As a young adult, I was a Democrat. Through my adult, Christian years, I was a Republican. Then 911 happened. In my circles, I found myself being the only conscientious voice of objection to us invading Iraq on the premise that there may be ‘weapons of mass destruction’. Looking back that marked my turn toward libertarianism. However, it wasn’t until Common Core started reaching my conscious awareness in my early homeschooling days, that I began my exodus from the red and blue in earnest.

One that had been and still is being built by both the Democrats and Republicans.
My eyes were open, and I stepped out of participating in the ridiculous division of hate that exists between the two political parties at the common people level. I don’t participate in voting or the animosity toward one side from the other because its nonsensical. We’re divided. Those ruling us aren’t and they play off our division. I don’t have the space in this article to point out all the examples of how, but I see it and I’m all set with that.
