Sometime not long after finishing college, I began to "awaken" politically. I'm not saying I became intensely involved, I just began considering my beliefs and where they fit into the established landscape. I gradually realized that my personal political "platform" did not fit the conventional molds, and I tended to describe myself as a mix of various Republican, Democrat, Conservative, and Liberal identities. In other words, I was strange...
I continued to digest this over the years, then eventually came to realize it wasn't I who was strangely calibrated, it was our political landscape which had become twisted and irrational.
My core purpose is to articulate that revelation in a manner which others can follow and potentially get on board with, in a much more direct route than my years of contemplation. I aim to convey this in relatively simple (not simplistic) yet intelligent (not elitist) terms which can be passed on to others. In other words, I do not want to be a propoganda-spewing Rush Limbaugh who deals in irresponsibly over-simplified mantras, nor an egghead who can only be appreciated by academics and political professionals. I aim for a middle ground which can be grasped by any citizen who is willing to put forth an open mind and modest amount of mental effort -- which I hope any voting citizen would.
Your thoughtful comments in agreement or dissent are more than welcome.
Sincerely,
