Everyone knows there's a primary today in California and a bunch of other states. Super-Tuesday the media are calling it. What a cool buzzword! Excuse me while I vomit. 
Republicans get to vote for 2 overly liberal candidates, Sen. John McCain and Mit Romney; Democrats get to vote to choose between a socialist woman - Sen. Hillary Clinton and a socialist man - Sen. Barak Obama. One of those Democrats will turn out to be a 'first'... First woman candidate from a major party, or first black candidate from a major party. Whoo Hoo... let the festivities begin!
As I have said many times lately, I have no problem voting for a woman... But I will not vote for Sen. Clinton. To prove I'm not just saying that, I'll let you know who I am voting for, in my party's primary. Christine Smith is getting my vote.
From Christine's blog entry of Jan. 26th, 2008:
...we should strongly shine the light of liberty for all...because each time you do, more blinders come off and people see.
Granted, the socialist mentality is inbred in generation after generation thanks to government schools which raise our youth to be good little slaves - obedient to social conformity - and to all its masters with the government being their primary source of provision and security. Children are taught not to question, but to accept. Thus, we have millions of Americans who actually believe government serves them by protecting them both as a nation and even as an individual should they require help in their personal lives. They're not about to challenge the status quo - it's always been this way so why challenge it? - or so goes such a line of thought.
But it has not always been this way. Americans were once a strong people who valued independence. We were a nation of people who had a strong self identity as individuals, a greater understanding that we own ourselves, are responsible for ourselves, and are entitled to the fruits of our labor. We for years had an ingrained abhorrence for taking what was not ours, much less allowing others to steal from us and give it to others, and yet somehow we as a society have devolved into a weak people who look to government to take care of them from birth to grave. But for 126 years Americans were free from being taxed on their income. We worked, we invested, we bought homes. Our income and savings had value. We were far freer than today personally and economically.
All this talk of 'change' by the major-party candidates. Bullshit! When a Democrat or a Republican is voted into office, you get the SAME OLD CRAP! Do you want change? Here's what the 2 major parties say to that: 'YOU CAN'T HANDLE CHANGE!' Nothing will change. Government will continue to grow, to control more and more of each and every citizens' lives. Our dependence on oil will stay the same. Pollution will keep happening. More and more free enterprise will be taken over by the federal government. You don't want change. You're sheeple(1), and as long as your day-to-day doesn't get worse any faster than it is right now, you're content to graze on whatever the main-stream media feeds you.
WAKE UP!
If you REALLY want change, start SERIOUSLY checking out the other politcal parties. Libertarian is obviously my choice, but put aside the media's bashing of the Green Party, American Independent Party or the Peace And Freedom Party and see what REAL change is all about.
You can be a part of change. You can help facilitate change. But it isn't going to happen by voting for McClintObamNey. If ANY third-party candidate gets a significant amount of votes, the power structure in D.C. can and will change. But until SHEEPLE become concerned citizens WORTHY of the legacy of our founders - the B.S. in D.C. will continue ad naseum.
