Yes, this is a political post, and you won’t see too many of these from me, but I want to let everyone I know that criticizing our president is part of our right as Americans. We must use the free speech right when we feel something is wrong in this country.
Now,
I’m not saying this
about our current president, I’m saying this about any and all
presidents past,
president and future! No matter how I vote, I will in some
way,
criticize “MY
PRESIDENT”. Yes, no matter who is in office, if I voted for them or
not, they
are my president. Even if I do not agree with them they are still my
president.
One of the things I hated
most about the Bush presidency was all the
bumper
stickers that said “Not my president” Well, yes he is your
president
unless you
are giving up your citizenship to this great country we live in. Now
you may
not agree with a president or their policies, but they are still your
president.
But, this country is great because we have the right to criticize our president and other elected officials without having to be worried about being put in jail or killed for our opinion. America is a free country and everyone has an opinion. Our politicians were voted in by us, to represent us, and it is our job to make sure they know what we want from them.
Every
four years we are given
the opportunity to tell a president, or any other elected official, if
they are
doing a good job, or if they are listening to us by
telling them they
can stay
and continue what they are doing or we can vote them out and elect
someone
else.
No matter what your
political preference is, I suggest you stand up for
your
own beliefs and don’t just blindly follow any one man or it will become
a
dictatorship. Voice your concerns, even if you voted for a
man, because
if our
elected officials don’t know what we want they can’t possibly fight for
it!
