Lets keep Our Wars at Home

[Cinjin]

What can I say Rev.... I agree with a lot of what you write brother.

Because I hang center on many things, other things I hang left. I try to avoid extremism. Sometimes for the moment I may get caught up in it, but I find myself swinging back center wise again. I dispise extreme left and right. I also find myself agreeing with some of the left and not much of the right.

Maybe you should swing more to the center as well if you like what and how I say political things. Not all centrist types are mindless sheep. We think about who we vote for before we vote for them. Personally, I thought I was voting for a moderate when I voted Obama. It turns out he is center right, plutocratic, cleptocratic, corporatistic, and everything I expected from the blue dog Democrats. I honestly cant see where the Republicans are opposed to him other than his race and his political party affiliation. Obama is a moderate Republican in my book.

Me? Im a Teddy Roosevelt Progressive. Im a Liberal with a gun. I'm a centrist with a social conscious. I'm a Bull Moose Idependant who wishes a Bull Moose party existed nationally and locally for him to vote for.

On occasion I do find myself overly aggressive ... not necessarily wrong, but not necessarily open-minded either - but I'd like to think only for the moment. I claim no political party because I despise politicians as a whole. I think they have proven themselves to be gutless liars time and time and time again. That being said - I always try to maintain a trace amount of hope for a society I have no faith in. As fucked up as it may be, this is the only country I have to call home and I do love it. I think it's our duty to at least attempt to improve it. Obviously this is sometimes where the problem begins because so many of us have very different ideas about what that exactly entails.
