Giving thanks always

Who am I?

I recently filled out a voting absentee registration. We did it way in advance this time. Our votes didn't get counted last time. Even though I have a hunch it wouldn't have mattered. But since I didn't get to vote, I feel like I don't have a right to make comments about where our country is going. Anyways, on the registration it asks what political party I follow...hmmm.... lets see. Green Party? nah...Communist? Nope...Democratic Party? No way man!... Socialist? Not so much... Republican? Getting closer....Ah...Libertarian? That's it!!! I've decided as much as I thought I was a Republican, I'm really not...too broad, too wishy washy. They have some good stands but they really aren't fighting for what I want...or really for what any of us should want. Now the Libertarian party has some bad stereotypes associated with it. Even ones that I had placed on them before really thinking about what it means to be Libertarian. For example the platform on abortion. They are pro choice. And some people would be completely turned off by the whole party because of that. But the truth of the matter is that they believe in smaller government that can't tell us what we can and can't do. It's not just about our choice of life or death...but our choice of everything we do. The government has a say about the smallest things concerning our day to day being and that should make you mad! This is my life. I want to do with it as I please and I take full responsibility for whatever consequences that may follow. It's pretty exciting. And their platform is so much more than just individual freedoms. Take a look sometime.
