Max inspired me to blog again. It’s been awhile. I want to
get back into this, but am afraid they would all be lashing out at something.
So we will see. My brother Max and I are
the exact same person. Sort of. Ha we
think pretty much think exactly the same. Only difference is, he is more
liberal, I am more conservative. I am
not Republican, I am not a Democrat. I support the person who I think has the
best plan. I don’t cowardly vocalize my opinion on Facebook for two reasons.
First, I was brought up that politics were a very private matter and you keep
your opinions to yourself because there is no effective argument in politics. Each
side has their opinion and neither will sway. So keep it to yourself, vote
privately, don’t tell people they are bad Americans, because they don’t vote,
and don’t use this many commas in a sentence….ever. Second. It’s tacky. I
wonder how many of you that based either
candidates on Facebook, would have the gumption to actually go out and protest
if you felt that strongly about it. Posting on Facebook is an excuse to post
garbage. Like Obama raised gas prices three dollars while he was in office the
first four years. That’s horse nears. Which brings me to a point.
The president of the US is not responsible, nor does he/she
have the power to control each and every decision that is made in this country.
Just because one person is in a certain office, doesn’t mean our country is
going down the crap shoot. If it did mean that, we would be 1940 Germany. I
hate when politics and religion mix. It used to be great. “In God we trust”,
was basically written in stone. There was a mutual understanding….sort of ish.
What I mean to say, is we live in this country because of our religious
freedom. That DOES NOT mean you get to judge and belittle those that are either
a different religion, or your same religion and see politics in a different
light. I hate, LOATHE Facebook
sometimes. I made a single post once on how I was tired of seeing garbage posts
like the one I previously stated, and got thrown into the lion’s den for it.
Most of the posts about either political party are incorrect and yet people use
them to bash not only the candidate, but anyone else who believes in that
person. I was toId I needed to move to Iraq and see how I liked it there and
was told I was un-American. For you to bash on me like that because you can hid
behind your stupid, standing in front of a mirror, Facebook profile, well that’s
proof Facebook is full of cowards.
My brother wrote that he was ashamed to be a Mormon because
of the hypocrisy that was going on that night. I wish he would have stated that
a little better. He meant he was ashamed of how some of the LDS communities/
people were portraying the entire religion, which affected him the very next
day. He has various, LDS disliking friends, and after seeing all the garbage (I
am really trying not to swear, how am I doing?) they made comments to him the
next day about it. Any missionary will tell you, Utah Mormons suck. Sorry. But
it’s a status thing. Being a Mormon in Utah is the thing to do. It’s easy.
Everyone does it, and yet we are hypocrites. I include myself in there. I
judge, I swear, I break the Sabbath. I am not perfect. I need to try harder.
But I respect people enough to not bash on them. Regardless of what my beliefs politically
are, I “trust in God”, and believe in our leaders. I believe in our LDS
leaders. They say support, and pray for our president, fine. Done. I am not
worried, I am not moving to Canada, and I am not bashing the president. He
doesn’t control the world. I wanted Romney to win. He had things I didn’t agree
with. He went back and forth on some things, but I thought his financial plan,
which at this point needs a lot of help, was better. But he didn’t win. I am
sad, because losing sucks, but I didn’t agree with him on every little aspect.
I hate the labels. I am going to trust that when our prophet says we can pray
and support whoever is in charge, things will work out. When he says it’s time
to not trust that man or women anymore, that’s when I will worry. There are so
many better things to stress about, than who is president of the United States.
I will worry about teaching Zach right and wrong. Worry about my family’s
future, and worry if my fantasy football team is going to win this week. Worrying
is stupid. Why not trust and believe in something. Trust in Katniss. Trust in
Hermione. Whomever you need to trust, do it. I will trust our LDS leaders and
follow what they say.
Thanks and GO RSL!
