Thank God for puppies and illegal aliens!!

It's been a month since I last posted. I apologize and before you get excited, I can't leave a big old post tonight either. I love writing on this blog but it really takes a lot of energy outta me. I'm going to try a little harder to post more stuff here... soon...

My hit counter stopped working and I'm really pissed, I had over 14,000 hits on this blog. Musta been a glitch.

The kids finally went back to school after what they say was a "boring, lame" summer... must be rough... sleeping in every day for 3 months, not doing a damn thing... poor kids. We tried to make it fun. We camped, went to the beach, the movies and the water park one day. I spent their college fund at the fair and took them to a great concert. Whatever... pre-teens.

I'm pissed off at some of my friends on Facebook. They are old co-workers of mine that are seriously Republican and as if that's not bad enough, their ignorant. I know, I know... isn't that a give in? But, no, not always. I have Republican friends that aren't totally retarded. I try to have a legitimate conversation/debate with them and they bring up illegals and welfare. That's not Christian of you guy that posts endless "praise the good lord for this picture of a puppy and a duck"... Baby ducks and puppies need love but please don't give any money to a family of 5 that has no father around because he's in jail and no way for the mother to work and pay for daycare and rent... etc... How bout the folks that leave the "re-post if your happy that welfare people have to be drug tested". Yes, that is a great idea but the percentage of people abusing welfare and medi-cal is pretty small in comparison to the number of people that actually need it. It is much more difficult to get these benefits than it once was. I really need to do more research in this area because I am very close to telling more than one redneck hillbilly off in regards to their "I love God but hate welfare, illegal aliens and anyone that benefits from anything resembling good will towards men" Now, I am definitely NOT saying that it's ok for people to get government aid that don't need it, don't try every other thing possible to take care of themselves, or abuse the system so they don't have to work. I don't condone illegal aliens working here without attempting to become citizens and just going from Social Security number to Social Security number until their caught. There needs to be some regulation, some control. It's a lot easier said than done. My point here is that the right wing zombies (the people that just repeat what they hear on Fox news) often blame government funded programs and illegal aliens for our countries economic issues. They always say that the left blames the billionaires. Uh... yeah, the billionaires that don't pay enough, they are partly responsible, the mortgage brokers that gave out crazy loans and scored a whole lotta dough on money that didn't exist, the oil companies that are making their biggest profit years EVER while we are paying through the nose for gas. The wall street guys and the fucked up, completely unnecessary war that we started 10 years ago, these also contribute to our current economical situation. AND... why hasn't Obama fixed all of these problems yet? I mean come on already... Congress is TOTALLY cooperating with him on every thing he wants to do... right? God forbid he try to help the country by giving us health care that every one can afford, or offer up a stimulus plan. What a total asshole he is. Why didn't he wave his magic wand and erase all the debt that ol Bushy pants racked up for us?

These people with their fucking countdown until the next election, the jerk-offs with their "how's that hopey changey thing workin out for ya" bumper stickers and the dicks that keep saying that Obama hasn't done a damn thing to get jobs. Uh...neither has John Boehner like he promised. We can't create jobs if every friggin thing Obama tries to do the Republican run Congress tell him no. I guess I sound just as bad as the right, playing the blame game. It's a matter of how you look at it I suppose. Learn the facts... that's all I ask. And, quit bragging about how much you love the Lord while you trash all the people that are less fortunate than you. Quit saying that "your taxes shouldn't pay for welfare, health care and illegal aliens using all the free shit that's offered". Jesus probably would tell you to help someone that needs help. Jesus would probably want us to let the children of illegal aliens go to school and to the doctor when their sick. Wouldn't he? Wouldn't God want you to let the government help a single mother get groceries for her kids? Maybe he would say "teach those illegal aliens and homeless people to fish". Maybe he wouldn't say "go fishing for the homeless guy and bring him a 40 ouncer to drink while you cook the fish dinner" but he probably wouldn't tell you to call that homeless guy a lazy slob. He might want you to offer some kind words or a warm jacket or maybe pay a little bit more of your $90,000/year salary to help build a shelter. Wouldn't that be Christlike?

So... that's my "short" post. So much for just catching up on the latest...

In conclusion... I know that my right sided friends don't read this blog but if they did, I'd say this: Quit posting about how you love God and all the blessings he has laid upon you and your wonderful family when your very next post is about how thankful you are that God hasn't allowed our President to get anything done. Quit saying how great it will be in 517 days when another dip shit is sworn in to save our asses from our own asses. Quit posting pictures of snuggling raccoons and claiming that is proof of God's love while your bad mouthing the fact that the government is doing everything for lazy people. And PLEASE stop asking for less government involvement while you have a "thank your mother for deciding not to abort you" or "marriage is between 1 man and 1 woman" bumper stickers on your car. Instead of being pissed off about abortion being legal, teach your damn kids what a condom is... wow, what a concept! Instead of being pissed off about gay marriage, worry about your own damn marriage and quit giving birth to gay babies.

I'm not too sure about the existence of Hell but I do know Karma's a bitch.

516 days until Barrack is RE-ELECTED!!!

what do i call this?

I don't dislike Christians. I don't dislike Mormons or Catholics. I don't expect them to dislike me. I was baptized, made my First Holy Communion and I was Confirmed in the Catholic church. I believe in God and Jesus and all of the things that us Catholics are taught on Sundays. I do, however, question things. I do think freely and rely on my brain for some of my decisions and I try not to judge. I call myself a "recovering Catholic" because I no longer feel guilty for every little thing I do and I no longer try to use Jesus or God as my reason for some of my choices.
Logic is something that God gave to us and expects us to use. To say that the Earth was created 2,000 years ago instead of millions of years ago is not logical. To say that dinosaurs don't exist because the Bible doesn't mention them is absurd. I could be incorrect about the Biblical explanation of dinosaurs but I do believe their bones have been recovered from the ground, yes? Some of the religious groups that are trying to change the textbooks in our children's school so that only creationism is taught is very offensive to me. God would like us to have knowledge of ALL possibilities. He wants us to believe in many things, not just one. God is many things and ignorant is probably not one of them. The religion that I follow is Truth, Joy and Love. Whether I am Catholic, Jewish, Mormon or Christian; Truth, Joy and Love are the things that matter. Like a circle, these things need each other. Like mankind needing water, shelter and food.
Too many people follow the Bible literally. The Bible is a book of stories. The meanings behind those stories are sometimes wonderful and worth telling, but some people take these stories as total and complete truth and that is not fair to God. Our creator, whether it is named God or the Higher Power or Buddah or Imagination or Karma, is a fair and loving being. Like a candle off of a flame, we all light our own rooms and using the brain and logic that God gave us is our duty as Humans on this Earth. The leaders of our church's here in the United States need to be careful what they preach, their followers are scared of Hell when Hell is actually right here on Earth and in some peoples hearts. The preachers should stop reading the Bible word for word and start listening to their own logic.
I am worried when I send my children off to school. I want them to be spiritiual and live a life filled with love. I don't want them to be judged by their belief system and I don't want them to be questioned about the deciscions that their parents make. I know that my God loves me and created me the way I am. I know that the God that created me is proud of me and doesn't want me to be "saved" from the things that the Christians call "wrong and deviant and the work of the Devil". My God is funny and clever and loving. My God is the same God that created the Christians who hate and judge me and he is not as happy about their "wrong, deviant and devilish work" as he is about my passion and love for my lifestyle and choices. He forgives them and I pray that they are "saved" from their judgement and passion to dislike me.
