It took quite a few years before the nation we call today the United States came into being. It took a lot of torment and no small amount of convulsions to bring it to birth as it sought to cast off its rugged taskmasters and claim a freedom for itself and a place on the world stage.

It may well be that we are in much a similar situatiion where we will have to rise again and stand against tyranny and despots, only this time, they will be within our own government.

No one wants to see that come to be, but to deny that we still hold the same ideals as our founding fathers and lack their inner strengths to stand tall and fight the good fight when no other course is open to maintain the union should concern all of us, especially our party leaders.

I would hate to see so many ready to just give up and go along to get along for the sake of party unity, more for the sake of appearance than anything.

The message sent in so doing bodes ill for all those who seek freedom and not tyranny as their choice on how they would seek to live.

agreed.

It may however be somewhat more difficult to throw the yoke with the personification of all you ills as the commander in chief of the armed forces of the Unites States

I won’t vote for McCain for “party unity.”

I will do it to prevent a worse disaster from occurring.

I see voting AGAINST McCain, at this point, as cutting off one’s proverbian nose to spite one’s proverbial face.
