i have lost all patience with bigoted e-mails.
really!
i can laugh at the ones that poke fun at elected officials. comedy about them is an american staple.
what i can not abide anymore are the ones that are ugly, mean spirited, full of falsehood and hearsay and have no more than a moments thought, if that, to the fact that they are disgusting at best, treasonous and violence provoking at their worst.
the real kicker is that i keep getting these hate filled ones, america is perfect ones, arm yourself to the teeth and take back your country ones...
from people that never served, are on unemployment or assistance a lot of the time, use drugs, have multiple DUIs, have low morals (not that i have high ones mind you or haven't had a drink or two over the line)
yet have the arrogance to call for armed insurrection as they wrap themselves in the flag and wave their bible around like it was a magic wand. (which i always thought was a little off putting, waving around what you believe is a holy book and the word of god)
anyway, my little rant.
i can not equate ANY political party with a god or a devil. i think that's blasphemous at best and i have always looked a little suspiciously at anyone but especially any politician that flaunts their religion(and in THIS country, that would be christian politicians)
so please. thankfully we still have elections so IF you do not care for a specific politician or party or style of governing, get your lazy ass to the polls next time and VOTE! (after doing some reading and watching of more than 1 t.v. channel and there is this thing called the Internet, use it.)
by the time you get done becoming an informed voter(and when you do you can, if you want, cancel out my vote, at least i will know you have valid reasons instead bigotry and stupidity and fear.)
in the meantime spare me the racist, far right blasphemous crap e-mails.
jokes i can take. pudd'n sends me some funny stuff, but the other people-and you KNOW who you are, no thank you.
oh, and yes, i'm proud i suppose of being white-to answer one of the e-mails. i could break it down more for you-white/female/italian-english american/brown eyed/grey haired/ A positive blood type/right handed, blah blah blah.
but you know what i'm MOST proud of???
that i try to treat others as i would like to be treated.
don't always succeed, fucked up plenty in 57 years, but i try.
wish the e-mailers would. especially the "lady" that sent the "proud to be white" e-mail to someone that sent it to me.
she may be proud to be white because that's about all she has going for her. that's sad.
the arm yourself one was from a guy.
rant over.

The problem about people who are proud to be white, is that they believe that's something to be proud of.
Wish some of them would actually READ their Bibles, instead of just waving them at other people.
And I always thought you were blonde.
it always puzzled me. i don't understand it. you are what you are born. i didn't have any say wether i was born with white skin anymore than my brown eyes.
i'm not ashamed to be white or brown eyed, i just am what i am, like popeye.
am i proud to BE an american?
i was born here. i am proud OF america.
my grandfather was proud to BE an american. he CAME here. he became an american citizen and he was damn proud of that fact. he worked to BE an american.
it's just odd. we are all human beings. it would be nice if we understood that we have far more in common than not, and work to make the world a better place by improving what we can instead of stubbornly insisting that somehow 1 group is better than another and needs no iimprovement.
no, not blonde. my hair was originally almost black. it's a silver now. that's why it looks sort of platinim blonde in pictures.
everyone in my family greyed early.
