Becoming Democrat

My father worked for Chevron Pipeline as long as I remember.  He was a middle class American.  He served in the  Armed Forces in World War II.  He was also a Democrat.  I knew he was a democrat as well as I knew my mother was a democrat.  Neither was terribly vocal about it.  Though I do remember my father saying:  "The Republican party is for the rich getting richer.  The Democrats are for the working class American."  Thus I became a democrat by name.  Recently I watched a documentary by Michael Moore titled:  "Capitalism: A Love Story"  It rang truth to my soul and that is when I realized I was a democrat by heart.  I am sorry, but I can not listen to Glen Beck.  He irks my inner being. As does Rush Limbaugh and the Tea Party movement.   I am fully aware that Michael Moore has the same effect on others.  I have decided to dedicate the next few days of blogging to my own personal viewpoints on political topics.  You will discover why I am doing this on the last day of my political soap box.   Tomorrow I choose to discuss abortion.

  1. You do my heart good! President Faust was a democrat too. I remember he once said he was the only one in the presidency to be. My sister has become extremely vocal since she was naturalized... democrat. My mother too. I don't like to vote for a party and I think it's time politicians start thinking more in terms of COUNTRY and PEOPLE rather than in terms of PARTY. The only ones having a party is them... working America is tired of paying for everything and getting nothing in return... I can't stand Glen Beck either. I think he's a nut job! LOVE YOU!

  3. You never cease to amaze me! I don't think, even in the eternities, I will be able to figure out what makes you tick! That's what makes me love you so much.

    Wish I'd've had your spunk today when I was in the barber shop. I just let the barber spin me his right-wing Republican dribble -- didn't dare say much -- after all he had the scissors. To each his own.

    Love, Scott
