Obama must be defeated..For the sake of our nation and its future..I will vote for Romney. MY conscience will not allow me to do otherwise.
***Your conscience? More of that argle-bargle stuff Kent was talking about.

Once you’ve finally managed to define “conservative” downwards to the point where all it means — literally, the ONLY thing it still means — is “Not Obama”: then you’re no longer part of any coherent, principled or intellectually defensible political ideology.

All you’re doing, at that point, is taking part in an imbecilic, nation-wide version of “Shirts Vs. Skins.”

Which is absolutely fine. For children.

I’ve seen so deplorably many FReepers, on this thread, proudly fetishizing their fears; maniacally attempting, literally, to OUT-DO their fellows in some freakish, Dodo-esque attempt to come out (ultimately) as Craven Coward Numero Uno.

(”I fear The Kenyan so impossibly much, I’d vote for C’Thulhu and all his assorted Elder Gods, instead! Booga-Booga-Booga!” “If you wouldn’t gleefully chop your own grandchildren up into mincemeat — and then fry up and messily gobble the remains — in order to vote for Mitt Romney, then YOU DON’T FEAR OBAMA ENOUGH TO LOVE AMERICA AND *ARRGLE*BLARRGLE*AAAAAIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEE — !!!”)

I’ve never seen sweaty, bug-eyed cowardice — unalloyed and unabashed — elevated, by a delusional few, into an actual exemplar of “patriotic reason” (or whatever), before this thread.

Would that I had gone quite a bit longer still, before being accorded such an opportunity... particularly on Free Republic.
