Ok thousands of people write the BOSMOS headquarters and ask me what political party I am part of. I just spoke with a lady who said that I was " a moving target..." I hear that my views are not cogent or consistent. I would submit they are VERY consistent and that is what bothers people. I try not to think in terms of party platforms but on the basis of what I believe is the best for our nation. I am called a bleeding heart liberal and war mongering conservative very frequently. Truth be told I am a registered republican.This is the deal. The issues today are not the the actual issues facing this country. Healthcare reform, taxes, gambling, gun control, medical marijuana, private property rights, etc are just side issues. I am not an anarchist at all. But if something doesn't directly violate the rights (not desires) of others I believe that you should be free to participate in that activity. The main issue facing this nation is the loss of freedom that we are experiencing. This country is great for many reasons but the main one is that we are free. Free to speak, free to love, free to hate, free to make money, free to give money away, free to worship the God of our choice or no God at all. It is all about freedom. It is freedom after all that leads to wealth, peace, morality and more freedom.
We must be careful in our collective to desire to "do the right thing" that we don't take from ourselves the freedom that so many have sacrificed for.
Lets please focus on freedom rather than issues.
Beautifully expressed!!!
