I voted today. The whole process took maybe fifteen minutes in my ward 2 precinct 4.
I am a political refugee from a communist country. For that reason, most of my family has always leaned way, way to the right. By proxy, so did I. Albeit, more socially liberal than they. Before anyone starts giving me any shit about this, know that I don't give a fuck. My life and my experiences are mine and no one elses and my disdain for the way that the left handled certain aspects of foreign policy that matter to me continue to be a part of who I am.
I take my duty as a naturalized citizen of the United States of America very seriously.
Because of my history, I am in NO way socialist.
No way, no how.
Today I voted for Barack Obama.
Today for the second national election in a row I voted a straight Democratic ticket.
George W. Bush, YOU are responsible for the downfall of your party. You end your second term leaving your party and your country in shreds.
Today I pray for the future of my beloved adopted land.
