Although, I too, am baffled as to even the big picture "whys" about "the I word," lately. I know I'm a patriot, the radio stations I listen to have always been helpful to what is Right with the world; and my husband is not a vigilante.
I still am grateful that our President is our President. When I think of what he goes through on a daily basis and the decisions he's had to make so far....I think he's done an excellent job....except for this ONE issue ;-)
Our economy is strong, our lives are pretty safe, our taxes are pretty low, and we weathered quite a bit in 6 years as a Nation. You don't do all that without great leadership....and good 'ol fashion faith in "The Big Guy" guiding you.
Stepping down from my soapbox now ;-)
I described it as mass hysteria, being fed by the media, and just said I'd had a belly full of the nonsense. Boy did I drive em nuts. But I didn't back down, and there were even a few who said they realized what I was saying was right. I even got a freepmail from one lady who thanked me for standing up for the President. Made me feel good, I can tell you!
