Politics Belong Where?
I like reading blogs. Actually if I spent less time reading blogs I’d probably have more time to write at my blogs – what a concept. My favorite blogs to read are my crafting blogs. When I can’t sew or scrap it makes me feel good to read what others have accomplished. I also find them great motivators, along with a chance to learn different techniques. I understand though there might be times when one would like to spout off about another topic, I only wished they would take it to another blog – maybe run a separate one from the crafting blog as I have. I decided to drop two my sewing blogs that I generally read because of politics. I really don’t want to hear about their politics on my crafting blogs.
Now since they talked politics, and I am at my personal rants and ramblings blog I will give opinion to what they talked about.
This is my first one: http://sewingfantaticdiary.blogspot.com/2008/10/i-have-faith.html. I generally enjoyed learning about her techniques, even though I wasn’t overly inspired by her choices. She appears to be a gifted seamstress, but all of her ideas appear to be the same. Even if she takes a new pattern, by the time she makes the adjustments for her fitting, and her tweaks it appears to me to be the same as much of the rest of the items she made. But on to politics – she is an Obama supporter. I really don’t have a problem with it, but this post is not her first to go on about Obama. My issue is that she is not going on about his beliefs, about the changes he wants to make for the country, what makes him truly better to her than McCain. She goes on about small minded people who have short-sightedness about who Obama is. Even though I am not an Obama supporter, even I have corrected people who didn’t explore who Obama was but felt to believe bigoted emails. What surprises me is how I feel she makes this a race and/or color issue! In the beginning many of the blacks didn’t want to claim Obama as black – because his mother is white! He is not in line with the black race, this man was raised by a white woman, in private schools – can we say privileged. What makes anyone think he is special in knowing what it truly feels like to be the average Joe. I am not an Obama supporter; not because of any race issue (heck I don’t even think about it because he is half white!), I don’t like what he believes in for our Country. He is a democrat, he is for more government policies, bigger government as the government does more for us, provides us with more, which in turn increases my taxes. Look it was the democrats that gave us unemployment, welfare, social security, plus a host of other government entities that cloud my tax dollar, give to people that often don’t deserve it. I don’t want any more government entities such as these that fix things for people that don’t know how to nor want to fix things for themselves. If Obama has his way he will use our tax dollars to save all those people that didn’t know how to manage their money, got their homes foreclosed on, take away their repercussions to making bad decisions in life. He talks about more government laws to protect us, like I need more big brother! These are a few reasons why I don’t want Obama – heck this man doesn’t even have the experience to run our country! He has been a senator – not a governor – therefore hasn’t had to make the kind of decisions I think are necessary experience for the presidency.
Now my second one: http://gorgeousthings.blogspot.com/2008/10/and-now-for-something-completely.html. This woman makes truly wonderful garments, her seamstress skills are truly amazing – but I am done reading her blog because I really get tired of the side items not sewing related. This particular post was a little song she wrote slamming President Bush. She obviously feels the problems with the economics of the country right now belong to President Bush. In reality Bush seriously didn’t have a thing to do with this. This folks is fallout of two items that are the thanks for President Reagan; the Trickle Down Economics Package and the changes in the banking rules of 1987. To think that George W could make the changes, and have them take effect within his term in really short sighted, these things take longer than that to cause these kinds of problems. She then goes on to call the wars stupid; I guess she doesn’t care about 9-11, about the fall of the towers, about our sons, husbands, and fathers over there in these wars fighting. I found her whole little giddy song simply insulting to my intelligence, to my husband’s military service, to my belief in our country. I believe that some people are too small minded to truly understand why we are in these wars, the extent of time these wars are going to take, and those that have lied to us – those that called us names are some of the same countries that supplied these weapons to people like Saddam. My personal belief is that the UN was weak, Saddam had broken his pact long ago, the UN should have gone into Iraq long before we did. The entire UN was created to stop rulers like Saddam after Hitler, yet we have people that want to believe in the Monroe Doctrine – think we should bury our heads in the sand. If we were not present in these wars folks there would be more bloodshed on our soil, these terrorist are busy right now, but if we try to bury our heads again we will pay the price.
I dropped these two blogs from my Google Reader now, no reason to get myself upset with them. I can get my panties in a bunch from the news alone, therefore when I want to de-stress I want to read those fun & easy blogs, my crafts without the other bs.
since I’m a McCain supporter at this point. When this all began I actually thought about the democratic candidates, even thought about voting for one of them. Ironically, since they have carried this primary on they both have shown who they are and where they stand, which I’ll say is on the other side of my ideas.
. Personally, I thought she was a little daf along time ago. I still remember her dealings with the cattle future trading, wasn’t that a little insider trading Hilary? 
Or how about her dealings with White Water? Then there was that pesky White House Cigar Scandal! 
Personally I didn’t care what Bill did on his free time, I did care that he lied about it when he was caught. After all this was the President of our country that couldn’t take honest responsibility for what he had done. Then what was this issue of Hilary standing by her man 
That man should have been kicked to the curb with a big ole’ divorce! If this was my husband that had so publically embarrassed and humiliated me, he would have been gone! 
Kicking him to the curb would have been a way to keep some self dignity with the whole issue. The only reason I could see that Hilary didn’t leave him, was her over ambitious, self planning & manipulation for a some political career. I am amazed that people are just seeing her as self absorb, self centered, etc; obviously no one cared to really look at her past. Hilary if I wanted a woman to represent me I would want one that had dignity, self respect, showed me she was a woman of strong moral values, and Hilary doesn’t show these characteristics.
We know right now our house payments are affordable even if jobs have to be changed, if lifestyles become different! We don’t owe for more than one vehicle at a time, then usually have a goal to pay that off within 2 to 2 ½ years 
. Debt is not a way of life! 
So why on this green earth would I want to bail out all those idiots that wanted to live like that had money they really didn’t 
. This mentality of Obama’s gave me realization that he was a government guy 
one that believes in making the government bigger to take care of the people, instead of the people learning to take care of (and responsibility) themselves!
