I am so disgusted with modern republicanism and christianity. I am so disappointed in this country, lately. It's to the point where I sometimes wonder how I can even be friends with anyone who would support Mitt Romney and the republican party. That may sound extreme, but they are contributing to selfishness, stupidity and inequality. They are a direct threat to my rights, my well being. My daughter's! I don't like who these people force me to become. I feel hateful. But god damn... this stuff is serious! It's not a joke. And if you disagree with Romney and the direction he wants to take this country, but you don't vote, you're just as bad! And to say that you "just don't vote," or you "don't believe in it," is ridiculous. Your not voting is not a philosophy, so don't paint it with that brush of bullshit. Your philosophy is laziness, and if this country goes to shit, it's your fault. If my daughter suffers as a result, I am holding you responsible. I've learned that I am a "serious" person, even though I've never liked to think of myself that way. I know I have been perceived that way, and, of course, as a "bitch." Or "snobby." Obviously, if I was a man, I would not be perceived in such a negative light. But it's just because I give a fuck. I take it seriously. This is the quality of my life, and the life of those I love, at stake. I am an opinionated, passionate woman, and I am not sorry to be any of those three things, even if it makes me abrasive.
