A House Divided Will Not Stand

***Note*** I agree that one has the freedom of speech. I don't care about the funny stuff posted on FB; I'm not harping on that... it's the ignorant shit... You know the kind... I respect my friends' opinions as I hope they respect mine. In the end, I still love u <3.

So, peoples, the election season is finally over... I think it is ironic, and damned hypocritical how we reacted as a country. Picture it... Summer 2012, we united as Amuricans cheering on our teams as they fought to bring the gold home... fast forward to Oct/Nov 2012... we are at each other's throats arguing and at time showing blatant hate and disregard towards candidates not of our choosing. Some folks actually argued with facts and were able to prove why they were supporting a certain candidate, and kept it classy and respectful... never discussing race. The interwebs is a wonderful thing, but it also serves as a reminder that there is ignorance out there. Some people do not know how to properly express their feelings without showing hate, ignorance, and embarrassment.

One team!!! Amurica!! If you don't like it, git out!          

We do not all have to agree. We are adults and can express our likes, dislikes, loves, and hates respectfully and with words... some of the negative things I have seen about Romney and Obama disgust me. Both men campaigned hard and fought for an office that most of us do not ever want to sit in. While I will not disclose whom I voted for, I will say as an undecided voter, both men came with it hard, and me googling things to make sure I understood what was being said. I will not claim to be politically savvy, but I also will not defend my vote to anyone. I knew which issues were important to me and voted accordingly.

That all being said, President Obama is still running this country. No one's perfect. I feel expectations were higher than they should have been for the first four years of his term. We were in two wars... wars cost money. Congress declares war. We as Amuricans were all for it in the beginning. Saying, "Get the friggin Taliban, Al-Qaeda, and anyone on the FBI's terrorist watch list!"If Romney was elected, I believe he would've had a rough start as well with the country recovering from one war, still in the second one, and possibly moving into other conflicts because our enemies see our weaknesses. We fight intracountry instead of having the mentally of WE AMERICANS vs ANYONE WHO WANTS TO FUCK WITH US, we fight within ourselves and selfishly fight against our president instead of trying to help as whole.

The hate we provoke.

Maybe I am too Little House on the Prairie with my thinking because I know we will not come together as a country like we did when 9/11 occurred or during the Olympic games, but just think about it... U.S. = US. Our country has evolved and changed from since the Constitution and Declaration of Independence were written. There are more problems in the world that affect us as a nation. Write to your Congressmen/women. Bug the hell out of them until they do SOMETHING!

More hate we provoke...

More bad things, but about former Pres. Bush

Sorry for prolonging this, but it's not often I get upset. I swore to protect and defend this nation with my life so for that price, I will put in my two cents. You can agree to disagree... again these are some of my personal thoughts, but we need to get over the election, support this country, and show the world why America has always been a force to be reckoned with. There is no other country as diverse as ours. We celebrate each other's cultures, we cheer on each other, and we fight together. We are AMERICANS. One country... indivisible...
