All Men are created equal, and are fully allowed our unalienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Those are principles our country was founded on, and ask yourself right now - are we doing that, as a country? Are we truly created equal, in the eyes of our founders? Was this what they meant, if you take a good look at where the country is right now?
I think not. Never in our country’s history have we been so divided; the classes are far away from each other, and the pursuit of the American Dream is all but dead. What I see is that this basic human right - the right to choose one’s own purpose and fully live it out - is being voted on. With our candidates for president - which of them believe in those unalienable rights? Who stands behind those factions that have been shunned for years and years? Who would like to see all individual rights go right back into the closet?
If we view this election as just that, we have two contenders - Romney and Santorum. Those two gentlemen would like nothing more than to step back in time, and live there permanently. What would happen to gay rights and now, the issue of gay marriage? Vetoed, signed and sealed. Abortion rights/the rights of woman to choose what she needs to do for her own body? Will we all have to convert to Mormonism?
Think about what we would lose.
What we are talking about is not just about our right to survive, it is about our right to have our purpose met, in the eyes of God. All of us has a job to do - to make sure that we don’t lose ground in this respect. Whether you like or respect President Obama or not, he is on track with these principles. This is the way our planet is heading by the way - we can’t stuff the consciousness back into a box and pretend we don’t know.
Someone said that if Obama is re-elected, we wouldn’t have a country anymore. God, i hope so - we might just have a chance to have the country we were supposed to have - that kind of country the founders meant us to have.
