I hate labels. I am a registered Independent I am a Christian. I am known to be generous, I am known to be a prude, mostly I mind my own business. I also lived for several decades, and I have a long memory. The USA has gone downward due to liberal policies, and anyone who cannot see that is in major denial. It also hurts my heart to see people making blanket statements regarding one group of people against another. Maybe we can be more compassionate when we realize that all people are victims of very screwed up systems, its great if you are wealthy enough to rise above all of that, but the majority of us still all need to get along and get through the day. If we live our lives with the guiding principles of Christianity, it starts to become obvious who is wrong and who is right. If you take the leftist philosophy to its conclusion, you will see how many freedoms we lose, if you take the far right to its conclusion, we risk the same thing, both roads lead to fascism or a police state one way or another. In the end, what hill will we die on? Mine is freedom, the idea of any government authority coming into my life uninvited, and wanting to control it, makes me very unhappy. I follow the law, I commit no crime, I earned everything I own and have, so, leave me alone. I am not hurting anyone.
I agree. I am only registered republican because it allowed me to affect real change in Utah politics at a local level before Mittens was inatalled by voter machines & then a very unpopular law that only passed coincidentally after machines were brought in.
Ultimately we can govern ourselves via Christian principles & everything generally works out.
