Worried/Rant

Sep 04, 2008 09:44

OK, so I know that I haven't written in a looooonnnnnnng time, and a ton has happened since the last time I did, but I am really really worried about the state of this country.  Before I go off on my rant, I want to put out the disclaimer, that i do not think that the liberals or their candidate have the perfect idea, but it is a HELL of a lot better than the conservative candidates.  First of all, "Mavericks" not so much!  Yes, they are different, but McCain voted ~ 90% with Bush during the last eight years, a Maverick that does not make.

His "Vice president," who is the essence of what I feel is the worst woman, bossy, pushy, and closed minded, is only a "Maverick" because she has NO Washington experience (Obama has a least a little) and is hated by her own state.  She is just lucky that the incumbent was more hated.  And saying that she isn't going to Washington to "make friends" is just a ploy to get votes from the stupid people who don't know that she will either not be efficient, because it is all you-scratch-my-back in Washington, OR she WILL make friends once she is elected, because none of the stupid people who thinks that she is serious will remember that in eight years when she runs for President.

Yes, she is from a small town, unlike McCain and Obama, but in her damn speech last night she emphasized all the bad and backwards parts of American small town living.  The point of these DAMN BEINGS and the reason I am WORKING MY ASS OFF is to go FORWARD, not fucking back.  She stated in 2006 that not only is she against abortion, EVEN IF THE GIRL WAS RAPED, but she would never ever support "sex-ed" classes, and would only support abstinence programs.  No wonder her freaking daughter is pregnant, another problem (teenage pregnancy and kids having kids) that she will do nothing to help.  She is against a large welfare system, but not ok with population control...  So the stupid people in this country will continue to breed more stupid people, because there is no way people are going to stop having sex.  The way to go FORWARD is to stop breeding when the parents can't take care of the child and pay for simple things like a house, cloths, and education!  Once the parents have open their minds through new experiences and such.  Also, I have a huge huge huge problem with the government telling me that it is wrong that I take birth control and use condoms.  It is none of their fucking business whether I choose to have sex or not, and it is not their right to force me to have a child when there are safe preventative methods out there, once again with the wanting to go FORWARD.  If you can't tell, while the abortion thing upsets me GREATLY, the sex-ed thing is REALLY PISSING ME OFF.

Also, the woman says that Obama doesn't care about small town American cause he is ridiculing them on their religion and there guns.  HE IS ABSOLUTELY FUCKING RIGHT!!!  Small town people are the salt of the Earth (this is Emily talking), they are hard working and, normally, very nice hospitable people.  The thing that makes most of the small town people pawns in the political game, AND makes me call them the "stupid people" is there unshaking faith in an oppressive religion and their belief that it is the "only way to live."  Also the gun thing, hunting fine, hand gun bad.  Guns are the single most stupid and disgustingly impersonal weapon.  If you want to carry a weapon, carry a knife for god sake.  Chances of you meeting someone who knows how to handle it better than you if it falls into the wrong hands are slim.  Also, unless you are very very good, you have to be close to kill someone.  And one more thing, cause this has been bugging me, the VIRGINIA TECH SHOOTINGS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF EVERYONE HAD A GUN ON CAMPUS.  He changed the doors quietly while people were in class.  The first room was dead in 20 secs, the second in a 30, the third a few seconds later... the whole ordeal only lasted 2.5 minutes, and one of them he was banging in the door that the professor held shut.  In that safe space it would have taken at least a minute for someone to react, and if someone was so trigger happy that it would have been less, then I wouldn't have wanted to be in class with them.  How are you suppose to learn and feel safe when the person next to you has a handgun that he/she can get to in less then a minute and be ready to fire to kill in two.  The only exception is military personal, but even then.  Also, I ANOTHER way humanity goes forward is with courts, not "an eye for an eye."  Yes, if it was to stop him killing others, fine, but once someone would have had a gun, and been in a place to shoot him, the rooms were already barricaded, and after 2.5 minutes (150 seconds), he shot himself.  The STUPID people who say if we were all armed it wouldn't have happened are either too trigger happy, don't understand what it is like to be in a situation like that, where you need at least 30 seconds to process what is going on, or both.

OK, that is enough ranting for now, I have other things to do, but as this election goes on, there will probably be more.  I am so sick of seeing this country go backwards, when in order to say with the world, it needs to say the voice of West influence and forward thinking... or else I don't want to think of what this country will be once the Asian influence in 100 years comes rushing in...

I would like to say I am a second away from quitting, but I can't unfortunately... I might wipe out the world and start over again though ;-)  Don't you think I won't.
