Political Racist?
I have been troubled for many years on why we must still have Democrat and Republican groups. I have read that the basic difference is that Republicans follow a conservative philosophy and Democrats follow a liberal philosophy. How can this be? If I talk to a republican, they have different views that lean toward being liberal. And if I talk to a Democrat they have different views that lean toward being conservative. I think that the entire Democrat vs. Republican government is just one big joke.
To show my point....I have an uncle that is die hard Republican. He had met this man that was democrat. He had no idea that the man was democrat. After meeting him, he was talking about how great and wonderful the guy was. He agreed on different views and was just over all pleased in meeting him. But a couple of months later he learned that the man he meet was a democrat. My uncle's tone changed, he thought that he was such a terrible man, and didn't want anything to do with him. If there is such a thing as being political racist, I would put my uncle in that category. I just wonder if he would give his vote for a dog if the dog turned out to be republican!
As for the war in Iraq. I think that the Iraqis did need help getting Saddam Hussein out of power. But I don't feel that the U.S. should have went over the United Nations head. That was a terrible mistake. Now if the U.S. will ever need help from another country, do you think they will jump at the chance to help us? Heck no, they now hate us! But because we must have the democrat and republican groups, there is no way a true republican will say anything bad about what George Bush is doing. It just wouldn't be in the nature of a true politician to turn on his/her own group.
It is really hard for me to find a bright side of this subject, but I'll try. On the bright side of things, I am neither a Republican nor a Democrat, so I can stand back and watch what is going on in this world with open eyes. And base my opinion on how I personally feel, not because my party says so!
