JUST FACTS AS FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Wait...I'm confused...
Greetings. I'm confused.....
* If you grow up in Hawaii, raised by your grandparents, you're
"exotic, different."
* If you grow up in Alaska eating moose burgers, you're a
quintessential American story.
* If your name is Barack, you're a radical, unpatriotic Muslim.
* If you name your kids Willow, Trig and Track, you're a
maverick.
* If you graduate from Harvard law School, you are unstable.
* If you attend 5 different small colleges before graduating,
you're well grounded.
* If you spend 3 years as a brilliant community organizer,
become the first black President of the Harvard Law Review, create a
voter registration drive that registers 150,000 new voters, spend 12
years as a Constitutional Law professor, spend 8 years as a State
Senator representing a district with over 750,000 people, become
chairman of the state Senate's Health and Human Services committee,
spend 4 years in the United States Senate representing a state of 13
million people while sponsoring 131 bills and serving on the Foreign
Affairs, Environment and Public Works and Veteran's Affairs
committees, you don't have any real leadership experience.
* If your total resume is: local weather girl, 4 years on the
city council and 6 years as the mayor of a town with less than 7,000
people, 20 months as the governor of a state with only 650,000 people,
then you're qualified to become the country's second highest ranking
executive.
* If you have been married to the same woman for 19 years while
raising 2 beautiful daughters, all within Protestant churches, you're
not a real Christian.
* If you cheated on your first wife with a rich heiress, and
left your disfigured wife and married the heiress the next month, you're
a Christian.
* If you teach responsible, age appropriate sex education,
including the proper use of birth control, you are eroding the fiber of
society.
* If, while governor, you staunchly advocate abstinence only,
with no other option in sex education in your state's school system,
while your unwed teen daughter ends up pregnant, you're very
responsible.
* If your wife is a Harvard graduate lawyer who gave up a
position in a prestigious law firm to work for the betterment of her
inner city community, then gave that up to raise a family, your family's
values don't represent America's.
* If you're husband is nicknamed "First Dude", with at least
one DWI conviction and no college education, who didn't register to vote
until age 25 and once was a member of a group that advocated the
secession of Alaska from the USA, your family is extremely admirable.
OK, *much* clearer now.
