A friend of mind just cleared up the reason conservatives are called the “right” and the liberals are called the “left.”
Read: Ecclesiastes 10:2, it states:
“The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left.”

Dirty Dealings and Politics
Two years ago, you'd have thought I couldn't shut up about politics and the mess we are in as a country, better yet, as a world. Looking everywhere and under every rock there is politics with the black-eye of dirty dealings. I wanted to help change that and was outspoken about my convictions.
While in this mode, I was dealing with some pretty strong narcissistic personalities here in the local level of the Republican party. Women, for the most part, are hard workers, full of vigilance and staying power to get the job done the right way. But put a women who is not a good team player at the helm and you get a narcissistic, self-centered, and at the same time inferior-complexed human being that will take over, bring in her personal posse, make enemies, and control the entire county with her short-sighted mania.
Fast film forward to the present and I haven't set foot in a political meeting of any remote sort since finishing up my presidency as the Republican Women of Pitt County in December, 2010. Even my very best friend severely turned on me at the end when she found out that I was 'heels and elbows' after my term was up.
It's been refreshing not being involved, yes I have heard that the maniac county chair has convinced her little gang of cronies to vote to change the county bylaws to exclude Republican clubs from having seats on the county Republican organization just to make sure her little evil ways do not get overturned by common sense voices. Sad really, but I am outta here!!
However, on the national side, isn't it really sad that the big boys can't keep it clean? Edwards and Schwarzenegger, those filthy letches and now Weiner.....OMGosh!! His name should have made a few people wonder! OK, that wasn't fair, but really with a name like that one would THINK you'd keep it on the clean side.....sheesh!!
Politics are a curse and George Washington said it when he talked about party affiliations and the strife they will cause. Politicians have been given a black eye for years now and I am hoping that it is coming to a head, so that we can start cleaning up the trash and streamline these terms to short sporadic ones so no one gets too comfy in their government-owned chairs. Maybe some of this will sober up the mischievious wannabes and keep them on the straight and narrow path. Close to their families, roots, and those that voted them in!!

If there is one thing I have some to realize ........
It's this: That after spending the past 2 years as leader of a political club and seeing the mean-girl mentality, the mean-spirited rhetoric, all the growing hostilities in the media, communities, and even between family members on the subject of political party stands, I am deeply convinced that it will NOT be the political machine that cures our country's ills, it will be the Christians. It will be the prayers of the faithful.
Therefore, I no longer want to be involved in the political machine, it will do no good as it is.

The Catholic and other Pro-life Voters have spoken!
The votes are in.
And the Catholic vote was decisive.
Republicans took control of the house in a massive sweep, while the Senate remains in the hands of the Democrats by a slim margin.
Early indications suggest the GOP won 53% of the Catholic vote with Democrats garnering 45% of Catholics, according to a CNN exit poll. After losing the Catholic vote by 10 points in 2008, this eight point advantage represents an 18-point shift in support to the Republican Party.
CatholicVote.org Candidates
Catholic Republicans like Bobby Schilling in Illinois-17, Sean Duffy in Wisconsin-7, and Dan Benishek in Michigan-1 all won seats held previously by Catholic Democrats who supported the health care bill. All three of these winning candidates happen to be proud pro-life Catholics, and were endorsed by CatholicVote!
In South Carolina, CatholicVote-endorsed Mick Mulvaney shocked the political world by ousting Nancy Pelosi’s Budget Chairman John Spratt, who has been in office since 1983.
In Virginia, the founder of the liberal Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good (a group that publicly justified Catholic support for pro-abortion candidates) lost his seat to pro-life challenger Robert Hurt. CatholicVote.org backed Hurt with a radio blitz during the final week of the campaign.
We also backed Republican Jeff Fortenberry in Nebraska and pro-life Democrat Dan Lipinski in Illinois – both of whom were re-elected. Lipinski was one of the only members of the Stupak coalition that refused to compromise. He voted against Obamacare.
CatholicVote-endorsed candidate Frank Guinta unseated Rep. Carol Shea-Porter in New Hampshire. Shea-Porter claimed a Catholic faith, yet supported abortion and so-called same-sex “marriages.”
In northern Virginia, CatholicVote endorsed Keith Fimian still trails Rep. Gerry Connolly by a mere 820 votes. Some absentee ballots are apparently still to be counted and a recount appears likely. Please pray for Keith. Our candidate in NY-22, George Phillips, did better than anyone expected, but came up short to Rep. Maurice Hinchey.
And in the marquee Senate race in Nevada, Harry Reid defeated CatholicVote-backed Sharron Angle in a disappointing loss.
Putting it in perspective
This means our 2010 Midterm Election campaign racked up 8 wins, 2 losses and one race not yet decided. But we also helped lead the charge in educating, and mobilizing the most important voting bloc in America – the Catholic vote!
Together we are building a movement, and today you should feel proud.
Victories at the ballot box are a start, and the new Republican Party needs to know we expect them to deliver.
Economic issues may have been the biggest story of this election, but let’s not forget what we said last May. Votes have consequences, and virtually every so- called “pro-life” legislator that voted for Obamacare went down to defeat last night.
Those legislators that stood firm on principle, defended life, and opposed the stifling impact of a runaway federal government were rewarded.
We are grateful beyond measure for your help.
Whatever good we may have accomplished, may God be praised!

Directly from the Democrats Official Website:
For too many though, this ideal is still far from a reality. Democrats are committed to:
Strengthening the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division to better protect voting rights;
Enacting the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, which includes measures prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity;
Repealing “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” in a sensible way that strengthens our armed forces and our national security;
Ensuring civil unions and equal federal rights for LGBT couples, as well as fully repealing the Defense of Marriage Act; They approve and support and will protect Same-Sex marriages
Ending racial, ethnic, and religious profiling; and
Building a fair and more equitable criminal justice system that provides non-violent offenders a second chance at a rehabilitated life.
