I have said for several years now, “I think therefore I am neither
Republican or Democrat.” People who are unaffiliated with a political
party, while sometimes thought of as being indecisive, are actually
people who demonstrate the ability to think for themselves. Anyone who
is blindly loyal to the platform of a political party has given up their
God-given right to exercise their independent thought processes. They
degrade their own worth.
If we are to solve the massive economic problems facing our nation, we will need innovative independent thinkers from all walks of life. They can contribute to solutions that will eventually benefit all of us, rather than blindly following the dictates of a political power structure that is only interested in its own self-aggrandizement.
“We the People” need to awaken to the sad fact that our nation is being exploited by both political power structures. They pass laws that apply to the masses and not themselves. They become adolescents and point fingers when this nation face devastating challenges and cries out for principle leadership. They manipulate the American people with lies, rhetoric and deceit, and continuously exploit the ignorance and lack of understanding of the people who elected them.
How is it possible that the best and brightest in the executive and legislative branches of our government can’t find common-sense solutions on the critical issues that confront us today ? We need to focus less on electing the intellectual and Ivy League elite of our nation and return farmers, factory workers, carpenters, teachers, law enforcement and military leaders to the highest offices of the land. When electing the individuals that our Congress envisioned during our founding, we will return a modicum of common sense and true leadership to our nation. When this happens, then and only then will America return to the pinnacle of spiritual and economic success.
Before you react to the above, ask yourself the following questions:
1) In the last ten years, have I voted outside of my political party?
2) Can you look at the actual issues involved in an election, and select a candidate that sees the issues the same way you do and not take into consideration the candidates political affiliation?
3) If I told you that if you are a Republican today, prior to 1864 your political philosophy would have made you a Democrat, would you take the time to read and find out if I was telling you the truth or not?
4) If I told you that if you are a Democrat today, prior to 1864 your political philosophy would have made you a Republican, would you take the time to read and find out if I was telling your the truth or not?
5) If I asked you the basic platform beliefs of the Republican, Democrat, Libertarian, and Green Party, would you know the difference, not just in whether those four parties actually existed, but what their political ‘agenda’ is?
The issues today are so blended, so interwoven due to the cultural background of this country. If you are unable to look on either side of the aisle and realize that sometimes the other side has a good idea and not discount it because “that’s what the Conservatives want to do”, or “the Liberals are just trying to empty our wallets” kind of mentality, then I contend you are a blind party loyalist.
People need to learn that it is okay to agree with the other guy without looking at their political affiliation. Just because you are a card carrying member of a union, or the NRA, or some other group, doesn’t mean you have to vote based on what you read or hear in their literature and TV ads. Folks do the research, if an issue is important to you, get off Facebook, turn off the TV, and start reading.
Learn how to use Google, learn how to use Bing, for God’s sake and the sake of this country, learn how to use that brain of yours and stop letting other people think for you and tell you what you think!

Misunderstanding all you see
It’s getting hard to be someone, but it all works out
It doesn’t matter much to me.” – John Lennon
