political parties

The end of the Republican party

As most people know election are coming up which makes me think more about politics than I would any other year. This year I’m not quite old enough to vote and will have to wait 4 years for the next presidential elections. One of the topics I have been particularly set on is how voters decide which candidate would perform the best. Not only that but how does one pick a political party.

Have you ever sat and read the things on a public bathroom urinal or stall dividers. You can find some of the most cruel, heartless, and, most of the time, ridiculous dribble that can be found in ink. I always expect something new when venturing to the public restroom, but I never expected their to be anything like the political hate I saw today.

Young people have always been more likely to identify themselves as liberal rather than conservative. I, a young person however, prefer the Republican party and am conservative on just about all issues. Why is it that when speaking about politics, people are so quick to personally attack me and my ideology rather than actually discuss the issues?

Picture this: CNN and Fox News are competing for viewers. A quaarter of Fox's viewers decide to switch to CNN for their news, while half as many switch from CNN to Fox. Is this enough for CNN to crow it's final victory and proclaim that the viewing public has chosen them once and for all? NO! That would be crazy.

But is happening on Capitol Hill. 

This is a copy of a letter I wrote to my local paper this summer, in response to a barrage of attacks on both liberals and conservatives.

American government has become unbelievably uncontstitutional over the past century, right under our noses. The New Deal, the unexpicable reluctance of Congress to actually declare war, the usurpation of states' authority by the federal government, and more.
