Light blogging for a while, while staying at a place with no computers, no television, no cell phones. Into the silence I go.
Meanwhile, Lon Solomon gives a wonderful sermon on murmuring.

About Me
- Webutante
- I am a conservative woman living in the Southeastern US and the Rockies, depending on the season. I am an erstwhile wife and current mother of grown children. My life, so far, has been one of non-sequiturs which have formed my current outlook on many subjects including: family, culture, politics, food, sexuality, health, and objective versus subjective reality. With a degree in civil/environmental engineering, I have worked as a journalist, fundraiser, and most recently a professional fly fishing guide. I have never met a hiking trail, small trout stream, a leafy green vegetable, an articulate, conservative humanoid or a string of pearls I didn't like. After growing up in a conservative, Christian family, I was seduced by many the "isms" in the 60s, and took some sharp left turns. Then one day I began to realize I was on a dead-end street. By the Grace of God and through the mercy of His Son, I made a U-turn and then some better right turns. Surrounded by libs on all sides, I am thankful that I am alive to share some stories/opinions from my journey, to have a few laughs at myself, and to give Him Glory in the process.

ZZZZZ....zzzzz...Amazing that you merited a mention in Wolcott's blog. Looking things over, yours is just another right wing echo machine with a little flair for racism and fascism. Hope you enjoy your little "spiritual" jaunts in the back country. You could use some rejuvenation.
Trust you enjoyed the silence. it can be refreshing!
Dear Webulante,
Please post my response to your Barrack picture. I think it is importaint and would greatly appreciate it. Could you even post it not as a comment but as an article?
In any case, here are my comments:
I would like to respond to anyone who had a negative comment to make about the Barrack Obama pictures posted on this sight.
First, let me start by saying that I am very liberal and honestly don’t usually agree with Webutante’s political views. However, I respect her as a person, an intriguing writer, and a woman who is well-educated and well-spoken.
Now to address the issue at hand, the Barrack Obama picture. Firstly, it’s no wonder that voters refuse to believe that Democrats and Republicans will be able to compromise long enough to make some good decisions for our country. It is because of people like “BARBARIAN” that we cannot. Instead of actually reading an article and saying “Okay, I disagree, but I can respect someone else’s views” the blogger named, “Barbarian” decided to nit-pick about Webutante’s picture of Barrack that was posted with the article. I cannot say whether the picture was tasteful or not, it’s not my place to say. But I will say the Barbarian’s comments were ridiculous. Firstly, a picture is a picture. It was a joke, obviously doctored, and just something that Webulante wanted to post on her OWN webpage.
If you don’t like it or are offended, then don’t read it. But there is no question that she was totally right it posting it if she wanted to. Get over it. Aren’t there other more important matters at hand right now?
Please folks, not everyone can agree, but at least have the courtesy to respect other people’s writings and postings and don’t criticize them or make silly, unwanted and frivolous comments. If you don’t like a painting, don’t hang it in your home. If you don’t agree with someone’s posting, stop reading it. But everyone has the right to post what they want.
Get a life, or until then, some common sense will do.
Murphy,
Thank you for taking the time to post this comment. There is always room for dissent and divergence of opinion when people use their rational faculties. I welcome liberal commenters like you always because it adds to the discussion rather than detract.
All best,
Webutante
