What?!

Hey, Jimmy Carter, if you want to enter the Health Care debate, try having an argument first. Try "listening" to the oppositions argument and engaging it. This may not be as easy as calling President Obama's opponents racists, but using your brain is usually more difficult than name calling. I am not a racist. I oppose the Health Plan. I haven't heard any response to the (decent) arguments presented against it. You're infuriating!

Continuing to call people like me stupid, irresponsible, racist, and whatever other name you want to use, without responding to our arguments, only makes you look childish.

I spoke with some educated people today on the other side. At the end of the day, we disagreed, but they had some thought behind their arguments. I know there are people like them out there. Why do I not hear your voice? Why do I only hear people who call me names? People like me are not stupid. People who are undecided are not stupid. If you don't present a good argument, you will continue to lose support for your cause.

Catholic Guilt

Stupid decisions and a lax tongue sometimes get me into trouble. This week has not been good for me so far. Going to try and make the rest of the week better, starting with confession today. Guilt sucks, but it is a good reminder that I am still a work in progress.

I am more like Valentine than Peter.
