The wisdom of my 55 years

[serryjw]

In honor of my birthday I am going to post a quote that I heard recently (It's paraphrased)

Americans are what they buy, not what they believe


We constantly try to figure out what makes RWers tick. Well, that's it. I have (an all of you do to) have strong belief systems.

I believe in the Bill of Rights
I believe in social justice
I believe in equal rights for ALL Americans
I believe that my govt should be out of my bedroom, my doctors office and the wedding chapel
I believe my body is my own and any decision I make should be a private one between me, my doctor and my God
I believe in the wealthiest country in the world no one should live on the streets and not have sustainable food.
I believe that we are all connected and when I hurt a civilian Iraqi(or anyone else) I am hurting myself and those I love. add to my list concerning what you belive

Now what does RW republican believe? They say they believe in Jesus, But somehow they missed his teachings. He would be turning over in his grave if he know how his name is used/abused.

Are Republicans a Hummer, a BIG screen TV and a well funded portfolio? Have you asked a republican what they believe? They look at you with glazed over eyes and have no clue how to answer.

Thank you for the sharing.

2. Actually, Jesus cannot be turning over in his grave since it is reported

that he rose from the dead. LOL

Happy Birthday to your daughter...What is her name?

8. Her name is Anya.

She and I are celebrating alone today because her father is in Mississippi training to go to Iraq, and both of our families live out of state. We will be having the big party next weekend at Mom & Dad's. She might think birthdays last a long time, LOL!

10. Thanks!

German heritage is the only one we both share, so we chose a German name. We americanized it so that people wouldn't pronounce the J (Anja).

Enjoy your day!
