Do I hate republicans? Do I have every reason to hate republicans? I believe that I do, for love of country alone should I hate and call upon all who would listen to share in that hate. But no I don't hate the average republican on the street, even though they have expressed their unmitigated hatred of me. You see republicans have often spoken words of hate for me, simply for my beliefs. To illustrate allow me to tell you what I believe. I believe in God, and I believe that God calls me to action. That action includes defending immigrants as Jesus was an Undocumented Immigrant. That faith makes the demand of me to give to and care for the poor. This covenant comes with the requirement that I shall not judge if someone is not perfect (Although hypocrisy is ok to judge). And more importantly my God has said to me many times in many different ways, but I think he said it best, "THOU SHALT NOT KILL!" -GOD
You see I am a constitutionalist, I believe in the less than perfect nature of our founding fathers. But, I also believe in the hope and wisdom of these less than perfect men. For they put their hope in a future that would have cost each of them their very lives for expressing those hopes. Yet, their hope cast no rosy outlook to cover their eyes in regards to the new nation which they had birthed. They knew both of their cowardly failure to address the lack of rights for Women, Slaves, and Indigenous Natives. But with that cowardly nature came the foresight that though they failed, perhaps future generations maybe willing and capable to take up the mantle and chart a new course for this great nation. Yet, the same republican party that hides behind the constitution was the party that tried to set it on fire. By completely revoking habeas corpus, torture, false imprisonment, wire tapping, loss of human rights, making being human illegal.
You see I'm a member of a rare family in this country. My family has had at least one member in every military action since the revolution. We know and understand what soldiers need and go through upon their return. First and foremost if you plan to send them into harms way it BETTER BE A LAST RESORT! Second, YOU BETTER GIVE THEM THE BEST FIGHTING CHANCE AND THE LATEST EQUIPMENT! Thirdly upon their return, YOU HAD BETTER GIVE THEM THE BEST DAMNED CARE MONEY CAN BUY! Fourth, THE SOLDIERS SHOULD NEVER BE THE ONLY ONES SACRIFICING! All Americans should share in the burden. And Lastly, NEVER LIE TO YOUR ARMED FORCES IF YOU SAY THEY ARE THERE TO FIND WMD's THEY BETTER BE THERE!
You see, I am a computer scientist who graduated in 2002 unfortunately, by 2001 150,000 jobs had been outsourced by the Bush administration. And then to add insult to injury The Bush Administration and the republican majority gave tax cuts to those corporations who sent my job to another country. My tax dollars were used to support a company that didn't support me.
You see I am a father of a beautiful daughter, and I will not have her education be intentionally undermined by some who wants to teach abstinence only education, or to ignore science and teach only creationism, or UNDERFUND SCHOOLS IN THE FIRST PLACE!
You see I am a human, who plans to be on this planet and/or my children, grandchildren and so on, for a very long time. And as such... HURRICANES HAVE GOTTEN WORSE BECAUSE OF GLOBAL WARMING! THERE IS NO LEGITIMATE ARGUMENT WITHIN THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY. GLOBAL WARMING IS A REALITY DEAL WITH IT!
You see I have every right to hate the GOP... I don't mind you, but I don't think anyone would blame me if I did. ;) good luck and God bless...
