I just want to point out not every person that votes right, is an asshole. I am a loose conservative. I have been one since I was little.

Hardcore. And that is from life experiences, having lived in the third world and seeing death and devastation beyond what I ever knew existed. I love this country and I'd die for her. But don't ever think that I wouldn't turn on my government, or her people for standing on the neck of lady liberty. Because I would, in hot minute. I used to think that the only way to fight the power was to stick out, and hoot and holler like every young rebel without a clue. But I learned that the older you get the more you need to blend in, in order to do real damage. I just choose to hold on to as much of my money, as I can, I work for what I have and I WILL NOT BE ROBBED MY GOVERNMENT and forced to give my **** away. Because see that doesn't come from my heart, and my soul, there for it makes me a disingenuous do gooder without my consent. If I help people (and believe this I do every ****ing day of my life) It should be a decision I make from my heart, otherwise it is meaningless.
Now are you happy random pmers?
