When Did Arab and Muslim Become Dirty Words?

EXACTLY!! OMG! No, OM freaking G!!!!


That is exactly what I’ve been thinking and wanting to say, but, couldn’t quite put into words when my house full of in-laws gets to going off on Obama. I think I just become overwhelmed at their overbearing, “Obama – O-sama!” With looks on their faces like, See? Now do you see?

NO! I don’t fucking see!

Holy crap – one of my in-laws, who shall remain nameless, as I do love her, actually said this: “Obama doesn’t deserve to be president just because of his name alone!”

Whoa! Whoa Nelly! I shook my head and explained to her how unbelievably racist that was. She did give in a little bit, but, oh my!

The ugliness that is coming out of both sides on this whole thing is so disheartening. (I mean, heck! I just said the ‘F’ word on my own blog! I don’t know that I ‘never’ do that, but, if I do, it’s rare.)

This is just definitely an amazing election, no matter which way you slice it. In my own life, when I’m going through the ringer, things get really ugly at the end. Ooooh, sometimes they get really ugly! And then – out come the rainbows!!

I’m hoping and praying for some rainbows for our country. And this may sound “hippie-pie-in-the-sky” but, I feel something big and something good coming.

How could it not? After an amazingly historical election like this?

I’m just glad it’s almost over. I mean, to think that we’ve regressed to a time where it’s all well and good to say, “He’s a Muslim” like it’s the ugliest thing one could be….whoa…..
