We aren't living in the end times...

Before I left for Tulsa I was arguing with a friend of mine over politics. He believes babies shouldn't go unborn, Jesus is his savior, was home schooled, loves guns, and so forth. He thinks Obama sucks. And maybe Obama does suck. We don't know yet. My friend is a firm believer that Obama wants to turn our country into a socialist nation. Well, the definition of socialism is surely losing its integrity these days isn't it? A 3 percent income tax hike isn't exactly what I call socialism. He had some things that I could agree on though, that Obama wants 18-24 year olds to serve mandatory community service or in the military. I think that is very Hitler esque in my opinion. And I'm not exactly against having guns either. But the problem with people like my buddy is that their world view is parallel with post-davidian Christian beliefs. When I was growing up in church there was always a sermon once every 2 months about the END TIMES!!! The book of Revelation. Any natural disaster, school shooting, or any other media frenzy exaggeration was used as semi-proof of end times and how we are living in them. Now, if you love unborn babies, owning more than 1 fiream, Jesus, and America, there is a good chance your aren't taking it easy when your gun rights are threatened, or any of the previously mentioned things you love. I'm not going to act like I love Obama and he is right on everything. I'm not necessarily sure some things are going to work. Despite the fact I am fiscal conservative, I think some things on the economy may go smoothly. The auto-industry make over, creating jobs to produce clean energy, more tax breaks for the less fortunate, and reducing health care costs go almost hand in hand with how I roll...so we will see. As for social issues...Obama is my man. Keep killing babies (haha), lets get these gays married so they'll just shut the fuck up, let gays adopt, legalize all drugs, and protect our borders (I doubt Obama doing this, John McCain wanted to grant all illegals amnesty so fuck the world, right?) those are some things I would like to see in 4-8 years. I think with a Democratic controlled congress we might see the legalization of drugs in the country. Who knows? As far as gun rights...the government putting restrictions on your firearms isn't something I necessarily agree with it, but chill the fuck out. If you want to keep your firearms, be responsible and don't go shooting the black dude running the show...that isn't responsible firearm ownership. Fuck it, I'm done with this.
