In case any of you out here in the land of mañana haven't heard, there's been a sea change at the top (Obama the capitalism-hating, liberty-hating, America-hating Marxist must be destroyed!!). From the founder himself, Obama must be defeated for this great republic to have a chance to survive. It means we must swallow hard and do what is necessary to assist in getting Romney/Ryan elected.
Now I'm as uncomfortable as many are (including JimRob) on who exactly Romney is. But his selection of a principled conservative like Paul Ryan as a running mate has made my doubts mostly fade, or at least be temporarily put aside for the greater good.
Some long time NM FReepers may disagree; but as more conservatives are coming around to support the ticket, hopefully you too can get past your doubts.
A great article by Thomas Sowell, dated tomorrow, has just been posted - "Issues" or America? (Thomas Sowell on Obama) One passage says much about what we have to fear from a second Obama term: "When a President can ignore the plain language of duly passed laws, and substitute his own executive orders, then we no longer have "a government of laws, and not of men"...
The time has come; we no longer have the luxury of watching from the sidelines but instead have to convince friends, relatives, co-workers what a disaster a second Obama term would mean. It's time to OUST the MARXIST!
When a President can ignore the plain language of duly passed laws, and substitute his own executive orders, then we no longer have "a government of laws, and not of men" but a President ruling by decree, like the dictator in some banana republic.
