Why I am less than pleased about the election

I don't like Obama's way of thinking. He's probably a decent person, a good father, and a nice husband but I still don't like his way of thinking. The fact that he is African-American has nothing to do with why I don't like him. He could be the Jolly Green Giant for all I care--I still don't like his way of thinking. It is nice that racial prejudices have gone away and that people are not as prejudice as they once were--but I still don't like his way of thinking. He had a good campaign and accepted his win graciously--but I still don't like his way of thinking. He promised his daughters they could have a puppy. That's cute--but I STILL don't like his way of thinking.

I hope I have made my point here. I don't agree with him, which is why I did NOT vote for him. You're supposed to vote for someone you agree with.

"What don't you agree with, Steph?"

A big thing is the "Share the Wealth" attitude he has. I don't think that is right.
If a person has earned his or her money legally he or she has the right to keep it for his or herself. They have the right to buy an expensive house, a crazy car, an elephant--whatever the crap they want. They've worked for the money so they deserve to use it how they want.

"Uh-ugh-b-b-but-what about the poor people?"

Of course those people should NOT be forgotten. Charities and other social programs are certainly important to help those who are truly in need.

"But we should MAKE the rich give some money to the poor!"

NO! That's not right!!! If they don't want to give then it is their right to not give.

"But that's not very Christlike on their part."

Yeah, you're right. But they have free agency too. If they choose to keep their money and not give it then that is their right. However, if they feel like giving, they deserve the right to donate to a charity or whatever. THE POINT IS THAT IT IS NOT RIGHT TO FORCE PEOPLE TO SHARE THE WEALTH!!!

There's another thing that bothers me. Actually, it probably bothers me MORE than sharing the wealth. I am honestly worried that our country will be attacked again. I am afraid that the world will see us as weak and that our enemies will use this to our advantage and try to further weaken us. Withdrawing the troops early shows that we are quitters. Who wants to be a quitter? I don't.

"But Steph, now European countries like us again."

WHO CARES? No seriously, who freakin' cares? There's a whole ocean between us. The fact that Sweden likes us again won't be a comfort if and when we get attacked by terrorists again.



There's tough times ahead, my friends. I don't know what will happen, as no one does. I do love our country and that is why I want what is best. I did not vote for Obama because I do not think he is the best man for the job. However, what's done is done, and I hope he turns out to be a good ruler after all. As of now, though, I am very, very scared.
