Your ability to have such labels and monikers and attempts at being righteous or correct are laughable, and I find most of what people do today to be more laughable, so take your brainwashed non independent thinking ego driven out of this world reality and go be the loser peasant serf following lemming that your system is all about, you are no individual or self standing righteous anything, you are insignificant and nothing, absolutely nothing guy.[/QUOTE]

You and I are very like minded for sure. I have prefaced several posts by saying I'm neither Dem or Rep and just wanted share info, but still get name called or attacked. It is very sad, but I do not see how anyone can support or totally be aligned to either party. In the past I considered myself to be a Republican, and admit I still lean conservative. But, after much studying of our history and our government I found that the Republican party was not what I was always told that it was, or led to believe.
In my family I have had one in the Senate (Rep), and one in Congress (Dem), plus a very successful lobbyist. (successful as far as getting rich) The things I learned from them alarmed me, and started me questioning just how our government does work. Actually, it was my cousin that was a Dem, who I was very close to that educated me the most on "how the system worked."
The main problem that I have with Democrats is how they can defend 100% of what the party represents, their beliefs, goals, and agenda. How can anyone believe everything and anything they are told or read 100%?
I have Democrat family members and friends that would not accept me even politely asking them to research or consider anything possibly questionable. I am immediately a racist, bigot, nazi. etc.
I now refuse to have any attempt to have any discussions with any of them. That alone drives them crazy as they think it is their responsibility to convince me, or "educate" me. Why is it that they can't be open or even curious about having a rational discussion? When I was a strong republican I called them out on issues, and would not defend them for anything that I thought was not right.
I consider myself a man without a party, but I'm not going to fund or be part of one that does not represent at least the majority of the ideas that I stand for.
