Why I Am A Conservative

No, I am not evil, I am a conservative.

Why I Am A Conservative

No, I am not a misogynist, bigot or anti-progressive because I lack the same viewpoints of the left. There are several reasons why I never identified with liberal Democrats and all of them are quite simple: I hold conservative principles close to my heart and am pragmatic when it comes to achieving these principles.

Let me explain why I am not a liberal. Simply put, liberal values do not make sense to me. For example, liberals support mass Muslim immigration, which runs counter to other things they stand for. Muslims believe in suppressing women’s rights, but you’ll still see feminist support their integration into American society. I just think it’s funny how they are so against the “patriarchy” in America but support a group that follows Sharia Law which basis comes from “patriarchy.” And gays, why do you support people immigrating into your country who believe your lifestyle should be a crime? This all just seems counterintuitive to me.

Let’s also talk about gun control. I call on every politician that believes in regulations on guns to walk around with no armed security in the most dangerous parts of the country. As a matter of fact, let’s just abolish the Secret Service because guns are so dangerous, or give them water guns instead and teach them persuasive techniques on how to stop sick-minded individuals from committing crimes. Yeah, that should work. Lets also point out that the most damaged cities in the country, for example Detroit, keep voting democrats into office and see things become worse. Maybe it’s time for a change -- am I right, progressives? Oh and to the Black Lives Matter liberals who talk about killing cops and play rap anthems when they riot, as liberals you aren’t suppose to support the carrying of guns and blasting the heads off people. But hey, I guess this is what happens when a huge part of the democratic base lives off the government and expects college to be free.

I am a Conservative because I believe that every human has great potential. I believe that big government ruins this potential because it expects less of people and leaves everything up to itself instead of allowing it’s people to work hard for what they want. I also do not trust today’s “intellectuals” in deciding our progressive future. Liberals want immediate change and that is not possible. We need to learn from our past and those who came before us instead of destroying traditions that this country has valued for years upon years. Simply put, I do not support handouts. I am for family, and against abortion. I am for the ownership of guns. I support our police, firefighters and veterans. I desire to keep American principles in America instead of making this a hotbed for radical ideologies. So call me what you want all because my ideas don’t match yours, but I am a conservative and I couldn’t be prouder of my view on how this country should be.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
