Political position: Abstract moderate.
I have no party and I personally think politicians should be locked in a room to thoroughly debate everything to the end. That room should contain some knives and perhaps some pistols. Should they kill each other oh well. Guess they weren't as civilized as they like to pretend. Anyone that really...really...wants to lead probably really shouldn't.
Can I discuss politics. Sure if you really must. Do I care if you feel you are my polar opposite in this regard? No I don't. I vote my mind and experience and I welcome you to do the same. The great part is that I welcome the chaos of political conflict as it prevents easy consensus and abuse of military and legal powers. Feel free to tell me how ignorant I am as I use my right to vote to keep the dominant forces against each other. After all, again, I've seen up close and personal what happens when 'the Decider' makes it fast and simple. There is no way to put Humpty Dumpty back together again.
My personal opinion is:
That liberals often forget that they are centralizing power that can be abused and that the conservatives would happily abuse that power just to prove it can be done. See they told you it could be done let them show you. It's a test..no really...we'll all have a good laugh later.
The progressives are often not engineers with loads of experience. They like the conservatives seem to think if you just pour money into *anything* it'll just produce the best results. No it won't. If your society lacks Justice and is one endless distraction all that money will be blunted. I like the idea of progress but evolution can't be forced or it wouldn't be evolution.
That Libertarians have picked a great position with little power and little chance of getting power. Though often I hear they voted mistakenly for Obama in the name of 'change'. Odd that. Then they proceed to explain that was a bad choice but surely their next will be better. It's a safe place to be where they steer their group to the best choice for their position. What position? Be careful here I am acutely aware of the Founding Father's history.
The real conservatives. These are the people that like what they have now and want to maintain it. What is it that they want to maintain? Right now we have what I want...2 dominant parties at each other's throats. So in the sense I like that I can sympathize I want to maintain that situation.
The conservatives. Let's get real here. You are *NOT* a conservative if you seek to fundamentally alter the current situation. Especially if you start by referring to the past in intervals in which you never lived. Especially if your story sounds like utopia. The harder the pitch to change I bet if I look under the mask you have an another motive. This is really very much like the Libertarians as you seek a comfortable mask for your agenda. Though unlike the Libertarians who can avoid risk by not holding dominance these folks have plenty of dominance.
The corporate facist. Not to be used senselessly. The corporate facist is all about evolving markets and systems to produce the greatest production. Everything comes second. People's quality of life. Justice. Fairness. This is a war and we all have to sacrifice. Well oddly all except the 'special ones'. The magical executive leadership that is the 'Decider'. A position achieved by those born to rule. Do not dare to fly too close to the sun for only those of birthright are capable to be feudal lords. These people can't decide whether they prefer the mask of the Monarch, the zealous God(s), or the Bourgeois. On the plus side they are agile as long as they don't have to do the welding, the cutting, the field work, and there's sufficient inferior slave labor underfoot (or that be created by sabotaging the economy and *all* labor protections). Some of them occasionally do some dirty work just to prove to themselves how 'easy' it is (for the 5 hours they did it). These sorts will be first to notice that my hands and feet have callouses, obviously I am to be put in my place (I wish them luck trying).
Utopia exists in your head after a good orgasm. *Any* political position incapable of 'surviving' without perfection is incapable of surviving in the real World less the World is an orgy in an orgasm. All of my statements above will incite someone. How dare I? I dare because I am a realist. I am my toughest critic and if you can't take that critique to your dainty little World take this. I have altered the political landscape a few times for both the Democrats and GOP. I see your positives and your negatives. If you can't grasp the fairness of my position don't waste your time trying to convince me. I've seen the blood of the innocent we have all spilled in the name of Justice, and greed, and power, and all the things the moral claim are the virtues they seek to embody. Your failure to evolve is your problem...hence I am dominant...do not agree well there's not a darn thing you can do about it. Feel free to piss all over the mask of virtues you claim to wear and try if you must, but just remember from the minute your civility comes second to winning you lost a piece of yourself. I don't need to win just help put the dominant forces on the battlefield instead of their pawns.
If you are the sort of person that decides how I should feel on this topic either from on top or bottom and can't deal otherwise we night have a problem here. I watch John Stewart, Stephen Colbert, Glenn Beck, Fox News, MSNBC, BBC and Al Jazeera occasionally. I am more than capable of running businesses and I've worked my way up to here. If you can't accept a difference like I can, or stand to risk being wrong if you challenge me to prove it (just as I love to be proven wrong...because it means good things will happen), this might be really frustrating. It's never personal with me unless you try to kill me or sabotage me. Then it's personal.
