Welcome 2010 - Happy New Year

I don't know about you, but I, for one, am glad that 2009 is over and done. 

I have been thinking over all the names that I have been called this year:

A domestic terrorist - This done by a DHS report. 

Right-winged Nut - I guess that this isn't really new.  I live in a very liberal area, so thinking that the government doesn't owe me anything makes me a nut from their point of view. 

Tea-bagger - I actually did know what this term meant.  I am just not sure how exactly it is a put down, but I will leave that to Anderson Cooper to explain. 

Racist - I don't think that I have ever been called a racist until President Obama started running for President.  Hmm, I guess that is something that came upon me suddenly. 

Redneck Teabagging Racist - I guess Ms. Garfalo had to go a step further than Anderson Cooper.  I don't really think that I am a redneck.  I am well educated, grew up in New England and prefer silk and cashmere over flannel. 

According to the crazy Congressman from Florida, I just want people to die since I am a republican.  Although, I am really a conservative not a republican. 

Harry Reid has said that I support slavery since I don't agree with him on healthcare reform.

Michele Obama has said that this is a women's issue.  So, as well as being a racist, a redneck, tea bagger, a supporter of slavery, a completely unfeeling person who wants people to die; I am also a bad woman.  How do I live with myself I wonder?

The French foreign minister has called me an ugly American because I think admitted child rapist Roman Polanski belongs in jail.  This is a badge that I will wear proudly. 

I am still waiting on the checks to arrive for showing up at tea parties and my local town hall meetings. 

Barbara Boxer thinks I am too well dressed.  Well, I do try.  I am glad she noticed. 

I don't normally make New Year's Resolutions because I won't follow through on them.  I am going to make an exception this year:

My resolution is that I am going to work as hard as I possibly can to clean out the swamp that has become our federal government. 

I hope that you all have a safe and enjoyable evening tonight.  Welcome to 2010, a year for the conservatives to show what they are made of.
