Many people in America seem to take the stance of being unaffiliated when it comes to political party. Oftentimes I'll ask a friend of mine or a family member about their political orientation, and they tend to say when they're on the left wing side of things, I'm not registered Democrat I'm an independent. Which, to me, seems kind of like a psychological symptom of doubt when it comes to the basis of their political or philosophical viewpoints. They say no no I'm not a Democrat, I'm an independent.
This seems to me to be a poor judgment call in my opinion. One thing I know is that your political opinion might not particularly matter, but the registration you have to a political party can really change the official context of your day-to-day life.
This might sound weird, but when it comes to how individual Americans live their lives day to day, I can really attest that the party that you register for changes your life in many respects.
That's why I say to people often times, your vote doesn't really matter. Nobody's ever won an election by one vote, and that's precisely what we have in political governance. That is our own individual voice. However it is only one political voice out of however many people live in America.
When you register Republican, it can change your life. It can change the world! A single person's political affiliation can change other people's ability to voice their own political viewpoints on the basis of political affiliation.
Perhaps I'm not explaining this clearly enough.
If you live the lifestyle of a Republican, but aren't registered specifically as inherently a Grand Old Party member, you're really missing out a lot of the benefits that party registration can get you.
Further when I talk to people who are liberal Democrat oriented, but are not registered at all or registered independent as such, you really are missing out on the benefits that your political affiliation and party has in your day-to-day life.
I don't know why many Democrats seem to lean for unaffiliated, though my guess is they know on some level that it's shameful.
I hope I'm wrong... I have a lot of Democrat friends.
But I know for one thing as much as I do this blog for the GOP, the only people I know of for a fact that I've changed in lieu of the Republican Party are a couple of my past girlfriends.
One of my ex-girlfriends changed party affiliation simply because I asked her to.
Another ex-girlfriend registered Republican when it came time for the elections.
So I guess it goes to say the only way you can change the world is simply by being a leader in the philosophical prescience regarding the state of affairs in the world, not to mention the lifestyle you live.
So what I'm going to say as the republican author of Politalk, is don't vote Republican. It really is only one vote. But if you're a conservative out there not officially registered Republican?
I'd highly recommend reaping the benefits of official party affiliation and registration.
It can really put your life in context, so to speak. In the way they're governed, and the manner in which one governs their own affairs.
But I know that in the general zeitgeist, the liberal left seems to have some assumptions about the conservative character. Many of these aren't very accurate observations on the part of Democrats. It goes down to a sociological term called "racial threat".
I repeat this sociological viewpoint as often as I can on the blog and just in general conversation..
"Racial threat" might sound a little offensive.
But really what "racial threat" means is what was once referred to colloquially as reverse racism.
So I guess you would call it being racist against racists...
So "racial threat" is a viewpoint individually in regards to how we view Republicans, or even what we think constitutes what a Republican is.
So basically "racial threat" is like if you see somebody driving a pickup truck with really short hair as being a racist Republican, even when that assumption of racism isn't actually accurate.
So it's basically like if you see somebody and you assume they're racist, that's a sociological phenomenon known as "racial threat".
So technically being hateful against racism is the same type of prejudice as racism itself. One might have a bias when it comes to the subject of prejudice and anger as such. Even if you're a liberal.
So we have to remember that racism isn't just an emotion. Racism is a form of prejudice that I believe personally stems from a type of ignorance. From a lack of ability to feel empathy for people who are different than you. To feel prejudice...
So remember when you're out there and you assume that Republicans are racist? You have to remember that viewpoints of other people being racist may in fact be the same basic ignorance and sociological blinders as prejudice itself that real racists theirselves have.
So one of the things that a person registered Democrat might experience, is the liberal mindset that anger and racism are immoral.
I for one think that anger shouldn't be shunned in our emotional repertoire. Most people are prejudiced in some way. So remember that even though you may really hate fascist racist type stuff, you would be prejudiced to see white male Republicans as intrinsically racist.
For a lot of white people coming up in the south, racism is something that they have to deal with on a first come first served basis. And let's say somebody really was racist, and like legitimately hated a certain race perhaps because of grievances or something else, you know?
Well because of the congruence of the phenomenology in this world, and how we relate to our Lord and Savior morally? Somebody who may have been racist at one point, perhaps when they go through a transformation in their adult life and realize that all men are created equal, come out of the experience religiously or otherwise as somebody who believes that racism and prejudice are immoral.
If that person hadn't made that moral decision, they would look the exact same physically. So I ask the anti-fascist oriented Democrat left, what's the difference? What does a racist look like? What do racists do? Why do racists hate?
Well my answer to this and the left wing prejudice which does exist trust me it does, that the difference between a racist and a non-racist can't be qualified in terms of how one appears.
Appearance oftentimes is not a real sign of a given morality as such. For example I've been fighting hardcore against communism for a long time.
Yet knowing that, and having a real legitimate hatred against communism, I still look the same.
So the idea that somebody could look like a communist is also an issue.
So I dress punk.
Technically I probably appear to be racist or anti-fascist or any number of things affiliated with the genre of punk music. And if you see me I may not exactly look like you're run of the mill Republican.
So what's the difference?
The difference is in party affiliation.
So I ask all of you out there to get registered to the party of your choice, especially the Grand Old Party. Your official registration as Democrat or Republican really frames the life that you live in terms of governance.
Oh and if you're libertarian leaning?
Make sure you're registered libertarian as it has a lot of benefits.
So with that I bid you adeu!
