Peace and Tolerance: Election '08

This is a strange thing that I have noticed recently and realized it to have been apparent for quite sometime. I notice it in America, because I live here, but it could happen in other parts of the world. What I find strange is the people, usually in reference to political opinions, that promote peace and tolerance for all are also the most vocal about their stance. I don't see a thing wrong with being vocal about what you believe and especially when promoting peace and tolerance. I believe that these issues were one of the reasons The United States of America were formed. Unfortunately, the people who are vocal about their cause do this strange thing that confuses the hell out of me and makes me to believe that their promotion of peace and tolerance is more of an excuse to not have to live by any code.

So far I have experience more anger and intolerance from people who promote what they say is peace and tolerance, can I say peace and tolerance more? peace and tolerance, peace and tolerance, peace and tolerance, peace and tolerance.

If we are to say we need peace, why riot or voice threats or show your anger attempting to show how much stupider people are than you if they believe differently. Does that truely promote peace and tolerance. The biggest issues I have discovered that people show the most hatred towards are ones that I did not vote in their favor on.

Prop 4: I voted in favor of this proposition because I believe that and adults judgment is better than a teenager. Not only am I Pro-Life but a teenage girls body should not be harmed in the way that abortion can do, plus a parental awareness is that much closer to a right decision

Prop 8: I voted in favor of this proposition because the beliefs that I have are that homosexuality is a sin, so I could not vote in favor of allowing a person to sin. Other reasons are the following: I do a lot of wedding video and photography and I run the risk of a lawsuit if I decline to provide services to a couple due to my moral beliefs. If I turn down my service to a gay couple because I don't support their kind of marriage will I be running the risk of a lawsuit. Also non profit organizations could be at risk of losing their non profit status if they refuse their services such as wedding, location services to gay couples. Why should an organization be punished for adhering to their moral beliefs. I feel that it is my duty as a Christian to vote in favor of this Proposition.

Obama/Biden or McCain/Palin: Not only for moral conservative beliefs I feel that the things proposed are far better and will be better run with a McCain/Palin administration...although I think Mike Huckabee would have made a better president. Tell me what a Mike Huckabee/Ron Paul ticket would be like - that would be phenomenal.

Anybody, who voted otherwise, God be with you and that you voted in a way that did not compromise your morals...and if a Christian, your commitment with God - even if it was different than how I voted.
