Back with a BANG.... and, hopefully with little backlash!! :)

So, I have have never thought of myself as an outspoken political person. Outside of family and close friends I don't usually discuss politics. I definitely don't like to talk about it at work. It's very clear that I am a conservative fish in a very liberal pond. School staff rooms are plastered with Democratic campaign sign and if you ever have a question about who or what to vote for ask almost anybody for works for public schools and they'll probably even offer to do your ballot for you. I have always found it funny how when a Republican president gets sworn into office it is not televised in the schools, but when a Democratic president is school comes to a halt and the inauguration is watched by all. More than anything I hate the message this sends to the students. They only get to see one point of view, the Democratic side. It's not so relevant in the elementary schools, but I imagine it's much worse in the middle and high schools.

Now you're probably wondering WHY I am writing this post. I am writing it because lately I have had several (4, 5 maybe 6) people I know coming to gain a deeper understand of conservative beliefs or maybe just me personally, I don't know. I believe when people think of me they probably think this. . .

And, yes they are right, but hey forgot to add good-looking and hard-working! ;o)

I don't even know that I can truly explain the difference. I can explain my beliefs and why I believe them. Everybody is just so different and my view of what is conservative to me, may be "too right-winged" for someone else or a little "too liberal" for somebody else. How I see it you're a liberal or a democrat. It's pretty black and white for me. I believe that the two are so drastically different and I struggle to see a middle ground. I believe it comes down to liberals believe that individuals are collectively responsible for the welfare of the entire community. Thus more programs to help the entire community means that higher taxes and bigger government is needed to oversee the programs. Conservatives believe that individuals are responsible for themselves, and that the community benefits from the efforts of the individuals acting in their interests. Thus less governmental programs, less taxes, and less government is the goal.

I think that they main issue that come to mind is abortion. It's no secret that liberals are Pro-choice. Again, I am Pro-life and I  am never quiet on this issue. I believe wholeheartedly that life begins at conception and abortion is murder. Period. Lots of people say things about women having control of their own bodies and I don't care because you got pregnant and murdering an innocent baby is not an okay choice to get you out of the situation. I am, obviously a huge advocate for adoption. I have adoption in my family. There were years I would have done anything to have a baby, now that is not an option for me and if I ever decide to have have a family adoption will be the only option I may have. It's hard seeing someone disregard something that millions want, but can't have.

Liberals rely heavily on equality for everybody. I don't necessarily believe this. I don't think that someone should be accepted to college or hired for a job just because of race or religion. It should be whoever is more qualified for the job. Life is not fair. Liberals support feminism and just typing that word makes me CRINGEEEEEEE... Ewwww. Feminism!!!! My views are patriarchal. I believe that men are to the head of the family, church etc. All my reasons for believing this are Bible based. Next, gun control. If you take guns away from people then only criminals will have them. As we all know, criminals don't follow the law, so they will get guns anyway. Imagine a world when only cops and criminals have guns. And, yes, if you break into my house I will shoot you. Just sayin'... ;)

Of course, I do not support welfare. If you don't work you don't eat. Period. I am tried of working my butt off to pay more taxes, so that people who don't work or people that made more kids than they can afford can drive nice cars, have iPhones and eat all organic. Yes, I believe that they Pledge of Alligence should be read in schools and yes, they should continue to say "Under God." I will close by saying that they I oppose abortion, but support the death penalty 100%. Innocent babies should live and the scum of the earth should die for their crimes. "An eye for an eye...." Oh and another big issue.... should the wealthiest American pay more taxes... Uhhhh NO! Why should they pay more than anybody else?! That just teaches if you work hard and do well you are punished for it. Plus, they already pay something like 97% of all the money that is gathered for taxes. Were would liberals be without rich Republicans paying all those taxes for them?!




Andddddd, I'm done!!
