I Believe In Our Republic

[PegLeg45]

Well put, jp1, pretty much my sentiments.

I choose to vote for any qualified Libertarian candidate on the ballot, but in this election, the stakes were too high.

My dismay and anguish is not that the candidate I voted for, Romney, lost but that BHO won...a lost for the entire country including those who voted for him...they just haven't found out yet.

Everyone's effort should have been to keep BHO from being re-elected.

Yep.

Before you can set about cleaning up a train wreck, you must first derail the train.

Idiots in Missouri and Indiana cost two Senate seats.  Legitimate rape guy, and pregnancy by rape is a gift from God guy.  Those two jackwagons likely cost the ticket votes both up and down as well, and not just in Indiana and Missouri.

Whoa.  That is what the media said.  Not what he said.  You are  believing the mainstream lying media.  Leftist thugs created words and attributed it to him....not what he said...do not fall for that and build up a mistaken belief. 

Next, here is the lesser of two evils, Romney, who looks like, feels like, smells like the left's candidate as much as possible so the RINO's can entice votes from the other side.  That is not leadership....that's following and even losers can smell that.

Better to stand for something and fall then to stand for their values and get belittled and be a LOSER.

The lesser of two evils did really well, eh?  So....trying to win by being more palatable to the other side makes perfect sense, right?  Time to reexamine.  So much for RINO logic...the dems are in for the kill and guess who is in the crosshairs.

I heard the words from their own lips.  Naturally, I heard it on radio, so I can't be certain it was them.  Indiana guy during a debate, and Missouri guy during an interview.  They tried to spin their ways out of it, but, too late.

It is over and done with now.  Gotta move on, and I don't mean .org either.

Just some food for thought seems our republics has been sick for a long time...

10/26/01 - The Patriot Act - Removed most of the protections of the 4th, 5th and 10th amendments of the Constitution. A perfect example as to why guarding your enemies freedoms protects your own.

The Reagan 1980-88 In the name of defeating the threat of the USSR and communism, national debt is considered acceptable. During this time we also created enemies in the Middle East, SE Asia, and South America. Because we are fooled by numbers, we look back and see that the deficit only increased 1.9 trillion dollars during Reagan's 8 years in office. In actuality he tripled the deficit from 900 billion to 2.8 trillion dollars.

7/30/1965 - Social Security Act of 1965 - Creation of free healthcare or greatly subsidized healthcare. Prior to this most people had no insurance or insurance only for catastrophic events. Healthcare was relatively cheap, after this act healthcare prices rose at rates double than that of inflation as government set prices for care that became the standard price, as it became illegal to charge people less than government charged.

8/14/1935 - The Social Security Act - This Removed the responsibility of family to take care of their elders and created a sense of entitlement to not work after a certain age.

12/23/13 - The Federal Reserve Act - Took Control of the Currency away from the Government and into the hands of the International Bankers in the name of controlling inflation and deflation and curbing the business cycle. A 2012 dollar is now worth less than 2 cents.

7/9/1868 - the 14th Amendment - effectively removes the power of the 10th amendment of the Constitution, removes sovereignty of the states and the individuals. Before this a person would have identified themselves as a citizen of Virginia of THESE United States. Now a person was a citizen of THE United States who RESIDES in Virginia.

4/15/1861 - The Federal Government Authorizes force to keep states from seceding from the Union. A violation of its authority.

The Jefferson Years - Used force unconstitutionally in attacking a sovereign nation without consent of Congress. A precedent that created horrible wars in the future. Indebted the US without congressional approval in a purchase of land the country benefited from. But showed that the president was more like king than servant.

7/1794 - Washington illegally orders federal military to put down tax protesters in Western PA - Washington and his friends were charging a lower tax rate to BIG whiskey than to small whiskey.

All in all I'd say the actual notion of the Constitution was left behind only five years after inception.
