I have not mentioned who I am backing in the current Presidential election.  I don’t think I have ever even shared my party affiliation.

Do I?

I know my views.  Am I willing to be put up for potential slamming?  Because lets face it – there will be slamming – there always is, you know?

Do I put that button over in my sidebar?

Do I argue about political headlines?

These are not rhetorical questions…  I would like to know your views.  I’ve tended to stay away from major theological discussions and politics, because it’s my feeling that I have my views, you have your views.  I’m not changing your mind, you’re not changing mine.  Why argue?

But with politics saturating every bit of our media (and in this case, good reason, a new potential leader of the country we reside in) staying silent seems…  weak.  I’m looking for a different word, but it escapes me.  Cowardly maybe?

But then – is opening myself up for the potential hatred (as opposed to reasoned debate of opposing opinions) is something I’m not sure I want in my life right now.  Politics – just like religion – is a major big time hot button on people’s emotions.

So – do you wear your political heart on your sleeve?
