I am not a big politics person. I prefer not to engage. But, the Planned Parenthood craziness... is just that, crazy. It makes me angry. It makes me sad. It makes me want to make sure the WHOLE world knows. But, I am a wimp. I don't share much nor do I talk about it much. I don't see eye to eye on it with some family members, so I am not comfortable opening up the can of worms on FB or something. When I have mentioned to some family... they don't engage. At all. No one talks about it. WTF? And then I get more frustrated. And there is no point. Bc at that point... they just see a crazy person talking about whatever "issue" they have, and not trying to understand the gravity of this terrible situation- baby's lives, for profit. :(Nejhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00893712547794356586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-135816934281639491.post-61659457080110422822015-08-14T15:31:55.546-07:002015-08-14T15:31:55.546-07:00Amen, sister.

I will admit that a friend lent me Go Set a Watchman and I do plan to read it. But I wouldn't have bought it with my own money because I really do this it's one big snow job. <br><br>I like your venting!

I am having such a hard time understanding how Donald Trump is even an actual contender for the Republican nomination, let alone the leader. It's really freaking me out. But I think part of the problem is that the media (NOT Republican) thinks it's hilarious, and so they give him a lot more attention than he deserves.

I can't take the politics either - I just want some levelheadedness to rule the day, for people to logically thing through things start to finish and for the craziness to stop like a motorcycle hitting the Empire State Building. i"m having a hard time with the PP videos too; so heartbreaking, so raw, so much pain.Mrs. Amenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13284519769561973038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-135816934281639491.post-72105115342673130762015-08-14T08:20:18.092-07:002015-08-14T08:20:18.092-07:00Great blog post.

I have two dear friends in particular who have different political leanings than myself. Actually, I have MANY friends and family with different political leanings, but I'll focus on these two. We get along and have great relationships because we listen to each other and hear each other. It isn't a challenge to one-up the other or prove the other wrong. If a topic is just too raw or hits too close to home, we often choose to not talk about that particular thing. We do talk, though, about many of the things we differ on and learn much from the other. I think we are living in a time where if you don't accept all of me and all my choices and all I stand for, then you don't support me and I don't want to be your friend. That isn't how life works, though, and if people take the time to realize love and support comes without being on the same page about everything then we'd really be moving in a great direction. :) Sorry, think I need to step off this box I'm finding myself standing on right now!!!Dorothy Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03357712363850291104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-135816934281639491.post-65814444267783672472015-08-14T07:16:54.678-07:002015-08-14T07:16:54.678-07:00I love your angry face ;) As to Trump? I can'...I love your angry face ;) As to Trump? I can't even. I'm *hoping* much of this is media made because I can't fathom people really getting behind this guy. Telling it like it is and not falling prey to overPC talk is not the same as being a sexist jerk. How sad that we are so desperate for candor that we mistake arrogance and vile speak for the same thing. <br><br>And PP. Yeah. So much for ACA providing so many of these services. I mean, I thought women could just get their cancer screenings and BCP at their doctors for free now, right?!! But still PP remains the necessary women's health sanctuary (that just happens to rip apart their babies and give the pieces away. For money. But it's not selling.).

D...Oh no -- I wrote a long response and I lost it! Darn my keyboard. Take Two!<br><br>I read this and just kept nodding in agreement. I don't get the Trump thing either. He just seems like a bully to me. I also don't look forward to the election season and the inevitable mudslinging, negative ads, shadiness. What also bothers me is how much money is being spent on the race by a few key billionaires who thus have far more influence than any individuals should. That is not right in a democracy, if you ask me.<br><br>I'm a high school English teacher, so my colleagues and I were all abuzz when word got out about Harper Lee's new book. That said, I haven't read it, and don't plan to. TKAM is so perfect and whole just as it is; I don't want to read anything else about the characters. And I too have my concerns about how it was published. As a writer, I kind of cringe to think of someone finding an unfinished manuscript years from now and going, "Hey, let's publish this." I imagine those writers looking down from heaven and saying, "No! Wait! I meant to completely rewrite the ending!" :)<br><br>Thanks for the post -- I feel like you are a kindred spirit.Ginny Kubitz Moyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09128548282230490318noreply@blogger.com
