But when Palin's administration tramples on the rights of the natives in Alaska, or bans books--oh, she wasn't PERSONALLY involved, so surely it's not an issue. The double-standard makes me sick. Also, maybe this makes me an arrogant lawyer, but I happen to agree that people are clinging to their guns and religion out of an outdated sense of purpose and meaning. I also happen to think that people cling to their atheism for the same reason. Just because he's going to be our next President does not mean that he has to represent EVERY OPINION HELD BY EVERYONE IN THE COUNTRY. I'm sorry, Bugimus, I know you're a man of faith, deep conviction, and intelligence. But my own personal beliefs, which are absolutely not invalid because they conflict with yours and the majority of this country, say that people who follow 2,000 year old religions without any basis in reality or progress are insane. Insane. I use the word. And... I happen to know for a fact that Goldwater agreed with me, staunchly. Religion has absolutely no business in a major political party. That we demand our candidates say "GOD BLESS AMERICA OMFG" after every speech makes me want to throw up. It's disgusting. Absolutely revolting. Christians should be ashamed. When did your personal faith, hope, and charity become platforms for the corrupt? Ashamed. Anyway, this will all be moot in 2 weeks when Obama is elected and the right wingers in this country can have a little bit of time to think about how sucky it is to be treated like terrorists, as I have been for the past 8 years. I have been called a terrorist, a rabble-rouser, a bastard, a sinner, and an unethical tramp by this Republican party for 8 long years. Thoughts that have been commonplace for the past few decades suddenly turned around as horrible ideas by a Rovespierre intent on destroying opposition in the same exact way that Nixon tried to back in the 60s. Yeah, there's a disconnect between me and the norm. I'm on the far, far, far left socially (my beliefs can be summed up thusly: You don't fuck me, I don't fuck you. If we do fuck, we'll figure it out, and I don't need a goddamn form to submit to the government so I can be allowed to figure it out), and fiscally I call for sensible actions that won't cause the downfall of our weak fucking economy. There's no one for me to support fully. But if I have to choose, I'm NOT going to take the easy way out and vote with my wallet, so I go for the leaders who won't look down from their gilded throne and call ME a sinner. -[url=http://blog.brokenhattrick.com]S[/url] Loading...
