Statism, Feminism, Homosexuality, and the Christian Right

I am neither “Left” or “Right”.  I stand against statism and for liberty.  The problem we see though is the left and the right both seem to feel we must support their causes at federal levels with legislation.  Now what we have here is a constant tug of war with issues such as homosexuality, the misunderstood concepts of feminism being opposed by the Patriarchal Christian right and they claw each others eyes out.  I support many Feminist ideals.  Feminism is the radical notion that women are people too.  Feminism acknowledges more than just a woman’s right, it encompass many philosophical concepts that pertain to all races and genders.  The “Right” perception of Feminism is often a misunderstanding, leaving much of the right talking ignorantly about the subject.  Now this being said, I want to disagree and agree with both the Christian Right and the left at the same time. 

I am not arguing pro or anti any of these philosophies, what I am arguing to everyone is the federal government’s place in the moral issues we wish to legislate.  I may agree with certain concepts, but I want to handle the problems that arise.  I do not want government to do so for us.  The government has proven capable of getting rich and feeding bureaucrats in the name of “progress” while accomplishing nothing.  Federal government is not the answer.  If we want to truly change the world it will not happen as a Dictator tyrannically tells us how to believe, it will start by us slowly teaching the masses and building a new philosophy from the ground up.

Some become angered if I suggest that something is not the place of government on the left and the right.  This is not to oppose the ideal, but to question how we accomplish the desired result.  Government repeatedly grows rich as the subjects it claims to help grow hungry and the end result is failure to all but the bureaucrats who preached compassion and got their six figure salaries.  Just look at the Bureau of Indian Affairs.  Government takes your land, kills your people, and tells you that  you need it to make decisions about your life.  Why is this still around?  The Department of the Interior is one of the biggest scams ever pulled on the Citizens of the United States.

Government should protect us.  It’s job is not to control our thoughts or morals, it simply protects us.  Most of the protection needs to happen at a local level and not a federal level.  This leaves the federal government completely irrelevant to most issues.

Let’s talk marriage.  Why does government license marriage?  Why should it control marriage?  Was marriage not a function of the church?  Can government really tell us who to marry or how this marriage should look?  In a free country can federal government really regulate this?  When government does so it ends the separation of church and state concept by the state claiming the powers of the church.  Get the government completely out of marriage.  If two men wish to marry and can not find a church to acknowledge their marriage they should start their own institution to grant their marriages.  By our regulating marriage by government we see how government has stepped in and used it as a tool to extract more tax money and have more control of our lives through this control.  It is time we started cutting federal control out of every possible aspect of our lives and finding ways to deal with issues free of the Federal Imposition.

We should be fighting against this bloated Federal Imposition that has grown upon our liberty like a cancer, not fighting against each other.  We can worry about other issues at local levels or just accept that maybe we should re-evaluate our desire to control every other person on the planet.  I support protecting the oppressed, or those facing violations against their person, but most of the time when we legislate all we end up doing is slapping another wrist after the victim has been victimized.  It is the federal governments job to protect, and it seems to be failing at that, so let’s take the other stuff off their plate, take our money back they were going to use to accomplish certain failures, and take care of that while the government figures out why it can’t do the basic functions it was set in place for.
