What??

Okay! SO this post is going to be controversial but oh well, it's my blog so comment as much as you want! I am so annoyed at this election! I do not want to hear anymore about it! And it's not that I am mad at who won or lost. I just can not believe how we as American and Christians get wrapped up in it. It is perfectly normal and almost expected to criticize and critic other people. As far as passing along rumors that you hear that may or may not be true. I just can not stand listening to people on the news analyze and even make fun of these people that are trying to make a difference for our country. Some of the stuff I hear I just want to say, "how do you know that? How do you know what their intentions are? Do you really think that they are trying to hurt our country???" I think the last straw was yesterday, after school my kids came home and I heard them talking. One of them said, " i wouldn't vote for him, he tells lies." Then she went on to tell me what someone had told her at school, which was a lie! It's so hypocritical! Then later that night I was with some 13 year old girls who were talking about the election. One said, "If so and so gets to be president we are all going to die!! He is tricking us like Hitler did. Everyone loved Hitler at first and then he turned on them!!" I am thinking where would she have heard that. Does she even know what Hitler did??
Anyway!!! I am so glad for all the contention is over!! I think it is so sad that we teach our children to not gossip or spread lies but yet we as adults do it every election year! I know those who know me well know that I am guilty of this myself but now I ask the question... Why do we do this?? Let's find the good in others and chose the one that does the most good! I believe that we have a president who will help our country the best that he knows how! God will bless America!!!

  2. Excellent point! I had the same feeling yesterday when my kids told me some comments going around the playground. I'm nervous for Barack Obama. Ignorance is so dangerous.
