some thoughts about the elections

[Kejtar]

Buddy of mine sent it to me and I thought it's pretty funny:

How smart can either candidate be? They are spending US$200 million on a job that pays what, US$400 thousand a year.

And people wonder why the budget is never balanced.

Buddy of mine sent it to me and I thought it's pretty funny:

I hate to say it, but for me this election really boils down to 'who do I want to not vote for less?' Looks like I'm gonna be a pickup vote for the Libertarians if I don't just write my own damn name in.

Speaking of "who do I want to not vote for..." that seems to be a big theme among most of the people I know. In fact, among Democrats I can't find a single one who really likes Kerry for any reason other than the fact that he is someone OTHER than Bush that they can vote for. Among Republicans there seem to be a few who actually like Bush, but the majority seem to just not want to vote for any liberal Democrat (and Kerry certainly is that).

Sounds good.

At any rate, big government sucks. Sheep just don't realize how far things have gotten out of hand since the beginning. People have been dumbed down and duped into thinking that they can't take care of themselves and must be told exactly what to do. Government is ONLY supposed to exist to ensure that our rights are guaranteed...not 'protect' us from ourselves. People make mistakes, we live and are supposed to learn. We are supposed to be guaranteed freedom of religion, which means that I am allowed to choose whether I believe or not and which religion I believe in. Who are 'they' to force 'their' beliefs on me on a regular basis? If I were a consenting adult agreeing to have sex with another man in my OWN HOME, who are 'they' to tell me I 'can't'? Say it's wrong all you want, that's your personal belief...but if I want to love someone who happens to be of the same gender, what's it to you? Does it impact your life that much that you have to press your own fears and ignorance on others? Ignorance can lead to hate, and hate spreads amongst the weak of mind like wildfire. If people would go from the heart and think like individuals instead of following blindly (Ohhh, I'm a Conservative because I like guns!) I'm quite certain we'd be a lot better off. Encourage people to become more responsible and accountable for their actions. Encourage government to ease up on everyone and slacken up on dependance of other countries' resources. Since WWI we have slowly fallen into a laziness of getting others to do our bidding. We've allowed ourselves to be TAXED to the point that our government has way too much control of things. Hell, even in 1852 it was pointed out by Lysander Spooner who said, " "If the government can take a man's money without his consent, there is no limit to the additional tyranny it may practise upon him; for, with his money, it can hire soldiers to stand over him, keep him in subjection, plunder him at discretion, and kill him if he resists." Does this not mean anything to you? Think about it for a minute. We have been increasingly taxed to help support our blind government's bidding and misguided trials of meddling in others' affairs. Dependency on other countries for resources in order to 'save money' has led us to our current state of affairs. I think it's time we take our rights back and let it be known that we don't agree with what is forced upon us. A government that exists by force is no government for me. Let my charity work be voluntary, not exist from involuntary taxation of my money...only to be dumped into a poor excuse for a social program. It should be harder to receive welfare than it should be to obtain a building permit*. Abolish these dead-end/money-pit social services and let us take care of others voluntarily.

I could go on for days....and I've already ranted long enough. Please excuse me, I'm very tired. I leave you on a lighter note:


*You Might Be A Libertarian If...

Speed limits-If you just bought a new radar detector for your truck that shakes so badly it won't go over 55, then you might be a Libertarian.

Wetlands-If you think wetlands legislation would be a better idea if it was about allowing liquor to be sold on Sunday, then you might be a Libertarian.

Corruption-If you think 99 percent of politicians give the rest of them a bad name, then you might be a Libertarian.

Term limits-If you think that politicians should be limited to two terms, one in office and then one in jail, then you might be a Libertarian.

Justice-If you believe in Capitol Punishment... you believe that everyone in the Capitol ought to be punished, then you might be a Libertarian.

Military and Foreign Policy-If you think that rather than send our boys to die in Bosnia or Saudi Arabia, we should just shoot them here and save the shipping cost, then you might be a Libertarian.

Regulations-If you think that is should be harder to get welfare than it is to get a building permit, then you might be a Libertarian.

Freedom of the Press-If you think that a magazine worth banning is probably a magazine worth buying, then you might be a Libertarian.

Government Efficiency-If you think that crime wouldn't pay if the government ran it, then you might be a Libertarian.

Bureaucrats-If you think that the problem with civil servants is that too many of them are neither civil nor servants, then you might be a Libertarian.

The War on Drugs-If someone asks you if you mind if they smoke and you ask them to be more specific, then you might be a Libertarian.

The Environment-If you think we should save the planet... in fact, you think we should collect all NINE, then you might be a Libertarian.

Right to Privacy-If they ask you to take a urine test at work and you feel like telling them you'll give them a taste test, then you might be a Libertarian.

bush has dissapointed me plenty, but he's also made me proud to be an American on a higher level than ever before. He'll get my vote.

P.S. liberals are pussies.

 

[BrettM]

If I were a consenting adult agreeing to have sex with another man in my OWN HOME, who are 'they' to tell me I 'can't'?

[y2kxj]

At least the idea of less government is a good one and I agree with the social services rant but umm.......
it did sound a bit fruity there didn't it?
