So I voted yesterday.......

and something really aggravated me about the way the local voting is handled. I live in an area that is Shiite republican,not conservative,REPUBLICAN.Don't get me wrong,there is absolutely nothing wrong with being a republican,Nothing(I can't stress that enough).Nor is there anything wrong with being a democrat(though i feel here it is quite taboo).I just don't think shouting across the entire precinct "HERE IS YOUR DEMOCRATIC/NON-PARTISAN BALLOT" is at all necessary.It was said more than six time in such a loud,negative,judgmental sort of tone.The way we vote and the parties we choose to be a part do not in any way determine the kind of person we are. It's just a label for crap's sake! I am an imperfect,messed up,broken,sinner who has a new,beautiful life in Jesus Christ.My political views,don't define me, my Savior,who lives in and through me defines me.Just because i don't sport a donkey or an elephant on my chest doesn't make me less of an american,or a person,and it certainly doesn't make me less a child of the supreme Creator. P.S-i don't know why half way through my font changed
Much love-Eric
