No matter who wins the presidential election today, history will be made. It does not matter who you voted for today, you participated in a history making election.
I voted for Obama.
And, if you voted for McCain then I'm cool with that. Don't get me wrong, I'm no Obama girl. But, I tend to be very liberal in my thinking. However, I am also very respectful of differing opinions. I think everyone has a right to agree or disagree with my opinions. And, I am also wise enough to know that my views aren't always right, but they are mine. And, I'm entitled to them.
The liberal in me believes:
-women should have the right to abortion.
- that the environment is worth saving.
-that no one person should be discriminated against due to race, religion, gender, sexual orientation or age.
- that gay marriage should be equal to straight marriage.
- that we should help those people that are in need of an extra hand.
- that one person's religious views should not be forced on another, nor does it belong in schools or government.
- in some sort of gun control.
- that every American should pay taxes.
- in Social Security.
-that good health care should not be about your ability to pay.
-that killing animals should never have any thing to do with a sport.
The American in me believes:
-that we should pledge allegiance to the flag.
-that our country is worth fighting terrorists.
-every person should have a vote.
-every person has the right to pursue happiness.
-the economy is strong and will do better without government ownership
And, mostly, I believe that if you don't agree with any of my opinions above, we can still be friends. Let's just agree to not talk about W.
