Margaret and Helen talk Ellen

[Irishonly]

HELEN:

Margaret, I think that religious freedom means that we have freedom for religion as well as freedom from religion. Now I know you don’t worry about this stuff. You have never questioned your religion and you never worry about the day you will eventually meet your maker. I question my religion regularly and worry all the time. I guess that’s why I have a fat ass and you look like a zipper when you stick your tongue out. Which reminds me, dear, did you check on that cake recipe I sent you? I am not sure about the ingredients and Betty’s daughter is kind of mad at me about that Komen stuff so I can’t ask her right now.

And speaking of being mad, I watched that sweet Ellen – like I do every day – and discovered that one million mothers are mad at JCPenney and they are trying to get Ellen fired because she is one of those lesbians. That sweet little girl never did anything but make people laugh and dance a little. Every time she comes on the TV I have to get up and do a little step doodle-ditty step with her. I just love her. Who are these million moms anyway? Mothers should know better. Statistically speaking a hundred thousand of those moms are raising a child who secretly watches Ellen and would one day make a fine spokesperson for JCPenney.

All of this hatred in the name of Jesus is alarming. It’s alarming from a million moms and it is particularly alarming from presidential candidates like Rick Santorum. He was in Texas this week talking about his faith… which always leads him to talk about abortion and gay marriage. I swear that man worries more about vaginas and who is sleeping with whom than any normal person should. I don’t think he is right in the head. He told his audience that his faith is a part of who he is and it will guide him in his presidency. Well good for him.

I adore these two women. I am no spring chicken and they have been friends longer than I have been alive.

4. Love these two, as well! They are spot-on.

Santorum is scary. All he talks about is sex, abortion and gays. I agree that he has problems and I sure wouldn't want him anywhere near the White House. But then, the other 3 are no better.

5. LOL, Irish

Thank you for introducing me to these fine women.

The webpage founded yesterday to support Ellen had 116,102 likes the last time I looked:

https://www.facebook.com/pages/1-Million-people-who-support-Ellen-for-JC-Penney/171435642966371

Many of the posts are inspiring. Several people are reporting that they are refreshing the page constantly just to see the support of people from all walks of life for tolerance, kindness and fairness.

6. I didn't know about the FB page

Thanks for the link. I shared it. Margaret and Helen are wonderful. Ellen is also and should never have been subjected to the millions stupid moms.

7. That page has been a party tonight

People are posting disco songs and the "Likes" are going up by thousands.

I don't like some of the obvious planted posts for J.C. Penney stuff but the banter and positivity on the site is very uplifting.

The progressive (or maybe just common-sensical) events of the past few weeks are giving me hope that the common folk are finally getting heard.

8. I hope so

I just have never understood the hate and control that these religious right fanatics show in every thing they do. I will check the page later. I do believe I will hit Penneys early on the first and buy something. Maybe I will buy a couple of things. I usually have to shop online but I think I am ready for an excursion.
