So, here's the thing I'm grappling with. I am not liking people who are "bucking the system" and then expect everyone to bend to their ways. I see it in politics, I see it in the cinema/hollywood world, I see it in the everyday home-life world. It makes me nervous. I remember, growing up in a pretty consistent society, (not because of my own parents, but the everyday world), and there was always room for different. Now, it seems unless you're willing to wear a "Liberal" tatoo somewhere on your body, you are a religious, right wing, conservative, zealot.
I grew up liberal, I am a conservative. I have seen first hand what liberalism is. It is a life without tradition, it is a life with anger towards politics, it is a life of entitlement. How dare rich people have money, how dare they.
I was brought up to hate "Normal". I wanted "Normal" more than anything. I had wierd parents. I had a bohemian, wierd home life. I had "vocal" parents, when it came to issues. (I'll never forget being 13, and having my Mother preach to me and my girlfriends about AIDS)
It's wrong. It's the very judgement that "Liberals" preach not to do, and they ARE DOING IT!!!
It angers me. It makes me weary. It worries me. It's just like people who claim they're not prejudice, but then seem to pracitce it in reverse. I think if you must vocalize your opinion, there are polite ways of doing so. You don't have to alienate, hurt or yell to get your point across, otherwise, aren't you stooping to the very level you state you hate? Scary.
