Bush had 42 other white presidents to stand behind with no fear to push his agenda thru:-)<br /><br />Also Bush pushed a lot of his agenda illegally and behind the scenes. Obama seems to believe in transparency and making grand announcements about what he is doing, which then subjects him to a lot of scrutiny and in some cases unfortunately paralyzes him from moving forward. In the words of the 1st Bush, it appears as if Obama is trying to instill a “kinder, and gentler Nation. <br /><br />Have the “audacity of hope” that if Obama gets the next 4 yrs, and the Senate retains 60 votes or more, that Obama will work hard for his lefties:-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8497008195102106027.post-91690492285183601622009-06-18T17:53:57.096-07:002009-06-18T17:53:57.096-07:00Thanks for that Moderate Mahogany!
You are right,...Thanks for that Moderate Mahogany!<br /><br />You are right, very few moms would raise up Bill as a paragon of virtue. <br /><br />Of course, you are also right about the debate to legalize marijuana. It doesn't make you a bad democrat (or anything else) to want to see marijuana remain illegal. I do think that we need to start rethinking our sentencing protocols for people who are convicted of selling or using marijuana. <br /><br />The only place where we differ is that I still have yet to see where marriage is a privilege. Driving is a privilege, because we have to pass certain tests and maintain certain rules. But the institution of marriage doesn't have any rules or regulations that can keep you from getting married. For instance, if a polygamist is found guilty in a court of law and all his marriages are legally dissolved, he can turn around and get married again, the very next day. A woman who gets married, cheats, whose husband leaves her, can get married again, anytime she wants. You see where I am going with this and I don't expect you to agree with me, it is just one of the main reasons that I think that it is a right, a civil right, and therefore should be available to everyone. <br /><br />But thanks for the food for thought! And quoting my girl India is ALWAYS correct! We should all come back to the middle.<br /><br />LASTLY, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING ON MY BLOG! IT MEANS THE WORLD TO ME!Visibilityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17756400715246010180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8497008195102106027.post-27788138585996019652009-06-18T15:15:25.024-07:002009-06-18T15:15:25.024-07:00Visible Woman,
I think Bill Maher is an intellige...Visible Woman,<br /><br />I think Bill Maher is an intelligent, gifted individual as well... and I believe he functions exceptionally well in bringing hypocrisy to light. However, he is far from being a poster child for how I want to conduct myself in life (and definitely not my children). I am a registered democrat, and proud to be one, but I don't think I would necessarily consider myself to be a "lefty." What's wrong with moderation? Does not thinking marijuana should be legal make me a bad democrat? Does thinking that marriage is a privilege (and I use that term loosely as a married mother of 19 years) specifically reserved for a man and a woman make me a homophobe? Because I have gay friends too, and I love them, but I do think that marriage is the basic building block for a family, and that families thrive best with a mother and a father. Now that may not be the trendy thing to say, and I know the majority of the blogs I visit feel the same as you, but I must confess that I do not believe the antidote to extreme conservatism, is extreme "leftism." Can't we do like India Arie suggests and "Come back to the middle?" Cause that's what I think our President is trying to do, and God bless him for it. Food for thought...<br /><br />Moderate MahoganyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
