Do you feel that when you talk to your friends about what's going on in our country they put a big "I don't get it" tee shirt on? Well I do and it drives me insane!!! I can't stand the fact that when I just mention something that's happening in the news my friends look at me as if I have to be crazy about politics to listen to the news once in a while or even read the headlines in the newspaper. You don't! And then the only response I get is "yeah well they're all just silly" or my favorite "What do I care I'm just a kid". Well I'll tell you why you should care! This is not about whether you like politics or whether your parents are Republicans or Democrats. (They are not the same by the way just to let you know, Republicans don't have radical Communists in their party) But back to my point. If you care even the slightest bit about how much you are gonna have to pay in taxes when you're older, or about whether you will have a job when your older, or even about what your country is gonna look like by the time you are all grown up you will listen to whats going on around you. You would think that that statement alone would be enough to wake up even your most stubborn friend, but shockingly it is not. I have repeatedly explained to my friends (In plain English) what Obama and the left in Washington plan to do and how it will effect them and their families in the future. And yet they still dismiss me as if I'm just some sort of crazzzy nut job. Well maybe I am crazy, but these are the same people who believe that nut job Al Gore when he tells them "Don't shoot that basketball too high! You'll bring down acid rain!" Why is it that we must believe a guy wearing a tin foil hat telling us the world is gonna end unless we all run out and purchase new priuses, but we won't listen to guys who tell us to look around at what's going on for our futures sake??? But I digress (Breathhhhh everything will be alright) As hopeless as these people may seem to be the answer is not to just give up. No one likes a quitter, so instead we must persist and try harder to get the message through loud and clear. And if we have to use colorful illustrations so be it, but lets not give up on these people now because I for one don't want to have to deal with them when they're all complaining about not having a job or how high their taxes are. To those complaints my juvenal answer will be "I told you so"
GO TO PERSON
ReplyDeleteEvery family should have a “go to” person who can give answers to political and issue concerns, as suggested by Rush Limbaugh. Learning how means starting at the roots, the beginnings and differences between two sides of the same coin, which is all there is. One side is long established, where the few rule the many, irrespective of their labels. The other side is the newest, that of individual freedom and limited government. Why do many follow each side, and why the conflict between them? What side do current issues come from, such as health care, cap and trade as well as amnesty for illegal immigrants? What side of the coin most impacts the lives of your family, to whom you provide the answers? Call up claysamerica.com for the roots of both sides and improve your understanding of the issues so you have the answers. Claysamerica.com
