There Are No Words

Okay...maybe there are a few words. =)

I know that there are people who almost worship "The One" but I guess I've been a little sheltered from their ramblings. Thank goodness for Entrecard. :) Someone 'dropped' their card on my site so I went to look at theirs ... though I knew what I was in for considering the title "My Obama Inspired Blog."

Now, I could start one of those but it wouldn't exactly be flattering.

Is it mean to make fun of this person? I don't *want* to be mean but I just laughed the whole time I browsed her blog. I swear people like this think "The One" is going to solve all of their problems. I suppose it's people like this who fall into cults.

"When I heard about it this afternoon I was absolutely elated! Of all the possible people that could have been named for this honor and for President-Elect Obama to actually receive this is just absolutely amazing! He truly deserves it for all that he has accomplished and for the historical moment he has provided this great country. If Mr. Obama gets this honor this year - just imagine what kind of accolades he will receive over the next 8 years as he helps to rebuild this country and restore our good name around the world!"

(Emphasis mine) Wow...well, you know the oceans are supposed to lower and the world is supposed to love us now.

What is this person going to do when all the promises "The One" made don't come to fruition? Will she see the error in her ways for putting so much hope and faith in one politician? Or, as a cult follower, will she make excuses?

I've never worshiped Bush. I did not vote for him in 2000 but did in 2004. I haven't made excuses for him when he's screwed up ... as he has especially recently. But I certainly never put my future happiness in his presidency.

Are there really people who are so weak as to get this excited over one man? I got excited about Palin (and I still luv the woman ... in a heterosexual, non cultish way) but never believed (nor do I believe now) that she was the answer to all my problems.

Bobo gave her his award of the week and it freaked her out ... I guess her delicate little socialism loving soul can't take a joke. Which is typical of most liberals I know. If she's going to blog on the big world wide web she better grow some thicker skin. Her tantrum rant against Bobo was funny and rude. "wahhh...bobo hurt my feelings so I'm going ignore him and deny his entre card ad request." Why doesn't she go pout in the corner while she's at it. Bobo has wonderful conversations with open minded liberals all the time. He also gives great links to liberals who submit to his carnivals. He has extreme ideas but that's what makes him interesting!

Her use of the term "neo - con" is especially funny. I don't think she even knows what the term means though she uses it loosely. I don't even know what it means. I think it means different things to different people and I've heard that it has an anti-semetic bent to it. If it means "new" conservative then I guess that is me. I used to be an empty headed unthinking liberal like Sarah. But I grew up.

I have no faith that we can all hold hands, sing Kumbaya, and solve the world's problems. I have no faith that government actually works for us, though that is the ideal.

So, am I picking on her? Maybe. I read through her blog and just felt like smacking her upside the head and yelling "are you freaking serious?" Think for yourself woman!
