I've finally rounded out why the republican party has lost so much respect, and keeps getting negative numbers. It's not because of liberals, nor is it because or progressives. It's the morons that are elected to represent, what I find to be, a group of people who only want whats best for this country. Sure some are a little misguided and could do with a great deal of time away from the television, but those people exist in both parties.
The problem with democrats is that they very quickly make really sharp turns. Kind of like taking a sharp turn in a top heavy vehicle, things topple. Both parties have their problems, and in fact the whole separated party system is just a ploy by politicians to divide a once united peoples.
I personally don't take part in the party system. I pay attention to politics by gathering information from multiple sources, both liberal and conservative. I weigh each politicians words with their actions from the past, i.e; how they voted and what they're doing now. I look at who is trying to restrict our freedoms and what guise they are using, i.e; religion, acts of domestic terrorism.
To be quite honest we have more restrictions than freedoms. Our constitution was created with freedom in mind. Looking at it from a completely unbiased point of view, which is hard for many people. One can see that what is set forth in the constitution and the bill of rights protects everyone regardless of what the believe in. It gives people the right to believe what they want and not have to face persecution. It limits the powers of both the National and State governments, though it has a high emphasis on promoting states rights within reason.
I'll use the first amendment as an example. This amendment prohibits the making of any law respecting an establishment of religion, impeding the free exercise of religion, abridging the freedom of speech, infringing on the freedom of the press, interfering with the right to peaceably assemble or prohibiting the petitioning for a governmental redress of grievances.
This means that the states cannot pass laws because of religious beliefs. There is no grey area, they cannot do it because that would mean they are, in some fashion, passing a law that respects an establishment of religion. Which infringes on the rights of the people. This means that any laws passed banning gay marriage, or banning abortion, because of religion are to be deemed null. States cannot pass such laws based on religious beliefs because federal authority trumps state authority when it comes to the constitution and the bill of rights.
Another thing is that allowing abortion, transgender rights, gay marriage and a myriad of other things is a must in a government such as ours is supposed to be. Why? Because of the right to privacy. People should feel secure in their private information. The founding fathers knew this, which is why it is implied through out the bill of rights.
Just as people are allowed to stock up on guns for what ever reason, so long as they're not intending to go on a rampant murder spree. So to are people allowed to take part in these things that the government, and the people, is currently feuding over.
The truth about the so called "controversies" around these things is that they are smoke screens used to distract us from the real problems. The problems that the government is creating and forcing us to clean up. Low wages, chemical food tampering, corporate interference with the political process, the false war on drugs, the false war on terror, destruction of our planet. The list is almost endless.
If my words have pissed you off, or stuck a nerve. Good. Maybe it'll open your eyes to what's happening. We are on the brink of a war that would bankrupt this country. If we strike against Syria, then it's likely that will draw retaliation from other countries. America is currently the only country that is intent on attacking them for something that has nothing to do with us. The UK has said they won't interfere. China and Russia are watching with anticipation for us to fuck up. One little screw up is all it takes for a country to incite World War 3. This time our country will be the oppressors. This time it is us who will suffer the most. Our once great country will fail, hard, should we attack unprovoked or for no reason.
We will lose everything.
