The dream that is a third party.

As I have become more mature in my thinking and reasoning, I have become more tolerant of certain behaviors and customs. I look at the things that I have done and experienced in my short forty three years and have calmed down in my fervor for what I thought was right and just. I still have beliefs that are clearly black and white and do feel I will never compromise or change. I am pro-life, but not like you would assume pro-lifers. I do not back gay marriage, but for a completely different reason than religious, it's more Nietzschen than that. Though I can be seen clearly politically as a conservative I know it's time for another political path. Many would think I should just join the Libertarian party but remember as a Realist I believe in preemptive war. The Libertarian party would have me sign that away and I will not.

Decades and decades millions have thought about and formulated the idea of a third party, yet since Perot no one has come close. The Tea party has made some political dents, yet they act only as endorsers not a platform building group. There is the Green Party, the Socialist, I could go on and on. Where is the party for those who just want the government to act as tool and not a machine. I want boring, stay out of my way and others lives kind of government. I will send you a little money every paycheck to fix my roads and run the military, other than that go home. Rick Perry had a great idea. Did I just say that?! Yes, Rick Perry had a great idea, politicians should be part time and serve occasionally through term limits. Maybe that should be the name of the new party, the "Part Time Party".

I think and hope that in my lifetime it will happen. That a new party emerges that wants government to small and stay away from social issues. Leave those to the states to handle. A party that ask those we appoint to work in our communities and not D.C.. One can only dream.
