First of Many

There is a place for everything, I am guessing a video game site is really not the place for blogging about politics. For me it was missionary work, trying to bring the truth to people who enjoy spending their time living vicarious lives through pixels. I love gaming, but that has to take a back seat to the problems facing the United States.

I am a conservative when it comes to foreign policy, taxation, and the role of government. When it comes to social issues, I can be seen as liberal-I support gay marriage (as long as the public deems it to be acceptable) and I am pro-choice. As awful as abortion is, I think by making it illegal sets a dangerous precedence when it comes to the government interfering with our bodies.

As far as I see it-the government should stay out of our lives. According to the constitution, the Government's purpose is to defend the nation, levy taxes and tariffs, negotiate treaties in good faith. THEY ARE NOT supposed to legislate morality, they ARE NOT supposed to provide aid, they ARE NOT supposed to dabble or in present tense run health care-anything outside the aforementioned list is beyond the scope of the constitution.

Sadly we have a president who sees himself more as a Communist Chairman. He seeks to extend governmental power and have his say in the everyday lives of Americans. This cannot stand, and though writing words in the vastness of cyberspace may not be much, it is more than nothing at all.

I welcome all people here-If you agree with me, that is great...as long as it is what you believe based on the facts. If you disagree, that is also fine-as long as you have the facts to back it up. I am never ashamed to admit I am wrong, as I see it-that is a good thing as it gets me closer to the truth.

That is all I want-the truth, anything else is self defeating and pointless. If you welcome the truth, then post here and discuss-if not, educate yourself first.

    jk, of course :P you know how i feel, i'm glad you found a place where you can air your opinions freely. You're probably right; a gaming website isn't really the place, even though there (at least for the time being) you have a wider audience.

    Unfortunately, most of them are too young to care, or they will ignore your statements for the fact that they are there for leisure, and thus your efforts are wasted anyway; at least here, it is your own personal space to say whatever you want ^__^

    You go, brother! :)
