I like your views Diane. I like your stance on accepting your daughter no matter what (isn't that part of being a loving parent??). I like that you know that to defend someone else's rights even when they are polar opposite to yours is what this country should be based upon. I like the way you kick FR's butt with kindness too.

Really. Especially when someone is clearly speaking heartfelt thoughts and opinions.<br /><br />But that ugliness spews on both sides.<br /><br />I don't want to be judged as narrow-minded, cold or unfeeling due to heartfelt beliefs I hold either.<br /><br />And I DON'T pack a gun, and I DISLIKE Rush Limbaugh...alot.<br />I hate war, and I love reading the Bible. I find it to be insightful, comforting and full of wisdom if the reader is there looking for those things. One can learn much by reading how Jesus handled people who did not believe Him, or the things He taught. He never wavered or conformed, but stayed a true peacemaker to the end of His time here on earth. He spoke harshest to the religious leaders whose hearts were NOT where they should be. He was not afraid to confront, but those he chose to reprimand were those who had issues of the heart.<br /><br />I do not spend time around anyone (liberals and conservatives alike) that spew hatred.<br /><br />Not worth it.<br /><br />It's best they don't follow you.<br /><br />I've been on a couple of sites that I found offensive, so I didn't return.<br /><br />Other sites, I still enjoy although they don't follow my overall ideology, they are still interesting and I can enjoy the person behind them.<br /><br />Your differing opinions do not offend me.<br />Someone calling you a lesbian, when they have no idea where you're coming from, offends me. And telling you you're not a good parent when they clearly have no idea, offends me.<br /><br />God help us all.Sherri Murphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01536108320748561406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5422526707436212403.post-53132739181536005202009-05-27T16:26:14.104-04:002009-05-27T16:26:14.104-04:00You are the BEST letter writer backer EVER!
