Preschoolers from my friends synagogue were asked what President Obama’s job was. These were their answers.

Hannah: To protect the people.

Reagan: He helps people.

Stella: He helps people drive cars.

Matan: He does work to get money to give to the people who don’t have money.

Sia: He helps people who don’t have money and gives money to the people.

Sadie: He sews dresses and pants for the people who don’t have clothes.

Sounds about right.

Caitlyn: To look pretty and smile while he has the military kill innocent people.

Ugh, when I was an adorable small child, I also believed everything my mom told me about politics. That doesn’t make it true or good or ethical. It’s a reflection of the state of psychological infancy one’s moral and intellectual reasoning is in at that age.

At least they didn’t exploit the cuteness of the kids, I guess. Though I really wish they would spend their time actually educating and nurturing these children, rather than exploiting their ignorance and cute rhetoric.

This is my rescued nine week old Boston Terrier Opie. He was 2 weeks old when a child opened his eyes too early which caused him to get ulcers and lead him to become blind. For any of you who have met him, you know he is the cuddliest, swetest love bug in the world. 

Opie is my 2 year old French bulldogs best friend. He follows Rocco by the jingle of his ID tags to get around our house.  Before we brough Opie into our home Rocco was showing slight signs of agrresion. Every time our cat would come around his food bowl, he would run from accross the room to get him away form it. Since Opie has been here Rocco hasn’t had a care in the world, he is intently focused on Opie. I’ve never seen this side of Rocco, being so sweet. 

Opie will need a complete eye removal surgery (Enucleation). When we rescued him we were told the eyes would be fine and were not painful but he would remain blind. Luckily we have learned more about his condition and found out he is in a ton of pain. We never would have known because this puppy is so so so happy. 

Enucleation will cost $500+ vet care after. Right now my family does not have a way to pay for this surgery. We are doing everything possible to raise this money. I have made a paypal donate account just for Opies care through all of this. I don’t expect anything but if you could share Opies story maybe we can make him more comfortable. 

I will be updating on Opie on my page daily. He really is a little miracle and I’m so excited for him to feel better, thank you. 

If you can’t help out financially, I would love it if you could reblog this so more people can see it and try to help Opie out! Much love! Thank you ❤ 

Please donate if you can, It will be greatly appreciated. 

As someone in the same financial/medical situation with her puppy (The Kraken’s condition has worsened), I can certainly empathize. I know my lovely libertarians understand the importance of private charity, so I hope you take a moment to make a donation for this precious little puppy, no matter how small. ❤

Envy does not even begin to describe the way that I feel right now.
