SLC: Not Surprised By Obama Hate In My Town

I am nothing like the majority of them that live in (Rexburg). Like I said I did not grow up here. My dad is a very active Mormon and is also the most Christ-like person that I know as well as the most non-judgemental person that I know. He always gave me the chance to make my choices but always told me there would be consequences to pay if they were not good choices. I found him to be very wise. It is difficult to live here--I just don't fit in. I am divorced which shuns me from the rest of the community. If I had a dead husband I would be welcomed with open arms. Working with teenagers, I hear catty girls talk about other girls in a very mean way on a daily basis. I think Mean Girls was based on this community. Before the election, I constantly heard horrible, negative remarks about Obama. Things like babykiller, he is black, he is stupid, he doesn't deserve to win, my parents will move out of the country if he wins, and worst of all, he is a democrat/SLC. More here.

Question: What would you like to say to SLC?
