Once upon a time, in America, we had liberty. Liberty has been good to us.
The United States didn't become a super power because of its great military, great leadership, or even because of capitalism.
Liberty did that for us.
People came to our country for liberty, not money. Liberty made us that shining city on a hill. Not religion. Not overwhelming military force, or the economy.
Immigrants have always known that our country was the best place to live, because if you had a work ethic, and a good idea, you could become rich, or at least make a life for yourself. The government left you alone, and let you live your life as you chose to live it.
Now unfortunately, we're moving away from liberty, and its not just the Democratic party that is trying to take liberty away.
If you want to make something illegal because its morally wrong, you are part of the problem.
If you support wiretapping without a warrant (I support getting a warrant afterwards at least), you are part of the problem
If you support governments over-reaching its authority on eminent domain issues, you are part of the problem.
You see, the Democrat and Republican parties are not the problem. They are a symptom (like a cough tells you that you are sick). After all, we seem to be letting both parties get away with taking our liberties, and we do nothing to stop them. We keep sending them back, and acting like we have to vote for them in blocks, or the other side will "ruin America".
This is why I support a totally write-in election where spelling counts, and you have to know about what you are talking about for your vote to count (maybe you'd have to tell us who Sec of State is or something to that effect).
While the Democrats and the Republicans act like their fighting to keep the chaos factor in check, secretly their both taking our liberty away, little by little.
This is a bi-partisan problem, and it requires a tri-partisan solution.
