Once Again

Back in 2007, I got into politics and was really into it because I knew that I was going to be able to vote in November of 2008.  Before that I didn't really care that much for politics, because I had very little say.  In the election cycle of 2012, I kind of ended my politicking and focused on other things.  Of course back then I wanted out of politics completely for various reasons.  I was basically cornered about my beliefs both in politics and religion.  I'm a follower of Christ and because my church was standing for an amendment that would make homosexual marriages illegal in the state of Minnesota.  Now, I did vote for the amendment not because of the homosexual marriage issue, but because the issue of who do I follow?  Do I follow Christ or a philosophy?  I didn't want to vote for the amendment but had to because my pastor told me to.  I still disagree with my pastor on his decision of making the case that I should vote for the amendment but still love him as my pastor.  

After that whole episode about me not participating in politics, I've decided to get back in.  Here are a couple of reasons why I ending up choosing to go back into politics.  Politics affects everyone's life here on earth.  It is a very important issue to discuss.  Even though it doesn't have the effects of religion in regards to what happens to you after you die but it is second in importance of topics that is discussed.  So, I'm taking back of what I said about politics in general.  I still think politics is stupid (in this time on earth in the USA).  But it is still important issue to discuss.  This whole thing about me getting back into politics is a big deal for me because I still hold the values of ownership of property in high regards, I don't want to get taxed at all nor I don't want to see my fellow citizens getting the taxed either,  I would like to see great deal of government power being reduced in all sectors both the economy and personal life.

This is why I'm coming back into the political scene, because politics is important but not as important as a person's standing in regards to Jesus Christ.  None the less politics is important topic to talk about.
