A cousin of mine has made it her goal in life to change my political view point.  At first these little neurotic emails of hers were dismissed as an old woman’s worries, but the hysteria has grown to doom’s day prophecies.  Now here I am, so effing annoyed I am typing with one hand (the left one at that) to express my displeasure at all the narrow minded, bigotted, idiots who exist just to spread terror among those who are too young to have formed opinions.  This woman has grandchildren for God’s sake and they shouldn’t be forced to listen to her rhetoric until she dies!  It’s child abuse and it must be stopped. 

The first emails were to warn me that a Democratic president would undo all the good work that had been accomplished by the current administration.  I thought so, that was why I had planned to vote that way.  She then started sending emails about how aal of the other candidates (except McCain) were going to remove troops from Iraq.  She said this with such implied fear you would think she was a native Iraqi.  I wrote back and told her that since we had only begun this crap because Hussein made Old Bush look bad and it had never been about 9/11 or Bin Laden I thought it was probably time to bring our boys and girls home.  Can open…worms everywhere!  Did I know that Obama was a Muslim?  Did I know that the pastor of the Baptist Church he attended preached racial superiority? (Now wait is he Muslim or Baptist?)…that question went unanswered.  Did I know that his church had sent people to the Middle East? I just had to ask her if her church had ever sent missionaries to Africa, Israel, or someplace that might be taken out of context in a political contest?  Was I aware of his middle name?  Was she aware he didn’t name himself? and on and on and when Obama won I thought finally it’s over.  The first email told me how our current recession eas Obama’s fault..people are so afraid of the coming tax changes that they aren’t spending money.  But today…I got an email explaining why democracy can’t last.  I am dead serious.  She had phases listed and swore that we were currently in a phase of abundance that will be followed by a phase of dictatorship.  There was a grim God Help Us at the end.

Hell yes God help us.  If what we’re going through right now is abundance we need help!  I’m clipping freaking coupons for the first time in… ever!! I’m budgeting! BUDGETING!! The worst part of it is it looks like this is just the beginning and it started (Hold your knickers, Cuz) about a year ago!  The market fall really hurt us, but honey that was good ol’ “W”. I’m terrified of what other damage he can do in th next 48 days!  I may have to go back to work,  or else people may have to start paying back all the money that we’ve lent them and that won’t happen because they don’t have it either. 

It’s time for everyone to get their stinking heads out of the sand and begin to realize that like it or not we as a nation and as a world are in trouble.  At this point, it is much more about setting things right than placing blame (but we know who did this).  Now we all must suffer as our parents and grandparents did to return to the affluence we have known.  Plus we have the added burden of reducing green house gasses and our carbon footprints so that there will be something left for our own children and grandchildren.  Drill, Baby Drill= Kill Baby Kill.  Just changing our oil supply is no longer enough.

Okay, I’m coming down off my soap box now.  That cousin of mine gets me wound up tighter than a nun’s cootch.  I’m not going to change her, just like she’s not she’s not going to save me.  I do wish I could save the wee ones though.  Oh well, I’m just going to follow the serenity prayer…change the things I can, accept the things I can’t change, block the emails of idiots….I’m paraphrasing. 

Iam going to try (withou too much anger) to tell you the kind of crap this dipshit is spreading.
