about stand_up

Sometimes freedom means reloading your gun. 

Take time to remember the fallen, those who have served, and those currently serving.  They're fighting for our freedoms.  Whether or not you support the war, support the troops who fight for this wonderful country of ours.

"We sleep safe in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm." George Orwell

I love UNC. I love the quad in the spring and the arboretum in the fall. I love the Pit on a sunny day and Graham Memorial Lounge on a rainy one. I love Roy all the time. But what makes UNC truly special is not our beautiful campus, our distinguished reputation or even our basketball team. It's us - the student body - who make UNC what it is.

- Eve Carson 

I'm a proud Conservative, the daughter of a retired (and deceased) Lt. Colonel of the USMC, and a student. I support our President, our troops, and the current conflicts in which our country is engaged.  I make no apologies for who I am and the things in which I believe.  We may disagree, but I'll respect your opinions and I hope that you do the same for me.

Illegal immigration is driving this country into the ground as is the sense of entitlement that some people (of all races) have.

I think everyone, at their core, is just a bit prejudiced. I also think that people sometimes fail to recognize the difference between prejudice and racism.  

I think affirmative action is wrong and would prefer that people enter into college based on merit and not race. Yes, I also recognize the fact that affirmative action affects any minority, e.g. women and those from poor(er) counties.  I think reformation of the school system at the primary and secondary levels would remedy the "need" for affirmative action.  I recognize that this is never going to happen.

Race is a social construct.  There are more genetic differences between two people of the same race than there are between two people of different races. Outside of it all, we all bleed the same.  I say, treat others as you would like to be treated.  That said, as soon as they disrespect you, then it's time for them to go.

If I think you're looking for a fight, I'm not going to engage you.  I appreciate civil internet discourse, however.  

I'm a Tarheel born.  I'm a Tarheel bred; and, when I die, I'll be a Tarheel dead!
