Blue Girl

In case anyone wasn't aware (which would be nearly impossible unless you just never met me, or are a client who I am not allowed to discuss my opinions with,  ha ha)  I am Pro-Choice even though I desperately wanted another baby but had two miscarriages and my husband is adopted. I don't feel any rape is legitimate no matter what a person wears, what they say or what their occupation is. I support peace vs. war even though there are people with military backgrounds on both sides of my family.  I believe in God, I pray and read the good book sometimes, but am not perfect and have my own way of thinking that does not seem to fit into any organized religion that I've found so far in my life.  I whole-heartedly support gun control laws even though my husband loves guns.  I believe in Evolution and Carl Sagan's "organic soup" which I learned about in anthopology class in a Catholic high school (where we referred to him as "Uncle Carl").  I don't smoke pot but I think if someone is going to put anything in their body it needs to be of a high quality. I don't care what people do in the privacy of their own homes whether it's two men, two women or a mixture of both; just so long as it does not involve children, animals and it is mutual.

And I voted in last week's election but have decided I will wait to tell the story of who I voted for and why, to my first grandchild, if I ever have one.  If not, I'll take my ballot choice to the grave with me :)  Sorry Dad, I ended up not writing you in like I said I was going to do on Facebook.  ha ha!

The following was emailed to me by my very, very, very liberal friend son sent it to her this weekend:

Dear Red States:

We’re ticked off at your Neanderthal attitudes and politics and we’ve decided we’re leaving:

“Legitimate rape,” is almost reason enough!

In case you aren’t aware of whom we are, we include Hawaii, California, Oregon, Washington, New Mexico, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, New York and the rest of the Northeast.

We believe this split will be beneficial to the nation and especially to the people of the new country of The Enlightened States of America (E.S.A.).

To sum up briefly:

You get Texas, Oklahoma and all the slave states.

We get stem cell research and the best beaches.

We get Andrew Cuomo and Elizabeth Warren.  You get Bobby Jindal and Todd Akin.

We get the Statue of Liberty.  You get Opryland.

We get Intel and Microsoft.

You get WorldCom.

We get Harvard.  You get Ole’ Miss.

We get 85 percent of America’s venture capital and entrepreneurs.

You get Alabama.

We get two-thirds of the tax revenue.  You get to make the Red States pay their fair share.

Since our aggregate divorce rate is 22 percent lower than the Christian Coalition’s, we get a bunch of happy families.  You get a bunch of single moms.

Please be aware that the E.S.A. will be pro-choice and anti-war and we’re going to want all our citizens back from Afghanistan at once.  If you need people to fight, ask your evangelicals.  They have kids they’re apparently willing to send to their deaths for no purpose and they don’t care if you don’t show pictures of their children’s caskets coming home. We wish you success in Afghanistan, and possibly Iran as well, but we’re not willing to spend our resources in these sorts of pursuits.

With the Blue States in hand, we will have firm control of:

80% of the country’s fresh water, more than 90% of the pineapple and lettuce, 92% of the nation’s fresh fruit,

95% of America’s quality wines (you can serve French wines at state dinners), 90% of all cheese, 90% of the high tech industry, most of the US low sulfur coal, all living redwoods, sequoias and condors, all the Ivy and Seven Sister schools plus Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Cal Tech and MIT.

With the Red States, you will have to cope with:

88% of all obese Americans and their projected health care costs, nearly 100% of the tornadoes,

90% of the hurricanes, 99% of all Southern Baptists, virtually 100% of all televangelists, Rush Limbaugh, Bob Jones University, Clemson and the University of Georgia.

We also get Hollywood and Yosemite, thank you.

38% of those in the Red States believe Jonah was actually swallowed by a whale, 62% believe life is sacred unless we’re discussing the death penalty or gun laws, 44% say that evolution is only a theory, 53% that Saddam was involved in 9/11 and 61% of you crazy B*%#*%#s believe you are people with higher morals than we lefties.

We’re taking the good weed too.  You can have the crap they grow in Mexico.

Sincerely,

Citizens of The Enlightened States of America
