Kelly Clarkson backs the crazy uncle

My respect for Kelly Clarkson has gone way down. No, not for her singing, but for her backing of Ron Paul. When my mom and I were talking today, she said Paul sounded like a nice, easy-going man. I told her, he reminds everyone of their crazy old uncle. Everyone has or has had one, the one that can sound so comforting and smooth and sweet, but as soon as you hear his opinion about something, you realize how crazy he really is. Don't believe me? This is a man that thinks that drug regulations are unlawful. No, not only the drugs you get over the counter, but those a local dealer would sell. Think heroin is okay? He doesn't, but sees nothing wrong if someone wants to use it. The same with any other drug. I wonder how he'd feel if the pilot of the plane he was on or his doctor the night before surgery thought there was nothing wrong with using drugs? See a problem in the world that we might want to do something about, like hunger and AIDS? Rep. Paul says they need to help themselves, that no foreign aid is needed or should be given out. Defend our friends like Israeli? No, that is out, too. Our military is only to defend our country here, not to help our friends. That also means if a country wants to acquire nuclear warheads, well, he has said all countries have the right to have them. But yes, that isolationism will shrink the military budget, and make it easier to balance the budget. Own a business and want to decide who you can serve to, discriminating against everyone you don't like? You can do that under Paul's plan for our government. Now if you're discriminated against due to any reason under his idea of the government, like sex or race or sexual orientation, too bad. That owner will have the right to do business with whom he/she wants. Women, get raped and want an abortion, or have a pregnancy that endangers your life and want an abortion? Now, under his idea of America, you can't do that, as all abortions are illegal, with the penalty of prison for either performing it or having it done. And this is only part of Rep. Paul's ideas for America.
Kelly, I hope you keep making wonderful music, but are these your views, too? If not, look into Rep. Paul's views, and read his pamphlet, which you can google. Take his views to a conclusion of what would happen if he got his way and see what you think. If you have, and you agree, then I will be one of the few to say that I will continue to listen to your music. But I and many others will never want to buy your CD or see you perform. You have the right to your opinion, and we have the right to choose how we spend our money. For this, in that way, will always be America, at least I hope so.
