Fair is fair.
Would the founding fathers, have elected a man whose politics/actions run contrary to the very Constitution they conceived?
No, FRiend. They would not. Being a Texan, I am far less tolerant than most who will allow their liberties to be taken from them without a fight. Many times since Obama was elected, I looked around me to see who was ready to march on Washington D.C. I saw very few.
I do not have much confidence that the current generation of Americans understands what freedom is. They have always been free. They know nothing else. My grandparents, who were married in 1936, raised me differently from anyone else I know who is my age (42). They taught me to trust in the Lord first. They taught me the value of a dollar. They taught me that a hard day's labor is its own reward. They taught me that your word is worth more than money or power.
I can't allow Obama to be re-elected. I must do everything within my power to stop it. Since my fellow Americans are not ready to march on Washington to physically remove some of the traitors who sit in power, I feel I must give Romney a chance. If he loses, I will reassess my options.
I will not tell you that your vote is a vote for Obama. That would be disingenuous. I respect your decision. You do what you must do.
Just to clarify my position, I ‘get’ why people will vote for MR. I get that Obama is the ultimate disaster and they are banking on less of a disaster...which I’ll give you he is. Let me explain my overall position by way of an example I used before on FR and hopefully it will help you understand my and perhaps others position better. Short version...
For a number of years I was Senior Ed at Off-Road.com. we were heavily into land use issues for obvious reasons and were quite vocal, even garnering network and major media coverage. Our thing was to go at the eco nuts full bore, giving no quarter. It made us lots of friends in the public and industry and just as many enemies. We had some successes of note but our biggest problem proved to be our own readership. you see, many of them were the very same go-along/get along types that infest the Republican party and much of America.
The end result was that rather than stand up to the Sierra/BLM et all, they chose to ‘get along’ and instead of standing for what they KNEW to be right, they chose the ‘lesser evil’ of compromise with the greens.
The very same tracts of land that they ‘compromised’ a bit of closure on 13ish years ago are totally closed today.
Bottom line: That compromise with evil cost them everything. As will compromise with the Liberal Republican win today. History is one tape loop of events. Hopefully the above will help you get a better idea of why I believe as I do.
