Obama is the one that has me up at nights...his is a lethal combination of charismatic energy, leftist economic theory, ethnocentric symbolism, and suicidal pacifistic humanism. Any Republican is far superior to this nightmare.
On the one hand, he truly is a frightening "type and shadow" of the biblical representation of the AC. I used to read that stuff, and wonder how any one person could "unite" all the major religious factions. I mean, OK, "the Catholics and the Protestants", that's one thing. But, the Muslims? No way could anyone appeal to them too.
Then along comes Barack Hussein Obama, with a face for every crowd.
Yes, chilling.
But, on the other hand, we've got this nominal Christian who goes around mouthing endless platitudes about "the beautiful religion of peace"...
"Any Republican is far superior to this nightmare"?
Maybe, maybe not.
I tell you what. You vote your conscience, and I'll vote mine. If mine is "none of the above" -- or a write-in of someone I believe to be qualified for the job -- then you don't condemn me, and I won't condemn you.
(I very well may say "I told you so", however...)
I'll be honest. I'm tired of politics. Maybe it wouldn't be like this if there was some variety to the "political diet" -- but when both sides are merely two sides of the same coin -- when two sides give different pep talks, in order to get their fans to get them into office -- but once there, they all do the same thing (and no one can argue that the current "conservative" has NOT accomplished stuff that Clinton could only have dreamed of getting passed while he was in power), then I have appetite fatigue.
If I'm going to be ruled over (and our "leaders" have morphed into "rulers"), them I'm not going to kid myself into playing the game, pretending that it makes a difference. There are lots of things I'd rather do in my declining years. I enjoy fishing. Haven't done a lot of it. I think it's time for me to dust off the ol' flyrod, tie on a leader, and practice my casting. I like taking landscape photographs. Haven't done much of that either. I like cooking. I've been putting off boning up on the regs so that I can get a General Class ham license.
There are plenty of things I can enjoy doing, without giving myself ulcers over whether "my" candidate will be the one to slip his iron fist into the velvet glove.
