I'm Not a Hater


Well, maybe that isn't exactly true. I have been hating being away from my internet readers-both of you!

Hee! Hee!

Since the end of June, we have been having computer problems. I won't go into the gory details, but let's just say it has been

FRUSTRATING!
sorry for the yelling.

I can't wait to catch up with all of your blogs and start doing more sharing myself. I hope you have had a great summer!

Now.

Swinging to a completely different subject.....

I don't know if you are a Democrat or a Republican or an Independent. It doesn't matter to me because I know that you are an American ......

(unless you are a Russian spammer who I wish would get lost)
 (Do I have any readers from other countries? If I do, please let me know. I'd love that!0

......who loves her country and wants her children and grandchildren to grow up with the idea that anything is possible if they are willing to work hard and take advantage of the opportunities this country has always offered.

We MUST become informed voters. We didn't know much about President Obama during the last election, but there is more vetting being done this time around. This time there is no excuse to be ignorant of his philosophies and dreams for the U.S.A.

There are books galore this time.

And a documentary.

I beg you to go see Obama: 2016.


                              

We went Saturday afternoon expecting to be the only 4 in the theater.

That was not the case.

I really expected it to be a total Obama bashing party filled with individuals expressing their feelings about his policies.

That was not the case.

I expected it to be a Republican party pep rally.

That was not the case.

Instead, the movie was an exploration of what makes Barrack Hussein Obama tick. It was a series of interviews of people who helped explain the viewpoints and backgrounds of those individuals who mentored him or helped form his opinions.

It was a documentary heavy on facts.

And-the really scary part for all of us in this country-how those decisions really are meant to fundamentally transform our nation into something we do not want and cannot believe.

You may leave the theater still supporting our current president. If that is the case, so be it. At least you will do it with your eyes wide open.

Please don't be a hater and unfollow me if you disagree. This is not going to become a political blog, but I hope sane grown-ups can discuss the really important issues we face without disliking one another. Let me know what you think in the comments!

Hugs,

  1. I agree we did go into the last election kinda blind not knowing a whole lot about Obama. I think this time we can make more of an informed voting choice. I'm one definitely to steer clear of politics I also don't care which party you affiliate yourself with I think we should all be making wise choices for our kids,grandkids and great GK! Whomever the best person is for that job. Traci

  2. I have missed you!! (except for WWF :) and it's probably my turn...
    My husband wants to see that movie...I don't like scary movies...so I don't know...
    I went in search today of a bumper sticker...asking, asking, phone calls, etc...in that particular town the R headquarters doesn't open for two more weeks! I was shocked.

  3. Hi Susan! Love your blog! So glad we are embarking on this holy yoga journey together! I just saw 2016 and I agree, everyone should see it. It's so difficult to talk about politics these days without people arguing which is sad because we need to talk about the issues and work together to find solutions! Thanks for your writing! Looking forward to getting to know you better!

  4. Glad your back!
    I am not a hater either but because of not being for Obama I have been treated as such. I was yelled at at my job by someone for Obama even though I had never said anything about politics. My being a Christian and not getting involved in conversations that were inappropriate at work labeled me. I am very surprised at the anger that comes from people towards Christians and Republicans especially when we (I) never said or did anything wrong, mean or otherwise. (Although - I do have a choose life tag on my car).
