I'm enjoying the pleasant temperature and relative quiet here on the deck with my little cat Tippy. I can hear only one lawn mower off in the distance. I expect the leaf blowers will fire up soon. And the sirens. We live in between a fire station and a rescue squad. We often pause conversations until the rescue vehicles move far enough way from our house for us to hear ourselves. I wish people would quit wrecking their cars and having heart attacks. It's getting on my nerves.
Back to the peace and quiet. I try not to listen to political ranting and raving but sometimes some of the assinine comments seep through my ear muffs. Like the business about the islamic community center that some imam wants to build near ground zero. You have to wonder if some Obama/democrat haters didn't put the imam up to that idea, it being so close to an election and all. What better hot button issue to be flogging right around election time. Nothing scares Americans (OK, some americans) more than the thought of evil mooslims worshipping right in our faces. Flaunting their strange god right on our christian soil.
Pause for sirens to go by .....
So the president says "chill, people, it's the American way to let people worship the way they want."
And the people aren't buying it, since, you know, the president isn't even a real American.
I had to chuckle when I read that the location for this proposed muslim center used to be a Burlington Coat Factory. So now the muslims are interfering with capitalism!! Damn them.
Did I ever tell you the story of how we tried to buy a fancy baby carriage for our 3rd born son and were thwarted by the security system at our local Burlington coat factory? I'm sure I haven't told you cause I can't really talk about it yet. It's too emotional. He'll be 21 in November ....
So, come November 3rd, the day after the election, things will quiet down re: fearmongering and hate speech and outlandish proposals to rewrite the constitution. And my baby will turn 21.
