Momma Moonbat Barks

This is my first blog post ever.  I've been promising myself forever that I would start a blog, and after kicking myself in the ass for a few years, I'm finally doing it.  I hope you'll find it to be interesting, entertaining, informative, or at least not a total waste of the time it took you to read it.  


First a little about myself.  As I noted in my profile, I'm a Viet Nam era baby.  For those of you who aren't quite sure what a Viet Nam era baby is, we're sandwiched between the baby boomers and the Gen-Xers.  We're either the first-born of the older boomers, or the menopause babies of the WWII generation.  President Obama could and probably should be considered on of us, although the boomers also claim him.  At least, some of them do.  Then you have those who want him to "keep the government out of our Medicare", but that's another post altogether.  For the most part my generation is one extreme or the other.  We're either really sharp or we have no sense at all.  Unfortunately, the ones with no sense at all are also mass breeders of another generation with no sense at all.  That's also fodder for another post.  


Politically, I am, as the title suggests, a barking moonbat.  The Dittoheads thought they were insulting those of us leaning to the left when they called us Barking Moonbats.  Most of us embrace the name and think it's pretty cool.  


My religious views are that there is no skydaddy, junior, or righteous spook in the sky there to reward or punish us for whatever it is.  In short, I'm an atheist.  I care not what god or gods anyone worships, so long as they do not encroach upon my life, liberty or property to do it and do not commingle the church and the state.  That's a big one for me - keep your church out of my state and I'll keep my state out of your church.  


Animals are a passion for me.  I love all of my animals, including my wild friends in the yard.  That would be the bunnies, squirrels (although we've had an ongoing squirrel war), chipmunks, and anything else that seeks shelter here.  


That's it for my introduction.  I hope I haven't scared you away yet.  I hope you'll stick around for more barkings from Momma Moonbat. :)
