““Dirty deeds and they’re done dirt cheap”. This is my basic understanding of what politics is. Which is why I don’t claim either political party. I’m not interested in politics. Politics is the game of gaining and maintaining power by election to public office.
The basic nature of this “game” involves lying, theft and force. As a libertarian, I desire freedom, which is being able to use your gifts and abilities to run your life as you see fit.
As you can see, these two concepts, “politics” and “freedom” are polar opposites. Politics is giving YOUR power to others, to wield as THEY see fit!
Freedom is maximizing your power to do as you see fit, as long as you’re aren’t lying, stealing and using force against others. Notice how close freedom is the Golden Rule. Do unto to others as you would have them do unto you.
I know which one seems more appealing to me!
