| I have one word for politics -- SUCKS! I am liberal in my leanings. Concerning the politics of equality, the only thing I do not agree on is gay marriage. Marriage is a religious institution legally sanctioned by government. Each religious institution should have the right to support or deny LGBT people marriages. If LGBT people don't like their religion's decision on the matter, then they should find a new religion. "God" and religion should be totally removed from politics. Wearing or not wearing a US flag lapel pin does not make you either a patriot or a non-patriot in my book. What does make you a patriot is in your heart, your mind and your actions. That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. The signers of the Declaration of Independence, the Minute Men, George Washington, men from the plow fields in tattered clothes huddled in the Valley Forge encampment of the Continental Army, Union Colonel Anderson of Ft. Sumter, Confederate General Robert E. Lee, Union General W.T. Sherman, and many others where both patriots and non-patriots. That is, of course, depending upon your point of view, each is both a patriot and a non-patriot. Being an agent of positive change is my definition of "patriotism." Because he's the best come along in a long, long time and represent a new direction our country sorely needs: Obama, Obama, Obama. |
