"I am an Educator."

Below is from "Jaymie" who made this comment in one of my Haloscan comment and I was given permission to post this one section, "I am an educator."
=====================================================

I'm an educator working with high school students and it is extremely difficult in not being able to share my political perspectives with my students/co-workers simply because I'm a proud Republican.

I'm hoarded by leftists and I'm battered because I support Americans to be the People and oppose to the "Big Government" ruling just about every and each move we make.

I am scorned at because I support private businesses and their independence, separate from the government and disagree that we should have to give in to the poor (or pay high taxes) if I make "too much money." Republicans actually decrease taxes while Democratics raise them!

I am also debated upon whenever I say that the Democratic group actually doesn't care for the disability groups just because they are giving more money to them or trying to be humane and better their lives (my question is how??? By enabling them to rely more and more on the government and to the point where they aren't able to function and fare for themselves???)

We, Deafies, are constantly conflicting ourselves by demanding to be independent and not reliant on anyone just because we are Deaf (not "disabled"). But on the other hand, we demand financial & public assistance. Contradiction there. If we do that, we are disabled ('un able' to be financially independent). The Democrats wants people to be dependent on them so they can run their lives. Go ahead and deny that. You're just being unwilling to see the actual truth.
