Bush and Degenres



Recently a photo has gone viral, a photo of former President George W. Bush and TV Host Ellen Degeneres enjoying a football game together.

At first, people were very angry and upset that the two were together. They have very opposing views, how could they even stand to be in the same room?

Ellen Degeneres and the former president have different political views, one being gay marriage. Ellen Degeneres is an openly gay women who is married, and Bush in 2004 supported the ban of gay marriage, but supports civic unions. Yet, Ellen claims that she is still friends with Bush, despite opposing views. I am sure that is not all that two disagree with.

In a clip from the Ellen Show, Degeneres spoke about her friendship, stating, "just because I don't agree with someone on everything doesn't mean that I'm not going to be friends with them. When I say 'Be kind to one another,' I don't mean only the people that think the same way you do. I mean be kind to everyone. Doesn't matter." The quote went viral, appearing on multiple social media platforms.


Ellen joked about being surrounded by people with different views than hers, noting that she is a Packer's fan.


So, there you have it, you can be friends with people with different opinions than you. Yes, it is true you tend to be friends with people that have the same values, beliefs, and opinions as you do, but you can still be friendly to them. The nation is so divided right now, and if this can serve as an example to be nice to each other, then good.

I have never heard of Antiwar.com, and after briefly reading through the website and articles, I was very intrigued. This website pointed out viewpoints and ideas I have never really thought of before. For example, I did not know that the American Military has killed more foreign civilians than any other military force since dropping the two nuclear bombs in Japan in 1945. The article I read first talked about how no one cared about Syrian civilian's deaths until now. in 2014, you would never hear about the deaths of these Syrians, but now it is on mainstream media. The mainstream media say that all these deaths are by the IS, Russian airstrikes or the Syrian Government forces, but remain silent when the US is responsible for casualties. According to the article, in 2017 the US was killing more civilians in Syria than IS, Russia and Syrian forces. This is information I had no idea about. I think I am ignorant, and don't want to know about war and what goes on. It i...

I Googled Myself...

This week we were challenged to google ourselves and look at our online profiles from an outside view. So, I did just that.  I googled first, Maddy McCracken. Apparently, I have my own IMBD account were I stared in the 2012 TV series, "The Creepypasta Episodes". Unfortunately or fortunately, I did not star in this TV show, but this is the first link that comes up. Though, it would be cool to be an actress, but alas, I am not. Another link that popped up was a Facebook link saying that I was on Facebook. I am indeed on the site, but I have a private account. Even though I have a private account, my photos I am tagged in still show up. They are mostly family photos, old dance recital photos, dog photos and first day of school pictures. There is nothing detrimental on there that super embarrasses me, or would deter me from a job. I do not have anything political on my Facebook, just that I attended an all girls Catholic school. I suppose that could rub someone the wrong way,...
