Sigh.
At long last, four excruciating days after the election ended, it's time for a blog. I had to wait it out before writing this one....I had to cool off so that there was no mistaken racism or closed-mindedness beneath my text. So, here goes -- I apologize in advance for an shocking or inappropriate or politically incorrect sarcastic comments.
I am a republican. I've been what you'd call a republican leaning towards independent....however, this country is farther from ever from being an independent-party based nation, especially now. Anyway, my point is, I am a republican, and republicans are known to be the opposite of democrats--keeping mum about certain things, being politically correct, polite....not this time.
I'll be quick to admit that when I was 18 years old and went to vote for the first time in the 2004 Bush/Kerry election, I wasn't very politically savvy. I was aware of the broad scope of things...the general issues that the candidates stood for. I also obviously went in the political preferential direction that my family did....which is what all young voters do there first time. Our ideas and opinions on issues and national problems are influenced by how we are raised, and that's not a bad thing.
However, four years later, I am almost 23 years old and I've had time to figure out what I stand for and what I believe is right for this country politically. Now, let me just say that if you know me, you know that I have always gone against the grain, so to speak. One would think that since my parents are republicans, my typical rebellious self would automatically head off to the democratic party because that's how I've always done things. I like to go opposite what I'm told :-) So the fact that I am so strongly republican/independent, that speaks volumes.
Karl Marx was not an idiot. His ideals on communism in theory were genius. The only problem is that he didn't take the fallible nature of human beings into account. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we all were hard workers with unbreakable consciences? Wouldn't it be perfect if we all had huge hearts and didn't pillage, or rape or steal or murder? Yes, and in Karl Marx's theory of socialism, it could work if we were all like that.
But we're not. We're human. We're flawed and while most of us are inherantly good, a lot of us are not. Human beings can be lazy and pretentious and selfish and disgusting. And that's how it is, and that's how it will always be. Realistically, we could never survive on this idea of everyone being equal. Because everyone is NOT equal.
Oh, I'm such a horrible person for saying this, right? No, I'm realistic. It doesn't mean I'm racist or closed-minded, or snobby....it's the truth and every half-intelligent person knows this.
We could always go without government and use the whole "Strong over weak" way of life. That would definitely get rid of a lot of the problem in this country...then we could try that whole socialism way of government...not.
So now, let's talk about the Socialist (and possibly anti-christ) that will be residing in the White House for the next 4 years....
Of course I'm upset. I've calmed down a little bit, granted, but I still can't stand the thought of Barack Hussein Obama as president of America. I know, I know....McCain wants us to support him, to try our best to accept the new age of Democrats ruling over America....but I just can't...and I don't feel like I will be able to. Minimal funding for the troops? Pulling out of this war? Distributing the money we work so hard for to people who have 10 kids and won't get out of their dumpy trailers to get a job at even the local CVS? Not focusing on the global issues surrounding on new, efficient energy sources and finding ways to reduce global warming? Universal healthcare so that we can wait in line to see a doctor for 4 months???
While I'm working my 3+ jobs to support the lazier people of the nation, shall I just wait for another September 11th to occur?
This country cannot run on a non-conservative agenda. Sure, everyone wants to see civil liberties distributed fairly....but what is sad is that these kind of things are so trivial when in comparison with national defense, taxes, healthcare, education, and illegal aliens. You want to have a partial birth abortion? Sure, vote for the left side -- it will never happen, no matter what is promised. You want your two male neighbors to be able to marry each other? Okay, that day will come as well, but not now. What's more important to a homosexual couple? Being able to marry or being able to say that you know you'll wake up in the morning to see your loved ones again because the country hasn't been blown apart by international terrorists. Where are our priorities, America??????
This makes me sound like the most closed-minded biggot, but I assure you, that is not the case. I am all for gay-marriage. I refuse to have a negative or positive opinion on early abortions because I've never been in the situation to make a decision on something like that. So, as far as these civil liberties go, do what you do. But as I stated before, there are more important things going on in this country than whether or not you can or can't marry your boyfriend.
I also wanted to point out that Barack Hussein Obama is 6% black. So for all of those who made this presidential election about race, you are an idiot. I'm probably 2% black, would that have been a few more votes for me if I had run for president? This is exactly why we have the electoral college.....so that every moronic vote is not counted in a popular vote election. Oh, and for the black people I know that have thrown out "You didn't vote for Obama because he's not white"....I didn't vote for Obama because of his swaying politics, his lack of support for our troops, our large corporate businesses, and the basic Christian principles that this country survives on. FYI, I also know a few black people that voted for McCain....luckily, it wasn't all about race....oh, in a perfect world.........
And on another note, can people QUIT harping on Bush? He had a rough couple of terms, but not to his fault. Wasn't it Bill Clinton who had the chance to get rid of good ol' Osama Bin Laden? Oh, but he didn't. I won' t go too far into this, but I bet Bush is real happy now to sit back and watch the new President to make some REAL mistakes that the country can bitch about. George Bush will go down as one of the best presidents in history after this 4 years is up. Bet me money....except I won't have any money because I'll be funding trashy lazy asses on welfare. Woo! Go America!
I can't go on about this any longer, except to say that I'll probably be changing my major to Political Science so that I will be able to run for office to make a few needed changes in about 10 years. Wish me luck. Also, please go and review the revelations in your bible....crazy how distinctly similar Obama is to the anti-christ, isn't it? Hmmmm.....
Let me end this by saying Sarah Palin 2012.
God help this nation.

While your blog was "spot-on" and I am very proud of you for speaking your mind (and what is on the minds of so many Americans), you are NOT 2% black oh-daughter of mine. THAT I can guarantee.
Very well written blog.
Love,
Mom
ok, you caught me...i'm totally not black. I just thought I'd fib a little so i could get the black votes like Obama did when i run for office. :-)
