The Subjective Scribe: "Disclaimer: I am not a Democrat. I am a recovering Republican who is now a registered Independent." Well, it would nice if it worked that way. But once you find yourself on "the other side", even though your original goal was impartiality, you will be lumped in with the enemies of "the conservative cause". But I suspect scribe already knows this. I began to recognize that the Republican party had become one giant, powerful political machine that demanded unquestioning loyalty and adherence to the party line. It was more interested in vanquishing its foes (both foreign and domestic, strategic and political) than in the long-term interests of the nation. Pride and self-interest seemed to eclipse sound reason and objective awareness. Nationalism usurped brotherhood with our fellow man in this world. yup. Party before principle, party before nation, party before the lives of fellow Americans. How quickly people find themselves on the other side of the republican machine for simply exercising their conscience. I don't consider myself a democratic loyalist in the least bit. I would rather see more options. But I have to admit freely that voting for a Republican at this time does not seem like an option in the light of how that party has behaved. |
