5 Things Young Female Conservatives Are Tired of Hearing

The Left makes it so difficult to be a Conservative, let alone a young female Conservative.

5 Things Young Female Conservatives Are Tired of Hearing
The Colorado Observer

1. You're only a Conservative because you come from a wealthy Republican family.

Actually, negative. I come from a working class, blue-collar family. This idea that all conservatives are wealthy white men has got to go. In fact, most of the wealthy white men that I know are Democrats. Mike Huckabee said it best, "I'm not a Republican because I grew up rich. I'm a Republican because I didn't want to spend the rest of my life poor, waiting for the government to rescue me."

2. You're a strong, independent woman. You shouldn't be associating yourself with the GOP.

First of all, yes, I am a strong, independent woman. Second of all, why is the Democratic Party considered the party for "women's rights?" I'm so over hearing that only liberals work for women. I associate myself with the GOP because I prioritize Foreign Relations, the economy, and Homeland security over social issues... BUT, that doesn't mean I don't care about certain social issues. The GOP is the People's party, meaning that the GOP works on issues that are paramount to everyone, not just women and minorities.

3. You must be racists.

Seriously? If I had a dollar for every time a liberal threw that one at me during a heated discussion, I'd be rich by now! Lets go back to the last sentence of number 2. The GOP is the People's party. Conservatives believe in equality for all, not matter race or ethnicity. This is why Republicans oppose affirmative action, because they believe it provides certain groups with educational, political, and social advantages that are not available to other groups. Not because we are racists.

4. You must hate gays.

This is another one. Right up there with being a racists. It's just ridiculous. By branding me, a conservative, as "hateful" because I oppose gay marriage makes it seem as though liberals are implying that I don't believe gay's, lesbians, and transgender's are capable of loving and committing like heterosexual couples. That is just simply not true. Not everyone who opposes gay marriage oppose gay lifestyles. Marriage, for many, is a sacred symbol between and Man and a Woman. Not just for conservatives, but for many, changing this to suit gay's, lesbians, and transgender's would make the sacred act of marriage no longer, well, sacred. By the way, some of my favorite people in this world are Gay!

5. How can a nice young Woman like you be a member of such a heartless party?

This may be the one I am most tired of hearing. Heartless? Really? And liberals don't find it heartless when a 20-week-old baby is ripped from their mother's womb? But honestly, what makes a conservative so heartless? The fact that we oppose amnesty for illegal immigrants? Or that we would like to limit the number of Syrian Refugee's that are accepted into this country for obvious reasons. This is not xenophobia and it definitely does not mean conservatives are heartless. Conservatives are realists. We see the world as it really is and not how we would like it to be. Sorry, not sorry.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
