Hey people! Name's Lee, I'm an amateur blogger living in the Big Apple, I work everyday, I play very little, I discuss politics on Facebook on a daily basis as long as I can afford internet access, I share liberal viewpoints while accepting of *some* mindful conservative views from other people (as long as those views are founded on honesty and are grounded in reality).
I used to be a gamer many years ago, but life caught up and now I'm a clothing salesman. Not exactly a dream job of mine, but it's independence for me. My dad built it and during its conception, it became a family effort. It's a small, growing business that has seen its share of success, and, especially, hardship. The recession made things difficult, and things still are.
But the recession was also what politically woke me up. It also woke me up socially and economically over the past few years, and it made me pay attention to the political discourse in this country. And not for nothing-I had always wondered if we would ever see a black president. However, context became more important...hence, why I place emphasis on discourse, particularly on television and in print media.
I baulk at the idea behind anyone who discusses politics claims they became "conservative" because of something they so fatuously say they "learned". Ha!
Well, not to burst anyone's bubble or anything, but personally, I'm very proud to be on the more side that's more prone to reality than anything. ;-)
And yes, I am an Obama supporter, and I though I support the critical arguments and conversations being had about the last four years, make no mistake. For all the egriegious, deleterious and acrimonius positions taken by his critics on BOTH sides, ESPECIALLY by some useful idiots who are supposed to be more mindful about their progressive views (IMO anyway) I support him, for the accomplishments he continues to achieve, and the compromises his opponents refuse to make, and then some...
...you know, for the sake of their "principles".
*smdh
Anyway, that's it for now. You know where I stand. Friends and mindful conversationalists, feel free to follow me!
Ciao!
