An Email I received...

*Note- This was an email I received from a very good friend who has of late turned to the Democratic party. I do not hold it against her because she has her reasons, and she is not as liberal as this email. I just thought I would comment on some things because some people do actually believe in all this. Scary.*

1) We get stem cell research and the best beaches. We get the Statue of Liberty. You get Dollywood- I have a pro-life stance on abortion as long as they can assure me that there will not be "back alley abortions" happening and thus ruining the lives of those mothers even further. Stem cells don't only come from aborted babies and they can't argue with me on that, I've taken a human anatomy class.
- They get a landmark that people can't even fully utilize anymore. And by the way, I enjoy Dollywood.

2)Additionally, 38% of those in the Red states believe Jonah
> was actually swallowed by a whale, 62% believe life is
> sacred unless we're discussing the war, the death
> penalty or gun laws, 44% say that evolution is only a
> theory, 53% that Saddam was involved in 9/11 and 61% of you

- Life is sacred, and we don't believe soldiers lives arent sacred. It is their choice whether or not to join the armed forces, they know their sacrifice. This is making it seem like being in the armed forces is suicide.

- Gun laws are in place because of the 2nd amendment. I agree in that maybe normal households shouldnt be able to own an AK-47, but I have a right to defend my home when armed robbers break in. And by the way, if someone is crazy enough to break into a home to take things, I should be "crazy" enough to believe that they're armed and dangerous.

-Based on the fact that this person writing this message called people "crazy bastards" I do believe I have higher morals than that "leftie". I don't think that I have ever accused someone of having lower morals, but when you know something is wrong, you should fight against it, not make an excuse for it.


Just thought you would like to know my stance on this email. I may not have something to say for everything, but I did put my thoughts on those issues that hit me wrong.

Happy Voting Day!
