I've decided to become a Democrat!



Recommended Posts

I`ve decided, after much thinking, and some drinking, to become a Democrat. They`ve made great strides in the last few years to place us in a better position in the world, make our economy stronger, and give us as individuals a powerful voice.

Great men and women who aspire to help us think better by regulating what we think and by firing and/or destroying anyone who makes us think differently. They make us free by letting us do what they tell us to. Can`t be simpler than that!

Also, their motto "Do As We Say, Not As We Do" gives us a daily aim for our lives... our mistakes are inexcusable if they are not in alignment with the party - and why would we want to stray from that? A stern letter of disappointment will help us if we err.

And finally, and most valuably, they`ve taught me to embrace my enemy. Why fight and be miserable when I can adopt a hostile nation and their culture into my life. Hey, hummus on crackers isn`t too bad, and Camels make great pets. At least I won`t be in danger until tomorrow, Abdul tells me. Arabic is tough to learn, but in order to assimilate, I`ll take the extra time. It`ll be safer for all of us in the long run just to kneel.

Arabic is tough, it was my language in college. I was engaged to a Jordanian and hung around exclusively Middle Eastern men (most of whom would call themselves Palestinian) for a couple of years. Today i'm lucky if I can order food in a restaurant. It's one of those very tough languages that if you don't use, you truly lose. And it doesn't come flooding back like Spanish or French did for me.

freaking liberals
no faith having baby killers thats what they are.
they think homosexuals is a way of life

they need to read the BIBLE.it's a way of death

Could you possibly be any more offensive? There is no appropriate place on LBT for name-calling. Especially something as offensive as "baby killers". I am a Liberal, and a Catholic. Obviously I am opposed to abortion. That's why I would not have one. May I suggest that you read the Bible, too. Particularly the verse that says, "Let him among you who is without sin cast the first stone." And when you have achieved a state of sinlessness, then you may come back here and tell other people how wicked they are. In the meantime, you should be ashamed of yourself. God is not hateful. God is love.

Woa 396 power.! Why the anger??? We come here (LBT) to support each other differences. Take it easy. Have an open mind.

Like Carlene I'm a Catholic, Pro-life, but Republican. I have friends who are pro-choice,Mormon and democrat. All those differences just enrich my life.

C'mon let us get to know you. For sure we can agree on something

396, I'd like to suggest you try a bit harder to rein in your language. There are many ways to discuss your views and thoughts without stooping to name-calling. Thanks.

Hi, I hate it when people twist the words in the bible to marginalize and discriminate against others. Religion should be about embracing people and lifting people up, and not putting others down. Susannah

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
