Politico

I suppose, one might say, that my last addition to the blog might have come off as unfairly biased to some perspectives. And as we all know a biased perspective might mean that I stand for something. Well I do. I know everyone really would rather deal nice fluffy blog that doesn't bite anything that anyone cares about. The Brego, however, will not stand idly by.
The Brego is an ideological libertarian. He will never vote a president just because of party affiliation. But mostly because the people of the good libertarian party have very little agreement on what needs to supported for the primary candidate, and whoever those people are running get approximately zero time on the networks. It is very clear a libertarian will not be made president any time soon. Mainly this is because all candidates so far are: 1. Outrightly crazy 2. Perfectly following the libertarian ideal but get lumped in with the other too categories as libertarian ideals are considered crazy by most people because they don't know how government is supposed to work 3. Slavering over the idea of legalized marijuana, prostitution, and pornography on network television.
It seems libertarians in general are trying to decriminalize moral crimes. The Brego agrees: lets ease the congestion of our prisons of people who have flawed characters and start throwing in the people that have broken a real law.
People have a right to choose what they do. If they make some bad choices along the way they suffer bad enough consequences for what they've done. Stealing and killing, ie. real crime, ought to be punished and discouraged. As for morality, let the families decide whats what, not the government(it might surprise you that families will do what they think is right with or without the government intervening).
Note that the Brego just used the words "steal and kill" in the last paragraph. Straight out of the ten commandments. For those of you separatists who are taking "separation of church and state" completely out of context; there are many good reasons to uphold the ten commandments that have nothing to do with God or the church. To begin with, there isn't anything really morally wrong with the Decalogue. It discourages bad behavior and enforces good. Which isn't to say that it will make a difference. The ideas behind them are solid building blocks of every good society. It is a historical document that does not deserve to be censored. It is an intrinsic element of humanity's travel to now. To put it in its corner without a fair trial is a sad thing just from a historical point of view. You wouldn't dare chop the penis off the statue of David would you? Its known the world over, so of course you wouldn't, you'd be hung by your own entrails by the end of the day. So it is with the document of the Decalogue. It is literature of great historical value, thousands of years old, and if you don't believe it should have anything to do with our country then, by relation you want to deface all history and art like a good communist and believe only what you want. How intolerant of the tolerance preachers, shame on you.

The Brego is a libertarian that believes in families choosing to raise their kids how they like, and that the government has no right to censor, well anything. And if that offends anyone, well, grow up. Minorities are a reality, but not one we should cater to, because when we do we make life harder for the majority. And to be quite honest, whats the point of life without obstacles?
Oh lets see: you live, and then you die. Nothing to overcome. Life becomes a void.

I will rise to every challenge and face it even if it means the death of me. Minorities don't need any more attention in government. This is the soul of the libertarian party. If only we had a candidate that reflected that AND got media attention.

Ron Paul is starting to get some traction.

Maybe not this election, but moving forward, I doubt either of the two main political parties are going to start impressing any more people.
