* If you grow up in Hawaii, raised by your grandparents,
you’re “exotic, different.”* Grow up in
Alaska eating Mooseburgers, a quintessential
American story.
* If your name is Barack you’re a radical, unpatriotic
Muslim.
* Name your kids Willow, Trig and Track, you’re a
maverick.
* Graduate from Harvard law School and you are unstable.
* Attend 5 different small colleges before graduating,
you’re well grounded.
* If you spend 3 years as a brilliant community organizer,
become the first black President of the Harvard Law Review,
create a voter registration drive that registers 150,000
new voters, spend 12 years as a Constitutional Law
professor, spend 8 years as a State Senator representing
a district with over 750,000 people, become chairman of the
state Senate’s Health and Human Services committee,
spend 4 years in the United States Senate representing a
state of 13 million people while sponsoring 131 bills and
serving on the Foreign Affairs, Environment and Public
Works and Veteran’s Affairs committees, you don’t
have any real leadership experience.
* If your total resume is: local weather girl, 4 years on
the city council and 6 years as the mayor of a town with
less than 7,000 people, 20 months as the governor of a
state with only 650,000 people, then you’re qualified
to become the country’s second highest ranking
executive.
* If you have been married to the same woman for 19 years
while raising 2 beautiful daughters, all within Protestant
churches, you’re not a real Christian.
* If you cheated on your first wife with a rich heiress,
and left your disfigured wife and married the heiress the
next month, you’re a Christian.
* If you teach responsible, age appropriate sex education,
including the proper use of birth control, you are eroding
the fiber of society.
* If , while governor, you staunchly advocate abstinence
only, with no other option in sex education in your
state’s school system while your unwed teen daughter
ends up pregnant, you’re very responsible.
* If your wife is a Harvard graduate lawyer who gave up a
position in a prestigious law firm to work for the
betterment of her inner city community, then gave that up
to raise a family, your family’s values don’t
represent America’s.
* If your husband is nicknamed “First Dude”, with
at least one DWI conviction and no college education, who
didn’t register to vote until age 25 and once was a
member of a group that advocated the secession of Alaska
from the USA, your family is extremely admirable.
OK, much clearer now.
“Never take someone for granted, Hold every person
close to your heart, because you might wake up one day, and
realize that you’ve lost a diamond, while you were too
busy collecting stones.”
C. Scott
