A political rant from the not-so-political media specialist

Please pause while I step up to the podium.

I don’t usually get into politics much. As a matter of fact, the presidential race is the only thing “political” I ever pay attention too. I actually even watched the presidential debate this year, for the first time ever. It feels wonderful to be informed, but also a little bit scary. I think I like my land of denial better. I hate seeing the future of our country, the leadership of our nation, reduced down to a matter of race. The color of your skin shouldn’t determine who you vote for. Our president can be black, white, or green for all I care. I want someone who will stand up for what he believes in, and someone who has the same morals and values that I want to instill in my children.

And honestly, when I go vote today, I feel that I’m going to be choosing between the lesser of two evils. I mean, why can’t we have a CHRISTIAN candidate to choose? At least I can be comforted in the fact that, regardless of which presidential candidate is chosen today, my God is always in control.

And now I’m ~~stomping~~ stepping down…

On a lighter note, Kyndall got to experience voting for the first time today. At school, we had a very realistic mock election. Students worked hard to create voting booths and set up a ballot box. We were even able to get an authentic voting kit, complete with signs, “I voted” stickers, and badges.
