Hello. I'm a young American man. Everyday I watch the news or read the paper I think to myself, "this is crazy!" I can't believe the times we are living in and I worry about the future. I've been a father for two years and wonder if my own parents felt the same way I do today. I realize I'm not like everyone else. I consider myself a free thinker. I typically find myself disagreeing with the popular opinion and wonder why?
Politically, I'm a radical moderate. I voted for Bill Clinton and George Bush. I believe women should have the right to kill their unborn baby and I'm not going to sugar coat it and call it choice. I believe people who intentionally kill people should be sentenced to death. I believe we should put land mines on our borders and shoot to kill anyone illegally trying to enter the country. I believe Americans should do the work illegal immigrants are doing today. I believe every thing should be available in a free market. I believe in the freedom of religion and equally in no religion. I believe Americans should be free to do anything they want to themselves as long as they don't directly impact others. I believe all drugs should be legal. I believe smoking should be allowed in all public places. I believe everyone should have the right to a gun. In fact, I believe everyone should have the right to a rocket launcher too. I believe government should fear the people. I believe in freedom of speech even if it's hate. I don't believe in hate crimes or affirmative action. I don't care what my great grandparent did to yours. Suck it up and stop crying. I don't believe it takes a village to raise to a child. In fact, I don't care if your child doesn't have health care or an education. You should have worked harder or you shouldn't have had children. The government should only provide basics to maintain and protect a free market. Socialization is a bad word. I love America and I'm proud to be an American. However, American blood should never spill for foreign freedom. I'm against the conflict in Iraq. To quote George Washington, "Trade with all nations and have political ties with none." All Americans should have access to equal treatment, but we are not all created equal. Life, liberty and happiness are not guaranteed, they are available for pursuit.
That is my rant and this is my blog. I hope you're open minded enough to check back and listen to my arguments. I invite your comments and debate. My goal is to provide a different point of view and possibly open your mind even if it takes a crowbar. :)
