Bush Makes Pick

I just got online to check my mail and I saw that MSN had listed Bush's pick for Supreme Court even though his formal announcement is not planned to take place until 9 or so.

This might prevent you all from continuing to read my blog, but I am going to say it anyway...

(I hope I don't offend anyone, but I feel that I need to speak my mind.)

Heaven help us that Bush has selected a CONSERVATIVE to the court. I understand why he did....it's his views and he wants someone who sees eye to eye with him. However, I would like to see a balanced court, no matter who is president.

QUOTE FROM MSN ARTICLE: "He [Roberts] co-wrote a brief in 1990 that suggested the Supreme Court overturn Roe v. Wade..."

Let's just say that I am very afraid. Afraid of what the future will hold. I believe in the right to choose...not a choice I would make personally, but I support to right for a person to choose. Okay, so I am a liberal. I am not ashamed...I get on my soap box proudly. I have realized that I am one liberal in a world of non-liberals in this area, but I can't help it. I sport my HRC member/supporter sticker on my car and YES, I still have the Kerry-Edwards sticker in my back window. I am not a straight ticket democrat, but I am a LIBERAL.

I am not UN AMERICAN...I support our president AND I proudly support our troops.

I am sure that this decision will make Jerry Falwell very happy. He's planning a celebration as we speak, I'm sure. Falwell and his "supporters" scare me. The thought that Disney World is not appropriate for children because they hire members of the gay community and have activities and parades for the gay community is absurd. That is just one of the many "insightful" thoughts that has come out of his mouth. I am sure that he believes that homosexuality is an contagious disease that could taint our children. When I hear him speak, I don't know which emotion is the strongest...ANGER, FEAR, or SADNESS. If this isn't enough to evoke emotion, here's a quote of Falwell's that I just found on the 'net. "The feminist agenda is not about equal rights for women. It is about a socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism, and become lesbians." SCARY STUFF, HUH?

I am a Christian and I am a firm believer that "loving all God's creatures" is paramount. I believe that using faith to create hate, terror, and intolerance is WRONG.

Okay, so I'll get off my soap box for now....but just keep in mind...Just because people have different views on certain things does not mean that they can't respect and befriend one another. I am a believer in equal rights for all...not just a select few or the "chosen ones". If that's being liberal, then so be it.

I hope I haven't offended anyone. Have a great evening.
