Tea Party

Boy, I opened a can a worms today when I sent out an e-mail to my Liberal "friends." A number of them told me to take them off my e-mail list. I have rarely sent political e-mails to people I know don't agree with my political views. Now I know why.

The e-mail raised some legitmate questions about President Obama, and the person who was asking them was a responsible person, Lou Pritchett, an executive with Procter and Gamble. I wonder why his comments raise such ire with liberals?

It's indicative of the vast divide there is in this country between liberals and conservatives. The picture above is of the Tea Party rally in Greensboro on Tax Day, April 15th. It was peaceful and well organized. The people who turned out were normal, every day citizens who are concerned about their country. They are hardly the right-wing radicals the left describes them as being.

Changes

My quiet evenings will change starting tomorrow. Daughter and grandaughter are moving in. They'll be living with us - I have no idea for how long. The marriage isn't working and they are now officially separated. Here in North Carolina a couple has to be separated for a year before they can divorce. A lot can happen in a year.

I feel a great sense of sadness. There is so much in the world that just isn't right. Dinner with a friend tonight was another tale of woe. Her family has been experiencing a great deal of hardship, and there seems to be no way out.

My job hunt has produced absolutely nothing. I've been out of work for a year now. I get no replies to the resumes I send out. It's so disheartening.
