Political Beliefs Statement
8/27/15
In pretty much all ways I am heavily a liberal. It is my belief that everyone regardless of race, religion, sexuality, or gender should be given equal rights. No matter one’s sexuality I believe they have the right to marry whoever they wish as I think as humans we have no right to diminish their meaning of love. With all the horrible shootings that have gone around the US recently I have become more and more entrenched in my belief that access to guns needs to be more restricted. The fact that a teenager can get their hands on a gun despite not even being 18 yet is scary to me. On the topic of the 1st amendment I am however a little more uneasy on my feelings. People should be able to say whatever they wish to say… but up to a certain point. I believe if something is racist or homophobic or in anyway demoralizing it should not be said. While it may be met with little support I believe that something needs to be done about situations where demoralizing comments are made. I do not know what exactly it is that could be done, however I feel that it should not go unpunished. Finally, it my strong belief, a belief I could go ranting on about, that the USA is not the world’s caretaker. We need not get into pointless wars, when instead we could be putting that money towards better things, such as helping provide for the lower class.
