Yep a vote for anybody but romney is a vote for osama. I cant stand romney but really there is not a chance in hell of getting somebody besides romney/osama voted in. Throw your vote away if you wish but dont cry when shit head gets another term.

I'm with you Jer but you're not going to change any opinions around here.

I understand the thinking behind voting for Romney to oust Obama if you think that Romney is truly going to be an improvement over Obama but I think they're functionally going to be one in the same. Less freedom, more spending, and no improvement.

The problem I have with this article and those that are similar, is they call for action, but don't specifically state what action they are calling for.

Now I like to lie to myself and think that I might be reasonably intelligent, but the way I read the author's "call for action," seems to imply that he believes the only solution to the nation's current problem is a revolution, violent or otherwise. Am I wrong in my reading of the article?

If I'm correct, then step up and make your point clearly.

If I'm not reading this correctly, then I will stop posting in this thread because I'm apparently a bit too dense for this type political discussion.

Be safe.

I experienced the Socialistic Carter and the Opertunistic Womanizer Clinton, and the one thing completely different about these guys and the POS in the White House today; they actually loved their country. I don't think people have a clue how bad it will get when Ococksucker has four more years with no threat of re-election.

I think this is exactly the point...a coalition of people to elect a president will not reflect the political philosophy of the people on this board. ...it just won't. This country is slowly marching left, and that train won't stop without some dynamite on the rails.

Anybody who thinks this country will be saved by electing the right president is worse than than the guy who thinks voting for the lesser of two evils is the way to go.

What I mean by this is that if you think change (the right kind of change, not "hope and change") is going to start from the top down, you are sorely mistaken. As I've said before, probably about as many times as Jer has tried to convince us to vote for Ron Paul (no offence Jer, just using it as an example), is that if you want to be free the way the Creator intended, then it starts with you and your family, then your neighborhood, then your community, then your city, then your state. When we and others around us accept that liberty is worth the cost and can convince our neighbors, cities and counties of the same, when our states have the balls and the backing to tell the federal government to go you-know-what themselves, then we will be free. Not when we elect the right president.

When we force our states to force the federal government to be as insignificant and inconsequential as it is supposed to be according to the Constitution, that will be a good start. Liberty starts from the ground up, not the top down.

I absolutely agree....

And, that is why I like this guy's response:

Axenolith
No, when there's a choice between two evils while you wait for the crap to hit the fan, you pick the one that lets you keep more of your shit and doesn't try to disarm you. Easy choice.

....because we are NOT moving in the direction you described...

Agreed!

Independence starts with I. If the majority of the electorate want to take the nation over the edge of a cliff, I will not be ruled by anyone at the point of a gun, not even the person who wants to stop the train.

Be safe.

Plus 3 here!! If you are not willing to defend your freedom...step out of the way!!
