Gotta love the way being a liberal, or democrat, or both immediately places you into the "stupid" catagory in this country. Or on this board, anyway. Besides, it doesn't explain why Dubya is a Republican
.
Ya know, I think both parties have much the same problem with the other. The problem is that they don't agree. Oh no!
But you know what bothers me most? The way Republicans and other conservatives think that they have cornered the market on morality and rightness. Which they then decide needs to be shoved down our throats with policies like, say, pushing to make abortion illegal in the US. No, I'm not trying to start a pro-life/pro-choice argument. Just giving an example of what bugs me.
Guess what? We don't need to be corrected guys! I don't need to know (and don't care, honestly) how wrong you think I am, because you sure as hell aren't going to change my opinion, especially by being obnoxious and self-righteous. It's not a matter of you being right and me being wrong, or vice-versa. You can't simply say "You're wrong" and be correct, because
I think I'm right! We simply have different ideas of where the country should go.
Oh, and by the way... some of my best friends are republican, including my girlfriend. Surprise surprise! They're damn smart people, and they respect my intelligence as well. We don't need to condemn each other's personalities and intelligence because of differing political perspectives, as some on this board (*cough*) seem to find necessary.
