I never knew Huckabee had a Fox interview show on the weekends. I was surprised. I pricked up my ears because the subject was Gay Marriage, and the most vile, disgusting things were said. It's a very sore spot with me right now, so mention of your meeting with him triggered a very pained and lousy reaction on my part, which I regret (that's iSm Reget No. 4,662, if you're keeping track).


The story of your meeting with your political idol is really rather excellent and I'm so happy for you that it happened.

I completely understand the emotions involved. It's okay. I'd be lying if I said my feelings were not hurt a little but I have to be understanding of other people's feelings too so it's okay. I'm not King of the world and it surely doesn't revolve around me.

I just wish we could all find common ground. I've seen things from both sides of this issue that have disturbed me. The swastikas on the signs I have seen posted from the No protests made me want to puke (as someone who would have been persecuted under Hitler because the disabled were treated the same as Gays and the Jews were) and the those Jerks who made the protest over Disneyland make me want to shoot down their plane I just wish people would not fight over something that is just so petty compared to poverty or AIDS, or any other life-or-death issue.

I may be a Christian Conservative but I am highly compassionate(but some of you knew that). but now I am just rambling so I probably should stop before I make any less sense and my point is lost.
