Nah, I have only voted in NJ state elections and a school board budget. I am still just 19 Gunny, I have not had the opportunity to turn a blind eye on anything.
When did I say I wanted to roll over for anything? Bush's speech writers have a monopoly on your brain. Policy makers want to make things as black and white as possible: good vs. evil. Of course, life is not black and white...
I take a stand for what I believe is good and right, which is not what Bush believes in. I love America. I want all Americans to love America. I also don't want America, the country I love, participating in activities that are 100% un-American. I do not criticize this nation, I criticize this nation's leaders and their supporters.
If there is one thing conservatives need skull fucked into their brains, it is that criticism of the policies of our leaders is not a criticism of America. Of course, conservatives love thinking in black and white, so maybe it is impossible for them to realize this.
You think you cant turn a blind eye to history at the age of 19? At what age do you think you can admit to turning a blind eye to it.
Take Vietnam for instance. We have all the benefits of history to understand why we "lost" that war. We have learned the lesson of what happens if we run away from the world. The liberal movement of the 60s is directly responsible for the deaths of millions of southeast asians because they were too busy getting high and acting self righteous to recognize geniune evil. No you see the Viet Cong were socialists. They were their kindred. They couldnt possibly be as evil as the "capitalist" infrastructure stated.
The socialist idealogy that liberalism is centered around has caused nothing but misery, death, and oppression in its existence. But its ignored. The Soviet death camps ignored. The killing fields were ignored. The real threat is always ignored. and for what? Power. Because some of them actually think that they can make oppression work without being so oppressive. Its insane.
Or how about appeasement for example. We have seen what happens when nations refuse to step up to threats in the 1930s. History is repeating itself. But I guess thats alright if you ignore it. you are 19 after all. lets learn things the hard way rather than by learning from the mistakes of others.
Liberalism doesnt work. It never has. It never will. While this nation was based on the founders understanding of human nature, liberalism ignores this fundamental aspect. Its founding principles are based in fantasy. And it seems likely that even more people are going to die before this happens. You have the audacity to support an idealogy that advocates murdering ones offspring and you think
we are derranged?
Oh and when you fight to undermine our credibility in the world. When you fight to undermine our actions to protect ourselves and others, you arent hurting the leaders, You are hurting american security. When you falsely cry that "so and so stole my election" you are hurting america by undermining its system of government. When you support judicial activism you are hurting america by destroying the checks that keep this system in balance. When you murder your children you are destroying the future generations of America. When you go around badmouthing America in other nations, you are the ones causing other nations to disrespect us. When you punish Americans who succeed by taking all their money away you are hurting America.
And just so you know its exactly your attitude that makes me certain we will see a civil war soon. I know you might like it but alot of the world is black and white. There is good and there is evil. Sometimes we have to make choses between two goods. more than likely we have to choose the lesser of two evils. but no one can deny there is good and evil in the world. The world is black and white on the fundamentals.
