I have had it. And it's only September. I have to hear about it and read about it and see until November. Many of the people that read my blog are my friends and my family. (Most do not comment.) And I know some of my friends and family do not agree with me about religion or politics. I have friends I have met through my blog and they may or may not have the same beliefs I do. I really don't know and it will not make any difference in our friendship. I am a Conservative. Pretty much as Conservative as they come. I will not debate or lecture on my beliefs, because if you go to a Bible you can pretty much figure them out. (Did I lose some readers? Whatever.) For those of you still here:
I am sick and tired of hearing about the Liberals. It seems they can do no wrong. Everything is someone else's fault. No responsibility is taken. NONE. I won't mention a name or a blog, but one of my friends (we met through our blogs and I love her to death) recently blogged about the Republican VP nominee. It was all good. And then someone she thought was her friend emailed her and said they could still be friends, but to never write about politics again. HUH? It's HER blog and she has HER RIGHT to express HER views. Shared or not. Right or wrong. This is why people go to war, fight for our country and sometimes die. For people to have the freedom to say things - stupid or not.
Another friend of mine - in real life, old college roommate, Leah - holds my same views in politics and shares them all the time on her blog. She is a very smart woman who has the courage to stand up for what seems to be the minority in this world.
Go here or here.
Now, to quote Leah, here we go: "Why is it that Liberals can say anything they want to say and yet when *I* voice my opinion, I'm a hate monger, a war monger, closed minded and evil?"
I don't know why either!!
This is probably all I will ever say on the matter. AND I do not necessarily like or dislike any of the nominees. I am just TIRED of hearing about it. No "hate mail" please.

Meandered over from Holli's Blog.
Enjoyed reading a few pages of yours and checked out your song list.
Your girls are adorable.
Just wanted to say hi so I wouldn't be stalking your blog. :)
Awwww. I still love y'all even though I'm as liberal as it is possible to be. We just have different world views. And that's okay, right? Also, I think you can say whatever you want on your blog!
I agree with you in that I'm sick of hearing about it! I can't wait until the election is over.
p.s. some of my best friends and favorite people are conservative... we just don't talk about it...lol:)
Amen sister! :)
Preach on sista' :)
DITTO to Jenny's and Leah :)
Amen! I'm right there with you! Glad you brough this up - I'm too chicken to talk politics on my blog!
I am very proud of you sweetie!
Dad spent 22 years to back our (all) rights and the kids and I paid part of that price to agree!You and Sunshine have that right along with this whole country! Iam conservative and free to tell you so!
God bles we love you each!

Thanks for sharing! My hubby posted a political post and also had someone post a comment about how Christians shouldn't "badmouth" people....and so on and so forth. Of course, the person signed it anonymously, but then asked him to remove the comment once he or she was challenged by another reader. I think as long as you are willing to sign your name to it, most reasonable people will gladly listen to your opinion and "agree to disagree" when necessary.
Anyway, enough of my commentary. Also just thought I would leave a comment since I check your blog daily and rarely leave any comments! You do such a good job with your pictures! I wish I took more and shared more!
Great post...I know I'm a couple of days behind on reading but I wanted to still leave a comment! I come from a military serving, Christian family and my husband went to Iraq 3 times and like you I call myself conservative, and I'm proud to! We should all stand up for what we believe in...that's our right, even if we disagree.
YOU GO GIRL!!!!!!! Everybody has freedom of speech and especially on thier OWN blog. I am right there with you. I am no where near Liberal or Political...I just live my life, but completely get you here...for sure :)
Bet that felt good to get off your chest.
Love ya,
Rach
