"What is it that you like about Barack Obama?" I don't even know what to think anymore... I have a good friend who is a liberal. Actually, I have very many friends who are of the liberal persuasion. I may disagree with them on a lot of issues but they are still my friends that I love to no end. In fact, although we disagree on nearly every political issue, I would still fight to the death to defend their right to speak their minds. They are humans too, they are Americans too, and the first amendment applies to them as well.
It's like I said, you got to love them. Without them you wouldn't have anyone to laugh at or entertain yourself. For instance, just recently, I kindly questioned a liberal friend of mine who's name will remain anonymous, on their beliefs. I sent this person a message on myspace.com (An internet networking site)I simply asked, "What is it that you like about Barack Obama?"
Simple question right? I even made it easy on this Lib, I gave anonymous a multiple choice question I listed a large variety of topics that Obama supported. I didn't even make this young scholar* research the issues Obama stands for, I stinkin' listed them for anonymous, all he/she had to do was point out the ones that tickled their fancy. And what did anonymous do? Anonymous wrote back to me and said "I am sorry that you cannot respect others opinions when they view things differntly then you thank you for the email" (Not that I am much of one to talk but notice; differently was spelled incorrectly.)
Then to top it all off, to put the icing on the cake if you will, this person DE-FRIENDED ME! Yes, you heard it correctly, they removed me from their "myspace friends list" and blocked me from being able to even view her profile! Then she deleted my message I sent her in response. (Oops cats out of the bag anonymous is a girl).
I am sorry but if you are a Liberal, you should be embarrassed by this person! She is one of your species, she is from the same church you grew up in, and she is makig a butt out of your whole religion! I mean honestly how mature can a college student who pays enough attention to politics to pick a favorite candidate be? If you support something you sure as heck better be able to stand up for it. after all it has been truthfully said, "If you don't stand for something you will fall for anything."
And that is just it. This girl will fall for anything! She just did and all because she cant even stand on her own convictions enough to defend her own opinion in a friendly, healthy debate. Shame on you!
Now I know some of you might be thinking "well you may have worded your e-mail in an offensive way" But if you are honestly that interested I have the e-mails saved and I will gladly send you them with her name blanked out so you can judge for yourself. And if you are thinking about asking who this girl is, you can forget about it. She is my friend regardless and I will not release that information. I would never go out of my way to embarass or humiliate one of my friends, I am not a Liberal!
