You may be a Hippy Republican if . . . .
- You want to do your part to take care of the planet
- Things don't matter, people do.
- Bicycling is a valuable mode of transportation i.e. it's green, it's healthy, it's fun!
- Give a man a fish, feed him for a day, teach him to fish and feed him for a lifetime.
- Big Government vs. Big Business - The bigger the government, the smaller the person. Just a thought: although big business definitely can partake in it's share of evil-doing; I'm not aware so far of a business committing genocide.
- Being fiscally conservative is a positive attribute
- Love God, love people, love the planet . . .
- Women's rights: - for them; Infant's rights: -for them too :) I wonder . . if we had the futuristic ability/technology to "transport" an infant from a mother's womb to an incubator with no harm to the mother or the infant, what then would be a valid reason to deny that infant their shot at life?
- Population control: See #2 above
- to be continued . . .
If you write more - we will comment more :)
ReplyDeleteI only think I qualify as a Hippy in that I am now making all of Sydney's baby food. And that has more to do with how easy it is to mash a banana and how much cheaper too! I made Scott promise to slap me if I bought a pair of Birkenstocks or started to like the smell of Patchouli.

I don't really see how Mitt Romney is the answer to any of those points.
ReplyDeleteThank you Erin for your comment - much appreciated. You are correct in that no one person is the end-all-be-all to a solution involving any of the aforementioned points. However, given the choice between the two current candidates, we each have a responsibility to carefully look at all of the key issues at hand and vote accordingly. For me, there are issues that I strongly believe in that are championed by each party so I have to go with the person or party that is championing what I feel is/are the most urgent of the issues facing us and our children and that, for me, is the current status of our economy and the national debt. We are in a crises and the security of our Country is at risk as long as our we are living exorbitantly beyond our means. Although I am not a fan of the somewhat tainted relationship between my chosen party and the oil and pharmaceutical companies, I have to support putting out the biggest fire first so we can survive to figure out the rest of it. If the patient is losing a lot of blood, you want to fix that but if they are not breathing, that has to take priority. Also, I am a huge advocate for change in our current obsolete education system and I think that parents and children having a choice as to what school they attend will do amazing things for the abject misery we find in many of our public school institutions. Anyway, I appreciate the comment and am excited to take part in that beloved tenant of our constitution . . . the freedom of speech. Thank you - Commuter Girl
