The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

[wendybeth]

MBC, my kid's homeschool group is full of this sort of 'thinking'. The parents run around all freaked out about the latest attack on their child's innocence, rarely bothering to ever check it out for themselves. (Harry Potter is a good example). The viciousness of their attacks on Obama is astounding- yet few can actually point to anything he's actually done and cite that as the reason for their alarm. When confronted with facts, it's usually a vague sort of "Well, there's just something about him I don't like/trust." We all know what that something is- it's the skincolor their God gave him. I wonder why they don't ever consider that perhaps their God planned for him to be President? Why not- everything else in their lives is ordained by God- yet they are so reluctant to accept their elected leader. Forget about acceptance; just laying off on the assasination 'jokes' would be a nice change.
