John,
Thanks for the kind words, John. I usually don't get many in this forum!
Oh, believe me, I am sick of some Republicans as well simply because of there
non-difference to liberals and Democrats (Decept-o-crats around here) as well.
With Social Security, I agree that the system and the millions that are
receiving the benefits now should not be touched, that would be incomprehensible
for the years that they had to pay for it. However, with my generation (I'm 25)
I should have an option to defer some of it into a mutual fund or something
else, not letting the government handle and control it as much anymore!
As for wackos, rightism and leftism has it shares, from militant militias to
environmentalist wackos to celebrities going to Vietnam cheering as fellow
citizens get slaughtered by SAMS (Jane Fonda, anyone?) to Woody Harrilson (sp?)
chaining himself to the Golden Gate Bridge because of some trees getting chopped
down or something, causing one of the worst traffic jams in history. There are
many in either branch, it just the right ones seem to be portrayed as "evil" and
the like, while the leftist ones are "concerned" citizens (Thanks to the
ever-present liberal bias on most media outlets).
Any Republican who adds laws seems to me to be a walking oxymoron, true
conservatism dictates that government should start repealing unnecessary /
unfruitful/ outdated laws, and concentrate on what really matters.
I don't a great deal about the Libertarian party, I have received numerous
fliers from them, I like most of their ideas, but there are some as a Christian
I just can't support. I just don't think they have enough clout to do too much
as of yet, and with the ever present left approaching (Think of the last 10
years, especially), I don't think they can win for right now. Maybe soon, but as
for the personal nitty-gritty, any non-left person is a friend of mine! :)
