Friends, this is one of the big things you’ll really see me on my soapbox for.
So, something that I still have a really hard time with understanding is why Prop 8 passed, why people voted Yes on it, and why people think it’s okay to classify one group of people as “lesser” just because their religion says so. Of course, I’m only speaking rationally here, but doesn’t it seem that people who love God have much bigger things to worry about in the eyes of their Lord than voting Yes on Prop 8? God’s not gonna smote you to hell, you know. Remember that whole sin forgiving thing? Yeah. I dunno, I think that the whole “loving thy neighbor” thing holds more weight than “not-letting-thy-queer-neighbor-get-1000plus-legal-rights” thing. Sigh. And for people who this wasn’t a religious issue for – really? Really? Not cool man, soooo not cool. Linked from my friend Dani. ;) She’s is very full of awesome.
I love this man. I really do. I was a big hillary supporter but obama really has grown on me. And forserious, we just need a democrat in the office, and we were blessed with having a poised, talented, wise person as the democratic candidate.
This video is fabulous. I also posted the mccain speech because…..meh. Does anyone else think mccain looks like a giant baby? I’m not trying to be mean or insulting, I think he genuinely looks like a toddler. Both in diapers. Awww.
OBAMA!!!!
“i hear from the Waldorf-astoria, you can see the Russian Tea Room.” Priceless.
McCain….bah. Toward the end he actually gives obama some great praise. Worth watching for the sight of mccain being humble.
Part two.
All in all, I’m very pleased that these two men were able to come together, especially after three ever-heated debates, and laugh together and even compliment each other. It really makes me proud of this nation, for the first time in…oh, eight years…..to actually be a part of this country where two great men are fighting to lead. We have been given the choice between two such worthy candidates, instead of the usual “lesser of two evils”.
Speaking of which, does anyone else wish Sarah Palin would get eaten by penguins?
