Election Rant #3

Sometimes it truly amazes me the things people will write on the internet. Maybe it’s just the friends I have on Facebook but I often feel that in reading some of the posts from my Facebook friends on election night, you have proof of what has gone wrong with Americans today. After Obama was declared the projected winner for the 2012 presidential election the tweets/posts began; thus went my sanity. I know what I should’ve done is just stayed of the internet for the night so I couldn’t read the obnoxious posts, but I just couldn’t help myself.

 I read comments such as “I was really disappointed in America tonight,” “Well this country is doomed no matter who wins,” and “These candidates are such idiots.” –Are you kidding me?

 

First off, No one, and I mean no one that is friends with me on Facebook, has the right to say the Barack Obama or Mitt Romney is stupid. Maybe you don’t agree with their politics which is totally fine, but neither of them are stupid individuals.

 

Second, you’re disappointed in America? What kind of statement is that? I mean how selfish are you to say that the people that differ from you are wrong because they don’t share your same beliefs.

 

And Third, how is saying that both candidates suck going to make this country better in any way shape or form? Maybe you don’t like either candidate which is fine but don’t you think it would be better to try and stay positive during a time like this, when our country needs to support our leader now more than ever?

 

Sorry for the rant, thank God this election is over.
