What am I??

I think that I am a rightwing-warmonger-antiobama-centrist-leftist-purist. At least that's what I'm told.


I find myself completely against ALL of the government surveillance programs. Against ANY military action in Syria as things stand. Against the President due to his stance on these two issues, which to me, outweigh everything else he may have done or will do. Against the Republican party and it's leadership(not necessarily against Republicans) for lies, propaganda, and pretty much the unadulterated destruction of several facets of our country. Against Miley for grossing me out the other night while supporting her right to be provocatively stupid. Against party politics, but more like against parties in general. Against having my choices of who to vote for be greatly dependent on who pocketed more cash from lobbyists which makes me left with a choice of voting for the lesser of two evils.

I don't know what I am anymore. I don't belong with the republicans and it has become increasingly clear through my own observations as well as by statements of others that I don't belong with the Democrats either. I don't belong with the libertarians, authoritarians, nor the fascists. I don't consider myself a leftist, socialist, centrist, right winger, peace purist, nor war monger.

So, I'm me. And maybe giving my allegiance to any politician, political party, or group because of a name or a letter following a name is a bad idea... for me. And maybe deciding on who I vote for based on which person is the least incompetent to represent the will of the people and not the lobbyists, is a better move. I refuse to tow the line for anybody, anymore.

Like me, hate me... feel indifference towards me, it's okay.

I'm just me.
