(I don't really call myself a liberal. But most of my family does. Hi guys!)
Two posts in one day. It's a record!!
Okay, it's not a record. I think I've done it before. Just not lately.
But today I'm doing it. And why?? Because I posted that last one. And when I did, as I always do, I viewed the post on my blog so I could see how it would appear to all of the four people who might read it.
And I saw this:
When I was in 7th grade I joined academic games. I was a little bit of a dork. Whatever. I loved academic games. They taught us about propaganda and taught us how to identify it. My 12 year old brain latched on to that concept and has been holding tight ever since.
I understand that some of my posts could be labeled as a sort of propaganda. They're my opinions and I express them and I'd love it if everyone in the world agreed with me. Sort of. That might be boring. But I'm not shady about it. It's all out there for the world to see. And in case I need to put it more bluntly: (ALERT! Dirty Liberal Opinion Ahead! Conservatives, click away now!)
I think Chick Fil A makes a darned tasty milkshake but I refuse to give them another penny of my hard earned money so they can give a portion of that penny to organizations that wish to take rights away from other citizens.
So any way, I clicked the ad.
And it brought me to this page:
And I thought, well, of course I support everyone's RIGHT to freedom of speech and religious expression. I support rights. Pretty much all of them. Generally, I think having rights is a good thing and I'm all for them. Hooray for rights!
Did you notice what it says in the fine print at the bottom of that picture? I'll read it out loud to you, just in case. It says "*Voting in the Chick-Fil-A freedom of speech and religious expression poll entitles you to receive conservative alerts from Townhall.com."
Oh joy! I love to be entitled!
I think it's ironic that this particular conservative propaganda is using rights as a way to persuade people to agree with their hate-filled agenda.
We have the right to take away your rights!
So yeah, don't click that, kay? Or do click it. It's your right to choose. :)

Thank you. I wish the population of the US didn't think that it was OK to hate out loud. Not just OK, but they are applauded for it. People are voting on my civil rights. I thought I just got 'em automatically, but no. Person by person, church by church, state by state, you can deny me my civil rights.
