One wonderful thing about living in the U.S.A. is we do still have freedom to talk or go anywhere we choose.

I have been appalled at what has been happening with the liberals. What happened to Sarah Huckabee in Lexington was totally out of line. Maybe the baker should have made the cake for the gay wedding but it was wrong to ruin him financially because he had religious issues with it. The women I travelled with for the Women's March were well organized. No Trump bashing, don't engage with agitators, and don't leave a mess. We were high fiving the police and thanking them for keeping the order. Not all groups operated by the same standard but considering the size of the march, there were minimal problems. The recent happenings in DC is mob mentality. It was the final straw. That is when I finally made the switch and I'm not the only one.

They "pray diligently over elections and political matters".......Yeah, like that's ever made a difference.......in other words, the "other women of America" are ineffectual, deluded doormats...exactly where the Patriarchy wants you.

Not every woman is going to be politically active. Some of them have different priorities or perhaps they are busy taking care of a family. Perhaps they are active in their churches. Praying is a lot and so is voting. They are still productive when taking care of business in their own circle. This doesn't make them ineffectual, deluded doormats.

I don't have to defend Trump. He's a big boy and has more money than I do. He's is uncouth, doesn't worry about political correctness and shoots off his mouth. That's a Gemini Trait. Leo Rising makes him a tad bit of a show-off and egotistical. He has managed to keep his zipper closed or at least is more discreet than Clinton. Trump is not the only one who like to haul out insults. Perhaps you can send him a resume and he'll give you a place in his cabinet. You would fit right in.

Praying is not being "productive"......To think so is delusion.......Praying is what people do so they can tell themselves they did something, to make themselves feel better without putting out any effort, any risk, any action........

Well, you just outed yourself as deluded.......lol.....Astrology? I have noted your tendencies toward Magical thinking for years now, but to defend Trump with planetary placement has got to be the most goofy.....

The "silent majority" seems to be silent no more. Too bad "the sleeping giant" didn't wake up a couple of decades ago, but better late than never.

Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

First a teeny question: Is that you in the photo you have posted. Were you getting someone's autograph? She sure looks like you... same hair colour/cut and same glasses!

Now to the meat of the issue on the table. After doing a lot of reading I've come to the conclusion that women basically all want the same things but the packaging may be a little different - physical respect, equal pay for equal work, healthcare that really works etc. These are all issues that women can work to find common ground. Abortion seems to be the one stumbling block to finding agreement. So ... why not work to find agreement on everything else and deal with them together. The abortion issue is not going to go away, so it's time to cool the jets on both sides and deal with it calmly and cooly. It is possible to find common ground even on that if you really want to have agreement.

You consider yourself an expert on what prayer is or isn't when you have no spiritual inclinations whatsoever. Maybe you should go to church or take a trip to the clue factory instead of making medications and shock treatment your higher power.

Do you get all your exercise jumping to conclusions?......I am well acquainted with what prayer is and have spent lots of time in churches.....many churches. medications? Sounds like you're the one who needs a trip to the clue factory.......and shock treatment? More of your New Age Woo Woo ?

So you spend lots of time in churches but still have no clue about spirituality. That does seem to be a counterproductive use of your time.

I know nothing about spirituality?.......What, because you think spirituality requires magical thinking?......Because I don't fit into your narrow parameters?........You seem to think Spirituality is a spectator sport and can only be had inside buildings that have been approved by the IRS as a tax break....or on an AA poster......Sad.

Spirituality doesn't mean mocking someone else's path. Why do you have the need to mock people who pray. What do you have the need to mock people with magickal thinking? Magick is affirmation and visualizes. What do you affirm and what is your vision If you don't think Spirituality can be found in a Church, why do you go to church. Why do you have a need to mock people in AA? Perhaps you sit on a hilltop by yourself and ridicule everyone around your in order to exalt what you perceive as a superior status.

What did the Peoples Climate Change March have to do with protesting about any of the political parties especially when folks from both parties participated in the March. In the Charlottesville Protest, which side was GOP and which side was Demos. Who were the bikers protesting in Ride to the Wall? What do you define as "so much time?" When people are protesting about the pipelines, eminent domain and property rights - when both parties have concerns about their property, which party prevails. Is it only the democrats who are concerned about mass incarceration or the drug crisis in WV. Did you try to buy tokens to get on to “Soul Train!”

If you actually read my posts instead of leaping to your assumptions, you would see that I was not mocking people who pray, but was disagreeing with the stated opinion of the blog, that praying is an activity that makes a difference in political outcomes.....that praying is a way to be "engaged" that "diligent prayer" is political action , shows "engagement" and is a way of speaking up. The blog also states that when women stay home, praying and staying silent is exercising the better aspects of their gender..... I think that's exactly what the Patriarchy hopes women do.....shut up and pray like a good woman should.....

And by the way, I saw you being respectful in a blog mocking the Hindu religion..........then, when several men mocked it, you switched and doubled down on the mocking......Interesting, isn't it, that several of those who were mocking someone else's Religion, have roasted me for what mocking theirs......Liszt even told me that I had no Human Decency because I made a joke about his religion.......The hypocrisy is mind-boggling...

So what do you know about me. I marched in the People's Climate Change March with the Sierra Club. How is that protesting against one or the other political party when people from both sides were participating. You need to get your bum out of the window. You are clueless.
