Okay, I just have to sat this. Someone blew up in my face the other day because of my political beliefs. Now its not that I hate America. That's what everyone thinks. Its that I don't like our stage that were in right about now. Like, my beliefs are very Left sided. (Revalutionary.) Which means that I think that we need radical change. I feel that I have just about no say in our government. Sure we get to elect our representatives, but does that mean that they'll win? And what if that representative is doing things that the people don't like? A man called Tom Morello said this "America touts itself as the land of the free, but the number one freedom that you and I have is the freedom to enter into a subservient role in the workplace. Once you exercise this freedom you've lost all control over what you do, what is produced, and how it is produced. And in the end, the product doesn't belong to you. The only way you can avoid bosses and jobs is if you don't care about making a living. Which leads to the second freedom: the freedom to starve." I think these are strong words. And represents what I think about things now.
But I don't hate America. As I said before. We do have freedoms that no one else has. And there were some good people that brought those freedoms about. I just wish those people were still around today.Tell me what you think about our country. Tell me if you agree or disgree. Tell me your beliefs.

You're right, your beliefs are your beliefs. Unfortunately, when your beliefs are not aligned with the norm, you are labeled. I encourage you to continue to voice your opinion. Register to vote when you are old enough and vote for those people that you feel best represent your beliefs. If you are unhappy with your repensation, write them a letter, send them an email (I imagine that many of them will have blogs in the near future if they don't already). You need to keep in mind one thing, you can't expect everyone to agree with your opinion and your beliefs because they have their own.
You have some interesting posts on your blog--keep writing!
