Party Political

You may have noticed that I pulled my last post. Lately I have turned to digg.com as a way to get mostly tech based news with a few interesting side articles from time to time. Articles are submitted by regular people though, so it is fallible. The article that inspired my now deleted post slipped in there mainly because it made bold accusations that were intended to incense the reader. So much so that the poster ignored that digg is for TECH news, and posted a political piece anyway. It sure got me riled up. It also scored about 1500 diggs in the space of time it usually takes an article to score about 100, so at least I wasn't the only one. The link was later pulled because it came to light that the article contained items that were just not true. I'm a little embarassed that I spread that article around as much as I did. But hey, at least I didn't fall for the one about the Golden Retriever puppies in California.

A lot of my posts have been political lately. With the addition of that last post they have taken a decidedly leftward lean. I've always felt more closely connected with the liberal viewpoint. Not on everything mind you. I'm a big believer in gun control being a steady hand. And I really do believe we should build some kind of barrier between ourselves and Mexico. What does it really say about a nation if we can't even secure our own borders?

But 9 times out of 10, I don't agree with our President (I did side with him on the Dubai Ports thing). And I don't believe anyone's moral or religious beliefs should regulate what is taught in schools, or which medicines are researched. Religion should be taught in church, and morality should be taught at home. The rest of the chips can fall where they may.
