Lessons from the 2012 election
some people don't learn
My daughter has two friends who put up pictures on their FB celebrating BO's win.
One is Jewish. She even went so far as to make a wallpaper with pictures of the guy. She's in one picture with a big, fat grin holding a Forward! sign.
My daughter asked what's wrong with her? She's Jewish doesn't she understand....? I said Liberal first, Jewish second. No, American Jews thinks being liberal is being Jewish. And I suspect that more than a few don't like the Christian aspects that appear in the republican side.
The other is black and Catholic. Crazy excited would describe her reaction to his win. My answer to this? She voted based on race. She converted from Baptist a few years ago and is quite proud of her preacher grandfather. I don't question her desire or reason to convert but seems to me you take the whole package when you convert in this day and age. It's not like she didn't know when she joined the Catholic church what she was joining. It seems to me that race trumped faith.
