Living out loud

 

Story Tools

Advertisements
I am a 32-year-old mother of two and a part-time nurse. My husband works extremely hard to provide for our family, and I give it my best every day to teach my girls about love, kindness, forgiveness and putting the needs of others first. I have friends who stay at home and friends who work. I have friends who practice Christianity and friends who don't. I have friends who are pro-choice and friends who are pro-life. As women, we have different lifestyles and make different choices for our families, but we are able to do so without attacking one another.

I am beyond disgusted at the rhetoric concerning Sarah Palin. Just because she does not represent the views of all women does not mean she does not represent the views and aspirations of many. Do I care to hunt moose? Not hardly. Is she pretty? So what? She stands for something! And she has done it "out loud" where all the "open-minded unless you are conservative" crowd could hear.

I am over trying to be PC because I may be labeled intolerant. I have found my passion again and not due to my great love for McCain/Palin. All the credit goes to the far-left crowd who have made every view acceptable, except mine!
