The conservatives:
Most are relatively well off, meaning a home, food on the table, a car, running water with a place to shower, a decent job and a family who will love and support them. Most pretty much live in a bubble and have no idea what true, poverty stricken people go through.
Most are mainly concerned about their money with the veneer of using abortion and gay rights as a moral standard to uphold. The whole time things are perfectly black and white, no in between! (A woman's body would never let the semen of rape impregnate her, dontcha know! ) They say they care, yet I don't see anyone who really needs help, living with any of them. Funny the way it is!
They say they are pro-life, yet when I bring up the fact that millions of children already out of the womb, are murdered by war, they sort of repudiate my argument.
They say they are in favor of the right to carry guns. Yet when there are random and senseless shootings time after time, they are silent and defend their inanimate weapons, not seeming to show pity on the victims other than "that's so horrible. But remember, it's the person that killed, not the gun." hmmmmmmm....go figure.
The liberals:
I like to call this group "Champagne Liberals" because most have beautiful homes, say they care about the poor, (not even realizing that term has drastically changed) but just like the conservatives, I don't see any of them living with or caring for someone in real need. I see them supporting the poor from afar, giving money to their favorite charities, yet no one seems to want to invite someone to actually live with them.
They say they are for "social justice" yet they don't seem to realize that some "so called" disadvantaged people know exactly how to manipulate the system, get food stamps, have a big screen tv, cell phone, nice car and wait for their welfare checks to see them through in between their "deals".
The reason why my liberal friends don't know this is because they too, just like the conservatives, are way out of touch with the reality of what is actually going on in our country.
Here I feel like I should make you aware of some awesome people who pretty much keep their political views to themselves, but they are a true example of social justice. They invited a young person to come and live with them, be a part of their family in the true sense. This is a young person who really didn't have a place to live that was healthy and loving, stable and supportive, now he does. The Martins, who are a pretty awesome family, are not rich, they have four kids of their own, and yet they did this.
People like the Martins are few and far between. They give me hope that people really can put their ideals into practice. They take the risk.
So here we are, another election, another time for people to divide even more so. I truly think our country is coming to a place where we will be another "has been". Another world power that has fallen down a rung on the ladder of history. Why? Because it's soooo true...a house divided cannot stand.
Funny the way it is if you think about it.........
