Hi all the Young Democrats in red areas (And adults too)!!

[AmandaRuth]

I am the 13-year-old daughter of Luvamericahatebush. We live in a VERY red zone of Washington state. At my Middle School, I proudly have on my binders two John Kerry stickers per side. I also have those binders out at all time, so people know (Weather they like it or not) my opine.

About 20 people have told me at the top of their lungs 'JOHN KERRY SUCKS!!' for a number of stupid reasons.

'He's CATHOLIC!!'

'HE SUPPORTS ABORTION!!!'

'HE WON THREE PURPLE HEARTS!!!' (And this is where I add 'And an Bronze star, I think.')

I bet that a lot School Age Democrats deal with this kind of harassment, so this is where we can aid in the Anti-Freeper-Child movement and help each other with comebacks.

They say: You don't know what you're talking about.

You say: And you do? Where do you get the idea I don't know about my candidate? I wouldn't support him if I didn't know about his motives!!!

They say: Well, you're just a stuck up liberal!!!

You say: And that's a bad thing?

Situation 2:

They say: Did you know John Kerry supports abortion?

You say: Power to him.

They say: But it's effing MURDER!!!

You say: Then don't have an abortion. Don't tell some woman in Oklahoma weather she should have a baby or not.

They say: But it's still murder.

You say: Like I said, don't have one. But hey, the girl who has the operation might be young. She'll have a crummy life and her kids will be even badder.

They say: Well they should get friends or parents to help them out.

You say: It costs a lot of money to raise a freep like you, not to mention a kid like me. You think some friend is gonna just spend over 5,000 bucks for their friends kid?

They say: what about Government programs?

You say: Aren't that many left thanks to Bush's tax cuts. Well, you had to get that cut, eh? You can't spend money to have a good society, eh?

Situation 3:

They say: John Kerry's not a Christan!!!

You say: And your point is?

They say: He's Catholic.

You say: Now I thought that in one of the Bills, it says you have the right to any religion you want to. If you're a Jew, or a Buddhist, or a Mormon, it doesn't matter. You have all the right to be president.

Situation 4:

They say: You're a liberal!!

You say: A, do you have ANY idea what you're talking about, B, do you know what liberals mean?

They say: It means people that love terrorists and bad people!!!

You say: *Put up your hands for greater effect* You know what, you're right. Let's go invade Iraq and kill thousands for nothing!!! Let's go covert them all to the Bible!!! YEAH!!! Let's got kick some ass!!! Let's make sure that the Middle Class people don't have health care!!! Let's have it so that our veterans don't have a hospital!!!

They say: That's not what I me-

You say: Yep, being a conservative is great, ain't it? Send all the rich kids to college when they have drug and drinking issues and all the black people to jail when they shoplift!!! Yeah!!! Let's keep them wimmen folk in the kitchen!!! Yeah!! Those Liberals, there all against that. Yep, wanna make sure all of us kids have stable future... *Pat them on the shoulder and pump your fist for effect*

I think that can work for some of us. Twist those things to your own use, add words, delete words. Do anything with them!!! Oh, and if you think I missed any, put them up here. I need some more, and other people need them!!! Thanks!!!

1. Great post but...

Catholicism is a Christian religion.

Christianity is not a religion: It is a family of related religions.

[AmandaRuth]

3. Yeah.... I kinda knew that

But the people at my school don't. Also, I'm not a very relgious person, so that gets me thrown shoes. Sorry *Bows*

5. I'm not a Catholic anymore...

Member of the liberal United Church of Canada. :-)

6. It's ok

You're fighting ignorance and you should be proud of yourself, when I was your age, only 4 years ago, I wasn't this smart.

10. Most people aren't...

I live in Ontarion along the Canada-US border, and in my last year of high school, one of the brightest people in my graduation class did not know the difference between a Democrat and a Republican.

Similarly, one of my co-workers at a grocery store where I live, an 18-year-old girl whose dad is a minister at a local fundamentalist church, told me she loved Bush but couldn't give a reason when she asked why. She also did not know what the New Democratic Party was, even though they won 16% of the vote in our last election and formed the government in Ontario between 1990 and 1995. Even giving her the names of famous local and Canadian politicians of recent years who are New Democrats left her scratching her head.

I'm 21, incidentally.

4. Actually

Christianity is the big religion then you have Catholics, Protestants, Orthodoxs within it, which are called faiths.

[Fenris]

11. Sects.

I believe one would call Catholicism, all forms of protestantism, and Orthodoxy sects of Christianity.

[JohnKleeb]

12. sects too or faiths

[JohnKleeb]

2. good for you but lemme help you make those arguements a little better

They use the Catholic arguement :eyes:, you're kidding me right, god if I went to your school, I think I would get in trouble for kicking snobby Protestant ass, as for being pro choice, would ya look at that, he wants to make sure a woman has control of her own body, three purple hearts he received for wounded in service of his country, yes a bronze star but you forgot the bronze star that would have been a Navy Cross had Kerry's highest commanding officer not wanted to rush the medal so he could increase morale, btw it's third to the medal of honor, our country's highest military medal. I can't believe there's anti catholicism among kids, :grr:. Good for you though, keep fighting the good fight.

7. Good work, Sweetheart.

I'm an older person in a red state (Alabama) and, believe me, we are fighting the good fight! Don't ever let anyone stop you from standing up for what you believe!

[Alleycat]

8. I would be so proud to have you as my child

You live in a tough area. Good for you to stand your ground. I can only hope my daughter will have the courage and convictions to stand up for what she believes in as you are doing.

9. All too familiar...

Hey, I live in Virginia so I know exactly what it's like. But I can't even get into it with them anymore, I get too pissed off. :eyes:

13. Whoopsie

I meant to say 'Opinion', not Opine. I wanted my view, not a dead rodent on the side of the road!!!

[AlFrankenFan]

14. I'm 14, a freshman in high school, and living in the red Orange County, CA

I get that stuff ALL THE TIME. Most often things that don't make sense like "Kerry is a fag (and he's homosexual or a bundle of sticks HOW?)", "Kerry's a douche-bag (umm...do you even know what that is?)", and the ever popular "Kerry flip flops and is bad cause my parents say so".

I love your suggestions!
