Why I’m Not a Conservative [rantish post]
Many of you are familiar with the fact that a lot of my posts seem to be virulently anti-conservative. Although I like most people and try my hardest to get along with everyone despite their political views, I have a hard time dealing with social conservatives (I have more patience for economic conservatives). They seem to be so intolerant and opposed to social progress; if something is new, it is automatically bad. That is what makes me so mad about them. They think that THEIR way of having a family is the only right way. They think THEIR way of politics is the only right way. It’s absolutely maddening. So many of them are homophobic and don’t want gays to get married just because their bigoted interpretation of Christianity says so. Hello, if you don’t want a gay marriage, then don’t freaking have one. There is no valid reason to oppose equal rights for all people — anything else is bigotry.
(I also have problems with liberals being bigoted towards those who don’t agree with them. I actually have a problem with bigotry in general. This post is mainly addressed towards conservatives because they are primarily the ones who are spreading bigotry across the nation right now.)
Funny I see liberals being much more aggressive in spreading bigotry and ignorance across the nation at the moment… Yes, social conservatives cause a lot of damage with how reactionary they can be, but during the Bush years it has been the left that has taken the lead in the race to see who can be most hysterical.

Not me…At least I try not to.
Anyway, the reason why I typed up that rant was that I was really, really, furious at some conservative homophobes who think that people like me are evil. They just don’t realise that there are different views out there, and that’s the same problem a lot of liberals have too. As I said earlier in another post…they all suck.
