You've heard it all.
"It's ok to be conservative when you're old. Just not when you're young." (What kind of bullarkey mamanothing is that?)
"Don't you know that Republicans want to send you and you're friends off to war to die for their thirst for oil?" (Yeah? We also kick puppies, eat kittens and hate anyone who is not white, male and Protestant. Except for Alan Keyes. And Lt. Col. West. And Congressman Scott. Oh and that Martin Luther King, Jr. guy.)
"How dare you tell me what I can do with my own body!" (Sorry, we just think that you are doing something to someoneelse's body after you did something with your own body, of which you knew this could be a possible result.)
"Can't you think for yourself?/Stop regurgitating FoxNews/Limbaugh/Hannity/Drudge." (Huffington Post/MSNBC/Colmes)
"Don't you know there is separation between church and state? Haven't you read the Constitution?" (Uhm, yeah. No mention of separation between church and state.)
Sometimes it seems as if the entire country is against your worldview (1992, 2008, anyone?). But it is not (1994, 2004, 2010, anyone?). And the members of Contoocook Valley Young Republicans have all been there at one time or another.
What can you do about it?
You can get educated.
You can network.
You can mobilize.
You can volunteer.
You can run for office.
We are here to help you.
