Hey Brent,

My comment about the church being the worst offender - I was thinking about how many denominations we have and how we fight amongst ourselves. Substitute "churches" for people groups. Maybe we're not the worst, but I think the condition reflects our fallen nature.

I am not surprised that the media was purposefully degrading - I see that all the time.

unclean pork....maybe. we'll see what you think. My blog agenda is fast filling up this weekend!

B, if a candidate/president give an great error free speech, all that tells me is they can read someone ELSE'S speech and put on a good show. Not always the greatest thing. ;-)

Bad, saved you from spam.

"Gotta disagree - I think the church is the worst offender."

Really? I would say that many religious people live life like this, but I would hardly say they are the worst. They are one of many.

My point about the classification was not that it is happening, but that it was actual purposefully degrading. I haven't heard that specific undertone from either candidate. They've said some stupid things, but after listening to the speeches, the media's statement stood out the most.

"Whether it is sinful to shop at walmart is a whole ‘nother issue that Believers need to consider - regardless of economic status. But that should be saved for another thread."

Interesting. I'd love to read your post on this one. Sounds a little like Paul's discussion about unclean pork.

We lived in the hockey capital of the U.S. of A.! Lake Placid, NY 1980 - 1985 - our son played hockey - they gave him a uniform, pads all the stuff. I think even the ice time was free. It was one of the cheapest sports our son played in at the time. I think what your hearing is political hype par excellence! They just don't know what to do with this "hockey mom" !! The media is really digging a hole they may not be able to get out of!

Brad Ruggles said, "The more diverse our society becomes the more we begin to put up walls and find further ways to push people groups apart.The media is definitely the worst offender."

Gotta disagree - I think the church is the worst offender.

It doesn't surprise me that the media is discussing demographics and segments of society. The politicians are DEFINITELY doing it.

Where I live the high-income moms are more likely to be lacrosse moms - but that's because we don't get much snow.

Brandy might have had the right interpretation with regard to female dems and republicans - maybe that was what they meant more than income.

Whether it is sinful to shop at walmart is a whole 'nother issue that Believers need to consider - regardless of economic status. But that should be saved for another thread.

This reminds me..."Slap Shot" is On-Demand on cable this month. I gotta remember to watch it (classic hockey movie for all you women out there).

tam, thanks hun :)

Brad, it's almost as if they think they are allowed to say and do things that are offensive.

Judi, I didn't want to disturb you. I'll try to post something that will make you smile to balance it all out :)

Brandy, I was telling some people last night that a speech means nothing to me. I just want to see someone back up what they say.

Brody, Haha! It makes me cry sometimes as well. Let's start a group or something.

Chris, I love the sticker I saw this morning, "Read My Lipstick". Haha!

According to Palin hockey moms wear lipstick. I guess the Walmart lipstick just isn't as nice? :)

When I read that, I read it as "hockey moms=rich democrats" and "walmart moms=poor republicans" but what I THOUGHT was "hockey moms=not smart for not saving a few bucks at walmart" and "walmart moms=smart shoppers." :lol:
Okay, that was dumb. But seriously, I see what you're saying. It just sounds like an idiot stuck his foot in his mouth and didn't think AT ALL about what he was saying and how it came across to viewers.
And I hear ya on being scared that Obama knows how to talk. ;-) My mom HATES that Bush can't deliver an eloquent speech. I kind of like it though. I know, call me crazy. ;-)

Interesting! I didn't know that Hockey Moms were wealthy...
I didn't know that WalMart moms were poor...

I'm disturbed now. I heard alot of commentators last night and most of them disturbed me.

Wow, I hadn't heard that classification before. While it does upset me, it doesn't surprise me. The more diverse our society becomes the more we begin to put up walls and find further ways to push people groups apart. The media is definitely the worst offender.

Tyler, I am not surprised that the media would segregate or classify people, but it seemed to me to be an almost intentional degrading of women. It was weird. I'm with you though. I am much more than a classification. Our division in politics will never end if we continue an us vs them attitude. Of course I'm not surprised the media would encourage that. I mean, it sells more papers.
