I have a choir mate, nice lady, proud to be a liberal Democrat so she says.
The other day she says “I got my Hillary bumper sticker the other day.”
I just peered at her.
She held up her hand to stop what she thought would be my protests....”It isn’t on the car just yet.”
“She allowed those four Americans to be killed in Benghazi,” I commented, quietly.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about and I don’t want to know.” Yes, she said that. Liberals want to feel good about what they believe so don’t go telling them the truth.
“Diane, you always come to me when you want information. I am a news junkee and know way more about these sorts of things than most folks. I’m not necessarily proud of my addiction and I don’t think it makes me better than anyone else. But come on, give me credit for knowing stuff, LISTEN TO ME ABOUT THESE THINGS!”
So I gave her an example, like the Repubs should do to American only they don’t have a clue.
“Suppose someone came to you and said the following: ‘I just met Father Joe and what a wonderful guy. You are so lucky to have him as Pastor of your church.”
Now Diane despises Father Joe and frankly, in the past, he’s had issues, till the point when the Pastoral council wrote the Bishop to throw him out. Father Joe survived it but Diane does not like him, she knows the sins he made in the past....yes Father Joe needed some help from his Lord to get it right. I think he has Tourette’s syndrome but never mind, it isn’t about him.
“How would you feel at this adulation of Father Joe when you know the truth?”
Diane just sat and pondered.
“You’d try to correct the record, I’m thinking. Which is what I’m doing with Hillary. Just because you didn’t know about the four Americans left to die at Benghazi does not mean it didn’t happen. Just because a new parishioner does not know about Father Joe’s history does not mean it didn’t happen. be an informed voter for God’s sake!”
Which is why she hasn’t put the Hillary thing on her car and my goal from now on is to present my arguments as done above.
We shall see.
God has a plan for me and I’m just following along.
BTW, to your Catholics, below link to my review of “Rediscovering Catholicism”. The book changed my life.

She is a Dem and will vote whichever way the Party tells her. She wants to be a good person and in her religion that means voting Dem.
Happy New Year
God has a plan for me and I’m just following along.

You are an inspiration, but it is going to be hard to be force-fed Hillary from now to eternity.
Great job!
So many times I have not been able to get past that “...and I don’t want to know.” line.
What if the person is a stranger?
