NOTE FROM BLOGGER TONEY ATKINS: The above article link is from http://thinkprogress.org/ , a site that I believe to be one of the most honest investigative sources on the World Wide Web.

SOME PEOPLE WHO VISIT MY WEB SITE (www.toneyatkins.com/ ) AND THIS BLOG HAVE SUGGESTED THAT I AM TOO "DEMOCRAT" AND THEREFORE AM UNFAIR TO HATEFUL AND OBSTRUCTIVE CONSERVATIVES WHO ARE LEGENDS IN THEIR OWN MINDS, BUT USUALLY DO NOT HAVE AS THEIR MOTIVES THE BETTERMENT OF EVERY PERSON IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

I DO NOT CLAIM TO BE A DEMOCRAT, ALTHOUGH I AGREE WITH MANY OF THAT PARTY'S PRINCIPLES AND AM HAPPY THAT PRESIDENT OBAMA WAS RE-ELECTED.

I OBVIOUSLY AM NOT A REPUBLICAN, A CHOICE BASED LARGELY ON MY DISAPPROVAL OF LYING, HATEFUL REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES AND OFFICE HOLDERS AND THE DAMAGE THEY HAVE WROUGHT SINCE THE YEAR 1999. MY SENTIMENTS ARE ALSO BASED ON A SCARY IGNORANCE SWEEPING THE LAND, ESPECIALLY IN THE SOUTH, i.e., SEVEN, MAYBE EIGHT, OF 10 REPUBLICAN-THINKING ACQUAINTANCES OF MINE -- THOSE WHO DON'T REALLY KEEP UP WITH WHAT IS GOING ON IN GOVERMENT AND CHOOSE TO BELIEVE AND SPREAD FALSE HEARSAY THAT BENEFITS NO ONE. HATE SPREADS WHEN YOU BELIEVE AND REPEAT LIES.

I CONSIDER MYSELF TO BE A LIBERAL PROGRESSIVE INDEPENDENT, BUT WITH SOME SUPPORT OF SOME POSITIVE CONSERVATIVE IDEALS.

IN OTHER WORDS, POLITICALLY THINKING, I MIGHT BE CONSIDERED TO BE A MESS, BUT I LOVE IT, BECAUSE IT KEEPS MY AGING BRAIN WORKING, SEPARATING TRUTH FROM FALSEHOODS, STILL SEARCHING FOR THE BEST IN EVERYONE AND TRYING NOT TO BE DISAPPOINTED WHEN I DON'T FIND IT.
