Be it the left or the right, the liberal or conservative, or whatever political party one has allowed to control their beliefs and thoughts, I have made it my mission to wipe the filth and grim of political spectrums that I've allowed to control my thought processes and feelings towards issues that really, in day to day life, don't have any effect on me what so ever.

Abortion... the debate continues, is it a fetus, is it a baby, are you evil for having an abortion, are you evil for apposing those that see it as a right. But in the broader spectrum of my life, why should I give a rat's ass? My wife and I have two wonderful kids and if a third one comes around, we won't abort it simply because it might put us in a pinch. But at the same time, why should I spend endless hours debating the ills or benefits of this act? So I give it to God and let Him judge.

The Death Penalty rages on... how does this effect me? Well, not at all as it turns out. I've never killed anyone nor plan to. None in my family has ever been involved in a murder (well there may have been one or two back in the day but thats a different story). Why waste my time trying to convince someone that they should see it as i do, state sanction murder that is fouled with inconsistent laws when it would be cheaper and more effective to hold these murderers in prison for the rest of there lives? So I give it to God and let Him judge.

The recent fraud of many Party members I've supported... Nothing makes me more angry than defending someone that only turns out to be just the same shista lawyers that chase ambulances and take $.75 to the dollar of any person they represent. Both the parties are bought and sold here in the US, the representation the American people within their government are not the elected officials that speak for the people, they only speak for oil companies, abortionists, ACLU trial lawyers, and Christian extremists that preach something totally different from what God's Word says. They'll be judged as well. So I give it to God and let Him judge.

I could go on with several more examples of the many exchanges that go on and on and on in our beloved Tavern. I am not saying that there should not be a debate, I just feel whats the point in debating when neither side budges and all it does is inflame tensions between most people that would probably be great friends outside of this world we have created to be heard? The more I think about all these things that I've over the years have railed against or die-heartedly supported till the fingers bleed when all the while my words and actions only hurt the ideals and arguments that i was detailing to those with apposing views. Yes, the hypocrisy and irony of this post is beyond the realm of ridiculous from the prospective of those that have known me over the years, but just take a moment to think about it. Is it really that rewarding to you that you've argued something to a point that you've made someone look like a fool, 9 times out of 10 the fool is yourself, or that you've caused the debate to become undebatable? After much thought and reason and council from my Pastor, I will strive to debate things that truelly affect my life and things that are debatable. Good topics that could have a conscencous and not come to loggerheads with people that I've grown to respect and care about over the years. I have no idea really what has made me post this rant/self absorbed reflection, but i just thought I'd share and i have a felling that many out there might actually agree with me. but I won't worry about that because I have given it to God and let Him judge.
