The FHSU Convention Connection

To be quite honest, I’ve never been “active” in politics.

Sure, I know who the candidates are and generally what they stand for on the important issues to me, but I’ve never gotten involved in a campaign.

I’ve also never been active in political issues, such as abortion. I’ve always thought my view on abortion was mine, and no one else really needed to know.

However, two men at the African-American Caucus Monday don’t think like I do.

They chose to voice their pro-life agendas before hundreds of Democrats. For it, they were escorted by police from the caucus and likely from the Colorado Convention Center.

While their pro-life sentiments were drowned out by chants of “Obama” from the crowd, I was struck by their rebellious attitudes.

“Barack Obama supports Black genocide,” the first protestor shouted. The other was subdued before I could make out what his abortion protest was exactly about.

I will never be politically active because the profession I have chosen won’t allow me to be; however, I also choose not to be vocal about my political beliefs because, as witnessed today, vocal displays of political allegiance won’t sway those who are committed to their own beliefs.
