Thank you my friends

A few months ago I had a rather disturbing realization, you might call it an epiphany.

All my life I believed that I was the all American conservative type person with my basic beliefs in God and country.

I was watching the news and something was said that really ticked me off. Suddenly, this sinking feeling came over me, no wonder I never fits in with my parents or my sisters. I am a LIBERAL.
Don't get me wrong I love my family, but we never quit got along peacefully. As long as we didn't talk politics we got along okay.

All of this started coming clear when I was visiting, helping my sisters takes care of Mom who was quit ill. We were talking about the state of our country, THEY were saying how sorry they felt for poor President Bush, because everybody was giving him such a bad time, how he deserved our support. (First clue should have been, I never use that title, he doesn't deserve my respect)

I sat up very tall and proud and said as clearly as I could," I didn't vote for that bastard in the election stole, and I didn't vote for him last time. That is All I'm going to say." Let us just say things got really quiet.

You would think that might have tipped me off, that I might possibly be a liberal. No, not me, stubborn, did you know my dad was born in Missouri, my step father (I hate that word) my Dad was born in Arkansas, and my mom was born in Oklahoma, and that makes for a very stubborn being.

Anyway, after my epiphany, I told CamiKaos that I just discovered that I was a Liberal. That child laughed at me and said."Yes mom, are you just figuring that out?"

I guess I was the only one who was shocked.

So thank you my friends, for putting up with this poor lost liberal who has taken 57 years to figure herself out. I'm still me, still crazy as ever,but a little more self aware .
