I am so tired of political labels. If you like Gw and his administration you are a conservative, if you think he’s an idiot you’re a liberal. Well I got news for you folks; GW and his ditto-heads are idiots in my opinion and according to the media that makes me a liberal.
OK so I’m a liberal, but by being a liberal doesn’t that mean I should hate guns, hate money, hate religion, and embrace socialism? Well surprise! I don’t hate any of those things and I am in no hurry to hug a socialist. So then I must be a confused conservative. Well if I am a conservative I must hate all dissenting opinion, hate minorities (who don’t vote republican at least), love my religion (but hate yours), and be motivated solely by money and power. Well I must be one very confused conservative because that doesn’t fit me either.
So what am I an Independent? Well I really can’t say yes or no to that because I don’t understand what exactly they stand for, and for that matter neither do most of them from what I gather. From what I see an independent is someone who wants his cake and likes to eat it as well. They want to be nice to minorities but not too nice, they want to save the environment but not too much, and they want to be rich but not too rich. Talk about confusing!
Ok then I must be for the Green Party. No, I don’t think so; these guys scare me the most out of all of them. A party full of PETA people no thank you. Forgive my ignorance if I’m wrong but that is the idea I get when I see them out at fairs and such. Sure I want animals to be well treated but sometimes these people go way too far; with all the fake reports of animal cruelty they generate in the media and Utube videos of complete nonsense, these people are borderline psychopaths.
Libertarian? Exactly what the heck is a libertarian anyway, can anyone of you tell me honestly? I have no idea about them other than they are almost conservative. Kind of like Republican-Light or fat-free conservative.
When it’s all said and done I am an American plain and simple. I appreciate my religion and yours, and believe we each have the right to choose our own freely and without oppression. I believe that Abortion is an issue that can only be decided by a woman (let there be a vote on it excluding all men and we will get the best answer). I believe that everyone should be taxed fairly. I believe that same sex marriage is none of my business and ridiculous to make a federal law for or against it. I believe that any infringement on our rights is a threat to all of us. I believe I should have the right to bear arms in defense of my home and to protect myself from all enemies both foreign and domestic. I believe that making things better for the wealthiest 10% is not always going to make things better for me. I believe in equality and justice for all. And I believe our founding documents are as close to divinity of purpose as we humans can ever get.
Lastly, I believe each of us has the right to our own opinion and we should voice that opinion as best we can. Without this we cannot govern ourselves and our government will have no one holding them accountable.
I will leave you with one last question; Has anything ever been better when the richest 10% go unchecked? Well it wasn’t so good for the Romans, French, Chinese, Russians, Germans, and virtually every other country or empire you can name.
