Politics and pigtails

I am sure that just like me you are all beyond sick of the political messages being shouted at us on a daily basis this time of year.

Signs, commercials, social media…you can’t go anywhere without the negativity jumping out at you like a two-year-old hopped up on Sunny Delight.

I am all for supporting whatever cause is close to your heart.

Really.

It is a huge part about what makes our country such a beautiful place to live. Our First Amendment right is unparalleled to any other country in the world; it is glorious. The fact that if you wanted to you could grab some Sharpies and poster board and sit outside of Subway boycotting their meatball subs because you had a bad meatball experience when you were five and think that they should all be banned in America is a pretty staggeringly amazing thought.

However, I keep going back to the same thought.

Mother Teresa said, “I was once asked why I don’t participate in anti-war demonstrations. I said that I will never do that, but as soon as you have a pro-peace rally, I’ll be there.”

I don’t know about you, but if this school of thought is good enough for that lady, I will agree everyday of the week and twice on Sunday. So instead of boycotting meatballs, why doesn’t she make a sign about how awesome a turkey foot long is?
