My title today seems to many like an oxymoron. Politics seem to be negative right now. And some of them are. This a challenge to rethink politics. Right now the greatest threat to Americans may be those educational, financial, and political forces trying to take away our God-given liberties.
Perhaps we need less political bias, tribalism and more concern about our freedoms. Of course, if you are among those who look down on the working men and women of this country, considering them unable to govern themselves without a ruling class telling them how to think or how to vote; disregard this article. You are on the wrong side of morality and on the wrong side of history.
I am an Independent. I try to vote for those who protect our constitutional rights; those who care about our liberties. I believe we should pay less attention to labels than policy. Over the years I have seen a lot of shifts politically. Right now the Republican party seems to be the major party that is more often than not coming down on the side of freedom. Not all Republicans do . That is why we must not just look at a label but see what those people have done. If the Republicans running for office turn their backs on our liberties they will not get my vote.
I am not about negative politics. I am about positive politics. I put aside political loyalty…except loyalty to the constitution and the politics of liberty. There is little more positive political than liberty.
