Just in case you haven't heard (or if you're a conservative, refused to hear) the Supreme Court is voting for whether or not to legalize gay marriage throughout America this June, and it's looking like gay marriage is going to finally become legal. This ruling, if in favor of gay marriage, will decide that it is in fact a constitutional right to be able to marry whoever one wants, without regard to the gender of the other person. Hillary Clinton has just recently announced that she firmly believes that the Supreme Court should make it legal throughout America as part of her campaign. Her views since 2008 have gradually become more and more supportive of gay marriage getting legalized, going from only supporting civil unions to now supporting marriage as a whole.
As had become clear in my last post, I completely support my girl Hillary Clinton for president. What didn't come up was that I'm a big supporter of marriage equality for 'non-traditional' couples. The fact that she has liberal ideals in mind, such as gay marriage, is a big part of what appeals to me about her. I'm sure that this turned many conservatives off of voting for her due to their views that marriage is only reserved for 'normal' couples, but she most likely just won the vote of just as many liberals.

Tea Party Conservative Plans on Voting Clinton
A hardcore conservative named James Webb recently announced that he will most likely be voting for Hillary Clinton in the upcoming election. He came to this decision after asking himself, "Which party has helped me out the most in the last, I don't know, 15 years, 20?" and finding that it was the democrats. However, it isn't all good news as is proven after learning in what ways democrats have helped him. The main way in which he's been helped is with the Affordable Care Act allowing him to retire at age 50 while other people are continuing to work into their 60s. He figured that it made more sense to take advantage of the system and have his healthcare be covered rather than work to pay the healthcare of others. It is for this reason that he's voting for a democrat since a republican would most likely repeal this Act, forcing him to go back to work.
This is an example of a sleazy man completely renouncing his political views just to take advantage
of a broken system that only works by damaging the livelihood of others. My initial thought was that it was good that even a Tea Party conservative was voting for Clinton since it must mean that she's truly appealing to the nation as a whole. Upon learning that this man only wanted her in office because it would mean that he can continue to sit around all day having other people pay for his expenses is disheartening to say the least. It shows how truly lazy and uncaring some people can be even to this day. Being willing to take money from others just to avoid having to work and feeling no remorse, even feeling proud of himself for finding a loophole in the system, is the epitome of greed, laziness, and a total lack of morals.

Liberals Left California Drought-Stricken
According to Carly Fiorina, California's four-year drought has been caused by liberals. She claims that democrats and environmentalists prevented the building of additional dams and reservoirs since they believed it was needless destruction of the habitat. In her opinion, this prevented additional water collection which resulted in the lack of water now available to Californians. What Fiorina ignored was the fact that the drought isn't being caused by a lack of water collection, it's being caused by climate change preventing rain from falling. Environmentalists trying to preserve the habitat has very little, if anything to do with the drought that's been going on in California.
Carly Fiorina either forgot how the weather works or she's only trying to promote herself, a conservative nominee for Senate, by damaging people's view of liberals. She even went so far as to say it was a "classic case of liberals being willing to sacrifice other people’s lives and livelihoods at the altar of their ideology," clearly showing that she's only using this situation to throw liberals under the bus. It's been stated numerous times by scientists that climate change is making weather more erratic and California's drought is just one example of this. Carly Fiorina denying that the weather is messed up just to blame liberals is incredibly ridiculous.

Voting Through the Violence
Nigeria is an African country that, like many others, in in the process of converting to democracy. There was just recently another election held for which 60 million people in the country turned out to vote. However, the problem arose when members of Boko Haram murdered 41 people for trying to turn the country democratic by voting for a president. The Boko Haram is a group of Islamic extremists who are trying to force the country to return to an Islamic caliphate for its government. Their end-goal of this was to scare people away from the polls to prevent the election from occurring; luckily, they failed.
This event is horribly evil for numerous reasons, aside from the fact that murder is inherently immoral and wrong. Most importantly is that this one tiny subdivision of the population is trying to decide what's best for the country despite the fact that most people support democracy. The Boko Haram has to realize that they can't make a difference if 60 million support it and their one small group of extremists disagrees with it. This is also wrong in that the Boko Haram is trying to deprive the Nigerians of the government they want just because it disagrees with their political views.

Totes True Facts About Me
Yo yo yo welcome to Hunter’s Spring-Through-Summertime Blogging Retreat, you can enjoy yourself but it’s not like I care (please stay). Some general facts about me are that I’m slender, somewhat smart, and have poofy hair. As for my family, I have one brother named Connor and my two parents. I recently went to Cozumel, Mexico, a tiny island off the coast of Cancun for a family vacation. The vacation as a whole was fine but most importantly, I wore boat shoes on an actual boat! This gave me so much white kid street cred I can easily join whichever frat I want in college. My brother wants me to join his frat at Lincoln so we can party together, obviously with no alcohol present since college students never drink as they’re under the legal age.
Something unique about me is that I’m a lifeguard for the city which makes me super tan over the summer; however, this year I’m at an indoor pool so there’s basically no point in working. I’m a stellar lifeguard, I even learned how to jump in and save someone without getting my hair wet! Although one time a girl seemed to be drowning but I didn’t want to get wet since it was cold so I just let her be since I figured natural selection would take care of it, it was dumb on her part to jump in if she couldn’t swim (she lived). Other than that we had habitual bottle-throwers who would break bottles in our pool area so we would have to clear the shrapnel. There were numerous wartime injuries inflicted upon the other guards, many never saw their wives or children again.
I’m known around my school for being athletic, a jack-of-all-trades if you will, since I ran cross country for 2 weeks before quitting since it was too easy. Then I took up trap shooting and mock trial to stay in top physical condition for when I retake the cross country field. I’m also pretty fantastic at French, not that it really matters since it’s French but still, I can speak that useless language like nobody’s business. It’s still better than Latin though, that language literally hasn’t had a use for a couple thousand years or so.
