Driven Mad on My Anniversary

Forty-seven years ago Viola May Trotter married Jack Bradford Larson Jr. Today we are going somewhere, Napa Valley, the Bay Area? and have a nice day. But first I am being driven mad by the media's hate-filled focus on Sarah Palin. I am linking to two very different and very good postings about her and the media.

The first is Rev. Kim's Saddened at Called to be the Pastor's Wife and the Pastor.

Rev. Kim writes among other things:

"I'm saddened that smart, accomplished people are presuming that this woman has nothing to offer her country and this country's women, simply because of the views she holds and the party she represents.

I'm saddened that smart, accomplished people who call for diversity of thought and belief on a wide range of issues only seem to welcome such diversity of thought and belief when it aligns with their own."

The other is on the Anchoress, entitled "Sarah & Bristol Meltdown the Haters."

The Anchoress' words include:

"They’re in trouble over there. [forums of the far-left], They’re in serious trouble of the mind, and trouble of the heart and trouble of the soul. They are so paranoid, and so full of hate, at this point, that they are clinging to an insane idea - one that betrays a sort of soul-sickness that leaves me feeling both incredulous and chilled.

How much do you have to love your hate in order to surrender your reason, and your humanity, to it?"

It is also helpful to go to Get Religion . Org and read some of their articles.
