im pretty politically active for a high school kid. Ive helped organize forums for local candidates, and currently have a LSU purple and gold Bush Cheney bumper sticker on the back of my nissan.
http://www.geauxbush.com On to my tangent:
There is something I think that many people in this country could learn from the younger generation. There is a good friend of mine who is a total ultra-liberal. Im about as far right as you can go without stepping into the religious right. We disagree about EVERYTHING, and there have been some real shoving matches during the social studies classes we've had together for the past four years. But we both know where the line is drawn between politics and people. Even after the most heated of arguments, hes still a great friend, and we can shoot the bull like anyone else. Its a far cry from the political hatred I see from both sides inside the beltway.
Liberal-dominated areas in the nation call everyone from my region a bunch of rednecks... And we fire right back with a hippie slur or two. None of it is true, and Its a disgusting trend that I hope can be changed. As much as both sides disagree, the opposing side consists of Americans, and nothing less.
I have a feeling a lot of people dont really identify with anyone outside of their own political alignment these days, and its just not right.
Comment, flame, question....
