we're the minority now guys.
Then where's my check?
Wow...now that just about somes up my position in life
The suckling populus
All the recent political threads, the campaigns, and all the media has stirred some deep thought in me.
I cannot be the only one disgusted with the candidates left in the presidential pool. I cannot be the only one who's primary election vote has no impact whatsoever on the outcome (PA hasn't even voted yet). I cannot be the only one who feels our country has abandoned conservatism, patriotism, and well... common sense.
I have gone back and forth about voting in the general election. I really can't stand McCain and I don't want to be left with "the lesser of" voting tactics. I have been thinking and here's what I have concluded:
Both the democrats and republicans through the past 15 years have been running our country into the ground. We have never been more divided, we have never been so reliant upon foreign nations, we have never been so venerable with all our troops and financial obligation throughout the world. Having either party in power will result in the same consequences, although one may take a little longer than the other. That consequense, or fate if you will, is the destruction of our freedom, of our sovereignty, and our security. The destruction of our society and it's morals and values. The fate my friends is a dismal one and I am beginning to see that true conservative values are now viewed as revolutionary and they scare people because of their own ignorance and indoctrination. Our nanny government has the masses on her nipple and they are not coming off as it is scary away from mommy.
The guns will go as will many rights. Taxes will soar for the successful, entitlement will abound for the needy and the lazy. The fence will never get built and the melting pot will overflow.
The only chance I see is either a revolution in the Republican party or a serious third party surfacing and standing firm on conservatism as the country and economy fail miserably. I fear that very hard times are ahead of us folks. I'm no profit, I'm no economic genius, and I am certainly no politician. What I do have going for me is I have learned the hard way in life to read the writing on the wall and to heed it's warnings when necessary. I'm not liking what it says.
So? What do I do? Vote for Juan McCain and cast a vote for a man who I do not believe will govern in a manner that would be good for our nation, or abstain and possibly have a worse president? Well I conclude that it really comes down to whether or not I want to slow down the destruction of our country. At this point, I have decided that I will no longer vote for anyone who does not represent my beliefs, BUT I will not abstain from my right to vote. I'll vote Constitution Party, or I'll write someone in.
What I won't do is "settle" for someone who is going to continue our country's destruction.
we're the minority now guys.
I can't believe Mingez doesn't have an opinion on this.
I have a few issues with the AWM rant posted. It might surprise you Mingez. I think the guy goes too far to try to not be PC... to the point of stereotype and prejudice. That, I disagree with, although I agree with much of the sentiment in the text it is overshadowed with trying to be... I dunno the word...
Worst President in History......
........Don't get me wrong, Bush has disappointed me......
........Not much worse, but we could have had Al Gore or John Kerry in there ::shudder::......
