What is a Republican? Is it a Politician who is dirty, cheap, unreliable, etc.? (So the Liberal Media says…) Or is it a hardworking American who is dedicated to their family, friends, jobs, and faith? If you ask me, I’d tell you that a Republican is that oddball in the crowd, who does not necessarily “go-with-the-flow”. I’d tell you that a Republican is someone who is proud of their country and their roots. It’s someone who prioritizes goals and objectives in life. A true Republican is someone who we ALL, Democrats, Liberals, Libertarians, Conservatives, etc. long to be…
Just the other day, I was in a heated debate with my Aunt. She is the quintessential Liberal.—I’ve always said that if we could somehow obtain a system of checks and balances (not just with the three branches of our government) but within each branch itself, things would “re-rail”. Regardless, Democrats and Republicans take turn governing each branch…therefore, isn’t the system of Checks and Balances really between the two parties that make up our country? Montesquieu would be proud!—as I was saying, my Aunt knows her Liberal facts…We we’re arguing about the Healthcare system and how it correlates with funding abortion. She always makes good points when we debate but, for some reason, it always seems like she misunderstands us Republicans and Conservatives.
I feel that the initial argument against Obamacare coincides with illegal immigration. What hardworking citizen of this country wants to pay Uncle Sam incredulous amounts then find out that that money is being used to pay for the insurance and healthcare of illegal immigrants and their children? Her argument: illegal immigrants cannot qualify for Obamacare. My next point I made is, why should the Hardworking men and women give equal opportunities to the non-hardworking men and women? There are very, very lazy people in this country who, if anything at all, do very little to support their family and themselves. They mainly rely on welfare and guess what…yes, you got it, the government. Well, now those lazy jerks who have done nothing to help anyone far and wide are getting the SAME healthcare benefits that those hardworking men and women get! The hardworking ones who go to work five, sometimes six or seven days a week. The hardworking ones who pay their bills and taxes. The hardworking ones who support a family. The hardworking ones who do their job. Her argument: those “lazy” people only make up a small fraction of those who are now benefitting from Obamacare.
She then went on to ask me, “Who are you to say who is deserving and undeserving in this country?” That statement there was much like a spark under my butt. When I look at my parents, my neighbors, my friends, my family, my parent’s friends, my friend’s parents, my fellow citizens who do everything in their power to provide for their family, and bust their butts for us and go through very tough times, and then see those who expect to be given everything…my blood pressure rises. I’m the one to tell who is undeserving in deserving THROUGH MY EYES because through those same eyes, I see so many struggling people making ends meet because they have others who rely on them for life and prosperity. I do not think that I have ever felt the same sensation I felt when she said that, EVER in my life before.
Section two was about how we as Republicans do not allow abortions or federal funding of abortions. Her argument: You cannot call yourself a Christian if you feel that way. Why should we bring those children into this world when you will not allow most of them to have a God given right…healthcare? My loudly-said response back: Who’s the Christian here? I want children to live and have the best opportunities that this country has to offer. Usually, those opportunities come with citizenship and hard work…when we see that that hardworking, deserving family who had that child who we did not allow to be aborted, we WILL reward you!
All in all, Republicans, Tea-Partiers, Conservatives, etc. are seen, today, as heartless criminals who only care for themselves and making the rich richer. It’s time to change that back to the way we were originally seen as. The view has changed, we have not. My closing statement: it takes a little research to find the truth in everything. God Bless America. Have a Merry Christmas to all!
