Personally for me, i can't even vote yet since im under 18 still, but what's
so wrong about being a democrat? that's like saying you hate or aren't proud
for being an American because one man committed manslaughter who was an
American as well. I'm Sunni Muslim, although i don't agree with the killings
in Iraq on the Shiite people committed by sunni muslims, doesn't make me any
less proud that i'm Muslim. Some guy came up to me yesterday and ask me if i
was a shiite or a sunni muslim, and i told him sunni, and he was like so
you're the peaceful ones or the violent one? and i was like well technically
according to Iraq i'd be catergorized into the violent group, but am i
violent and do i agree to their actions no. but am i any less Muslim again
no.
So being a democrat, doesn't necessarily mean you're proud of negative
things the democratic people have done. i was at the september 24th rally,
and so many people were proud to be democratic americans but they wanted to
cause change to how the democrats in the US are running things.
im sorry if i've spoken in ignorance since i'm not yet a voter and don't
really know too well how things go.
