Today, I was alarmed to hear from a fellow employee that I was racist. This came as news to me, being I have friends of all colors and ethnicity's. In surprise, it came to my attention the co-worker claiming these allegations was a good friend of mine. At lunch, I pulled him to the side and asked very rationally, "Why do you think I'm racist, Have I done something to cause for you to believe this?". His response took me off guard considering he has known me for 6 months and is very familiar with my political views and beliefs. Looking at me very seriously he replies, " There is no other reason for you to not vote for Obama.".
This enraged me. For anyone That knows me to use a purposeless allegation to justify my voting decisions. Calmly, I explained to him Herman Cain was my first choice but continued with the many various reasons for why I believed Obama was not my choice for President. In this list I included Solendra, The Keystone Pipeline, Obama care, Fast and the Furious, our foreign policy, our national debt, The Constitutions Attack and anything else I could come up with within 30 seconds. This of course wasn't even the beginning.
After this rant I began to explain to him why I believed what he was doing was not right. I did not vote for him, and I will not vote this time,and it is not because the color of his skin, but the size of his brain and his lack of Dignity. I can name 100 reasons in a split second for why I will not vote Obama, but I cannot come up with one for why I should or for what he has achieved. To decide to not vote for a candidate due to the color of their skin is racist, and so is voting for them for the same reason.
I want to make it clear to anyone with the nerve to say I am racist, I am not! The decision I made to not support Obama was a rational decision made by analyzing Obama's mandates, policies, and former actions. This decision came from seeing Obama attack our constitutional freedoms, morale rights, and general well being. This decision was made morally just as I could hope anyone Else's was.
This race is over the Freedom of this country, not race. Using race as an excuse for why I choose to support a different candidate than you, shows one thing. It shows you cannot justify why I will not vote with logic. It shows you have no reason to defend Obama but race. It also shows why this country is going where it is. You may choose to vote for race but I vote for Freedom, and Obama has proven he does not support that. Romney2012
