I’m curious, I wanna know what y’all “identify” as politically. Republican. Libertarian, etc
Go
I remember growing up my dad used to talk about very Republican stuff. I know he hated Carter, and voted for Reagan.
I used to consider myself to be a Republican for lack of a better choice - sometimes I still vote that way, as I’m guessing many of you here also do.
Then I learned about Libertarians, and was thrilled to find that better choice. Or so I thought. I’ve found that there are so many goofballs in that party as well, that I can’t really say they represent me either.
Best I can explain it is to say I’m a Responsible Constitutionalist.
I believe smaller government makes fewer people slaves of the central powers.
I believe that the powers not specifically granted to the Government should be back in the hands of the people.
I believe the government needs to get out of the business of competing with private businesses, including schools. Especially schools.
Separation of church and state is important, but what we have right now is persecution of church by state, in an effort to remove the moral code on which this country was founded. Without morals we are lost.
That is not to say that social tolerance is a bad thing - I believe that what we do that hurts nobody else is nobody else’s business, whether it’s in the garage, the backyard or the bedroom.
I believe taxation is theft. Money is not the root of all evil. Money is merely a physical representation of time and ingenuity, which we use to trade for the products of others’ time and ingenuity. The forceful taking of such is the same as stealing pieces of my life.
That’s as much time and ingenuity as I can spare on this subject at the moment.
