Let Me Tell You About Myself

I will tell you I am a Hispanic female, lesbian, I have had an abortion before I realized I was free to love whomever I wanted. I was raised in a religious family but now I am an atheist. I am a progressive democrat, I believe taxes should be raised on anyone making $250,000 or more. I believe government should pass laws to protect me from corporations. I believe in a government to do things that I can not do on my own.

Do you hate me yet?? Need more??

I believe in a school system that pays their teachers a honest salary, not based on numbers that are pulled out of the air. I do not believe in wars fought for oil or any minerals. I believe that everyone should be tried for the crimes they commit. From the president on down. That is only fair to everybody in this country.

I believe in free speech. With that freedom comes responsibility on the person exercising that freedom. If you get on the airwaves and promote your beliefs that is fine, but you better be able to back that up with facts if called out on it. There is no hiding behind a spokesperson, not taking calls, hiding your email address, not answering your mail. No hiding after you come out. If you want to hide then keep your beliefs to yourself.

I believe government should help the people in this country that are having trouble with life, for whatever reason. Don't do it for them but help them to get on their feet. I believe everyone should be able to believe whatever they wish to believe, If those beliefs harm someone then they need to rethink their beliefs. I believe that everyone is different than anyone else. I believe that everyone is equal, even though you may not understand them or care for them.

I think this is enough for you to hate me for now. I sometimes wonder how I make it through my day with all the people with sticks, stones , and guns that hate me. This country is so filled with hate I wonder how everyone gets through their days. This hate comes from the president on down. Our leaders have promoted and allowed for the hate to grow in this country for years and have done nothing to stop it, in fact they have thrown more onto the fire.

They will tell you they are doing everything they can, but those are lies. For the most part their biggest concern is how to get elected again, how to protect themselves, how to fill their pockets with ill gotten gains, and how to protect the party they associate with. They play their games and think they are really doing something..

I am tired of all the hate, I am tired of all the fear, I am tired of all the games. I want my country back, I want it back now. I am tired of people telling me I have to believe as they do. If you want me to believe then you better have something besides your beliefs to convince me. If not, then you better get out of my way because I am done with you. I am tired of all these people that every other word out of their mouths is god this or god that. They would not know god if he tapped them on the shoulder and asked them for some help.

It is time to get angry, it is time to push back, it is time to get our country back.
