I've always wanted to be politically intelligent. When I hear those around me discussing political manners I have to sit back and be quiet. I rarely have anything to contribute solely because of ignorance. I want to contribute in these conversations and feel the same passion my peers do when they discuss what is going on in my country and what is or is not being done for progression.
However, I do feel that dividing ones beliefs based on whether you are democrat, republican, or a member of the rent is to damn high party,(http://www.rentistoodamnhigh.org/) you lose potential for new solutions by getting wrapped up in what a political party stands for. For those reasons, whether its right or not, I have failed to fully educate myself in politics. Sometimes I like being ignorant. But then again, I've got to grow up at some point and follow and understand the news so I can know what's affecting me right now.
My husband is a republican. My parents are democrats. My beliefs have been shaped by him and them. But I want this blog site to help me become more informed on the matters around me. I'm going to use it to foster my own opinions and hopefully inspire any of my potential readers to do the same.
