Not Everyone: some Election Day thoughts.

Not every Democrat is a bleeding-heart liberal.

Not every Republican is a rich white old conservative.

Not every Christian is a judgmental hypocrite who can't grasp the idea of gay marriage.

Not every Muslim is a militant terrorist out to bomb us back to the stone age.

Not every homosexual throws their sexuality in heterosexual people's faces.

Not every heterosexual throws their sexuality in homosexual people's faces.

Not everyone who supports our troops supports the war in Iraq.

Not everyone who supports the war wants it to continue.

Not every rich person wants poor people to stay poor.

Not every poor person wants to rob the rich.

Not every celebrity supports Obama.

Not every small-town citizen supports McCain.

Not everyone votes.  Everyone should.

 

I urge you: vote.  Left or right, Democrat or Republican, it doesn't matter.  Voting is YOUR right and privilege.  It's a right bought by human blood...American blood.  And don't vote for someone because someone tells you to or not to.  Always vote your conscience, whether your conscience is governed by rationality or by emotion.

 

Vote.  And for God's sake, don't panic if the other guy wins.  It's not the end of the world.
