I chose to marry a Dominant man and He's the love of My life and I'm glad I hung in there and made it work, and I knew that it would be a balancing act. He knows what I am and embraces that. He respects the fact that I have slaves and that I spend pieces of Me on them. finn and I and Charles had dinner together last time and I loved it. I loved watching finn's amusement as Charles tried to boss Me around and My slight irritation over how much he was enjoying that.
Jason and I used have conversations about being polyamourous and I never thought he was as capable of it as he did because he has a bit of a jealous streak. He always used to try and get Me to go the Poly sig at TES as well as the SWITCH sig. I never did, and I suppose I should since I now lead a semi poly life. I say semi poly because Charles and I don't have intercourse with other people. We have see-sawed on the definition of Me using boys with My strap-on and not so amazingly it's OK if I want to fuck another girl, preferably if He can watch... all in a days life of a Mistress, Master, slave, domestic servant poly group relationship family. All that said, I love and embrace the fact that I have the freedom here in NYC to do all this and to see My boy and own him and do with him as I please as long as We have agreed together that this is our chosen course of action.
Thank God in the Universe that yesterday was a day to vote and that we took some STEPs in the right direction to ensure that we can keep on making our own choices in morality, religion and lifestyle. I hope that someday, the Republicans will listen to the message that was given yesterday and start their journey to return to what they once were and get out of bed with the Christian right and the zealots that think they need to be our keepers.
My Mother was a very political woman and she taught Me to be concerned about the people running My country. She supported Barry Goldwater and John Kennedy. That was a time when the choices about who you voted for didn't have anything to do with what was going on in the bedroom and more to do with how we spent our money and what was best for the way we ran the country.
I recently saw a history channel biography on Barry Goldwater. I'm a staunch Democrat (for lack of a better choice), vehemently opposing the Republican party and so almost flipped right past it. I'm glad I didn't. I learned a great deal from watching that biography. Take a look at this:
"After his retirement, in 1987, Goldwater described the conservative Arizona Governor Evan Mecham as "hardheaded" and called on him to resign, and two years later stated the Republican Party had been taken over by a "bunch of kooks." In a 1994 interview with the Washington Post the retired Senator said, "When you say 'radical right' today, I think of these moneymaking ventures by fellows like Pat Robertson and others who are trying to take the Republican Party and make a religious organization out of it. If that ever happens, kiss politics goodbye." He said about Jerry Falwell, founder of the Moral Majority, "I think every good Christian ought to kick Falwell right in the ass," in response to Falwell's opposition to the nomination of Sandra Day O'Connor to the Supreme Court where Falwell said, "Every good Christian should be concerned." [3]
In the 1990s he became more controversial because of statements that aggravated many social conservatives. He endorsed Democrat Karan English in an Arizona congressional race, urged Republicans to lay off Clinton over the Whitewater scandal, and criticized the military's ban on homosexuals: "Everyone knows that gays have served honorably in the military since at least the time of Julius Caesar." He also said, "You don't have to be straight to be in the military; you just have to be able to shoot straight." In 1996 he told Bob Dole, who mounted his presidential campaign with luke-warm support from hard-line conservatives, "We're the new liberals of the Republican Party. Can you imagine that?""
I was shocked to see how he felt about the turn his party was taking. He tried to tell them then that they were on a collision course with what the founding fathers intended and that it would bite them in the ass. Today they are putting band-aids on the first bite. If they don't learn from this, they will need a whole box of band-aids before it's all over. I know that somewhere up there.... Barry... is lowering those signature black bifocals and saying with a smirk... "I told you so!"
