Funny Comparisons
I got this from Conservative Northwest, a website I sometimes read. I hope I don't offend any of my readers, I just thought the comparisons were funny. Enjoy!
-If a conservative doesn’t like guns, he doesn’t buy one. If a liberal doesn’t like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.
-If a conservative is a vegetarian, he doesn`t eat meat. If a liberal is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.
-If a conservative sees a foreign threat, he thinks about how to defeat his enemy. A liberal wonders how to surrender gracefully and still look good.
-If a conservative is homosexual, he quietly leads his life. If a liberal is homosexual, he demands legislated respect.
-If a black man or Hispanic are conservative, they see themselves as independently successful. Their liberal counterparts see themselves as victims in need of government protection.
-If a conservative is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation. A liberal wonders who is going to take care of him.
-If a conservative doesn’t like a talk show host, he switches channels.Liberals demand that those they don’t like be shut down.
-If a conservative is a non-believer, he doesn’t go to church. A liberal non-believer wants any mention of God and religion silenced.
-If a conservative decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it. A liberal demands that the rest of us pay for his.

12 Fast Years
They all warned me it would go fast, but I didn't believe it. My life is mainly defined by the service I render to my family. Each day is filled with opportunities to love, guide, instruct, listen and cheer. Days filled with responsibilities tend to breeze by. October 6, 1997 to October 6, 2009 went faster than I could imagine. My oldest is 12.
Andrew and I were reflecting tonight on all the times Ally asked for more "grown up" things in her life and we always said, "when you're 12." Given that she has a memory like an elephant, Ally will be getting her first pair of "heels," a tube of mascara, dangling earrings, and . . . gulp . . . a cell phone. Why on earth did we think 12 was a good age for these things - she's just a baby still, isn't she???? Perhaps not, this child has always been wiser than her years. The other night we were sitting together talking and she said, "Mom, I just know we were best friends before we came to earth - how do you think we decided who would be the mom and who would be the daughter?" I don't know how it was decided, but I'm so happy to be the mom, because it gives me the opportunity to watch this amazing girl grow into a young woman. I love you Ally - shoot for the stars.
