Several
times recently, I have been accused by some of my readers of being
both a Democrat and a Liberal. (No TC this rant is not about you,
sit back down and eat your pie.) I find this accusations amusing and
somewhat puzzling but have pondered exactly how to respond to such
damning slander.
As
I have often said, I do not consider myself a Democrat or Republican
or Libertarian. I am neither Liberal or Conservative and probably
not a Moderate either, but that last one is a little harder to judge
so I'll leave it a maybe. I have always believed that the majority
of problems the US has is because everyone hides behind their
association's bulwarks (Well Bull something anyways) and toes the
party line no matter how messed up the party or organization is.
The
only way we can fix what is wrong with the US is to realize that the
answers are found exclusively in the Liberal/Democrat camp or in the
Conservative/Republican bus. The answers have to lie somewhere in
between but not enough people are willing to meet half way to even
try to work the problems out. These caricatures of politics is what
prompted me and others to come up with insulting names like
Damnocrats/Reboobicans/Liarberals/Cantservatives and Tea Beggars
because so much of the DC power pile of poop are running gags of the
Classic definitions of their parties. (Well except maybe for the Tea
Party which is pretty much spot on.)
So
how to describe me and my rather odd view of politics? I have been
struggling to come up with a new term that describes the way I think
politics should be handled. A tad of liberal mixed in with a smidgen
of conservative swished around with a teensy bit of moderation just
to make things a little less spicy and poof! Put that in the old
oven for two hours at 450 degrees and you've got...?
So
what to call myself? I have honestly no clue. The best I have come
up with so far is either Conservable or Liberative. Neither of which
really sing to me and my befuddled headparts. So I am putting the
question to you, my multitude of readers. (Gads there is a lot of
you now. I am rapidly becoming at risk of becoming famous.) You too
can win fame and semi-fortune by coming up with the next big
Political Barb.
The
best suggestions will be shown here in the Blog and the winner will
receive...well I will be grateful. Come on, folks! Hit me with
your best shot!
End of Rant.
