Back again

Since I began this blog a couple months go I have been using the on screen keyboard to write. My keyboard hasn't worked since I spilled water on it awhile back.  A little more than  a week ago a friend told me that she had an extra keyboard and that I could have it.  Well, I was hoping I would get it way before now and so I stopped writing in hopes that I could type normally. Life happens. No keyboard yet, but I think writing helps me mentally and emotionally so here I am.

I had been hoping that the "Tea Party" movement would turn out to be a good thing, and maybe it still will be. But there have been too many implications of racist and sexual orientation related slurs and actions to be ignored.

Originally, I was gong to write about my irritation with the liberal media's handling of  conservative commentator and blogger Andrew Breitbart; until I did a little research. I still don't like how he was handled, more on that next post, but my perspective has changed a bit.

I am not going to get into the specific allegations that I read about because there are a number of them, I don't want to type that much and, frankly, I don't think the specifics are too pertinent to the point I want to make.  Let's just say the N and F words were used waay to much. In my opinion, using those words even once is wrong and should be beneath responsible adults.

I guess you could say I have a "if it quacks like a duck its a duck policy" If I hear something bad about a person one time I tend to ignore it. But if I hear the same thing about a person from a couple more sources I believe it.

From what I have read there seems to be at least a portion of people in the Tea Party who are intolerant.  And if they want to be taken seriously as a movement they need to remove that element from their midst.

I do believe that as a country we need to move on from the two party system. There are some major changes that need to be made but will ever really happen as the system is now. Honestly, I think that Republicans and Democrats are too busy blaming each other and name calling to really find solutions to problems.

It was my hope that the Tea Party would really become a credible movement.But with the hatred towards Sara Palin,  the insanity that is Glenn Beck, and the intolerant faction I don't see credibility.

I almost miss Ross Perot....  almost.
