New here-frustrated conservative
« on: May 17, 2009, 12:05:47 PM »
Hello everyone. I am a 24 year old American Hispanic female conservative. I'm frustrated right now with several things going on in our country.    As a conservative living in New Mexico it is hard for me to get my views across to friends and family. I don't believe in excessive racial pride the same way they do. I don't believe in using my race as a merit in education and career. I attended a college where professors were constantly bashing whites, and people who have religious beliefs such as Catholics and Protestants. Everytime I try to get my views across to  my relatives they call me a racist, sell-out and a self hating Hispanic. I'm happy I found Conservative Cave I will enjoy posting here.

Welcome.  I hope you find a home here.

Please don't be frustrated by being levelheaded in a lopsided world.  Just thank the Lord for your own good logic  and pray for those who fight it.

Welcome!  We are actually a pretty diverse lot, but it rarely comes up in conversation because what people think is important, but what they look like isn't...although I have to admit most of us do mock the DU people for being funny-looking when they put up their God-awful photo threads!

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

Welcome, shorty.

I hope your and your family's political opinions won't create strain at family gatherings. Family should trump politics.

They sometimes do. I believe in personal responsibility and not using race as merit but a lot of my relatives cry racism for a lot of dumb things and they use their race a lot to get what they want in careers and education.  I can't stand most of my relatives. I clash a lot with my sister. Her boyfriend is Navajo and he constantly bashes whites. Basically I really have no relative who has the same political beliefs.
