Warning this is a rant...a long one at that.

Ok I am really getting ticked off here. And to be honest my feeling are more than a little hurt.I am sick and tired of Homeland Security profiling people and making dangerous statements. I am NOT a "enemy combant". I am not a "domestic terrorist". Yes I will peacefully protest. Yes I will write and call my elected officials and let them know how I feel about the job they are doing and about bills coming up for a vote. Does that make me bad? Does that make me dangerous? All those things are perfectly legal. Yet because I support third party candidates, I supported Ron Paul in the last election, I believe in states rights,I belong to Campaign for Liberty, and I am a tea party goer....Homeland security labels people like me and people like me as dangerous. And a possible threat. Well want to know something about someone they think is a threat? Here you go. I am pro-choice. I think the fact that every election year it is disgusting how politicans use women's bodies and their rights to that body as a political tool. It is degrading. If you don't believe in abortion don't have one. Leave everyone else alone and keep your nose out of other people's business. I believe in Gay marriage. It is modern day discrimination that htey do not have the same rights as the rest of us. Don't give me the whole scanity of marriage speech. HEck with the divorce rate in this country that arguement does not hold up. If you don't like gay marriage....don't marry get into a gay marriage and once again stay out of other people's business. I am pro small government.Why? Because they do not have the right to dictate or micro manage people's lives. People have the right to succeed and fail. People have the right to make their own choices for the good or bad. people are not stupid. We are not children who need the government to tell us what to think and do all the time. So basically message there is "Hands off my life. I am perfectly capable of handling it myself and I find it insulting that you think I can't". Plus by nature government is wasteful and subject to corruption. SO smaller government means less waste and corruption. I am pro states rights.Why? Because one cookie cutter federal law is not going to work in all the states. Each state has it own issues and unique circustances. So let them make laws that work for them instead of trying to force them all the follow laws that don't work for them. It is like putting a square peg in a circle hole. I don't care how hard you try....it is not going to work. I hate lobbyist and special interest groups. Why? Because they corrupt the legislative process. They buy off our elected officials votes. THey give them millions of dollars to write bills to suit them. Do tell me who do our elected officials really represent? The poeple who elected them or the lobbyists and special interest groups with the deep pockets. The politicans pay the public lip service when they want your vote. But once they ahve it who do they really represent? I say we do have taxation without representation. Because they are NOT representing us. I support third party candidates because the democrat and republican party suck. Each has forgotten their roots and the people. ALl they care about is how to get more power, how to keep the other side from getting power and basically fighting like small kids on a play ground. Each screams about the others bad behavior while doing it themselves. Heck how many bad things were done during the Bush years, that people screamed about. But now that hte dems are doing it the excuse is "well bush did it". Like that makes it ok. Two wrongs do not make a right.They are the all part of the problem. NONE of them would know what biapartisanship or fiscal responsibility was if it bite them all on the butt and then they would still ignore it while paying the rest of us lip serivce. Bush wasted tons of money and the dems have already out done him in less than a year. When will the insanity end? They are running this country into the ground and laughing all the way to the bank with it.Using fear to get us to go along for the ride. Bush used 9/11 and the fear of it to get what he wanted. Now the Dem are using the fear of the ecomonic crisis to get everything on their wish list done.Which about 90% of will NOT help the economy. But they are scaring you into supporting it. They are not better than the CEOs and fat cats on wall street. If you think other wise you are fooling yourself. I will continue to support third party candidate elections until the time comes when one of the other major parties come to their senses. But I won't hold my breath. For those of you that read this whole thing. Thank you and I am sorry. I could keep going on but I need to cut myself off before my blood preasure completely sky rockets. So....am I extremist? Am I a danger to this country? Or is the fact that I think for myself the real threat here?
