Lets keep Our Wars at Home

[reverendjeremiah]

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.

Welcome to the absurdity of politics. Good luck on finding ANY political party that fits your system of politics. I have searched for over a decade and found Teddy Roosevelt to reflect mine, but even then there are some differences. I like the Roosevelts (both), and I align with them on many things. I dispise any kind of prohibition, even though I understand they were doing it to bust the saloon/politician bosses. It wound up creating more criminals, just like modern prohibition is creating more criminals by the hundreds every day. I know what you are saying. Its hard to have faith in a constitutional Republic such as ours, but I still feel a healthy amount of national pride and accomplishment. Im a realistic liberal. I think the world without borders is a great concept to strive for, but I also think it is going to take much more time to create it. Sharing borders with Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan and (UGH) Somalia really doesnt appeal to me right now. Sharing borders with the "Dons" over in Mexico doesnt appeal to me as well. I could write a book on my political beliefs right now.
