let's talk about politics

"Are you left?

Are you right?

Pointing fingers, taking sides

When are we gonna realize?
We all bleed the same

We're more beautiful when we come together

We all bleed the same

So tell me why, tell me why

We're divided"

("Bleed the same" by Mandisa ... A very powerful song that everyone should listen to)

Hey guys!! I hope you all had a great Halloween. I am huge fan of October, and all the spooky things that come with it. I am sad it is already over, but hey, it's basically Christmas time now haha. 

(*** Disclaimer : You already know how I am with these kind of topics. I do not post with the intention of hurting or offending anyone. If there is something I say that does not sit right with you, please come talk to me [look down below to see where to find me]. As always, I will do my absolute best to be respectful, and I hope that you will be as well. Also, I will not be talking about specific politicians including the president. If you have any specific questions, again please come talk to me.)

Okay, I am going to be honest right now. This is definitely in my top three of my most nerve-wrecking blogs to post; however, you guys seem to like my little "series", "let's talk about _____". I figured why not talk about the political party I side with. I am not a political genius, but I am also not a political idiot. I know plenty about each party (what they are wanting to do, their opinions, what they like or don't like about America, etc.). My parents are both big into politics, and it is very normal for them to inform us of everything that is going on. I also get a lot of information from the internet obviously lol. 

So, what am I? Conservative? Liberal? Or independent? I feel like the answer is obvious, but if it is not, I am a conservative. Here's the thing though... As open as I am about believing in God, I am not that way about politics at all. Now, if someone asks, I won't hesitate to answer, but I do not freely talk about politics anywhere unless I know for certain the person has the same political beliefs that I do. To be completely honest, I hate political debates. I feel like just not talking about my political views is sometimes best, but as we see here, I am announcing it to all of you. As I mentioned, it took a lot of guts to push through and write this.

(My obsession with the sky continues lol. This time taken from a window in my house.)

Should I be this nervous? No. Should a liberal be? No. This world will always be full of people with varying views. Whether you are a conservative or liberal activists, you may convert some people to your side, but you will never convert 100%. There are some liberals who do not agree with other liberals. There are some conservatives who do not agree with other conservatives. I know I do not agree with everything regarding the Republican Party. It is just how this world is made. You know what? It does not always have to be the worst thing in the world. I have had / have many friends who are liberal, and it did not get in the way of our friendship. One of my very best friends is a very open liberal, and we never debate. We both know we have different political views, and we both know we won't change the other's mind. 

The rumor that conservatives hate certain people is just not true. When it comes to both sides, there will be people who hate. You have liberals who hate certain people and conservatives. You have conservatives who hate certain people and liberals. Does either the liberals or conservatives I just mentioned speak for their entire party? NO. I do not hate anyone. I don't care what your religion is,  what ethnicity you are, or what your sexuality is. I do not hate. At the end of the day, there will always be varying views, but we can still love everyone around us. As Mandisa said in her song, "We're more beautiful when we come together." 

Love the Liberals. Love the conservatives. Love the people in between. Love conquers all... even those who are hateful.
