Wow. Politics bring out the worst in people. Thanks to modern technology, everyone thinks it's ok to spout off their personal political beliefs on the internet. They post half truths, misconceptions, and flat out ignorance on their Facebooks, Twitters, and blogs. If you don't buy what they're selling, drama follows. I've seen close friends and family members at each others throats because they have different ideas. It's insane.
I'm not playing. My beliefs are mine, and I am more than welcome to discuss, debate, and explain my feelings. But I will not post them online and basically tell everyone that doesn't believe them that they are bunch of idiots. I just can't believe the way people talk to each other. So much racism, negativity, and stupidity. It's giving me a headache.
We live in a country where we are allowed to choose the representatives that we want. That doesn't give us the right to fight, belittle, and just flat out be rude to each other if we disagree. Do your talking at the polls people. Perhaps before hand, do some real research on each candidate too. Both parties play with half truths and the news reports it as they see fit.
In the meantime, leave the hate alone. Nobody cares that you "know" that Obama is a Muslim, or the Romney isn't a "true Christian" and all the other dirt. Vote for your state representatives, you do know that the House and Senate play a role too and that the President doesn't have absolute power, right? Then stick to policies and facts. And finally, be kind to one another. Hate is such an ugly thing.
