Obama mania
Ever since Election Day, I have been bombarded by unquestioning reverence for Obama everywhere I look. I constantly see people wearing Obama buttons, Obama stickers, and Obama t-shirts and speaking adoringly about everything from Obama’s policies to how cute his daughters are. They gush at everyone they talk to (including me) about how election night was “the most exciting experience in my life” or how they’re “still walking on air” and are “proud of America for the first time.”
How inconsiderate to assume that everyone else worships Obama as much as you do! Numerous times I have found myself in the awkward position of either keeping my mouth shut and nodding or making people’s jaws drop by telling them that, believe it or not, I actually don’t really like Obama. Has it ever occurred to you that conservatives exist in the world, and you might be talking to one?
Liberals are known for their tolerance of all different races, religions, and sexual orientations. Apparently, though, liberals require people to be identical to them in ideology in order to be accepted. Would you ever bash gay people if there was a possibility you were talking to a gay person? I don’t think so. Then why do you bash conservatives when you have no idea whether the person you are talking to is conservative or liberal?
Guess what, liberals? Remember how you unanimously and mercilessly bashed the president for the past eight years and called anyone who disagreed with you stupid? Remember how you complained about how horrible America was and how all the other countries are better than us?
Well, now it’s our turn. I did not vote for Obama, and I do not support him. I hope he doesn’t mess up the country too badly, but if he does, it’s the job of us conservatives to give him just as much grief as the liberals gave poor Bush during the past eight years. And if you support Obama, it’s okay to be excited about having a black president for the first time, and even to be excited about Obama’s political views, but remember that he’s just a person, not a god. It’s not good to worship a politician as infallible and perfect, whether they are liberal or conservative.
