One of the things that really irritates me about politics is how things are painted in a very left or right light. You are either Democrat or Republican, Conservative or Liberal, Right Wing or Left Wing. I happen to think that it takes both wings for the Eagle to soar.
I call myself an irregular. I know many would say you are an independent, but I don't happen to think so. If you must agree with xyz to be on one side and abc on the other and independents are well independent of everyone else. Then I must be irregular. I don't fit into any of these categories. I also do not like to be told I am in the middle of the road. To me this would indicate that I am unable to make up my mind. to the contrary I am very decisive about things. So if I am not like regular people I must be irregular.
Of course I get some pretty strange looks when the conversation turns to politics and everyone is proclaiming their affiliations. "I am a democrat", "I am a Republican", "I have gone Green" and I reply " I'm irregular".
What about you are you regular?
Some further fodder for the furnace: Who should an irregular person vote for?
From my prospective, it seems my choices are a former US military officer and pilot or a former lawyer(Hillary and Barack were both lawyers). Hmmmm
