I have been told by many that if I don't back the GOP nominee in the General Election, and I write-in the candidate that I truly support if he/she does not get the nomination, then I am actually casting a vote for the Democrat, Obama. That I am "wasting" my vote. That I am going to "lose my liberties" if I do that because Obama will win the election.
I understand the concept, but really, my single little vote is going to lose the election for the Obama-lite candidate that the GOP is pushing? I will lose my liberties? What liberties?
The right to keep the fruits of my labor? - That's already gone. I am at the whim of the electorate and the Federal Legislature on that one.
The right to own property? - Try not paying the taxes on your property, see how much it is really yours.
The right to keep and bear arms? -Try walking down the street with a gun on your hip without "approval" from the State, or letting them find you in possession of one they don't know about.
The right to life? - I now, apparently, can be put on an executive controlled list and assassinated without due process, if I fall under whatever definition of a terrorist the executive branch decides is legitimate.
Freedom of religion? - No one can ever stop me from believing in God, but there is no "separation of Church and State" in the Constitution, but the government sure has been telling us that's what "CONGRESS shall make no LAW in in the establishment of a religion" means, all in an effort to keep us from "the free exercise thereof" in our States and localities.
Shall I go on?
I think you get the point.
I will not vote for anyone who does not understand these things ANYMORE. Not at the Federal, State, or Local levels. I have long since been robbed of my liberties, they were gone before I was born, that's why it took me so long to figure this out.
Both parties are complicit in the erosion of our liberties. So I don't believe for a second, that any one of the party-approved, establishment, big-government, socialist leaning Republican candidates (that's right, I said socialist leaning) will make anything better in the long run for me or my kids.
I cannot teach my children that they should remain principled and stay true to God and this Union by being hypocritical and sacrificing my own principles and beliefs by supporting another candidate that I know will not change the status-quo..........NO MORE.
We will never solve the problems in this Union by voting for the lesser of two evils. It has to change somewhere, and for me it is here and now.
I can't make anyone else agree with me. All I can do is change myself.
I have the chance to vote my mind in EVERY election, including the General Election.
I just have to decide to do it.
And maybe..... just maybe..... if we all looked at is this way we could actually effect some real change for a change.
