The Unbearable truth.

      First of all let me say if your not honest enough to read this post with an open mind stop now.  Those of you who really know me know that I may make a lot of noise from time to time, but basically I am a very open minded individual.  I try to make informed honest decisions based on my understanding of the realities at hand.  Recently a few things are really pissing me off and so I am going to expound on them a little.

     The Presidential race.  First of all frankly we are stuck with TWO candidates that will not be good for the country.  As I see it you will have to chose between the lesser of two evils.  My choice obviously is Romney, not because I am a Republican, but because I believe that at least he likes America.  I worked for a company that was purchased by Bain Capitol and divested while Romney was CEO and I can say with out a doubt he didn't have a clue what goes on with the day to day operations of Bain Capitol, and if he did, he wouldn't care anyway.  Bain Capitol buys and sells companies, re-organizes, and divests the investments it makes exploiting the tax and business laws as they are written here in the United States.  They are in the business to make money for their shareholders.  That my friends is not Romney's fault, but the fault of all of the elected officials who have manipulated the laws to that end.  The last I heard it was not illegal to run a business and make a profit.  How businesses are allowed to do that is based upon our current laws and if you don't like that then it's time to elect a group of people who are going to change that.
      I don't care what his views are on same sex marriage.  Time and again the opinion is expressed by presidential candidates and it has no effect on my life.  The gay community has yet to provide a respectfully organized movement to work toward marriage equality and until it does, all the marching and whining and voting for a particular candidate who gives lip service to the issue is just a waste of time and it pisses off the people who are against it.As far as Obama repealing the Don't ask Don't tell law with regard to sexual orientation while serving in the military. Big deal.  We all know that there are more men and women serving in the military that are gay, than have come forward and admitted it.  I absolutely believe that those fantastic individuals that serve in the armed forces don't care what sex you are sleeping with.  They want to know that you will serve to the best of your ability and have their back when it counts. In the military, above all else while serving to protect our way of life and provide security for our country and other countries who are unable to protect themselves.  Sexual orientation has no place.  Just watch the movie A Few Good Men, and at the very end after the verdict is read and one of the privates questions the verdict, the other one explains they serve to protect those who can't protect themselves and they failed that duty.    When it comes to abortion, guess what, I don't have a uterus and I don't believe that those who don't have one, should be involved in this argument. Leave it up to the women, they bear children, let them fight amongst themselves and figure this out.   
     I support Romney for one reason and one reason only.  I believe that he supports the American Way of life.  Our rights, Our beliefs, Our laws.  Our right to make choices in our own lives.  It's our job to elect a group of congressmen and senators who will fight for our beliefs as well, and that my friends we fail to do in every single election. 
    As far as Obama is concerned.  He scares me.  I have read COUNTLESS articles that he has written, his books and some of the speeches that he has made throughout his career.  Frankly. I don't believe that he respects or believes in the American way of life.  One of the things that distresses me the most is some of the people who support him are among the most intelligent people that I know.  With truly noble and respectable beliefs that are good for America, and they attach their support to someone who blatantly gives lip service to their causes so that he can win votes.  They are smarter than that, they deserve better than that, and so does the American people.  Frankly I think he embarrasses the United States as much as George Bush ever did. 
     I am a small business owner.  Yes I chose this life and I am proud that I did.  I am intelligent enough to know that it was going to be a struggle to start a new business in this economy.  Electing Obama threatens my way of life more than electing Romney does.  We have a bill of rights that provides us with the OPPORTUNITY to live as we choose.  The OPPORTUNITY it is up to us to make the best of it, and to protect that bill of rights.  Obama's basic beliefs circumvent this bill of rights. 
    One thing I hope all of you remember.  If I count you as one of my friends, and allow you to become one of my friends, I respect your beliefs regardless of what they are, you are my friend because I value you as a person, not because of your political beliefs or your sexual orientation, what nationality you are or the color of your skin.I do not take our differences to a personal level.  You are my friend because I like you and respect you.  Just the way you are.
