| I view myself a libertarian more than the other 2 major parites because both democratic and republican parties have their pros and cons. Neither party is perfect, and I mainly believe our rights as individuals come before anything else.
Anyway, this doesn't mean I'll vote for a democrat as opposed to a republican in the next presidential election or vice-versa. I vote for whomever I feel will lead this country in the right direction to ensuring our freedoms as citizens in this beloved country and continuing our rights the way they've always been.
I'm also not saying the libertarian party is perfect either, but it's certainly a better choice than democrat or republican.
When I debate here, I generally try to start in the middle ground of it all. I hardly am ever left or right wing because like I said, they both have their flaws. Take a look at my signature, and you will see where I stand.
The government has no right whatsoever to regulate our lives and that they should do whatever is necessary to maintail our civil rights over anything else.
Right now, I think our government is a joke, and we need to do a 180 because all of our rights are pretty much meaningless as of now. It sickens me how stupid people can be when they get a little bit of power.
Sometimes to take 2 steps forward, we must take 1 step backward which is what our government needs to see. Things cannot just be done with the snap of a finger. There are too man people with their head in the clouds about a perfect world where their extreme views about something that most others could care less about because it's not a big issue or because what they think is right, is completely wrong, but they don't know it, because they are too busy hating each other over stupid shit.
Religion, profanity, animal rights, drugs, college, recycling, abstinence, manners, gun control, prostitution, cigarettes, these are things that may or may not be bullshit depending on who you talk to. Some people(including the government) are too focused on trying to force their views on others who don't want to be forced something because it just makes no sense in a lot of cases. The middle ground in my opinion is where the core of all problems lie. All this debating about all those topics in the first sentence of this paragraph can be easily solved by staying in the middle. Not necessarily being neutral about issues, but more or less explaining both sides to each topic, why one side might be more feasible than the other, or why the subject in it of itself is just plain stupid.
The government cannot have power over some of those things I mentioned in the first sentence of the previous paragraph, because it would violate our rights via the constitution of the United States. If someone hears the word 'fuck' on the radio, and are sensitive to that kind of language, they should reach out their hand and change the station. The government has no right forcing a radio station to not use certain language in their broadcast, and the same goes with television. Religion cannot be forced because everyone has the right to believe in whatever diety or no diety at all.
Left and right, I see the government removing more and more of our freedoms and I'm tired of it. That's why I chose this party, because it stands for our rights and freedoms and that's that.
