Republicans Vs. Demolition Crew

I may live in the south but I’m not FROM the south so I feel pretty comfortable saying I feel reparations (is that right?) for slavery is STUPID. It’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard. Talk about not moving forward! Yes, slavery was a shameful time in American history, but it happened and now it’s over. I refuse to apologize for being white because I didn’t choose to be white just like the slaves didn’t choose to be slaves. It just happened that way. Now people whose ancestors were slaves think they are entitled to money?! They weren’t you! There is a whole world of opportunities available to them that their ancestors only dreamed about and they’re not taking advantage. Personally, I would think those slaves would be pretty ashamed of that. It makes no sense to me. Hillary Clinton did not choose to be a woman and Barak Obama didn’t choose to be black, but they DO choose to be democrats and they choose to play on the emotions of the people instead of encouraging us to take responsibility for ourselves and our families and keep moving forward.

It’s a shame that other countries already have alternative energy sources figured out and we spend so much time focusing on how to make vehicles bigger, badder and even worse for the economy and environment. It’s a shame that we have the Arctic National Wildlife Reserve but had, until recently, refused to use it. Republicans want the American people to have opportunities available to them to achieve success, whatever ’success’ may mean to them personally. They see the big picture. All the problems and the reasons for the problems, and then they start solving said problems. They understand how important security is and how protecting this country is crucial to remaining a thriving nation. Democrats want the American People to be even more dependent on the government and to basically keep the American people under big brother’s thumb so that we are begging for them to help us rather than learning how to help ourselves. Republicans stand for morals, integrity, honesty, and values. Isn’t that the original American way? Democrats want you believe that whatever you feel is ok.

Whatever makes you feel good is ok with them. If you want to be gay be gay, if you want to not work, then don’t work, if you decide you don’t want to have a baby, then by all means, get an abortion – and since you decided to have that abortion, why don’t you ease your conscience and donate your fetus for stem cell research so at least you FEEL like you did something good. Don’t educate your children at home; leave it all up to the school system. So what if it’s already struggling to leave no kids behind. So what if they are barely ready to move up to the next grade, right? He/she’s lucky you didn’t abort them anyway.

I had never paid close attention to politics until recently. I have children who are going to inherit this country and I would like to leave it in better condition than I got it. I want them to feel safe. I want to tell them about what an important, scary, sad, triumphant time they grew up in. They need to learn respect for their leaders and love for their country. Most importantly they need to know that even though they only get 1 vote each, all together they get 3 and mine is 4 and their grandparents make 8. They are a part of something so much bigger than themselves and they, just like every one of us, need to have appreciation for it.
