Jill Duggar says everyone loves her little blue eyed WHITE baby

Israel seems to be adjusting to the new climate, culture, food (via mom's milk), and language faster than Jill and I are," his dad, Derick Dillard, wrote. "In fact, he has been the talk of the town. Everywhere we go, people here (sic) about and want to see and hold the, 'big blue-eyed, white baby' LOL."

The family also shared a link for fans to help support them financially. In late June the couple announced their intention to move abroad for a long-term mission project.

Hard for people to wrap their minds around, apparently, but that is their purpose, and the purpose of their cult.

15. At one point, churches were trying to get members into purple states, like New Hampshire.

That was also based on trying to turn the country Republican. They didn't say that on TV, but you have to be pretty oblivious not to figure that out.


Why were so many Katrina victims re-located from NOLA to states like Texas? My take? They weren't going to affect Texas's electoral vote.

13. Now that you mention that I've traveled with my son in countries where white was not the majority

and people flocked around him. I never attributed it to his skin color or his eye color or his hair color. I assumed people thought he was cute and enjoyed hearing his "little kidisms." Sometimes, I thought it might be his Mickey Mouse cap because one pregnant woman kept teasingly asking him for it "for my baby." Or, that people were being hospitable to a kid who was obviously out of the environment where he was "at home" with the language, food, etc.

Then again, my son has brown eyes and his hair has to be exposed to a lot of sun before it looks kinda sorta blond. (My MIL showed me a lock of my husband's hair from his first hair cut. Same.)

No, no, that's not it. Because, when one of their kids captivated me more than the others, I didn't assume it was the kid's skin color, either. It was definitely something especially engaging about the kid's personality.

like blue eyed, smiling and happy -- and the latter two can apply to all babies.

Oh wait, they at outside the us where that sort of baby is an oddity and are describing interest in it.

You may resume the scheduled 5 minutes rage.
