Does Silence Dogood?

Most everyone is familiar with the false persona that Ben Franklin created--a middle aged widow named Silence Dogood --in order to get his opinions published in his brother's weekly publication. Fortunately, for us, these days there's not much need to create a separate person in order to be heard. I honestly considered adopting a nom de plume for the purpose of avoiding any consternation directed toward what I may say; but the more I thought about it, the less I liked the idea. I'm not ashamed of what I have to say, why hide behind a made-up name? Keeping that in mind,the purpose of this blog is to write about whatever I have something to say about: there will be some politics, some moral issues, some faith, some entertainment, probably music and movie related. I feel it only fair to warn you: I am a Christian, Messianic specifically. I am conservative. I am a Republican. I am white. I am female. If any of those things bother you, dont bother reading. I welcome differing points of view on the comments section;the person who can't defend what they believe has no business believing it....BUT I will not stand for hate speech, personal attacks, or general rudeness. If you have something to say, feel free to say it politely or not at all on my blog. Thank you. I'll try to update at least once a week of, but you should know; I'm the world's worst procrastinator, so it may not always happen. :) "As all human beings are, in my view, creatures of God's design, we must respect all other human beings. That does not mean I have to agree with their choices or agree with their opinions, but indeed I respect them as human beings."--Stockwell Day Couldn't have said it better myself.
