Let's Party!

"You have to fight for your right to party!"

So often are we asked the question of what our views are. It's like asking, "what size are you," but getting more of a "what do you want on your burger" kind of answer. It's an uncomfortable question to ask, but we think we know exactly where we stand - and everyone has a unique and instilled view on each issue. With so much response diversity, let's switch over to second person.

Are you a Democrat or Republican? OK, now are you a liberal or moderate? Are you sure? Have you ever considered the Tea Party, Libertarian, or even being Independent?

Now to first person. If only I could accurately explain what each stand for. Truthfully speaking, I just know the basics. Enough to know where I stand.

And on to third person. When I think of Democrats, I think of church camp where we all get in a circle and hold hands. Say some prayers and help out the world! Donations (ehem taxes, though that's not voluntary for the most part) are seized and distributed to those in need. The preacher, though, he dresses so nicely and this is his only job. No wonder he's so happy all the time. God is on his side and so is the cash before it goes out to the needy??

Republicans. They are rebels in their own right. What what they justify to themselves as right. Abortion equals murder even when the definition of life has not clearly been defined and when the root of problem may not exactly be that woman has a fetus. The issue goes deeper: poor and incomplete sex education, a proper role model, rape. And then there's healthcare. I'm sorry, only Republicans and their grandchildren are allowed the best; not the struggling workforce nor those who were recently laid off because the Repub's wealthy friends ignored signs of a collapse as long as money was coming in.

Then there's the Tea Party and Libertarians who don't agree with taxes and believe that everyone should fend for themselves no matter what. That's how I interpret it. If anyone would like to correct me then I would welcome that. Problem is, the message is not coming off strong enough and their's no champion. I can see that taxes, quite blantantly, sucks, but what is the answer then? Smaller government, but then there will be those who take advantage of the unregulated system. It's not so easy, this is a capitalist country. People are greed and selfish here. That seems to be how the economy just collapsed in the first place and why many are in debt. Wall Street had no rules and credit card companies didn't either. And now, look at America.

I guess there's always the Green and Constitution, however, they kind of impose ideas onto people that I would allow to more of a personal decision. I love God and His environment, don't get me wrong, but again, I am in this country which is trying with all its might to emphasize freedom. I realize that if I had to write an article called "Why Congress made this law" that money would be mention threes times for every mention of freedom, but hey, there other countries worse off. That is not an excuse, but it is a realization.

In the meantime, I'd like to vote independently. Yes, Independent. That is my choice for making choices on many an issue without having to play along with the rest of the party.
