Are You Kidding Me?

Majority Rules

And there are 50 percent of the voting public who want stuff. They want things and who is going to give them things? President Obama. He knows it and he ran on it. ~ Bill O’Reilly

I voted for Barack Obama. Twice.  For the record, I am not asking for, nor do I expect, a handout. I have worked since I was 17 sometimes two and three jobs at a time. Right now, I have two. NOTHING I have has been handed to me for free and quite frankly I’m getting a little tired of having to defend myself and my choices against people who see this country as “us versus them.” It’s not.

An American. And, most importantly, as a mother. I’m also happy that initial reports make it clear that the body was handled with respect and in adherence to his purported faith. Justice, in my mind, was served; vengeance was not necessary. My kids were 5 and 3 on September 11, 2001. They’ve grown up in the decade defined as the War on Terror. Living in the shadow of evil.
