This page is for those who identify themselves as politically independent. We are not controlled by: the two-party system (Democrats and Republicans), their politically aligned pundits/media, their 'political action committees', or their ideologies. We decide how to vote based on the issues and the candidates, not partisan affiliation and general labeling. Ad hominem and post hoc attacks are an in
sult to our intelligence as informed voters. We do not look fondly upon political propaganda or misleading statements. This page will provide a comprehensive understanding of the issues, claims, facts, and candidates. When political action committees (PAC's) start advertising, we will share with you who they are and what they do. The same will be said for Super-PAC's and 501(c)(4)'s. We look beyond the partisan hackery of labeling opponents "liberal" and "conservative". We understand that every Republican is a RINO (Republican In Name Only) and that every Democrat is a DINO (Democrat In Name Only), because the only thing that makes a person a Republican or Democrat is that they register as a Republican or Democrat. We're tired of the games and the players, we're ready for leaders to solve problems. Chesterton says it best, "Since the modern world began in the sixteenth century, nobody's system of philosophy has really corresponded to everybody's sense of reality; to what, if left to themselves, common men would call common sense. Each started with a paradox; a peculiar point of view demanding the sacrifice of what they would call a sane point of view. That is the one thing common to Hobbes and Hegel, to Kant and Bergson, to Berkeley and William James. A man had to believe something that no normal man would believe, if it were suddenly propounded to his simplicity; as that law is above right, or right is outside reason, or things are only as we think them, or everything is relative to a reality that is not there. The modern philosopher claims, like a sort of confidence man, that if we will grant him this, the rest will be easy; he will straighten out the world, if he is allowed to give this one twist to the mind..."
