I’m not one for “politics”, but I am one for democracy.
By “politics”, I mean the kind where discourse becomes extremist and too intense for an actual enlightening discussion.
I might not be one for “politics”, but I am one for sitting on the edge of my seat, watching the results after a country speaks their voice in votes. Actually, quick side note, I adore my FB newsfeed this time of year when friends scream “vote or die”, “Roseanne Barr”, or “Vote Bill Self (KU Basketball coach) for president”. The spirit tickles me.
I said in a previous post that I’ve always been a lover of “words”; but I’m saying in this post, I can also see past them.
I see through rhetoric. I see through jargon. I see through speech making formulated strategically to elicit certain emotions and actions out of people. I know the majority of American’s are intelligent enough to do the same. (Yes, extremist Republican’s, you are just as emotional as extremist Democrat’s)
We have to know, as verbal beings, that speaking well does not necessarily correlate with running a country well.
We have to know.
We have to know that just because someone votes Republican does not mean their anti-abortion.
We have to know that just because someone votes Democrat does not mean their big government.
We have to know that voting Republican does not mean we go back to our Founding Father’s principles and stick to what our constitution said in the 18th century.
We have to know that voting Democrat does not mean we forget our constitution and become a socialist country.
AND lastly, we must, must know that once the rhetoric is all said and done, for a president in the USA to be successful, they’ll most likely become moderate to appease the masses.
So, on my one and only semi-political post, go out and vote! I don’t care who for, just remember history has the unsurprising ability to repeat itself.
Rock the vote baby,
Jenstonia – yeah, I still don’t like “politics”
