I respect the right to vote as one chooses, but this is an EMERGENCY.

Why is every election an emergency?


Who said every election? Not me.

Back to this topic, keeping the UN out of our business, staying out of the ICC, protecting free speech and the right to bear arms, and standing up for this country without apology constitute an emergency to me. If you don't mind these things, write in the easter bunny.

No, not you. But I've been hearing this -- from both sides, GOP and Dems -- for some 20 years.

I've always lived among Dems in NY and LA, and every election is the one that will return coathanger abortions (should the GOP win). Every election is the one that will dissolve US sovergnty and confiscate all guns (should the Dems win). And both sides agree -- this will be the last free election (should the other side win).

When I was in high school in the late 1970s, I discovered some books by Gary Allen (a John Bircher type). In None Dare Call It Conspiracy he warned that 1972 will be the last free election unless conservatives retake Congress from the CFR. In The Rockefeller File he predicted that 1976 would be the last free election. And in Jimmy Carter, Jimmy Carter he said 1980 would be the last free election.

I read all three books about the same time, after the 1972 and 1976 elections, so I could already see that at least two of his predictions were wrong.

I know this: sometimes the Dems win, sometimes the GOP, but things pretty much continue in the same direciton, without much radical change either way. So I've stopped worrying about "emergency" elections.

In 2000, Cher said that if Bush won, "You wouldn't have a single f*ck*ng right left," but she was wrong too. Likewise, I don't buy anyone warning about this election. I no longer much care whether Bush or Kerry wins, so I'm comfortable voting for Badnarik.
