Elections Have Consequences

Share
If you've lost equity in your home, don't you dare vote for a liberal in 2010.
If you've lost value in your 401K or retirement plan, don't you dare vote for a liberal in 2010.
If you're paying more for gas and food and utilities, don't you dare vote for a liberal in 2010.
If you've lost your job, don't you dare vote for a liberal in 2010.

As much as they try to pin the blame for this on our last president, the Democrat party has controlled both houses of Congress for the last two years, which is the time during which I saw everything in my life cost more or lose value. Obama and his friends only want to use power to empower themselves. This is not about helping the little people. He won't even send his brother in Kenya $20 to double his annual earnings. He doesn't care about you. He cares about what he can extract from you. Taxpayers according to Obama exist to serve the government, and you will see that as his presidency unfolds.

Not one Republican in the House of Representatives voted for the bailout today. When this plan fails, as it inevitably will, it will hang like a millstone around the necks of the 242 Democrats who betrayed you in a vain attempt to concentrate power. The ESP (European Socialist Party) has taken over the Democrat party of Thomas Jefferson. They voted against the Constitution which establishes limited government, against capitalism which creates wealth and prosperity. There is nothing wrong with the principle of Capitalism or Federalism- there are only bad people who claim to be adherents thereunto. In my book Responsible Liberty, I talk about conscientious capitalism, but even a corrupted version of capitalism is better than socialism in any form.

I hope that some of the elected officials live lives of corruption because they know not what they do. I believe that unless people are woefully ignorant or irredeemably wicked that if they disagree with me it's not because they truly want to destroy what I want but because they really believe their ideas will get them what they want. There are many yet on the earth who are blinded by the subtle craftiness of men and who are kept from the truth because they know not where to find it, wherefore that we should waste and wear out our lives bringing to light the hidden things of darkness and lead men into the light. If you've never read in Plato about the Cave analogy, you should (Plato's Republic). I know it's hard to look at the light when you're used to seeing shadow and it's easy to sit back down in the dark and watch shadows of the truth. For my own part, I love the animating contest of freedom more than wealth or servile tranquility, which is why I choose to live as Don Quixote.

To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go

To right the unrightable wrong
To love pure and chaste from afar
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star

This is my quest
To follow that star
No matter how hopeless
No matter how far

To fight for the right
Without question or pause
To be willing to march into Hell
For a heavenly cause

And I know if I'll only be true
To this glorious quest
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm
When I'm laid to my rest

And the world will be better for this
That one man, scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable star

Remember, remember, on the 2nd of November 2010. Stand up for liberty; stand up for the Constitution; stand up for those who love lower taxes and smaller government. Get behind people who understand what the Founding Fathers had in mind. Our nation, no matter what Nancy Pelosi says, was founded on a platform of lower taxes. I will never forget that about Governor Gibbons, and I will continue to advocate for that in every letter I write no matter how many canned responses they return to me. On my honor, I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country, to help other people at all times, to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.

Godspeed the right.
