I forgot the most important thing - and that was to say I'm certainly not honest 100% of the time. Although that is what I aim for. Don't think anyone can be honest 100% of the time, but why not try to be anyway? We might surprise ourselves. Love. Oops!

Don’t think anyone can be honest 100% of the time, but why not try to be anyway? We might surprise ourselves.

Love.

It is the Republicans, who I am (unfortunately) convinced hate America and especially Americans, ALL Americans who are not Republicans. Or maybe if they are Republican, they have to be rich. I'm not sure about that. Maybe I'm losing my marbles. But I am not a kid and I have NEVER seen ANYTHING like what we have now in Congress. I have NEVER seen or heard Republicans acting/talking as they now do. And I hope it changes soon and never reoccurs. I would swear in court that Obama is not un-American. He is the most caring president we have had since President Clinton was in office. He cares about America, Americans (ALL Americans, not only rich ones) and he cares about our relationship with the rest of the world and about individuals who are not American, because he is a real - that's REAL- Christian. That's what Christians are supposed to do. If Republicans have a problem with that, that says something about them or about the individual Republican who has that problem. Lying is something else Christ doesn't want us to do because God and He cannot - I repeat - cannot lie, and cannot look the other way when we lie. I have practiced "rigorous honesty" (there are some of you who know what I'm talking about) for a few years now, and - weird!- the more you practice being honest, the easier it is to be honest and the harder it is to lie! I'm serious! Try it! Love to all. I have recently begun believing that there ARE anti-American members of Congress and not one of them is Democratic or Independent as far as I can tell.

She says she wants to subpoena Democrats, including the President of the United States, for "un-American" activities. That's f-ing nuts, not to mention entirely unproductive when we're facing such a horrible economy. Her words don’t sound crazy?
