I like to consider myself independent/libertarian. The things being stated here about liberals and conservatives are very true. I would venture to say that they are both equally ignorant. There are certain parts of the constitution they like, and there are parts that they consider completely irrelevant just because it is not in sync with what they want.
I would be considered conservative because of my opinions on guns, that's about it though. I wouldn't be described as liberal in most aspects, but liberal and conservative are things that only others would describe me as. I like to compare Libs and Cons to Nazis and Soviets, they both tend to support tyranny and offer freedom only to those who agree with them.
I can't really word out my thoughts, but seriously, Libs and Cons are equally horrible. That is why I identify myself as libertarian/independent. I like the idea of true and absolute freedom, I feel that the government should not interfere with our lives so much and that people have personal liberties that should be guaranteed whether I agree with them or not.
I don't think America would be better off as entirely liberal, or conservative. America will be better off when the two power-hungry tyrant parties fade away (not that it will ever happen), and a new party that supports true liberty takes its place. That's all just fantasy though. It won't happen and America is all too happy being the hypocritical, openly liberal, and privately conservative political cesspool that it is.
Also, I apologize for sounding like a bigot. To make my long post short, I hate dems (libs)and reps (cons), they are both hypocrites.  |
