Sometimes you’ll do almost anything to avoid writing. You hit a snag and it just seems insurmountable. For the last couple of days I’ve been in a kind of writing hell. What did I do in order to escape it? I made for a writing site that I frequent and ended up wasting a lot of time posting about politics, etc. You’d think that it might be a good outlet, and for a while it was. Lots of intelligent people discussing the issues and debating the merits. So what happened? Some tool equated the conservative movement and republicans with Holocaust Deniers. Yeah it’s pretty unbelievable, but it got worse. This person then went on to imply that Cindy McCain (the mother of a black child) is a racist in some awful supposed satire that has her not only fixing the smiles of Vietnamese kids but also the color of their eyes (apparently brown is offensive). It was disgusting… yet the poster is embraced as a fine addition to the community. If this is liberalism, you can guess why I finally said enough is enough and gave up my crusade against the Republican Party. The GOP is a disgrace, but the Democrats and their ilk have degraded into some kind of a radical fringe group loaded down with nutcases. Can you imagine if somebody put big lips and afros on children that Michelle Obama works with? Needless to say, it was time to hit the road… the best part though… I got banned for calling this person out. I must have been doing something right considering what garners praise at that site.
Anyway, I’m back to writing this morning and it’s going well. When I get this sucker done and published, I’ll have to go back to that site and thank them… for all the wrong reasons.
*Meh*, just another day. Be strong and fight the good fight.
