Hi there. You know me from LJ...I just keep these things separate. Thought I'd add you as this is where I found you first (Liberal Politics group) and didn't get around to it before.

That comic's from Arizona...Tucson, actually, and I think Pima County was one of the few with a majority voting for Kerry. But that's how most people here feel - yay religion and yay Bush. It shouldn't be that surprising. There are two kinds of religious people. The people that are smart enough and strong enough to be active participants in their faith (those that question and grow from it) and the other kind - the sheep that blindly follow the church because of many reasons (they're told to by family, they think it's the "thing to do", they don't know any better, etc.). I'm not saying religion's bad, but that second group is exactly the group that got Dubya re-elected. That's what he went for. It's the sheep that don't know any better - the ones who would follow their leader off a cliff because of the mythical green pastures that he's been chasing and because they don't know any better. Unfortunately, there are apparently over 50 million of these morons living in our country.

I'm still shellshocked, which is why I haven't been posting much about the election. I just don't know what to say. I'm ashamed of my country's voters and of the opinion that other nations now have of the United States. I keep wanting to wake up from this bad dream.
