The conversation escalated. I was arguing loudly, people were watching, things were getting quit around us. I asked the older man point blank if he was just batshit crazy. He said, “who is to judge what is crazy and what is not.” I pointed out that it’s batshit crazy to publicly assert strange and malicious rumors which you know not to be true. I pointed out that it’s equally batshit crazy to believe in strange and malicious facts which, on their face, seem unbelievable and you know cannot be verified. He again said he had the proof. I laughed and said that was a total fucking lie.
I asked him to give me the name of the ex military officer who witnessed Obama’s birth. He could not. I asked him to tell why Obama’s birth certificate was an obvious fraud. He could not, but said there are articles “out there on the web” that explain it. I asked him to give me the name of the State Department official who is willing to sign the “Obama is a Muslim” affidavit. He could not. I asked him for a source confirming that Obama is threatening the MSM with charges of racism. He could not. I asked how in the hell was Obama’s church in Chicago heretical and non-Christian. In response, he asked if I had seen the Reverend Wright videos. I forcefully replied that Reverend Wright may have been a very animated speaker who gave highly controversial and politically charged sermons, but that has nothing to do with heresy or being non-Christian.
And in conclusion:
This anger felt good. It was constructive anger. Yes, I may have took it a bit too far but these right-wing nutjobs have been taking it way too far for the last year. They’ve been attacking Obama with this crazy stuff without any real fear of being held accountable or being challenged on their falsehoods. Not any more. Not for me. I’m sick of their crazy stuff and I’m not letting them get away with it in my presence any longer. I’ve got Obama’s back.
Whatever you think of Obama as a politician, let’s all agree to act up a bit more the next time we hear someone spouting that “Obama is a Muslim” bullshit. “Prove it” and “Why the hell would it matter if he was?” are both perfectly valid arguments—arguments that should be carried out vociferously, and at above-normal volume.
Let’s stop the ignorant from taking over our country. They’re not a majority—they’re just willing to be very loud and very wrong. Let’s be equally loud and very right.
THIS.
1. Mom- You’re the kindest person I’ve ever known and ever will know. I don’t tell you that enough. And I know you worry about me and that’s my fault but I just love you a lot, and you’re great, and I want to be just like you someday. Okay. Next.
2. Jennifer- I’m still really upset about our last…

I shouldn’t be doing this…
Sure I like him, and I’m frustrated with the other him. But I’ve loved the other him for so long, I don’t know how not to.
This is a weird situation.
WhydoboyslikemeIdon’teven.
on doing my next letter tonight, but it’s the one to your sibling.
And I can’t deal with that right now, that is going to be an intense one and I want to take my time on it.
Seeing as it’s 2 in the morning and I have to get up in 5 hours, right now is not the ideal time.
So something to look forward to for tomorrow.
Hope everyone sleeps tight <3

I really don’t know what to say to my parents. Which is odd.
I love you, and thank you for making me who I am today, good and bad. I’m so scared to disappoint you. I’m trying not to.
Love,
Em
I’m switching crush for boyfriend, k? K.

I love you with all my heart and soul, honestly. You aren’t just my boyfriend but my very best friend in the world, and you have been for the past 3 and a half years. I don’t know where I would be without you; you’ve kept me sane, kept me alive at one point, although you don’t know that. You are the only one that I can tell anything and everything to, and the only person I want to see on my worst days. I want the world for you, with you. You could be anything you’ve ever dreamed of with your brain and your talent. I worry about you, and the things we argue about only upset me because I see so well who you could become. I don’t want you to do anything to mess that up. You’re going to grow up to help people somehow, and you will thrive on it. 20 years from now you’ll be doing something amazing, music or science or whatever it is you fall in love with.
Know that I love you more than I thought possible at 17, and that can never be erased. I know you’re scared about a year from now, but I promise it will all work out. We may not be together then, but you’ll always be a part of me and my life.
With all my love,
Em
P.S. Happy Birthday baby doll :)
