Liberty Reborn

Scott Brown’s election to one of Massachusetts’ Senate seats was a foregone conclusion to anyone watching the polls. Martha Coakley did not stand a chance on Election Day. She was a dead woman walking for trying to sugar coat her support of unpopular policies. No number of buses packed with ACORN bought voters or SEIU members could have saved her from her own incompetence.

With only 46% of Americans giving Congress a “Fair” or better rating (4% “Excellent, 12% “Good”, 30% “Fair”) things are not looking good headed into the 2010 elections. Especially with 53% rating their performance as “Poor”. That rating is even more disturbing to members of Congress considering where the current standing of the “generic ballot” where only 38% of Americans favor Democrats over Republicans. 42% favor the GOP.

When you look at the 2008 Presidential Election, American was screwed either way and no matter who won. That is exactly why I neither supported nor voted for either of the two major candidates. I refused to play a game where we either elected a man in John McCain, who while at times talks a good game, really has embraced the socialism that has infected America or we elected a man in Barack Obama who does not think that socialism goes far enough and has talked extensively about full blown Marxism.

A common myth, generally perpetrated by those that succeed when they convince the ignorant to act on their ignorance, is that everyone in American that can vote, because they are of legal age, should.

Recently I have been having some interesting conversations with people I know about political ideologies and the upcoming election in November. This is true especially now as many on the left are getting antsy with Barack Obama and his backtracking on some issues, refining his position on others and a perceived move to the middle on even more.

As this year’s election cycle kicks into high gear, so too do the party hacks and unknowing pundits. I know that the English language has it’s quirks but it certainly is not that hard to understand for anyone that grew up speaking it.

You may have come across the latest claims by so called “conservatives” who are calling radio talk shows and writing letters to the editor. They claim, being conservatives, that they are so disgruntled with John McCain being the nominee of the Republican Party that they are going to do something rather bizarre. What is this bizarre thing? Why they are going to vote for a socialist, namely Barack Obama if he is the Democrat nominee, in November.

Liberals are still out there fighting hard for socialized medicine because it is just one more way for them to get their hands in your pockets and micromanage your life. And what is wrong with a little, itsy bitsy, teeny-weenie white lie along the way to help further their goal right?

The dictionary defines change as something “radically different” or to “undergo a modification”. So here is a riddle. When is change not change but just more of the status quo? When it’s Barack Obama’s version of change of course.

So which are you? Are you a racist or are you a sexist? This is the question that is facing Democrats this election year as they head to the polls and decide whether to vote for Hillary Clinton or for Barack Obama.
