The Real Democratic Mindset

Does anyone know?

The Real Democratic Mindset

The million dollar question is, “why?”

As a right-wing supporter, a strong-minded individual and an American citizen, there are certain morals, beliefs and values for which I stand by without hesitation. However, I love hearing opposing beliefs. My extremely open mind is always searching for those who think differently. It intrigues me to know why others think the way that they do. Understanding both sides of an issue allows us, as individuals, to think from different perspectives. Perhaps we could learn something and sometimes it can even cause us to change our mind. Imagine that. Having an open mind and being susceptible to other's opinions is a beautiful thing. More people should practice this concept.

If you are a left-wing individual, I’m thrilled to be able to pick your brain apart. I am also desperately hoping to find good reasoning for your opinions. All I ever want to know is “why” when it comes to politics. If you notice, Democrats never have the answer.

They will protest you to the end, but you'll never know why. They themselves don't know why.

As a Republican, here are some of our basic, core values:

We fight for small business.

We do not support a large government.

We stand firmly by the second amendment.

We expect to be given the rights that are stated for us in the Bill of Rights.

We do not agree with Obamacare.

We believe in a strong military.

We firmly believe that no one should live in this country without being a naturalized, legal citizen.

We do not believe in free handouts for those who are taking advantage of us.

And the list goes on…

Now, what do Democrats believe in? I wholeheartedly wish I knew. There are only a few concepts that I can come up with. Here it goes...

They do not believe in war (even when necessary).

They stand vigorously for gay rights.

They believe everyone should be equal, in every sense of the word.

They do not believe in the second amendment.

Have you ever noticed how Liberals spend most of their time opposing our conservative beliefs, instead of standing up for their own? This leads me to believe that they have no beliefs of their own. Ask someone why they’re voting for Hillary Clinton and they'll say to keep Donald Trump out of office.

Over time, I have not learned a thing about Democrats. I do not understand the platform for which they stand. As a Conservative, they leave us confused and angry. We try to understand why they think the way that they do, but they give us nothing to work with. They spend all of their time protesting us, and all we’re trying to do is Make America Great Again.

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.
