A Long Time Coming

This blog has been a long time in the making for me. From a very young age I became interested in politics. Over the years I have varied in my personal political beliefs, ranging from conservative to liberal, even semi-socialist at times. The more that I have thought about my own political beliefs in the past few years, and especially with the upcoming Presidential election, I've realized that my views on government are libertarian in nature. I don't want to give a huge lecture on libertarian beliefs here, though that will partly be the purpose of this blog, but it basically involves returning to the Constitution as our governing document. The Constitution was written as a safegaurd against a large Federal government and too much government intervention. The United States governement has stuck its hands in places where it has no right to stick them.
So, this election season, I have decided to play a proactive part in helping people realize the need to return to the Constitution, and the form of government set up by the Founding Fathers of our nation, who I believe were inspired men who knew well what could happen to our country. I hope you will all join me in this venture as we discuss politics in general, some libertarian views (including the Libertarian candidate for President, Bob Barr), and the Constitution and Founding Father.
