I did not have one great defining moment that made me decide to quit the southern baptist church. Instead, as I became more educated, I realized that I really could not continue living for something I did not believe. I just gradually drifted out of it.
I respect your decision to quit the church and I wish you the best of luck overcoming the residual guilt you will feel because of your upbringing. It is hard to reconcile the adult truths with the "truths" that were pounded into your head as a child. This has been a long and hard battle for me, but I have finally found peace with myself and my lack of faith. My beliefs are not for everyone, but good luck in your search.
Barbara Bush has a fat ass, so did Mamie Eisenhower
Dammit! It is not a fat ass. There is a huge difference. I am a white man, and my girlfriend is a white woman, but she has a "ghetto booty". Trust me, there is nothing fat about it. It is large and round, but it is mostly muscle. Fat tends to be shapeless and flabby. This sort of "booty" is generally nice and firm. I don't wish to speculate on what the first lady elect's booty feels like, but the sort of booty described here is not a fat ass by any means.
That being said, I really came into this article not wanting to like it. While I feel it is beyond the lines of taste in spots, I can completely understand the writers feelings. Congrats!
Expanding on that last post I made, I think that Michelle Obama will be a fantastic first lady. She is strong, beautiful, and very accomplished. I am so excited by this whole family that I can hardly stand myself. It will be so great to finally have someone in the White House that I can look up to again.
As a resident of the state that Inhofe is from, all I can say is, "Great Job, Andrew!" Every time this ass is re-elected, I just want to go outside and scream to the universe that not all of us Oklahomans are that stupid. Unfortunately, the religious right will keep him in office for the foreseeable future.
