Modern Whigs

If you are a moderate maybe the Modern Whigs are for you. I have had a friend push me towards the Modern Whigs. I have been railing against both the Republican party (well, the vocal base of the Republican party) and the Democratic party. I have felt like a woman without a party for a while because of many reasons.

I'm not pro-choice. But I find that definitions on either side are difficult for me to settle with. I wish my gay and lesbian friends could get married, but like my friends who are married, a simple kiss is all I ever want to see. I'm 'conservative' in that. I truly believe that kindness is needed in commercialism. I truly believe that a (mostly) free market is necessary for my country to flourish. I believe that the Federal Reserve is a pain in the neck and I don't know enough about it.

And I believe a whole lot of our taxes are ludicrous.

And I still wonder if we really need all of the federal programs that we have. Many programs need to be audited and revised to make less monstrous.

But enough about that... Take a look at the Whigs.
