I am a big believer in equal rights for all. Not just men, not just women, not just whites, not just blacks—and certainly not just for heterosexual couples. I know that sounds weird coming from a happily married heterosexual woman. However, I have many family members and friends who are gay, lesbian, or bisexual, and I think that they should most certainly have the same rights as couples, as I do in my heterosexual relationship. Every Christian person I talk to refutes that by saying, “Don’t you know what the Bible says about homosexuality? It’s wrong!!” Of course I know what the Bible says about homosexuality. As stated before, I’ve been to church since I was six years old, and am well aware of what the Bible says. However, I raise you this: I don’t care if the country was supposedly founded on Christian principles. Now, in the year 2008, in this country, we are Christians, Atheists, Jews, Catholics, Agnostics, Buddhists, Hindus, and every religion in between. We do not all worship the same god. So, why should those in America who aren’t Christian, have to live under laws inspired by the Christian God? Though we do not all worship the same god, and we don’t all live by the Bible, we in America, do however, live under the document that says “ALL men were created equal.” That’s right, ALL. It doesn’t say “Straight, white, conservative men were created equal.” The word “all” is inclusive of everyone. Also, I think it’s wrong to want to take away the rights of one group of people. If you’re going to take away the rights of homosexuals, why not take a step back and take away the rights of blacks, or a step farther back and take away the rights of women? It’s illogical. It makes no sense. Barack Obama is willing to allow civil unions, and give those couples the same rights as heterosexual couples, which I wholeheartedly agree with.

Now, as for the rights of women, I want to speak on the right to choose abortion or not, as someone who is 75% pro-choice and 25% pro-life. Some extreme conservatives want to do away with abortion 100%. I, however, believe that the government shouldn’t have so much control over a woman’s body. I keep being told that it is a very low percentage, but there are cases of incest, rape, and medical emergencies that a woman should have the right to opt for an abortion. However, living in a county with a high rate of teen pregnancies, I do not condone the option of abortion for promiscuous teens that go having sex with anyone, then say “Oops, I got pregnant. Time for an abortion!” I’ve been asked, then, if I think pre-marital sex is wrong. I have responded that I think it’s up to the couple, and that if they are going to have sex, they need to practice birth control. Speaking of which, Barack Obama wants to make access to birth control easier. I think that Obama’s pro-choice stance with easier access to birth control is the right balance.

Healthcare is another hot issue that I used when choosing who to support. As someone who doesn’t have healthcare because it is unaffordable, I support Obama’s plan to make healthcare easily accessible (without discrimination for pre-existing illnesses,) more affordable, and simple. I especially love that he is mandating that there be mandatory coverage of children, where they can be covered on their parents’ insurance until the age of 25. I think that’s reasonable, as 25 is a good age, because most students will be done with college, and can afford healthcare on their own then.

Furthering education is becoming less and less important to high school graduates, due to the debt that post-high school institutions cause. Senator Obama wants to fix that. His plan is to create an American Opportunity Tax Credit by simplifying the process for financial aid, ensure that the first $4000 of the student’s education is completely free, and will cover two-thirds of the cost of the student’s tuition at average public colleges and university, therefore making college pretty much free for anyone who wants to attend.

One of my main issues, and the issues of many people is not having a good job. Barack Obama wants to improve that by creating programs that will help low-income Americans to climb the ladder in the workforce, increase minimum wage (which is something we are seeing now,) increase sick days, provide tax relief, help single parents, and promote responsible fatherhood. These are just few of the good ideas Senator Obama has about improving jobs and job quality.

The last main reason I chose to support Senator Obama is his plan to bring our troops home. While he wants to be careful about how it is done, he at least has a plan. His plan is to end this war, and at one or two brigades at a time, pull out, and have them all out in sixteen months. While I think that setting something that sounds like a deadline is dangerous, I believe that Senator Obama would come through on this responsibly and victoriously.

i had quite a good laugh....enjoy

What a fine representative of Liberty University she is.

okie dokie...

[Hold My Own]

yeah hence why I had to use the symbols when I called you one...

[RubberMallet]

when did you call me one..

[RubberMallet]

and now its come full circle....i was like who calls people "smart jerks"....

[Hold My Own]

the other thread after you're "wecome to the internet" that was a real smartjerk thing to say!!! Even if it wasnt to me!


Your right this site is gold!!!!

Being an adult sucks. Being an incompetent adult sucks even more. Right now, I feel inadequate. I don't have a job, and it's becoming increasingly hard to get one. I think I could go seek out one better if I had a license. That's right... I'm still not driving. It's incredibly annoying, but still not really my fault. No one's taught me yet, and it makes me angry. I want to go to a behind the wheel class and just get it, but that requires money, which we are lacking right now, due to my said job lackage. But seriously, I need a license.

I wonder if she has false hopes that some how Obama is going to:

1. Get her a job
2. Teach her to drive


I hope not




EDIT: UGH OH Sly I think I found a crack in our armor

EDIT2: Dang that didnt take long...geez

[jcmanson]

Randall stayed at our house last night, so he could wake up and go with us to the Obama HQ opening in downtown Lynchburg.

You missed one

[Hold My Own]

[LUconn]

She's married, so it's allowed for there to be someone staying there.

Also HMO, I was refraining from making fun of that entire post until I was sure she wasn't coming back. Because it's funny.

[RubberMallet]

on a serious note...if people are sending her threatening messages and whatnot thats not right and they are worse people than she is....in all fairness she is entitled to her opinion regardless of how insane you or i may think it is...

that being said, i'm leary of these threats she's receiving as she probably perceived us posting her picture as a "threat"...

[jcmanson]

Barackstars.

[RubberMallet]

due to my said job lackage

like the chaz barkley always says...."Poor People have been voting for Democrats for the last 50 years,
............and they are still poor"

LOLerskates, it's not her fault. This is the liberal base right here. It's not her responsibility to learn how to drive. It's somebody elses to teach her.

uh oh sly's in here...everyone on their best behaviour

This thread is spiraling out of control.

Sly be slow to lock...this has all the makings for thread of the year!!!!

[LUconn]

This thread is spiraling out of control.

I tried to be nice at first to try to coax the pretty new pet (tommy boy reference) to come back, but then it was obvious that she wouldn't because of her grand reception. And then the live journal link was just out of this world. It's almost like a parody.

[Hold My Own]

The Live Journal link is like a legend that cant simply be true, but then you click and find out that it is indeed true!



Yeah, she's not coming back...I mean she said it herself she doesnt have a job, so it's not like she doesnt have time to get on here and start a debate if she so wanted to...she may be out of dot matrix fliers though, after she's reloaded she'll be back...I dont know, we'll have to wait and see

[Fumblerooskies]

Sly...this is most entertaining. I see it not a knock against her but against ALL the Obama-ites. I would love to see one of them come on here and present an intelligent argument on his behalf.
(it IS OK to still use a small "h" for "his" when referring to Obama, right?)
