I agree with them, Jaged. Keep in the center, and have an open mind.

I found ******* on the Kerry forums once...

Jaged I am very involved in politics on a local level where I live. I am a Democrat, but I also find that I am a very conservative Democrat. You will never find alliances with the very liberal Democratic or the very conservative Republican websites because they are soooo one sided in their opinions.

Attaching yourself to one party or another is not the most important thing. The most important thing in deciding your political views is to look at each issue and each politician from both perspectives and ot make an informed decision - not one baed upon party affiliation.

You do not need a minimum history grade as Tek suggested because political parties are not the same as they were even thirty years ago. In attempting to discover your own political theories I would say that there are a few main current issues to think about - abortion; gay rights; death penalty. Some great reading about our historical political originations are Hobbes Leviathon, Locke's Two Treatise on Government (A phenomenal book) and The Federalist Papers.

If you fail to accomplish this then I believe that politics does not need your input.

Don't take this as an insult, it's just a personal belief i hold. Right now we have almost half of our political spectrum pushing towards socialism, an idea that has failed EVERY time it was used before.

I just think having a firm grip on history would seriously help.

Do i count? I get As and Im in 10th grade and finished my senior year history with a nice lil A.Its only class I can pass.In fact just got my report card today and Im even "retained to the 10th grade" so i think i failed but o well.Least I passed all my history classes with A.Cept god damn Early American History,god a stupid B but o well.

erm pardon... but that makes no sense... your in 10th grade (AKA Sophmore) have Senior (AKA 12th grade) History, failed 10th grade (WTFHAX), and you were allowed to keep the advanced history... your school system sucks worse then philly's...

Your post confused me.So let me just say.......sure okay.
as for my school,lol it sucks more then you know,after having 4 levies in the last year fail and another one in August prolly gonna fail my schools fucked,there gonna have to get rid of some of the best teachers(the young ones who are actually cool) so were gonna be left with these 60 y/o fruitcakes who give us notes all period long on stuff you can easily find in your book. GAH school sucks

Infernus · 2004-06-23, 01:32 PM

You said you were in 10th grade, but have Senior (AKA 12th grade) level History, and you failed the 10th grade numerically... At my school they would've nazied your advanced history so fast...
