Politics, Cheating, and Dogs....

With all of the political talk these days it's easy to become very opinionated and passionate about your stance on things. I, for one, have always been opinionated and passionate, so for me, this is old hat! LOL! Watch out! My mouth is ready to run!

The fact that McCain chose a woman to help run our country who has no foreign policy experience, no military understanding, is pro life, and has only run a state of 9,000 people, isn't what has me in an uproar. Obama's lack of any real experience, and I use that term loosely, doesn't have me very concerned, either. If it were up to me, neither one would be elected. At least Hilary is married to a husband who has a proven track record of running the country and doing it well. He might not have been able to keep his trouser snake in his pants, but I'm  not judging a morality contest here - I'm looking for who is going to make the best President of the United States - the highest honor. Who will hold our lives in their hands?

This is a scary prospect, and one that I do not choose to ramble about at this moment - I just wanted to get your blood pumping. Did you read the latest military article about deployments? According to the article, long deployments are causing, and again, a term I use loosely, husband and wives to cheat.

What???

That's right - apparently it is too difficult for men and women to remain faithful when women wear low cut blouses and flaunt their jewels all over town. And the men, how dare they wear tight t-shirts and flaunt their muscles.

Foolish, right?

What are we? Animals? Can men and women no longer control themselves or their reactions to attractive people? Aren't these same attractive people around when your husband or wife isn't deployed? Was it your deployed spouses fault that they went overseas or was it your own fault, those of you who fall into this animalistic cateogry, that you couldn't uphold your vows? Please....give me a break!

I agree with the military on this one - the fault is not of the military - Sure, deployments are far too long and there are far too many - I'm not saying that I agree with the war. But I am saying that if a person is going to cheat it is who they are - it is part of their moral fiber. It's horse shit that they are doing it because a loved one is sent away.

Now is the time to pull together - as a family, and as a unit. Your loved one that is overseas is not there by choice, typically, they are there as governed by our military system. The military did not send them there to have a good time or find a little honey to shack up with - they sent them there to fight for our country. How selfish do you have to be to spend your time here, in the comfort of your home, surrounded by your family and friends, to cheat because you are what? Lonely, sad, scared, tired of being a single parent? How do you think they feel in Iraq and Afghanistan? They are lonely, and honey, you don't even know scared until you are sitting amongst live fire being thrown a few hundred yards away.

Our country, our morals, our lives, seem to be going to the dogs. Don't you think we should choose our leaders more carefully - not by their s*x or their ability to look cute on TV, but on their ability to lead us into a peaceful, united, front with other countries. To lead our educational and medical systems into finely tuned musicals. And shape up, for God's sake! Exercise, be kind, share happiness and peace! Don't cheat on your spouse - get divorced if you must, but do not make yourself the same slimey sludge that you see in others (and yes, in our political role models, too). Be proud of who you are. Be proud to be an American. Be proud to be alive and well.
