I'm really more of a Constitutionalist than a Republican, but I'm registered as the latter so that I can vote in the primaries. If you asked me to lay the country's issues on a table, my vote for likeminded viewpoints would pull me toward the right side of that table, the conservative side. I would say that is true for me in most areas, but maybe not so much socially. Why, you ask? Well, I have no problem with homosexuals, those who want to legalize marijuana, don't conduct their lives and form opinions out of a single church, etc. What I do have a problem with is our country's attempt to condone a form of communism...socialism. Yes, I compared it to the big C. I do not apologize that I don't like the idea of our government being the "Robin Hood" of America. I think I should keep everything I work for. I think I shouldn't have to give others privileges that I don't have myself. I don't like the federal government telling me what to do, what I can't do. I want to be truly "free", but with local control to help regulate. We all know there are individuals around us who just aren't sensible. These include murderers, rapists, robbers, etc. We need to have a local force to help regulate, yes. But we need to have the right to defend ourselves as well. I do not appreciate dirty liberal hippies (haha, yes) taking from me what they do not earn themselves. Stop fighting for the "rights" that make no sense. Stop fighting for money that you didn't earn. Stop putting the environment above your neighbor and children that are in the here and now. Stop fighting to stop those who are defending your pansy asses!!!
Now, I remember being younger and having some viewpoints that were way more leaning towards the left. But I grew up. I believe it was Winston Churchill who said something like, "If you're not a liberal at 20, you're heartless. If you're not a conservative at 40, you have no brain." This speaks to me greatly. As we become adults and gain more responsibility, we start appreciating what it means to fend for ourselves, not to expect others to provide for us. Our worlds completely change and really...we become a little irritated with those who take what we work hard for. People have this huge misconception that the government pulls money from some tree in the back yard of the white house. Do you know how many people try to argue with me and say, "But you aren't paying for me, the government is" "?! Are you kidding me???? Where on earth do you think the government gets this money? Hello, TAXES!
Likewise, people pay too much attention to the media. Somehow, they have this conviluted idea that every single time our armed forces go to work, they are wasting our money. I'm not saying judgment passed isn't at very few times correct; however, where exactly do you think we'd be if these brave men and women weren't around to protect us? There is so much that the media doesn't spell out because they simply are not aware (thank God, or we'd be in even bigger trouble), so the uninformed American believes only what they hear. Be thankful that so much is going on behind the scenes to protect you.
On to the real topic... Stop blaming a party for a couple of "off their rocker" retards that put themselves in the limelight. Democrats vs Republicans is getting really old. Choose the person that most represents your viewpoints and shut up. Or, if you get really desperate and don't know who's name to pull out of the hat, vote for me. But I don't see how you can call yourselves "for the people" Americans when you feel so comfortable prejudging an entire party instead of realizing it's certain individuals that you have a problem with.
P.S. If you find me hypocritical at all with this post...I am. But I'm also right. The end.
