Where do these people (Republicans) come from anyway?

I am a Democrat so if that bothers you, don't read any further.
I have to get this off my chest.

Where do these men come from?
Todd Akin, (R-MO) "Legitimate rape rarely causes pregnancy."  He is on the Science and Space Committee.  

Jon Hubbard (R-AR)  "Slavery was a blessing in disguise for African Americans."
.
Paul Broun (R-GA)  "Science is a lie straight from the pit of hell."
He is on the Science and Space Committee.

Is anyone paying attention to anything making sense in Washington?  How is it that men with such archaic beliefs be on the Science and Space Committee?  Scares me.  How is it that there are people who voted them into office?  Makes me think that the people who voted for them didn't have a clue as to who these men really are.  

If Akin wins the election in Missouri, then the people from Missouri need to have their heads examined.  

I believe these kinds of beliefs of men like this is just the tip of the ice burg.  To think people actually believe this kind of stuff is downright scary and to have them holding public office is just plain insanity.  Paul Broun believes the world is only 9,000 years old.  Seriously?!

I stated I am a Democrat but don't think the party is much better than the Republican party, but they are closer to my way of thinking.  I believe our politicians and our Government are corrupt and our country is not the country I grew up believing in.  Some people are more insane than others.  Many seem to be Republicans.  I'm sure there are Democrats that have insane beliefs too.  I believe we must stop this insane stupidity.

Or is it too late?

Neglect

It appears I have been neglectful of this blog.
Or, I could say I have been on hiatus.
Either or both could be true.

I didn't do any crochet over the summer.  I had gotten sick in the Spring and I just fell away from  crocheting.  Now, I am back.

I've been making small items like scarves and finger-less gloves.  Nothing exciting or complicated. I just crochet what I feel like doing.  And I haven't been taking any photos either.  I can be so lazy.

I found some interesting and helpful sites today.
