I'm thankful that my family always spoke about politics and the state of our country when I was growing up and especially now...when current events are unfortunately forcing them to remember why they immigrated to this country in the first place: a dictator.
They have the personal experience, which most of us don't of what CAN go wrong when people "elect" someone out of fear, hate, and anger over their current situation (understand that post-WWI Germany was not so pretty visually and economically). A knee jerk reaction led to a man who liked to BLAME others for Germany's situation (jews, gays, mentally retarded, gypsies, political enemies namely the old monarchy) come to power and STAY in power. Which of course led to another world-wide war.
McCain is speaking right now, and I'm watching the examples right now on TYT, inciting people to BLAME others for their current situation in life....blame Obama, he's black, a "terrorist", and unamerican....he's why the country is having trouble...stop him, elect me, and overnight everything will be swell.
And in inciting those people to BLAME others, he's inciting violence.
I already posted that I came into a confrontation with a man at a petrol station who told me he wants Obama to be shot and he'll have no problem buying a gun and killing him himself if he ever saw him in person.
This is disgusting. I've never been one to be ostentatious and logo my life with bumper stickers, pins, stickers, and signs showing my support for a candidate. I always thought it was a personal decision, and I always kept it personal.
Until now. For the first time in my life, I'm going to advertise for a politician. I'm putting an Obama magnet on my car and staking an Obama sign in my yard. I've even joined my local young dems group in the city I live to actively promote Obama and local politicians.
It's gone too far, and I'd like to help. Thank you McCain for getting me politically active in my community.
