I would like to apologize for posting another forwarded e-mail. The reasoning is two-fold. 1) As most of you know I am recovering from being ill, so my experiences have been limited to my computer. 2) Although I am recovering, I have still managed to be frustrated by the Presidential election which probably will be my focus until November. Yes, of course, I would like to have a less shallow life, but the truth is this is the best I have!
I seem to be a little confused.
Let me see if I have this straight……
If you grow up in Hawaii, raised by your grandparents, you're "exotic, different."
Grow up in Alaska eating mooseburgers -- 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.
Graduate from Harvard law School and you are unstable.
Attend five different small colleges before graduating, you're "well-grounded."
If you spend three 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 four 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 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 two 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 following month, you're a good Christian.
If you favor responsible sex education, including age-appropriate information on birth control, you are eroding the fiber of society.
If, while governor, you staunchly advocate abstinence-only, recommending no other option in sex education in your state's school system, while your unwed teen daughter ends up pregnant, you're strengthening American society.
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 jibe with America's family values.
If your 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 admirable.
Okay, I think I have it figured out now.
