This entire Health Care “debate” thing has left me laughing as much as it has left me shaking my head.I watch the news, video of morons shouting down legislators, and chicks telling Barney Frank that Obama wants to bring Nazism to America, and I say to myself…
When did Americans get so fucking stupid? This entire “debate” also made me think of something else…
Politically, where do I lie…?
Am I a Liberal, a Conservative, or a Moderate?
And…What do those terms mean? Because seriously, how can I know what I am, if I am not exactly sure what those labels mean?
I guess being a Democrat, that pulls me towards the Liberal bent as far as being in favor of such things as gay marriage, a woman’s right to choose an abortion, and health care for all.
On the other hand...

I wonder why gay people want to be recognized as being married when that term is a religious term, government shouldn’t pay for your mistake, and why can’t a person just live well?
I have a typical Conservative Republican streak as well….
I am all for spending anything and everything on the military (I’m a military historian for God’s sake). I don’t want a government health plan that tells me what services I can get and not get.

And, while not an NRA member, I am all for the Second Amendment.
However…
While I am all for spending dollars on the military; I am not into taking on stupid, non-sensical expeditions into militarily flaccid Persian countries. I like a strong military for defense…for defense of THIS country.
As for the government health plan…Why not put the funding mechanism within the hands of the government rather than in the greedy hands of a for-profit private company?
You can talk all about what government health care will “let you have”, HMO’s already dictate that, so what’s the difference? Why not save yourself some money?
As for those of you Second Amendment whackos…Hell yeah, if you want a gun, that’s great…Have at it. However…
I think that there should be control on automatic weapons…After all, when the Second Amendment was written, firearm technology was based on the flintlock.
It’s kinda hard to rob a store when you miss the attendant and have to re-load. With a flintlock pistol, it takes you thirty seconds to re-load your gun, as said attendant is bashing in your head with a baseball bat.
Which leads me to something else…
I hear many, simple-minded people say, “The Constitution is what it is. It is NOT a living breathing document; quit trying to change it.”
Can anyone prove folks wrong on this? I have questions on this, dammit. Anyhoo…
Do you guys think of yourselves as one or the other as far as your political trend, or are you labeled as something you don’t think is quite accurate?
Just wanna know…

As for me?
I dont' know if I am a Liberal, a Conservative, or a Moderate, but I do know one thing...
I'm Matt-Man, Bitch!! And I can dig that.
As for the pictures? I had nothing that went along with this post, so I thought I’d post some old pictures of me half naked.
Cheers!!
