Here at Real Change In America we strive to keep ourselves politically unbiased. Everybody is entitled to their own opinions and we welcome the diversity of America. It’s meant to make us unique and to help us progress and evolve with the times. However, there are some events that really make me feel like it actually makes us go in a reserve direction.

I want to show you a video of a man that came to the 9/12 protest and held a sign expressing his view on health care.

This man was spat on and pushed around for expressing his view at a protest. Granted the protest was for the opposite reason of his view, he is entitled to his own opinion. He has as much right to be there as the rest of everyone else. This shows the ultimate sign of disrespect and a skewed perception of our entitled rights. If it’s one thing I wish you take from this website, even if it’s not our main goal, is that an open mind is required for America to work the way it was intended. This country was founded on the idea of freedom of expression. Just because you have a different vision of how this country should be ran, it does NOT give you the right to disrespect another human being (Yes that is correct, a HUMAN BEING. A fellow flesh and blood man, just the same as you and I. A person who is entitled to his own opinion). He was not infringing on their pursuit of happiness, and in fact, continued to act with respect even though his actions were not met with the same courtesy. This I applaud, as it makes him the bigger man in this situation.

This is not an attack on people who are against the current administration’s health care plans. This is just a wake up call to those who are too hard headed to understand anybody but themselves or similar people. We are all guilty of it at one point in time or another, but what separates those who are blind and those who are able to see, are those willing to see. If you do not want to respect a fellow man’s idea (and I emphasize respect, not agreement), then you are the so called buzz word “commie” (in which the true definition is skewed beyond all recognition by now). You are undermining the very system that was created by our forefathers and made this country what it is today.

EDIT: I wish to clarify that the boos are just, but the physical actions are uncalled for.
EDIT 2: Thanks for a visitor pointing out the derogatory named title of the YouTube video. We’d like to note that this not our views of this protest, but that of a the user who posted this on the Internet. This video is just for additional media purposes to assist in clearly understanding the subject of this article.
