I’m a normal guy and, ironically, not a very good writer — hopefully you’re not here because of a ‘wtf moment’ while reading this blog. I’m a father, husband, veteran, and average dude who’s overwhelmed by how mindless and lemming-ish our country has become. I’m not a democrat or a republican, I’m an American. More importantly, I’m an American who is tired of sitting back and watching politicians divide us — using all manner of categories — in order to further their own quest for wealth and power. Whites versus blacks (or everyone, nowadays), rich versus poor, Christians versus Muslims, and many, many others. What are clothed as legitimate “fights” for freedom/equality/survival are manufactured conflicts. After all, why would you need a politician to lead you in a fight against _ if _ wasn’t an “enemy of freedom”? Just remember that, as the saying goes, “idolizing a politician [or political ideology] is just as crazy as thinking the stripper actually likes you.”
But you probably want to know my “politics” to decide if I’m part of your tribe or if you’re otherwise allowed to read what I write, per the doctrine and dogma of your particular political party. I’ll skip to the bottom: if you idolize your political party and hate the other one, then I’m probably not the guy to talk to. Another version of that saying ends with “as thinking you actually have a chance at winning the lottery.” Take your pick.
But you’re still reading, so you must really want to know. My politics are simple: I’m a minarchist. If you’re not familiar with the term, then you’re not alone. And, there’s a reason for it — no political party would be able to manipulate you into hating the other one if you did. Better stated, I am a “little L” libertarian — don’t hurt people and don’t take their stuff. Other than that, the Founders believed in personal liberty, national freedom, and the absolute smallest possible government that only did what was necessary. You’re likely to see quotes from their writings that support my position (or, rather, theirs).
