Our nation divided
Yes, it's really something how divided our nation has become especially when you consider how united we were after 9/11.
How to deal with your hubby? I do feel for you.
My brother, who voted for Bush twice, purposely avoids talking to me about this stuff until he has the smallest tidbit of information that leans his way.
He asked me the other day if I heard about the notes left behind by the insurgency about how it's becoming more difficult to get the material to keep up with the bombings. No, I hadn't heard of it but even if I had, what does that have to do with anything? Soldiers are still dying and we're still getting bombed.
He thinks that Bush is showing the world how tough we are but he ignores all the other facts and doesn't see the harm it's doing.
I honestly don't get him.
We are complete opposites and yet amazingly, we don't fight. I think it's because we always stick to the issues and we always back our opinions up with facts. Plus, he shuts up when he knows he's wrong, which does help.
How are we different? He's a conservative and I'm liberal, he's a die-heart Republican whereas I think the hearts have died in the Republicans. He's a born-again Christian and I have a hard time believing in God.
Here's the irony in all this. I am extremely honest but he isn't. For example, there was a certain pump at a certain gas station that had been accidently programmed to charge a dollar less for gas. He calls me and tells me how he filled up his motorcycle and that I should take a ride down there. I told him, I couldn't. It's too dishonest for me. He gave the famous teenage answer of 'everyone else is doing it'. Everyone except me, that is. I can't rip someone off like that.
That is one example but stuff like that has been going on all our lives. I'm always the honest one and he isn't. I guess he is the typical Republican (lol).
