My politics are in crisis. People think i'm ignorant & racist just by calling myself a republican. After the leadership of the past 8 years, after a lily white male republican convention, after Sarah Palin, this is understandable.

The reason i call myself a republican instead of a democrat is because in social studies in high school, they taught us about the foundations of the left & right, specifically in how the constitution is interpreted. Republicans are supposed to be "anti-federalists" while dems have always been "federalists". I have always agreed with the republican way, that government power should be limited so that the peoples freedom is maximized.

But obviously todays politics are much more complicated. The last 8 years we have seen the ascendancy of social conservatives, who are "federalists" in that they want the government intruding on the peoples private lives (gay sex & marriage, abortion, shiavo, 2257) while the democrats are the "anti-federalists" who want states & the people deciding for themselves how to run their lives.

& recently i have found all the right wing thinking i find on the web to be trivial, stupid, & miopic. I cannot listen to Limbaugh & hannity. They are insane. When Rush says Powell supported obama because of race (based on nothing at all except race), its embarassing. I can understand how everyone under 40 thinks republicans are morons.

But i grew up hating democrats since Reagan, & i feel the dems are only in power because 1) the republicans fucked things up that badly 2) Obama is a unique generational politician whose political skills are Tiger Woods/Michael Jordan like. I don't think the country would have liked a Hillary presidency & the repubs would be back in 2-4 years if not for Obama.

But in no way can i call myself a democrat. They are obsessed with identity politics. They are no more friends to porn than republicans. Any of you who think dems are any different than repubs on porn can go back to the COPA law passed in 1998 & count the votes. They also have no BALLS. They voted for the Iraq war before they opposed it.

So whose gonna create a center-right party that believes in balanced budgets & gay marriage? This is the idealogy that will eventually replace the republican party.
