I am a Tea Party sypathizer (and breastfeeder and non-husband's last name taker). I just think I should get to keep the money I earn. Like I said that one time, the only negative comments I've ever gotten on my blog were when I gave favorable marks to right-of-center political ideas. <br /><br />I really enjoyed the nicoleandmaggie post and read the whole thing and the comments. The only thing I wanted to add was what is the deal with people discounting the scientific evidence? If I say, "Nutritionally, breastmilk is superior to formula," that is just fact. It's not an indictment of formula-feeding. I freely admit that both of my kids drank formula, but breastmilk is better.<br /><br />(Oh, and I have a TV but no cable so we don't watch it too much but mostly because I don't think a lot of TV is great for people...not specifically related to parenting. Also, it's so loud and the lights are all bright and TV kind of freaks me out, but it's the best way to get my football on Sundays.)<br /><br />(Also, I totally ran that 5k in just under 40 minutes because I wanted to....uhhhh...show how ?fast? I am or something.)SarcastiCarriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16256830838017211858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29235839.post-77657054474814112972011-09-17T03:53:28.702-07:002011-09-17T03:53:28.702-07:00We mentioned not mothering things!

Because when children are involved society is more ok with being in your face about it. Grace, though, made a really good point about persecuted US Christians.<br /><br />The tea party is most vocal where it's the majority culture. Don't ask how I know that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
