I do. Call me a dreamer. Call me stupid. Say I am out of touch, that I deny reality, that I believe in fairy tales.....I do not care.
I believe that most people in this country want their children to have a better future than they themselves had in their youth.
I believe that love and goodness are more powerful than greed and avarice.
I believe most "christians" are good people who care more about their children than they care about their bank accounts.
I believe that no matter what gender you are and what gender you are attracted too, you hold the same hopes for the future of this country that everyone else does.
I believe that we are collectively...SICK. OF. IT. ALL.
I want healthcare for our children, our aged, and every one else. I want good schools, that teach scientific reality...not "faith based" insanity.
I want a country that applaudes it success stories, and comforts those that fail, because failure isn't the end...it's just one step towards success.
I believe my neighbors success is as important as my own, no matter who they love, where they come from, or what god they pray too.
I will not let the petty minded bastards sway my opinion.
I. AM. RIGHT. It's not often I can state this with authority, but I have no doubt about it in this circumstance.
I believe in the equality of all people. I will not be cowed, I will not be ashamed. I will not hide in fear. I will tell everyone I know, everyone I meet, and everyone who will listen (even if I must force them to do so) that MY COUNTRY is better than them, it's better than me, it's better than the best person I know.
It's time to scream it from the rooftops. They many win elections, but we are not going anywhere. We will always be here. Mock me, insult me, belittle me.
It. Does. Not. Matter. The difference between us and them is....We. Are. Right.
Never forget that, never doubt it, never waver. Freedom isn't free. Sometimes it "costs" a lot to stand up for what you believe in.
Tell the world, tell your friends, tell your family, tell your church.
Never be ashamed. Never back down. You are right. Your country needs you. Today more than ever.
I thank all of you who post here. You give me courage when my fear and shame threaten to overcome my rage.
Anger is an energy. Sometimes it's the only source of power I can find. There is nothing wrong with rage.....if you don't feel some at this time, drop the barriars and learn to accept reality.
