Good morning, Ringy, Loddy. At least it's still morning out here on the west coast. I haven't voted yet, but have filled out my sample ballot. It's a loooong one. There are quite a few measures and propositions on the ballot. I voted "No" on any of them that cost money. Not that that'll do any good. Even with the huge debt load we have in California, the brain-dead people of California continue to vote for more bond indebtedness. There are at least three bond issues on the ballot this time. There are also some very baaaad propositions.
I've been reflecting a bit on this year's election. It seems that the past four years have just flown by. I can so clearly remember the turmoil of the last presidential election, and the stress of the court battles and not knowing who was going to be our president. I found it appalling that we could be there again. The election laws and rules are there to determine how to cast ballots and how to count them, and yet we have courts that are more than willing to throw out existing law and make up new rules to suit their own ideology. Why do we put up with this, and what can we do to stop it? I feel pretty helpless at times when the tyranny of the courts deprive us of our god-given rights, guaranteed under the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
I can't see into the future, but I am concerned for the state of our Republic, and the constant erosion of our rights and freedoms.
I'm concerned also. It seems very quaint to think of fighting wars in other Countries to give their Citizens the right to vote, and having to face the democrats upsurping and hijacking our own elections. It burns me to the bone.
We had few add ons to our ballot today, thankfully. We did have the marriage amendement thing and a couple of Judges. That's all.
I got a phone call from the State of Ohio, yesterday, asking me to vote for one of their State Judges. ROFLOL. The man didn't stay on the phone long enough for me to tell him he had the wrong address. :)
What you said, Cheri, what you said.
Wake up, America!
