Well now, a fine article and I am not a Democrat. I think the Democrats and the Republicans both need to heed Shakespeare's words when he says the problems are not in the stars but in ourselves. The political scene is nasty and getting worse as I see it. Good post.
Thank you! I definately don't consider myself a Democrat either, although I do find myself to be progressive/leftist. The party system is way too convoluted, and at this point we have parties striking down good ideas made by the others, just because they are the opposition. It's rediculous the lack of compromise that anybody will accept these days.
Exactly! Cut off your nose to spite your face. We are all in this together. I consider myself a conservative libertarian. Is that an oxymoron?
:-)
I've always considered libertarians as related to conservatives as socialists are to liberals (I dont mean that in a negative way) in that its all about small government, in that way being ultra conservative. I may be mistaken about the libertarian beliefs, though
