Please, please understand that.

Secondly, the solution unto the problem that you, as well as your friends, and those upon the other side of the same coin from your own, the supposed Republicans, is simply this.

Libertarianism.

Said Libertarian thought processes supersedes both the Democratic and Republican ideologies.

Libertarian thought processes takes away from the power grubbing Democratic and Republican ideologies within that a Libertarian takes away the power base of the two major parties.

Unto both major parties, stay the hell out of not only our lives privately, but to shrink your base unto the very basic tenets within the Constitution of the United States of America.

It means thus.

Protect our borders.
