WOW!
So long, and no time to say what's been going on here. While I hope to write more soon, I thought I would post this on the off chance people will appreciate the irony...then think about everything at stake.

Originally, I spotted this on my Flickr contact screen, and then a text version was being sent around, and now I'm posting this here.

Take care, happy hump day, and as always, keep the faith!

I'm a little confused. Let me see if I have this straight...

If you...

• Grew up in Hawaii and raised by your grandparents, you're different.
• Grew up in Alaska eating mooseburgers, a quintessential American  story.
• Are named Barack you are a radical, unpatriotic Muslim.
• Named your kids Willow , Trig and Track, you're a maverick.
• Graduated from Harvard law School and you are unstable.
• Attended 5 different  colleges before graduating with a degree in journalism, you are grounded.
• Spent 3 years as a brilliant community organizer, become the  first black President of the Harvard Law Review, create a voter  registration drive that registers 150,000 new voters, spend 12 years  as a Constitutional Law professor, spend 8 years as a State Senator  representing a district with over 750,000 people, become chairman of  the state Senate's Health and Human Services committee, spend 4 years  in the United States Senate representing a state of 13 million people  while sponsoring 131 bills and serving on the Foreign Affairs,  Environment and Public Works and Veteran's Affairs committees, you do not have any real leadership experience.
• Possesed a resume that lists you have been a:  local weather girl, 4 years on the city  council and 6 years as the mayor of a town with less than 7,000  people, 20 months as the governor of a state with only 650,000 people,  then you're qualified to become the country's second highest ranking executive.
• Marrieded a well educated and accomplished woman 19 years ago, and are still married to her, raising two beautiful daughters, attend mainline Protestant churches, then you are not a true Christian.
• Cheated on your first wife with a rich heiress, and left your cancer survivor wife and married the heiress the next month, you're a  Christian.
• Taught responsible, age appropriate sex education, including  the proper use of birth control, you are eroding the fiber of society.
• Staunchly advocated abstinence only while governor, meaning people had no other option for sex education in that state's school system, and then your unwed teenaged daughter ends up pregnant, you are very responsible.
• Are married to a woman who is a Harvard graduate and now a lawyer, a woman who gave up a position at a prestigious law firm to work for the betterment of her inner city  community, then gave that up to raise a family with you, then your family's values do not represent American values.
• Finally, if your husband goes by the name of 'First Dude', with at least one DWI  conviction and no college education, who didn't register to vote until  age 25 and once was a member of a group that advocated the secession  of Alaska from the USA, your family is extremely admirable.
