WHO CARES WHAT I THINK?

Am I lying to myself?
Are the political extremist on the right and on the left the minority of Americans? Or are we totally screwed?
I want to believe that there are others who don’t feel the need think down party lines.
You know, simple stuff like this.
- I think a strong border is important.
- So is a great plan for people who want to live in our amazing country.
- Our country still is amazing.
- I’m totally cool with people marrying who they want.
- I love our military. I come from a military family. My mother and father both served in WWII. My brother’s did in Vietnam.
- Our military and veterans deserve the very best of what we have. Their needs should be a top priority.
- It would be great to have health care. We’re a wealthy nation and we should be healthy too. An American shouldn’t have to lose their house due to expensive health costs.
- Weed should be legal.
- I believe in the right to bear arms.
- I also think awesome, responsible, healthy minded people should be the owners.
- Two words. Freedom of the Press.
- I know, that’s like four words.
- I don’t know anything about the economy.
- But do know we all pay way too much in taxes.
- Our kids need a great education and I’m embarrassed that our teachers have to pay for their own school supplies.
- Fuck racists.
- I don’t think every conservative is a racist. That’s just crazy.
- Not all liberals are pussies. My liberal friends hunt and own guns.
- I don’t believe conservatives are cool with all these mass murders.
- I don’t have any right to tell a woman what she can and can’t do with her body.
- I’m a pretty spiritual guy.
- But the church should have nothing to do with how our country is run.
- I wish I knew more about foreign policy.
- No I don’t. I just want to trust our leaders to do the right thing.
- I don’t think anybody should fuck with us. I like showing the world that too.
- Men and women should get paid the same for the same job.
- I didn’t like Hilary, but thought it would have been pretty cool to see a woman president. Democrat or Republican. Maybe one day.
- I’m proud to stand during the national anthem.
- I don’t let the people who choose not to stand ruin my day though. I understand why people don’t. I do it for my parents and our troops. I will find another way to support equal and civil rights. I’m a big believer.
- I don’t need to be told what to think.
- I would never vote for party over country. That doesn’t help anybody.
- Anybody can have good ideas. You’re seriously going to shoot down a good idea because there’s an R or D by their name? Grow the fuck up.
- We all lose in that scenario.
- Trump has done some good things.
- I don’t like him or his shock jock style, but I’m not afraid to give credit where credit is due.
- And I know a little something about shock-jocks.
- I actually know that our leaders work for us and they need to be held accountable.
- All Americans deserve the truth.
- I don’t care which side the truth favors. I can handle the truth.
- Healthy minded people can handle the truth. Right?
- Nobody cares what I think politically. Unless they agree with me. Then they welcome my speaking out with open arms.
