Watch What You Say.

I have something pretty shocking to say, something that most people on both sides of the line are going to think is a little crazy, but right this second I feel very strongly about it. I need to say that I am sure Obama would not even agree with me, not that I know him personally and can proclaim to know what he would or would not think. The closest I have ever come to meeting this man is in a dream I had about having an affair with him (sorry Michelle). In my defense I think he was single in the dream, and I have, also, had dreams where I hung out with Sarah Pallin. Other than her political views, I think she is pretty awesome.
What I have to say is this. I live in the south, Alabama to be more precise, and, as I have said before, my fiancé lives, literally, next door to a family that is notoriously racist. I will not go into details, because I cannot bring myself to think about it. Unfortunately, there are still a lot of people in the world who think this way. It is sad, and I do not understand it, but I cannot deny that it is there. Because there are still so many crazy people in the world, I think people should learn to watch what they say. I also think that people in higher authority should take charge of such things, and put a stop to them before things get out of control.
If I was voting, for a president on non-political issues, I would still vote for Obama, because I feel that the Republican people, party and Candidate are doing this country an injustice by not taking control of some of these horrendous things that are circulating about Obama, things that have been proven to be blatant lies. I understand that they want people to vote for McCain, and some of the things they say and do, I understand. Bash his economic policy, his health care policy, etc., those things I understand. But letting their people spread untrue rumors; like he is a terrorist and other things that could get him killed, is irresponsible. The big thing I really want to say is that if anything happens to him because of these rumors, everyone who spread them should be held accountable for them. I say this knowing that some of these people are my friends and family. I don’t know what the punishment should be, but they should be punished.
I am disappointed that McCain has not stepped up, been a man, addressed these things, and went on about his campaign. If I were running, I would not want to associate my campaign with such things. Whether or not he agrees with these things, though some of them his people have started them themselves, or not he needs to say he doesn’t, tell people to focus on the issues and grow up, and then go on about his real issues.
We are not in high school any more people; things like this can affect people’s lives. It is defacement of Obama’s character and should be dealt with accordingly. We as US citizens need to learn to take responsibility for our actions, and the actions of our leaders. These last few elections have gotten completely out of control, and we need to fix the system. We as a society need to stop caring about how much money Sarah Pallin and Michelle Obama paid for their clothes and care more about how we are going to pick our society up out of this muddy whole we have dug for ourselves, and to do it we have to start acting like rational, logical, adults, not like sixteen year olds who are guided by our over stimulated hormones.
We have become a society that reaches for the gossip mags instead of the newspaper, and our leaders are treating us as such. They know that people tend to care about how many babies Angelina Jolie is having or not having, than what their government is really doing, that is why they try and distract us with such BS. Don’t get me wrong, both sides do it that is the sad part. The worse part is that with each election worse and worse things are being said, things that could really hurt someone. No one is going to kill John McCain for not knowing how many homes he has, but there is someone crazy enough to believe Obama is a terrorist especially if Republicans keep saying it is so. They know it is not true, most intelligent people on this planet know it is not true, but some groups of peoples are going to hear this, think it is true and do some thing about it, and it is going to be each and every person’s, that participated in spreading the lies, fault and they should be punished for it. You cannot just say anything you want, about someone and expect there not to be consequences. I understand that each and every person that says these things cannot be punished, but for some reason I feel it is important for me to tell them that they should be.
