Life as seen through the specs of an immigrant, whose heart shall always be divided between continents, cultures, foods, traditions and experiences.

Who am I?
I'm becoming increasingly worried these days that I might have a personality disorder. no, not in the psychological sense, but politically. I find myself not fitting into any of the prepackaged ideologies, I am neither blue, nor red. I am a colour all of my own making, a political animal made from my own perception, the result of much thinking and thorough analysis. On days like today, when I get kicked by my dear friends on the right and shunned by those on the left, I find myself increasingly lonely, my theories insular...While my views are moderate, I believe in social justice, equality, government support, but on morals I tend more toward the conservative. Nonetheless, I feel I do not fit within the ever increasing passionate rhetoric that is now taking shape in a very heated election season. Nor am I registered as either a Democrat or Republican. And I prefer Mitt Romney. So, who am I? Where do my views fit in American politics? And how much of an impact do my European mentalities project on my political views, as I try to apply them here, in my new home country?
