Politics,
What is the purpose of the government. What are my values. What do I think about the nature of man. That is what I believe determines are own politics. basic...
Its not, who do you think is best for the job, or is he/she going to lead well. I don't really care as much as I did about politics and debate. People like a politician because of a few basic factors and most people are not going to change their minds. So I don't really like talking about it as much unless someone brings it up to me. The way I live my life should explain enough about what I believe.
Politics and Reliegion relate in this way. Religious people and politically impassioned people typically want others to believe what they believe. The difference I think comes when you examine who politically impassioned people happen to be. Usually on the liberal side of the spectrum. People know me and know I am conservative. My views are based mostly on my experience in raising my family up to this point, my faith, and what I think about man. I don't think highly about human nature. Most of us are prone to corruption without regulation and personal responsibility. My faith helps me their. So in politics anything enabling, justifying, victimizing, or rationalizing peoples problems I think is how you make a struggling man weak. When in my mind it is the struggle that makes us stronger.
In other words leave me alone. I think Gov. plays positive role in environment preservation, security, infrastructure, etc. Most people tend to believe the larger the bussiness the more prone to corruption (like man). For this reason I would rather not have a giant corporation called the federal government in charge of things like health, social security, education. It all comes down to what I think about man. Yes he/she does need regulation. But give man incentive and reward and apply those the things like ss, health, edu, I believe that empowers man. There's no better way to weaken someone then the give something to them no strings attatched. Another thing is the transition from voluntary charity to forced charity. I think charity and giving should at all possible be something that people choose to do because they want to help people.
So I don't really think much will change in the next election. I am not excited about the canadates. I think people look for something that is not there. I mentioned the impassioned liberals. I do think it comes close to being some kind of religion. It is just about as persuasive as the street missionaries you run into now and then. I hear about the many people fainting when they hear Obama speak and wonder. Nothing against him he seems sharp as a tack. But he is human. I just think could I ever get so into a politician that I become faint? Staged, or not its sad.
So there is a little political talk. So I am a conservative. and look I don't wear a nice suit and want to take advantage of poor people, I wear carharts and boots and want to go to work and come home to see my girls. I also don't wear Jesus shirts and hand out religious flyers in my driveway, I go to church not because I think Im good enough but because I know I am not. That, I think is how many people are. However I respect people and don't care to try to change with my words. At one time yes it seemed like a fun challenge but I have some other challenges now, not so fun.
