Hey, Fortris. Slow down.
I’m sure you’re pretty smart as your interest in these topics show…
However, just because you are 14 doesn’t mean your ideas shouldn’t come under a bit of criticism.
To be clear, I am criticizing your ideas, not you as a person (though if I knew you were so much younger than me, I probably would have softened my response a bit and said “Don’t act like an idiot”). That still may be hard to hear, but I stand by my thinking: It’s not a good idea to make blanket statements against any groups (Muslims, liberals…)
You can dislike me all you want but please don’t let it keep you from taking some advice: When you box people in with labels and generalities you only end up boxing in your own thinking and limit your understanding of those same people and issues that surround them. People are much more complex than just “conservative” or “liberal”; you should keep your mind open to that—and, the more you remain open the more you will learn.
And, yes, I unapologetically support Obama. It’s nothing to be ashamed about. Is he the second coming, the magic man that will solve all that ails the U.S.? No, of course not. But he is the best option we have (IMHO, of course).
