Middle East

I have some pretty strong opinions on the mess in Israel and Gaza, but I am going to keep them to myself.  No sense in stirring the pot.  I am still marveling at the GOP meltdown.  They are making all kinds of excuses why they lost when the simple truth is that the majority in the country did not trust them and did not care for their "do as I say, not as I do" mantra.  Abortion is wrong and should be illegal at all times.  Says Santorum even though his wife had an abortion.  Lets abolish Social Security says Ryan even though the went to college on his father's social security benefits.  I got mine, screw you.  Oh and my all time favorites:  You can't get pregnant from legitimate rape.  So, I guess one rape is legitimate and one would be illegitimate? Who decides?  A man, of course.  And Mourdock, not even to save the mother's life.  Well, Ireland is dealing with just that scenario right now and it was an Indian national that died because of the 5th century ideas.  Here is an idea:  Keep your bible out of my government and I will stay out of your church.  I find it disgusting that the religious right wants to tell me how to live, but get really rabid when there is a hint of the government getting into their lives.
