Kettles don't like being insulted, Mrs. Pot.

Begging your pardon, Ma'm, but you want us homeschoolers to get a "regular education" in public school, surrounded by social pressures that hinder my educational progress, forced to accept a meager education taught by teachers that have given up and are only sticking around because the teacher's unions keep caterwauling about being underpaid?

If I got that regular education that you want us homeschoolers to get, I believe I would become a lot like you.

Sure, I was shy when I was younger. I was incredibly shy in fact. I was terrified of asking the secretary at school what time it was. But I was not scared.

I don't understand how everyone seems to have the image that homeschoolers are hermits, residing in the dark caves of their homes and never come out except at night when there's nobody around. I have friends. I'm active at church. I do many activities. Do I look like I'm terrified of other children?

But what do I know, I'm only demented.

"What we have here, is a failure to communicate"

Above quote stolen blatantly from the film Cool Hand Luke.

While I might not agree with the GOP for spending thousands on a wardrobe for Mrs. Palin, I'm disgusted by the bias in media these days. Palin defends herself from the revolting flood of unnecessary criticism and BANG, news story.

Not once have I heard anything critical said of Michele Obama, or Biden's wife, or Obama's children. Sure I've heard some dirt being flung around by both sides. But still, I have heard so much unwarranted criticism of Palin over the last few months, I'm sick of it.

Yes, we have the right to free speech and yes we should be allowed to be critical of our politicians. But there is a massive difference between being critical and being downright malicious. Whatever happened to tolerance and respect for the other person and their opinions? Now, if someone happens to disagree with you, does that give you warrant to find every possible excuse to criticize them?

I'm not defending Palin just because she's my Republican homegirl (lol, didn't know I was ghetto, huh?). I'm defending her as a person. If the media were biased and totally trashed Michele Obama or defamed Biden's character needlessly, I would be outrage as well. It's not a party issue. It's an issue of respect.

Why be Democrat, when you can be Right?

Two days after Election Day. It feels as if a storm has just passed over. Even the weather reflects it. It was sunny today.

I helped at the Republican campaign office on Tuesday, making phone calls for McClintock and Yes on Prop 8. After the initial fright of talking to real people over the phone, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Not only is the feeling that you've done something to help a great man like Tom McClintock and helping to get the word out on Prop 8 rewarding, but they had free coffee and plenty of food.

I was invited to the Republican after-party where I had the honor of shaking McClintock's hand. He's so awfully sweet in person. ABC news was there, as well as one of their bigshot reporter/journalists Dana Howard. Then there was the cameraman who I'd spoken with before while helping at church with Prop 8 stuff.

And then we watched Barack Hussein Obama elected our 44th president. The silence that filled the room was deathly still and around the room was seen the shaking of heads and grim faces, I suppose in mourning the passing of this great nation. Nalya told me that she met some ladies in the bathroom who were literally crying over this.

It seems to me that Obama has really become a celebrity. People almost worship him, thus justifying my quoting Colbert. It frightens me that people flock to him without even reasoning what he stands for. The same goes for McCain. I'll admit, I prefer McCain over Obama but that does not necessarily mean that I agree with all of McCain's ideas. He's simply the lesser of two evils.

A few articles for my base of non-existant readers to read before I begin ranting:

I suppose you can put lipstick on a socialist, but he's still a socialist. And perhaps a little gender confused...

I'm kind of tired of talking politics. Tired of hearing about Obama and the left-wings pointing and laughing and saying "Look who won". Yes thank you, I realize he's our president now.

It saddens me to hear people say that if Obama was assassinated, they would be pretty happy, or at least they wouldn't mind it. That's disgusting. Despite the fact that we right-wing nutjobs disagree with the man's ideas, respect for the office and our nation should overrule it. Yes, I dislike his stance on a number of issues but I will give him the respect he deserves as a man and as our president.

Considering choosing lawyer as a proffession. Not exactly the job I've been dreaming of but the more I get into politics, it doesn't sound so bad. Still not sure as to my vocation, but I know now that the political scene is for me. Now, I've just got to find my exact position in the scheme of things. Might I be so bold as to hold aspirations to the presidency?

Peace out, loves.
