don't come home ah drinking with loven on your mind

I consider myself a very opinionated person and so for my last blog I felt that it is only right to throw down my opinion on several major issues that I feel passionate about.
My political beliefs.
In past blogs I have spoke about specific issues, and on what sides of the issues I stand on but I don’t ever think I have an overview of how I really feel about the government. To sum up my beliefs I consider myself libertarian leaning conservative. Do not be confused by the term conservative, because the Republicans have stolen it and twisted the meaning. Republicans and Democrats are both socialist and fascist just in different aspects. For fascism the Republicans have anti abortion, which I do not believe in abortion, but I will speak more about that later, they also try to force religion down the throats of every American which I don’t agree with it. The Democrats fascism is affirmative action which tells companies that they have to hire so many people of different ethnicities as opposed to hireling the most qualified which is utterly fascist, also they are pro abortion (I’m sorry pro life), which is fascist, also their views on gun control laws are fascist (keep in mind I am generalizing the common beliefs of both parties, and also they both have more fascist ideas I am just using these few to get my point across.). So what is the solution to this travesty, an answer that would please everyone (or almost everyone), extreme states rights. I don’t believe this would eliminated the fascism from the parties I believe however that the fascism would not be able to hurt anyone this way. When the federal government, tells America that people are allowed to have unprotected sex with an unlimited number of partners without the possibility of having raise any children some people sit over well with this idea, but for others it’s like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole, you know it’s going to be hard to get it in there but you’re going to try like hell to make it fit. Keep in mind this is just an example if there were no federal laws about abortion for it or against it the states would be allowed to make the laws that they feel there people want, if you don’t like how the states handle the decision you could move to a different state that does support your beliefs, bingo bang boom everybody’s happy. The only thing the federal government should do is have a military, a federal reserve, and a few other things but certainly they should not have as much power as they do. On of the main problem with big government is when a major event happens (our current economic crisis) and the public wants answers the answers we get are pretty much two little kids pointing the finger at one another. If the government was smaller it would be a lot easier to find the culprit of major event, instead of playing the blame game.
Illegal immigration.
Everyone has heard the stories of people jumping over the boarder so they can live a better life in America than they were living in their country, and these people should be forced to stay persecuted in their own country as opposed to stealing our job’s, just kidding. Honestly how effective are the people who lost their jobs, at their jobs. The answer to this is if people really care that much about their job gets a job with better job security, duh. There are lots of people though that do happen to come into the county not to pursue a better life but to peddle drugs, and I shall address this topic later. The answer to the illegal immigration debate I believe is periodical open boards, and amnesty. Give all immigrants the right to be citizens so they can pay their taxes and contribute to the progression of society. If every immigrant paid taxes we would certainly have enough revenue to build better borders. Which by the way I believe the borders should only be closed in war time, and times of economic hardships, everyone should have the right to the American dream. If this were to happen we could easily have the true illegal immigrants that only want to pedal drugs easily escorted out of the country, fairly easy with the newly acquired revenue. We need to stop telling other counties to keep their tired, their poor and their huddled masses, we need to tell the countries we will take their tired, their poor and their huddled masses like our ancestors did a hundred years ago when the statue of liberty was brought over.
And on God.
My vision of god I believe differs greatly than what most people are used to hearing. My belief in god came to me after reading several works of Plato, and Tomas Aquinas’s treaties on god. It summed up is merely god is not really a being, or a person; god is merely a characteristic something can have. Essentially that characteristic can only be given to something inconceivable; the inconceivable thing is given the characteristic of good. By that I mean god is merely everything that is inconceivable, and good. To give an example of this the big bang theory, the big bang brought everything into existence, since the big bang is still surrounded by many questions it is still inconceivable of how it happen and I am sure many would agree with me that whatever really created life is good, there for the big bang if it is true, which is impossible to know, has the characteristic of being god. I will now put my theory into a biblical story that is renowned to be true. Moses leading the Jews across a split red sea. There are many documents that state that the red sea actually did split, in the manner depicted in the bible. What made the red sea split however is inconceivable, and it is renowned to be good because it allowed many people to escape slavery.

This are just a few of my beliefs question them If you must I will do my best to defend my positions. I am for sure I did not layout all my idea’s, and for that I am sorry, also sorry if I left anything out of these, ideas of mine.

  1. I'm fascinated at how your political and religious beliefs are intertwined. This is true
    for me, too. That's probably why you feel so passionately about your beliefs.

    Jake, have you read Ayn Rand?
