Atheist Republican

With the election edging closer, I figured I might as well discuss a topic I normally keep mum about.

Politics!

I'm not particularly interested in politics-and no, I don't plan on voting. I've received plenty of criticism from aquantainces on my decision to abstain from voting. Mostly I'm not voting just to piss these people off. Who knows, I may even secretly vote. The point is, if it's my right to vote, it's also my right not to.

In reality most of the people critical of me not voting should be glad I'm not voting-I would definitely vote Republican, whereas most of my friends (and people my age) are Democrats. I'm so sick of these college-aged progressive democrats with their 'vote for change-vote Obama' bumper stickers, and their 'green' clothes made of naturally grown sticks and fairly traded dirt. Fuck off.

I do have some more legitimate reasons for being a Republican (honestly I'm probably a Libertarian, but let's be real here).

-I do not think people who make a certain yearly income higher than that of 95% of the population should be forced to 'donate' a higher percentage of their income to to government to be redistributed to fucking welfare scum who don't even pay taxes. Does the middle class not realize that more than 50% of all money in circulation is put there by the top 5% of wealth holders? People who have more money spend more money. They also spend money on luxury items that are more likely to help our economy instead of cheap clothes from China or piss covered fruit from Colombia-which is what welfare recipients spend their money on (In case you didn't know). Here are some things welfare recipients don't spend their money on.
-condoms (this is critical to maintaing their lifestyle)
-classy lawn decor (worn out appliances look just as nice!)
-lap dances (cheap fuckers)
-food (they have stamps for that shit)
-belts
-clothes that fit
-televisions, ipods, various other electronic devices (they'd rather just mug/rob you. This provides them with said goods and entertainment)
-movie tickets (see above)

Wealthy people spend money on all of the above-and then some.


-I don't think health care should be made public. It's a known fact that institutions run by the government suck. The government sucks. I do not want important things-such as my life-in the hands of the incapable government. You can't afford healthcare? Too bad. I can, and I want to choose what privatized physician I attend. Just look at public schools. Awful. I mean I went to public school and look how I turned out. You want your kids to be strippers, send them to public school.

-When it comes to things such as abortion and gay marriage, well I don't really agree with the Republican outlook on these issues-but I also realize that they don't really affect me. I don't plan on marrying a woman, and I know how to properly use a condom. Sucks for you if you don't.

I suppose the main reason I'm a Republican is that I don't trust the government. That's right-I think the government as a whole is incompetent. The less control they have-the better my life is.

Now if the separation of church and state could just be adhered to...
