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

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.
