It's hard being a middle of the road moderate republican these days...
My good "uncle" is always watching, so I can't really say much about the current administration. Lets see what I can say.
One side of me loves Bill O'Riley, the other side wants to gut him like a trout and play cats cradle with his intestines. But then again, most of the time I want to kick hippies, so I can't say that I side with them a lot either.
I love nature and want to save the environment, but don't take away my right to kill furry animals.
I hate corporate strategy, but I'll be damned if I'm a communist.
I want to help the poor, but I've worked hard for my money, and what's mine isn't yours.
Something needs to be done about crime, but keep your fucking hands off my guns.
I can't figure out how we got into a war, but we're here now, so let's finish what we've started...
Every day I'm conflicted on all sorts of issues that leave my head spinning. I think that some times I try so hard to believe in one thing while at the same time suppressing all these little voices that say, "Well maybe that's not the right idea..."
It would be so much easier to just be a hard line conservative or an outspoken liberal where I only have one side of an issue to worry myself with.
I'm not a fence rider, so don't call me one. I agree with one side or the other depending on the subject.
It's just taking me a while to put that un-rational patriot behind me and come to terms with what I'm starting to believe.
It's like I've always said I guess... I'm part red-neck, part tree-hugger, and the first is always trying to kick the second's ass...
