Name: (Re)Bekah
State: Wisconsin
Metro: Madison
Birthday: 3/24/1983
Interests: I am from a small town in Wisconsin where expected stereotypes are bred. I root for the Packers and Carnivals, Camping and Fishing are memorable pastimes. Drinking Miller Lite is a to-do around a summer bonfire and I rebel against being a Cheddar Cheesehead, I'd prefer Mozzarella please. Brats are not annoying children but yummy with sauerkraut. But I am not all about small town living; I do enjoy other fine things that I think define who I am. I love traveling, especially road trips. My favorite cities are San Francisco, Vancouver, Seattle, Chicago and Honolulu. My musical salvation lies in Linkin Park, but also 80s, Country and everything in between. I love Movies (my 2 favorite being Jurassic Park and Nightmare Before Christmas) and Karaoke Nights. I equate beautiful to Marilyn Monroe and Shades of Blue complete me and I daydream to escape my reality. I am a Liberal Christian who loves compassion and dislikes those who are Small-Minded. {{Continue in Expertise}}
Expertise: Thunderstorm are relaxation and Animals the best medication; especially my cat, Frog and I wish to own a Chihuahua and Chocolate Labrador. I love to drink Sobe Green Tea and collect the Lids and on any given night, you can find me chugging Skim Milk. My favorite alcoholic beverage would include a lil' Captain and baseball (Red Sox) is the greatest sport alive. I have vast amounts of Useful and Useless information and excel at Entertainment Trivia (sad!). I wish I could live in the Ocean and Sleeping is heaven to me. I do a very bad job at being a Perfectionist and I’m passionate about being Opinionated. My favorite thing since childhood has been to Read and one day, my home will have a massive library in it. I love to Write, someday I will sell my first Screenplay. Cooking is my greatest hobby and Fall is my most favorite season. I've been told I am Weird but in a good way and an Ass to boot. Halloween is the Greatest Day out of the entire year. And in the end, that is how I define me!

| I love how we can't sign off on a health care reform bill because it might give money to pay for abortions and abortions are BAD and we're a Jesus loving/pro-life country who love life SO MUCH! So now we'll halt the health care bill from passing until we can get rid of abortion because LIFE IS SO GODDAMN IMPORTANT. And while they halt the bill, more people die daily from lack of health care. That's pretty pro-life, isn't it?
I love how certain people in this country think they have a right to dictate how their taxes are spent. It's amazing that we halted the health care reform bill because it might pay for abortions but abortions are bad because it kills innocent babies but damn if anyone were to question when Bush was asking for blank checks to pay for a war that was killing innocent lives every single day. Those who halt health care are patriots! protecting the lives of innocent babies who, if born to poor Americans are fucked because those who halted the health care reform also halt any aid given to poor Americans because they are not worthy of help, BUT any American who halted the spending of taxpayer dollars on a war for oil are unpatriotic and should be sent off American soil, maybe just shot by the troops because we can't have unAmerican people living in this country who dissent and question authority, that is question authority of the white man. If it's a black man, we can question all we want, we can even talk about killing him and spilling his blood and impeaching him because he's Kenyan born even though we've all seen his Hawaiian birth certificate. Fucking assholes.
My other favorite thing -- when rich Christian Republicans will have to pay an extra couple dollars in their taxes to pay for a health care bill for those who cannot afford health care. OH HELL NO! we can't do that, how dare ANYONE expect ME to pay for their health care. Those people just need to get jobs and stop expecting a handout, even though, you know, plenty of the people who do not have health care actually, ya know, WORK! And I love that we're such a goddamn freakin' Jesus Christ country until money has to be spent on the poor, then we become a country of self-righteous fucktards. Jesus Christ taught us to help the sick and poor, to give all our money to the poor and we shall find treasures in heaven. It's pretty amazing and pretty convenient when those rich Christian Republicans forget that part of Jesus Christ's teachings. | | |
| It amazes me how hypocritical we Christians tend to be. On a daily basis, we break the 3rd Commandment but I doubt we ask for forgiveness for it because so many of us do not even know we do it. If you are not familiar with the 3rd Commandment, you can read about it here and read the long list of ways we break it.
We're so wrapped up in our own hypocrisy that we don't stop to look around and listen to the amount of Commandments that are broken every second, every hour, every day. It amazes me when I read about people who have cheated on their spouse and blame the Devil and then all they have to do is pray and they think they are forgiven and then they go about their daily lives. It amazes me that there are thousands of people in this country who are having premarital sex right now, who are thinking about getting a divorce, who are getting quickie weddings and having them annulled 1 day later and they are doing it because THEY CAN! I don't see anyone trying to make these things illegal, I don't see protests on these things, I don't see politicians in Washington D.C. trying to make these things illegal, even when they wave their Bibles and talk about how we should be following that book. And then as I listen to all that, I think about the amount of gay people who cannot get married, who are not ALLOWED to get married because it would go against God, it would devalue marriage and the family and it would be going against the Bible.
Oh, such hypocrites we are :hangs head in shame:

| It was two years ago, around this time. I still cry about it. I hope you found home and peace and loved ones. I still ask for your forgiveness, for my giving up on you. I'm sorry. It just got too hard. I do pray that you all are watching over me, I need that right now. I miss you.

| 4. And lastly, I would think the teachings of Jesus Christ, who by the way gave out FREE HEALTH CARE, would teach us all to help the poor and sick. But I guess we don't want to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ because it might cost an extra dollar here or there.
Jesus replied, "Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false testimony, honor your father and mother, and love your neighbor as yourself."
"All these I have kept," the young man said. "What do I still lack?"
Jesus answered, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me."
When the young man heard this, he went away sad, because he had great wealth.
Then Jesus said to his disciples, "I tell you the truth, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."
Matthew 19-24

| So I’m confused. Some in Congress (they shall remain nameless :lol:) are against the health plan (for various reasons) but one of them is that it will add an additional $290B to the deficit over the next 10 years, which to them is BAD BAD BAD! But they (again, they shall remain nameless :lol:) were FOR giving basically a blank check each month for this false war, which has added an almost TRILLION dollars to the deficit (if not more that we don’t know about) over the last 6 years. Excuse me?
So War = good
But helping the poor and sick in this supposed Christian nation = bad ??
I wish there wasn't just two sides to this plan, either you are for it or you are against it. Where are the people in the middle who WANT to see this done but also WANT to make sure it is a plan that works. I'm kind of sick to my stomach at people who are against it but don't want to give any alternatives. You know, people are DYING because they don't have health insurance and this Universal Health Plan has been on the plate of certain government officials for YEARS, not just since Obama, we're talking all the way back to, who knows how long, 40-50-60 years and some people have just been against it and voting against it. WE NEED a plan, we can GET a plan that can help and won't hurt people (either in their pockets or in their bodies) but the politics gets in the way and that needs to stop.
Oh and PS – Screw you Republican Senator Jim DeMint for saying “If we're able to stop Obama on this (i.e. health care), it will be his Waterloo. It will break him.” Who salivates at the idea of just not even working with a President so you will BREAK him? And then who suffers? Not the President, the American people! If you don’t like the idea, don’t just turn your back and say NO, try to work with him but you don’t want to, you want to see Obama fail. That’s all you want to see happen :shakes head: This is why, at times, politics SUCKS.
