It's hard, I know, particularly since they seem to get such pleasure out of their own bigotry and derision. <BR/><BR/>I personally have a less difficultly loving the people on the other side of my TV screen than the ones down the hall who agree with them. But I also see in these people a real need--even a craving--for love. They're lost, snarled up in a skein of lies and many of them don't know how to break free any more. They've got so lazy letting the hate mongers do all their thinking, they can't think for themselves.<BR/><BR/>I truly believe a lot of them subconsciously want to hear what we have to say, and when they do, they'll come around. But I don't think they'll listen if we first don't offer genuine love and acceptance to them.<BR/><BR/>We don't love with a hidden agenda--love IS our agenda. Bishop Robinson is right, I think. Love has to be the first plank in our platform.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01271248501086241494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6795165206797872713.post-35197412565706863442008-11-01T08:38:00.000-06:002008-11-01T08:38:00.000-06:00Dear Tim,Me too, everytime I start watching Fox Ne...Dear Tim,<BR/><BR/>Me too, everytime I start watching Fox News (just to see what new plot they are weaving) I keep the ¨control¨in my hand...I particularly have trouble watching all those blonds (who all look like a version of one another and failed attempts at trying for the Playboy Mansion) start spewing out the ¨Fox Feaux¨ party line...Meghan Kelly actually snears...so filled with mischief this group...and poor Greata, it appears, isn´t as smart as I thought she was...or at least, she´s pretending not to be to fit in with the other strident lightweights over at Fox.<BR/><BR/>Dear Leslie,<BR/><BR/>Coming attractions. I´m preparing my Tuesday Night OPENING PAGE celebration...I´ve just finished a painting...you see, it´s not the patio but it´s loaded with fresh energy.<BR/><BR/>Dear Tim (again)<BR/><BR/>¨Love them anyway¨ is what Bishop V.

Not that she's going away, mind you. But since about mid-September, every time I've seen her, I've prayed, "Oh Lord, how long?" A respite will be a most welcome thing.<BR/><BR/>I've thoroughly enjoyed hearing the pundits babble about how she's going to "be in the mix" for a long time. What are they smoking? The GOP, being the paragon of kindness it is, will never forgive her. She'll be remembered as the party's curtain-ringer.<BR/><BR/>I find it funny and ironic that all the cable chatty Cathies (particularly the FOX bunch) are so busy predicting her political future they've not paused to consider in all likelihood she'll probably take one of their jobs. (Sean Hannity beware!) And when that day comes, the remote control will be one of my favorite gadgets!Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01271248501086241494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6795165206797872713.post-77187523659672444612008-10-31T13:07:00.000-06:002008-10-31T13:07:00.000-06:00Fred yes, until the GOP moves away from the neo co...Fred yes, until the GOP moves away from the neo con and right wing religious movements, they will have trouble. If, in fact, The O wins on Tuesday, the GOP is going to need to seriously rethink their party from the ground up. The earth shifted beneath them and they need a new foundation.<BR/><BR/>I'm not really too wild about Ford. His cabinet, like Nixon's, had all the bad guys we know today in it. I think he was a nice guy on the outside, but could be a very dangerous guy in the smoke-filled political room.<BR/><BR/>While Ford was prochoice, for instance, most of those in his cabinet were not, and we know those names well.<BR/><BR/>He took some major hits from his own party because he was night right wing enough.. sigh.Canyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14737285360280766111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6795165206797872713.post-90718593832107906272008-10-31T09:16:00.000-06:002008-10-31T09:16:00.000-06:00Leslie, you scared me, I´ll pay, I´ll give you you...Leslie, you scared me, I´ll pay, I´ll give you your treat...don´t do that again...I´m getting older, my heart, my heart!Leonardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16667415590825321701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6795165206797872713.post-59521441953248984002008-10-31T07:53:00.000-06:002008-10-31T07:53:00.000-06:00I vote for bigot.Happy Halloween Leonardo!I vote for bigot.<BR/>Happy Halloween Leonardo!Leslie Littlefieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14947021108663936352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6795165206797872713.post-7382062903788337382008-10-31T04:08:00.000-06:002008-10-31T04:08:00.000-06:00And millions of American voters believe this woman...And millions of American voters believe this woman is fit for high office?
