I am a tree hugging, God
fearing, Tea Party sympathizer, gun toting Libertarian.
What does this mean? This means
that I love nature and along with studying scripture I can find God by standing
in the middle of the woods. I can be at
home in a church, fellowship with others or hanging out with my husband around
a bon fire banging on a drum. We all
must go by our own drum as God has made us perfect in his own way. My
worship of God combines all things with in my life. My spiritual belief also drives how and who I
vote for to help drive the country.
My political beliefs have changed with in
the last few years. This is true because
I have opened my eyes to where the government has gone in the last Presidential
election. We are a country that fought
for our freedoms from a government too far away to tell us how to live our
lives. This is why the United States
government must stay small and the states should be allowed to continue to
govern themselves. In both the Tea Party
movement and Libertarian Party small government is essential to the liberty of
the nation’s people. We enjoy the Freedom
of Religion, Speech, to keep and bear arms, the right of due process, to not
quarter a soldier during war without owner permission, shall not be subject to
double jeopardy, speedy trial, right of trial( common law) excessive bail,
rights by the constitution shall not be denied and state rights. If we as a nation allow for the government to
become too big then our rights given to us by God and the Bill of Rights seen
fit by the founding fathers will soon disappear.
I have seen that all political parties
have persons that express the small government rule of thumb. It has been most prevalent in the Tea Party
and Libertarian side of the Republican Party.
We as citizens have a responsibility with in the next couple of years to
once again come together and remember our roots. Yes, this country has made horrible mistakes,
but we have fought both violent and non-violent to heal not only the land but its
people. For example, we went to war with
one another with the country’s only Civil War to end slavery. A man of God in name of Martin Luther King
jr. fought with words to end segregation and to teach that we are all equal in
the eyes of God. It has taken men of God
to heal this country. We must go back to
our faith to bring America to her exceptionalism once again.
