Someone (I forget who) recently expressed a friendly interest on what my political views are. |
|
I am a life long Democrat.
When I was little, my parents used to tell me that the Democrats were better because "they are for the poor people".
I believe in equal rights for all. And I mean ALL.
I believe in giving until it hurts to those less fortunate than myself.
I believe in a single payer health care system.
I do not believe in war except to protect from an imminent threat.
That being said, I have deep respect for our military, for we could not exist peacefully without them.
I believe that we should once again strive to be "the land of the free".
Dennis Kuchinich (spelling?) was my first choice.
I have tendancies toward Socialism.
That's all I can think of right now.

It happened when my father was 23 yrs old. I remember hearing about the Republican opposition when the oral history was re-told.

Now, I do like that a black man was elected...
I do not agree with everything that Obama has done, but I think he is measured, thoughtful, and so so intelligent.
I'm happy he won.
