Re: Ohhh SBP....
I'm just saying that Santorum isn't the problem, regardless of what was brought up in the thread.
I assume you're refering to my last sentence. I don't think Heather intended for this board to read those comments, no. But I meant to imply that I also don't think she cares as much about what the Bumpies think of her and her opinion of them.

This as good a place as any, but until I posted on this board I always thought of myself as a commie pinko but there are many times that I feel like a moderate or even a conservative while perusing PCE and reading responses. It's kind of like bizarro-land for me that may or may not give me the occasional political identity crisis.
Blasphemy! How can people on The Bump be normal?!
J/k, when I was on The Knot, people talked about the scary/crazy people on The Nest all the time. Yes, people on The Knot talked about how scary it was here.

Thank you! I might end up wearing the same seven things but I'm gonna give it a shot.

Pro-choice does not equal pro-abortion. You can be pro-life and still be pro-choice. I know a lot of people who would never have an abortion, ever. It would be absolutely repulsive to them. But they also don't believe that their views should be inforced on everyone. But I don't think people are saying that just because you're pro-life you hate black people and the gays and everyone else. When you add it to being anti-gay, anti-immigration, etc...well then, people start to see a pattern.
ETA: You in the general term of the Republican party. Not you in particular.
I just ugly cried in my office about something and i swear that hippo picture just saved my lyfe. Cant.stop.laughing
Thank you for that.
For a pro-life person, abortion is murder. So what you're positing above is that someone who is opposed to murder should be content to not commit it themselves, and should not work to outlaw it, lest they step on pro-murder folks toes. I disagree. And I don't think advocating that abortion should be outlawed is hateful or discriminatory in any way. It's a legitimate viewpoint. Not one I subscribe to, but one I can understand and respect.
But understanding and respect isn't really en vogue around here, is it?

I am so confused. What just happened in here. I thought this was about how Ronald Reagan wasn't loved by both parties.
*Ain't nobody got time for bronchitis.*
The post references in this thread is chockabock full of some "if you vote republican or are a member of the republican party, you are a woman hating, black people fearing, gay bashing douchebag who disgust open minded, kind, democrats who just want the world to be a better place.
Of course, we republicans/conservatives who post here shouldn't be offended by such talk nor worry our pretty little heads. Dems know what's best for women and we should just accept that.

Ditto. All I saw was hippocritical. I kinda lost focus after that
you aren't the only one. Just nobody tell my mom I would consider voting R for the right candidate. She might disown me.
My Goodness...another food blog. Featuring: Macarons from a old post with a photo taken by my mom for a break from my crappy food photos!
I for one would love to see this thread go from these few precious embers into a roaring all-consuming hellfire for the ages.
Lets all cross our fingers that BQ or Toledo decide to stop censoring themselves then!
Find me here instead!
Hopefully you worded that right, or it will be too much of a bother.
