It seems extremely unfair

and EXTREMELY close-minded to me that people, who delcare themselves democratic liberals, have absolutely no tolerance for the conserative point of view. It pisses me off that to these people's standards, I am not allowed to have a mixture of opinos. I really detest political types that follow an agenda. It enfuriates me becuase they expect me to do the same. The pot holes in the consistency of these agendas are so glaring, and I can't stand it when people don't see it.

I am feeling angry today. Angry that I feel "embarrassed" of my conserative political views and force myself to stand by them. When it comes to my liberal political views, I'll talk them right up. This is so fake.

I don't want to feel that I'm cool because of my opinion stances. I am so tired of "hiding" my feelings on certain issues becuase they're not liberal enough. I'm tired of trying to prove to liberals that I'm not a conserative becuase I think the Terri Shaivo case was a FUCKING DISGRACE and because I don't think George Bush is the spawn of satan. In order to say those things, IMMEDIATELY, agenda followers peg me as an "in-the-closet" conserative -- an agenda follower, just like they are, but on the other team.

I hate killing. I'm against abortion and against the death penalty.
I hate sexism. I'm against pornography and against discrimination.
I hate classism. I'm for a living wage and recognize the value of capitalism.

I think I'm feeling irritated right now because one of the things I dread about moving into Philly are self-indulgent liberals that love to agree on how much they agree about every issue that's force fed to them and how they feel like they are thinking outside of the box but they're just regurgatating they way they're told that "liberals" should think.

And why am I so irritated?

Because I want to be one of them.
