Reflections on a Group of People

Disclaimer: This article that I wrote is STRICTLY an editorial, found on my personal editorial blog titled "The News Is Next" hosted on LiveJournal. I look forward to anyone's rebuttal to my arguments. Again, this is an editorial, very opinion-based article. Thanks. Here it goes.

People can be very strange. There is essentially no such thing as “normal” anymore because something that one person sees as “normal” instantly turns to insanity for someone else. The idea of going to church, to me a perfectly normal, acceptable, and even practiced idea is craziness and blasphemous to someone else. Even the ideas of politics can be simply insane to people.

I’m here to tell you about one of those groups of people. These are simply my opinions, however at the same time I hope to hear rebuttals from anyone and everyone, whether or not you agree with what I’m saying. After all, this is an editorial.

That group of people (lumped into one, sorry if you don’t fit all of these stereotypes) are democrats. No, scratch that, extremist democrats. The kind who are so unwilling to accept any outsider perspectives that if you don’t agree with them you deserve to be thrown in jails. They feel that anyone who doesn’t agree with their agendas and personal beliefs closely resemble the character “V” in the movie “V for Vendetta.” If you haven’t seen the movie, “V” was a social anarchist who’s overall mission was to destroy the British parliament building (the idea of this taken from the plot from Guy Fawkes who attempted to do the same thing on November 5th).

I say that I don’t like Hillary. I’m automatically labeled a “sexist.” It doesn’t matter at all that I’m making an educated disliking towards her based off of her past records and experiences, nor does it matter that I disagree strongly with a lot of her platform and agendas that she’s running with. None of that stuff matters, but since she’s a woman, I’m automatically a sexist.

I say that I don’t like Obama. I’m automatically labeled as a “racist” for that statement. Never mind that I feel that my wallet, credit cards, checking accounts, mutual funds, and stocks and bonds wouldn’t be able to afford his new tax plans. Never mind that I feel that he has nowhere near enough experience in any sort of executive position to effectively run our country. It makes absolutely no difference to them that I also feel that the solution to the health care crisis is to eliminate the superfluous lawsuits instead of starting a socialized program, which is essentially going to be paid for by you, me, and everyone else. No, none of that stuff matters at all. I’m a racist for not supporting their candidate.

I also love the popular argument that McCain’s VP Candidate, Sarah Palin, doesn’t have enough experience to run a country. I’ve got some good news: she isn’t. She’s the vice president. And by the time she becomes president (if that were ever to happen) she will STILL have more experience in an executive office than Barak Obama! So how then does this make her a bad candidate? I don't think it does.

If they would look into her record of achievements, they would CLEARLY see that she’s done many good things, including selling the former Alaskan Governor’s private jet on Ebay because the government had no usage for it. I love how she also pushed for cleaner oil, including repairing sections of the pipeline that may not have been really clean.

There are many things about Obama’s campaign that I sincerely disagree with, mostly those to do with tax increases. Everything Obama wants to do is going to increase taxes, which does absolutely nothing for economic stimulation. The socialized health care plan is going to send taxes through the roof. And please answer me this, how is it remotely fair that me, a person who doesn’t get sick all that often, is going to be required to pay for someone who gets sick all of the time to see a doctor? The caliber of medical care is going to go down. Did you know that one of Canada’s leaders went to New York to have open heart surgery? Ever hear the reason? It was because Canada doesn’t have the resources and was going to put this person on a waiting list for this life-saving surgery.

In short, Democratic extremists have labeled me as a racist and sexist simply because of my opinions. They also blatantly refuse to recognize that my opinions are backed up with plenty of fact. If being educated and wanting the more competent person to be the leader of the country where I live, then I’m proud to be that “racist and sexist” that the Democratic Party hates. Because being educated does not make me a “racist and a sexist” American, but instead it makes me a competent voter, an educated American, and it makes me someone who will make the right choice in voting for our next president, Senator John McCain.
