OK, Here Is What I Said…

People keep asking about the post I deleted. After reading it again, I should have kept it and Susan’s comments.

In a nutshell, I titled the post, "The torture is almost over." I then went on to say I was looking at the debate, and I have watched EVERY SINGLE ONE, of our President’s debates and I said I was not inspired and I felt a lot of what he was trying to do in office right now was too little too late. Then I said, I was not reassured by his speech. Susan left a message saying had it not been for this "uninspiring" president, I would be in a terrorist state, wearing a veil with no rights. She fears the country is going to hell in a hand basket with the next batch of Presidential candidates.

I will make it clear, I do not vote along party lines. I happen to respect our President, because he is OUR President. I pray for the man to be safe every night. I don’t agree with many of his policies, but I can respect he has an opinion and in the end, he thinks he is doing what is right for the U.S. I did not bash him. I am tired of all the political bullcrap that goes on in Washington, and when he is gone, Congress can not use him as an excuse for not getting their shit together. That was my whole point. I happen to like two people on the republican side and two on the democratic side.

I love this time of year during an election year. It is exciting and fun to watch people get out there and prove to you they are worthy of running the country you live in. How can you want to shut down lively debate about our leaders? How can you NOT want to hold them accountable for their actions and decisions? How can you try to sensor me for having an opinion?

Like I stated earlier, this blog will be dedicated to crafty, creative stuff. I am about uplifting, not breaking people down. Even if I don’t agree with them, I will show them respect. That is the right thing to do.

What Do You Stand For? **Art Slam**

The Art Slam is back with a vengance! If there is nothing that gets on my nerves more, it is someone questioning my loyalty. Don’t assume to know things about me just because of what is on this blog. At the same time, I accept responsibility for the power of my words. I think we all should do that more. I will post my journal entry in a couple of days.

So, use your words and create something that tells me what you stand for.

Opinions Matter

From this day forward, this blog will strictly be about crafting and paper crap. Seems you can’t have an opinion without people accusing you of being unpatriotic. That is bullcrap and I won’t stand for it.
