“a struggle against religious intolerance”
In this day and age of when it comes to political discussion on the internet, I have noticed that intolerance from others have gotten a lot worse. People usually give conservatives “intolerance” though. Over the years I’ve been wrongfully accused of being all for freedom of speech only if people agree with me. It’s nothing new and I hear that stuff all the time. I just ignore it and laugh it off. That accusation is not true either.
It seems that in this day and age, people are all for freedom of speech until they disagree with you. When people get all over you, calling you out ’cause they’re mad at your views — that is called intolerance.
When I discuss politics online, I usually get complainers and whiners all of the time. Everywhere I go on the internet, I’ll always get a few complainers and whiners. I’m not gonna stop what I’m doing just because a few complainers and whiners don’t like what I do.
I talk a lot of politics online ’cause I like it. I’m proud to be a “conservative” and will not change. I’m a patriot who believes in my country and trying to help others bring to people’s attention of what’s going on with the country. To me, I think what I’m doing is important and I don’t see what I’m doing is a bad thing at all.
People slam me for my views all the time and I’m used to it. Getting attacked by people who don’t like my anti-Obama stuff and my views against liberals. I’ve had plenty of people block me through social networking and I’ve had plenty of people who decided to stop supporting me ’cause of my hardcore “conservative” views and I’m okay with that. Sometimes people find me in social networking and when they see that I have “conservative” views, they’ll decide they won’t like me.
On top of that, not everyone finds what I do is offensive. I actually do have some people who enjoy my political stuff. The view count on all of my politics posts on this blog have gone way up and I’ve gotten more readers and subscribers too. I’m being followed by fellow conservatives on twitter. I get into interesting discussions in conservative forums in facebook so yeah, I’m all good.
It’s real sad that conservatives are looked at as “troublemakers” and it’s unfair but it’s not the end of the world, ya know? I can’t please everyone ’cause life don’t work like that, ya know? I’m not alone on this ’cause other “conservatives” go through the same trouble… look at Rush Limbaugh, Donald Trump and Sarah Palin. Perfect examples. They are called “badguys” for their conservative views too. I interact with other conservatives online and they go through the same experiences.
When will this back and forth hating stop? When will this country start loving each other and respecting each other again? It’s crazy. I swear it’s never been like this before Obama was president. I used to have no problem against liberalism until now.
