Ok, it's been a while since I last posted.... a lot has been going on. Mostly it was the Holidays. Thanksgiving, Christmas, and soon to come New Years Eve/Day... Oh what fun it is to ride 300 miles to visit family.... or something like that.
So, I keep hearing certain relatives of mine referring to Bush as if they were hardcore leftists. Here I though I came from more conservative stock.... Shocking.... No? On one hand I have my grandpa talking about how the New Deal made things worse and yet he hopes that Barack and Co. will some how get it right...... Hmmmm. Interesting. A Great Uncle and Uncle and I were all talking politics and one of them says that he voted for Barack... because he couldnt vote for McBush the Third.... not because Barack is the best man for the job, no, because hes not a Republican.... and then, it gets better, he says that Barack made all his money while living overseas.... and that Barack grew up a poor black child.
Thats when it hits me square in the face... my family only watches the MSM and, unlike me, never tune into conservative talk radio... I just couldnt let the "poor black boy" thing slide, after all Barack isnt exactly Steve Martin (if you get it you do, if not, you dont). My Great Uncle and Uncle were shcoked to find out that Barack was raise more as a rich white kid than poor black boy.... I wonder what else they missed out on? Tony Rezkp, Rev. Wright, Bill Ayers? (If I spelled someones name wrong, please dont thinks its because I'm not educated, its because I dont care about them or repsect them enough to spell it right.)
Thnak GOD the Holidays are almost over.... I dont think I can take much more...
