Unwritten

I am most definitely out of my element living in California (only in the political aspect mind you).

I still consider myself republican, not because i believe 100% behind the republican ideals, but because my values and governmental ideas are more reflected in the republican stance.

However, living in California is a tough road. Most people believe i’m Democrat, but really none of the democratic candidates nor the democratic agendas seem to reach out to me. Also, the Democratic machine to me is full of holes, full of random miss communication as well as very pushy attitudes (course that could just be my experience).

Democrats seem to be all about negative reinforcement… and i’m very anti negative reinforcement. I’m the kinda guy who only gets more angry with it. The more you tell me i cannot do something, the more likely i will find some way to do it. you tell me not to eat meat and that i’m stupid, i will roast a pig in front of your house and eat it with its blood still dripping off the meat.

I dont know where im going here, but i just sat through a 20 minute spiel from a coworker on the evils of McDonalds, the evils of shopping at any place that gave money to the republican party, the evils of anything that goes against what she stands for. What ever happened to acceptance of all? What kind of bullshit doubletalk is that to push your right to a lifestyle choice, when you bash others for a different lifestyle choice?

So i sit here in silence, letting her get her narrow views out into the open. My views are my own, unlike her i dont need to seek out random statistics, one sided movies, and skewed research to feel good about my views.

Shes free to be who she wishes, and if she wishes to believe that “people like me” need to be saved.. then so be it. Hmm.. Religion, Politics.. is there really a difference?
