86. Having a Pathological liar dad... kinda ignore alot of the BS

Wed Jan 20, 2016, 07:19 PM

Jan 2016

Just noise. She's attacking he isn't. I wish I had his patience. Dad always taught me to fight back. Didn't realize it until it was way too late that to be proper Christian ethic is to ignore such attacks. I've actually had at least one conversation with a former bully on Facebook because of it. Think Hillary spent tooooooo much time with Dick Cheney at some point. But whatever. I see a headline saying Liberals no longer amused at Bernie Sanders. Um actually they love him. However Conservadems no. and he's hardly a socialist. I'm not a big fan of Socialism but the media has hammered it so much the word means zip. Don't think voting for John Kerry again will help. Not everyone is meant for something big (me) no matter how hard they want to be.
