Miscellaneous Missionary

From politics to religion to mowing the lawn, it seems that there is a partisan position to hold. It even seems that positions are held out of obligation to oppose the other side in the overall picture.
I, on the other hand, am a mixed bag. I am one of those hated premillenial dispensationalists. I almost always vote Republican. Rush Limbaugh is my favorite journalist.
I have disagreed with my own community of conservatives on several points. First, on the war in Iraq, I am willing to accept that the desire for oil had an influence on the decision. Second, I am for immigration, and for making it easier for more immigration. Third, on homeland security, I believe that it needs to be dissolved. Fourth, I beleive that Christian hotpoints are better left out of regulation altogether, such as abortion and homosexuality. Fifth, I believe that all people should look into their pocket books and give money to the poor around the world. Sixth, I believe that prisoners in Guantanimo Bay should face charges or be released.
One would think that the liberals would have the upper hand on all of these, but they are wrong. The liberals, in my opinion, take the response too far. On the war in Iraq, they refuse to see the positive results. They refuse to answer for the legitimate arguments for going to war, such as the 14 resolutions for regime change at the UN. They refuse to acknowledge the schools, roads, and other infrastructure successes. They refuse to acknowledge the Iraqi people's own opposition to the "insurgency." On the issue of immigration, they flip and flop. On homeland security, they believe that prominent conservative leaders should be prosecuted for war crimes. On Christian hotpoints, they beleive that the governtment should fund the abortions and endorse homosexuality. On poverty, the liberals try to solve it by taxing and promoting class envy. On Guantanimo Bay, the liberals try to shut the whole prison down and prosecute the Secretary of Defense.
On all of these issues, it seems that I can agree with neither left nor right. I have concluded that the solution lies in my mindset. I do not believe that government is the answer in any of these solutions. We cannot change the moral compass of a man by changing a law. Both the conservatives and the liberals are looking to Washington, DC to solve problems that are more easily solved in the back yard. It is for this reason that I often sound liberal on conservative issues. The liberals do not atttract my attention or gain my support because they generally endorse an anti Christian and socialist agenda that makes me even more troubled. I am stuck voting for the lesser of two evils.
