| Stop Calling Us Racist!
This goes out to all of the Democrats or Liberals out there that continue to call the Republicans and Conservatives "racist" because we simply did not vote for Obama. Let's bust out our history books and turn to the pages regarding the 1964 Civil Rights Act. If you do a little bit of research, you will find out that a greater percentage of Republicans than Democrats voted FOR the Civil Rights Act (Repub.- 80% and Dem.- 63%). Do you realize that a little less than half of the Democrats (the party Obama represents) voted against the Civil Rights Act? Yet, many of you guys still have the audacity to call us, Republicans and Conservatives, "racist." All I have to say, is please get your facts right before making ridiculous assumptions.
P.S. Did it ever occur to you guys that we didn't vote for Obama simply because we thought his policies weren't the best thing for this nation? |

Well, I have been called one simply because I didn't vote for Obama. Why? Because I didn't agree with his views. | |
