If I hear the word "Arizona" uttered in any conversation, I am going to just walk away.

Also, I can't forgive them for Sarah Palin. I should probably call local headquarters and formally resign, but then I wouldn't get to vote in the primary.Broadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03980127846960407409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7790407915382213150.post-46846314428658709312010-07-18T15:10:07.150-06:002010-07-18T15:10:07.150-06:00No kidding. Since when did self imposed ignorance ...No kidding. Since when did self imposed ignorance become a virtue? Since when did improving our situation become a threat? Maybe since forever...it seems humans DO have a propensity to stick with a known negative rather than risk change in hopes for a better tomorrow. But we have to pull together and stick to that hope for the better tomorrow - even when the extreme conservatives and their "manipulation by ignorance and fear" tactics make us want to throw up our hands and become expatriots like so many good Americans-turned hopeless Americans have in the past.<br />If this means passing out fliers, I say pass them. I knocked on doors in the last election for Obama - in the most conservative neighborhood in our town. It may have helped - our state went blue! But every day it is a renewed battle against ignorance. It seems like ignorance could win. And that scares me. But we gotta fight, somehow. If not, we are part of the problem, NOT part of the solution.<br />Fight, girl.

...Long time reader, very very infrequent commenter.<br /><br />Just wanted to let you know that you aren't alone in these thoughts. I completely agree with what you're saying.<br /><br />As a matter of fact someone I know linked to a Fox and Friends transcript from Monday where they compared Jimmy Buffett to Hugo Chavez. Buffett gave a concert in Gulf Shores, AL to support the businesses that are suffering because of the oil spill. During the concert, he said that it was caused by issues in the Bush administration (likening it to having Dracula running the blood bank). They seriously compared that statement with Chavez calling Bush the Devil.<br /><br />That kind of thinking scares me to death.<br /><br />Katy in DCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
