Hello all. A little about me.

I have been a registered democrat for 40 years. I have not really spoken my mind or protested anything. I do have tons of friends just like me that feel the same as i and we feel our party is lost. 40 yrs. Ago progressives pretty well took over the democrat party. Before that our party had a BAD history. Jim Crowe, the civil war ( Jefferson Davis,Robert lee,Montgomery AL, etc. MLK and Lincoln were republicans but that party became the OLD democrat party. That's what made me decide on what party i will affiliate with. These last few years the BS in the media has only created division on every single topic so has the lifetime politicians. Its time for change for sure but the change we voted for hasn't happened. Big government is not the answer. Big corporate is not the answer. We need NEW leaders in our party. Any idiot that just goes with These lifetime politicians to create division in race,age,sexual affiliation they are the problem. I also get sick of seeing us argue race when honestly we are smarter than using that as a last resort when we are to stupid to debate an issue. I am a black 62 year old male by the way. I've seen more in my time than most of you will I marched when i was younger and seen what REAL racism is. Now this generation calls people racist just because they don't agree with them. Give me a break jeez. Anyway a little about Me i can't stand hypocrits and WILL point it out. I love all races and have a white wife of 34 years. 6 children and have my own business that is about to go under after 26 years. I still do the same business and make the same money but now i am paying more than ever in taxes,fees,ins. Which is Now forced. I've seen every administration come and go but unlike close minded folks nothing has changed. With each administration all I've witnessed is they take and take. I've come to the conclusion honestly they are all the same.
