I'M RUNNING OUT OF FAITH. BE CAREFUL WHO YOU TELL.

• I moved to Arkansas just in time to see it turn right-wing, tea-bagging, Republican. Lucky me. We got a state legislature brought back from the Dark Ages. In my district, Republicans elected a U.S. representative who represents no one but the rich, and can't seem to understand that 1910 is in the past. Twice he has suggesting starting a war. Now he wants to be a U.S. Senator. I can't see how he will win, but than, this is the new Arkansas. Next to last in education, where one in four children go to sleep hungry at night, and where most whites believe the civil war was not lost by the south. I'm running out of faith.
• I thought Obama would do a much better job than he has. I really thought we were poised to move forward. What we got is a health-care system no one can understand; 24 hour spying on, guess who, us; rigorous prosecution of anyone who dares to tell the truth about what the government is doing; a move from occupational war to remote war; backing completely way from any type of gun control; and doing nothing to change the tide from the rich getting richer and the poor just plain getting it. To say I lost my faith in Obama would be a dramatic understatement. I'm holding on to the belief that he is much better than Romney would have been, but after having met him three times, the fourth he wouldn't enjoy. I'd probably be arrested for kicking him in the ass.
• Where are all these right-wing Christians coming from? I can't believe their parents were so bad at potty training. These people are still dumping on everything and everyone.  I didn't think so many people could be so dumb so much of the time. They elect people who are just going to crush them. Politics and religion equals a bunch of morons who believe they know about Christ and Christianity. Christ wouldn't put up with these people for 15 seconds. He, or she, would probably turn Buddhist. I'm losing my faith. I need to be careful who I tell. They'll think I'm a Muslim.
