Liberal is Anti-American?



In a recent interview Rep. Michele Bachmann, from Minnesota, basically calls out liberal democrats as "un-American" mostly because they see America as imperfect. I would argue that to see America as imperfect and work to make it better is the most American thing we can do. Our country was founded by men who questioned their government and fought to "form a more perfect union". These men were called seditionists and traitors, but it was because of them that we live in the country we love so dearly today. I would say that to become complacent and not question your government, to not hold it accountable for its actions, and to not work to make it better would be comparable to the loyalists of the revolutionary period, and therefore truly un-american.

Furthermore, the GOP has been accusing Obama of being socialist and questioning his patriotism because of his association with Ayers... what about the fact that Palin was a member of a political party that wanted Alaska to secede from the United States? I'm not sure but I believe when you want to leave the country you are apart of, that is the MOST un-american thing you can possible do. To question a government and to fight for change is one thing but to fight to leave a coutnry is a whole other thing!

If you can logically argue this, please do, because I am truly confused as to where the GOP gets off accusing Obama as being un-patriotic when their VP candidate wanted to leave the country?

Boom Goes the Dynamite

A classic.

Introducing... my new iPhone

So about 3 weeks ago, I became the proud owner of the new 3G iPhone and I LOVE it. I mean, I don't just love it, it sort of completes me. When I have a bad day, it makes me smile, with it's shiny little face and email updates. When I am sad, it makes me happy, with it's cute little apple self. When someone calls me and pisses me off, I no longer want to throw my phone out the window. I just simply hang up on said caller and then gently place the phone down on a solid surface so nothing happens to it. Really though, it is great and worth all the hassle I went through to get it. I had to wait almost a month for my little fruit to come in... I swear, people who adopt babies from foreign countries have a faster return rate than I did but not to worry, it all worked out. I know it's super materialistic and superficial and all that but it does allow myself to feel that much cooler than before. I like to think that it enhances the coolness that I already possess. Or think I possess. Or lack of knowledge about the coolness I secretly don't possess. Whatever, it works for me.

Speaking of working for me, I don't know how to operate this cute little maze of intricate electronic genius. I think maybe my fingers are too fat or my brain is too slow or my eyes get too easily distracted by all things shiny. Which ever one of those it is, it's really messin' me up. I get people's numbers and think I've saved them only to go to call that person and WHAMMO! No number to be found. (Granted the few times this happened, I had been enjoying some adult beverages...) I recently learned that I can no longer text and walk at the same time. The little darling is ultra sensitive and instead of writing, "Ok, girl. See u soon!" It comes out as "q# huek& Eed y xppj" which is no good for anyone. I am getting better at answering it, thank God for that. I think that was making not only me nuts but everyone who called me and could hear me talking just not to them, nuts too. And I am learning my way around all the settings, etc. So as you can see, it's been quite the process!

So, yeah, apple makes the cutest, best looking toys out there. I highly recommend this little dude... you know if you want to look cooler than you already are. Or pretend to be.
