Originally Posted By CuriouserConstance Tasha, no, she's not nearly as cool as that, lol. Fodd, just imagine the twisted, sick version she's "learning" about the constitution at those meetings!
Originally Posted By friendofdd CC, if you are serious about this post, it should probably be persued in World Events. If you are just having some fun with it, even then there are people of all political persuasion in our community. BTW, I think the best way to learn about the constitution is to get a copy and read it. That is what I do. It is an interesting read when you just see the words yourself rather than simply going by what others tell you.

Originally Posted By CuriouserConstance Hardly seems like a "World Event" that I have an Aunt and Uncle going to tea bag meetings, but whatever.
Originally Posted By CuriouserConstance And BTW Marlin, I'm just joking around for the most part, I'm extremely tolerant of others and their beliefs. I would never say anything to my Aunt or her husband to make them feel bad about their beliefs or even question what they were doing. If they want to believe that, fine. That doesn't mean I can't have a little fun though, so try to lighten up a bit, no one needs anymore stress or tension in their lives.
Originally Posted By friendofdd Please accept my apology, CC. I mean no offense. "Tea bagger" is often used as a perjorative (members seem to prefer "Tea Party"), as are kook and crazy. Since this is in community and we have members on all sides, perhaps we can balance it like this: OBAMANATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *wail* My mom told me that her sister (who lives on the opposite side of the country from us) told her on the phone that she's been attending Obama meetings. I always new she was a kook. Once when I was visiting family back in Pennsylvania where I grew up and she still lives, she showed up wearing a hat with "G" on it, and said she was out stumping for Al Gore. *gag* SOOOO me and my husband exchanged looks and knew to place her in the "Crazy" file. But now she's telling my mom about the Obama meetings and the worse part is, she said she's been "learning a lot about the constitution" at the meetings. *gag* *wretch* *wail* *projectile vomiting*

Call me "crazy", but I like CC and Labuda and most everyone else I have met on LP. So, thanks a lot CC, it's all your fault (teasing).
