Yay, only two days before election. Well, I figure before this day comes and passes, I will post my views on the whole election, and hope I don’t get any idiots attacking my beliefs in my comment section.
So, who am I supporting, Obama or McCain? How about neither of them hypocritical phonies. Change? Ha! I doubt that will come from either major party. We’ve had Bush for the past 8 years, he hasn’t done good, and of course, for the past 2 years, we’ve had a Democratic majority in Congress, and that hasn’t helped us much either. Is there any party out there that is out there for the peoples inerest, and not for the parties interests, or their candidate’s interests.
Very recently, I have decided to look into two different parties, the Constitution and Libertarian Partys. Chuck Baldwin happens to be the candidate for the Constitution Party, and Bob Barr is the candidate for the Libertarian Party. I feel that these two candidates are much more genuine than the Main Party options we have, and will probably do a lot more to help this country in return. What bothers me, is the fact that these candidates were not allowed to be in the debates earlier in this race, despite the fact that both of these candidates are in the ballot or can be written in in so many states, that if most of America got disgusted with Obama and McCain suddenly, they could get enough electorate votes to win.
Anyway, to continue on. Why am I supporting a 3rd party candidate? Well, although some of you may think its a waste, but you know what a real waste us? Supporting one of the lesser of two evils. The real waste is a vote for somebody that doesn’t stand for what you believe in. Some on conservatives, does John McCain TRULY represent you? After Bush, and now McCain this time, do you truly believe they are conservatives? They aren’t. Sarah Palin is the most conservative person in this campaign. The Republican party had a couple chances for some real good conservatives in the primaries, Ron Paul and Mike Huckabee are great, true, conservatives that would have done great for America.
Now, what about Barack Obama? Mr. Change, Barry Obama, Nobama, etc. What about this man that so many Democrats happen to be praising constantly, the media giving him a free ride. What is so great about this man? Is it because he’s black? Is it cause he keeps spouting out the word change all the time? Would you be praising McCain all the time of he was Half-black, and kept spouting out the word change? Obama is a powerful speaker, and I’ll give him that, but he doesn’t even have a real congressional record except for voting Present on quite a few things. We can’t tell whether this guy is a flip-flop, or is truly for America’s best interests. He also just got into the senate. Just as insane as it was for the Republican party and conservatives to choose McCain, the Democrat Party is just as insane to put up a guy that has no real record that we can judge him upon. At least from McCain’s record we can tell he’s been a Flip-flop the past 8 years and kissing religious ass.
Now, whats the real difference between the two major party candidates, except that one has a record of flip-flopping and the other has yet to create one. They both voted on the bail-out bill, in fact, McCain kept endorsing it. Both major party candidates are two wings of the same crashing bird, and the problem is the fact the wings are failing. Obama and McCain are two broken wings, and we are about to put our trust into either one of these broken wings. If America was a bird, we’d definitely be going down crashing.
Why is it, that we are putting our trust in the same two major parties, each one promising something different from the previous guy, yet, does nothing but the same. Obama sounds a lot like Bill Clinton in 92, and Bill Clinton was the guy that ended up forcing banks to give out very risky loans. McCain, the maverick, despite what he stood for in 2000, sounds like he’s kissing republican ass on all levels this election. Neither of these two candidates have integrity, neither of these have policies that work. Big Government has been proven to fail, and thats what we are getting with these two candidates. One more-so than the either. We have been the most successful when the government tends to stay out of things.
I was watching an episode of 20/20 in the past couple weeks, forget the hosts name that night, but he compared big government to somebody trying to dictate what you do on a skating rink instead of the people creating order themselves. You know what happened, everybody started falling down, crashing into each other, etc. Then he brings in an experienced skater to try to do the same thing, and people continue to start falling down and crashing into each other.
So what do I want? I want somebody who actually supports small government, somebody who actually wants to abide by the constitution, end the corruption of Income tax and the IRS. Somebody who isn’t willing to bail out companies, or “redistribute” the wealth. I want somebody who represents the American people, and not just a party, or in it for personal gain. I want somebody who wants to protect my rights, including my second Amendment rights. I want somebody who will let Americans live their lives, and spend their money the way they want, instead of telling us how we spend our money or redistributing our money for us. If we want to donate to charity, we should have that choice to do so, or not to do so. The government perhaps is the most corrupt Charity Organization in this country.
Those are perhaps many reasons why I’m conservative. Well, because I’m conservative, you must think I don’t support rights for homosexuals, or rights for this group or people, etc. Well, that is wrong. Actually, when I seen Ron Paul’s take on Individual Rights, I really agreed with it. It isn’t just about a group of people’s rights, it just isn’t Asian rights, it just isn’t Hispanic Rights, Gay Rights, African-American rights. Its all about Individual RIghts and Freedoms, to live our lives the way we want to and choose to do so. Why are we focusing on a speicific group of peoples rights, that only tries to limit the freedoms of the “oppresive group”. Why don’t we focus on the rights and freedoms of every single individual person, and not just a specific group of people.
Next issue that comes up, is people must think, because I’m conservative, I must support the war. I admit, when I was listening to the republican party, before I started to really look into my political beliefs and look into these third parties, I agreed with McCain on issues on the war (though, not as exagerated as Democrats try to make it.) Though, after I did some research, and looked into the Third Parties, the way Ron Paul, Chuck Baldwin, and Bob Barr explained it, was in reference to the constitution, and not just going “Oh, what about those poor soldiers.” I now believe the war shouldn’t have been started the way it was, that it was unconstitutional, and that Iraq was no direct threat to us. Which brings me to my next point, when anti-war points are brought up, I prefer to see things in reference to the constitution, and not some “Hippies” crying about the soldiers over their, and the way I’ve heard about the war from the leftist point of view over and over again.
Abortion is another issue that comes up a lot. Now, I may personally not believe in that, as a lot of the times I’ve heard of it being done is when people have sex too often or at crazy parties and just want to be bailed out of the situation. There are those cases where you may not be able to afford the child, well, there are many couples out there, who are not capable of having a child, who would love to adopt. Most of the time when there are abortions, its to be bailed out of a situation and not for personal health reasons. Now, unless you absolutely need to for health reasons, which is very rare, you just shouldn’t have an abortion. People may not agree with me on that, but, thats how I see things.
Gun control, thats an issue I argue about a lot of the time. I don’t believe that we should loose our second Amendment rights. Many of the cities with very high crime rates, have already banned guns. In England, you hear a lot about knife-crime increasing. Now, if you take a look at Switzerland, they have a very high Gun count per capita, yet, they happen to have one of the lowest gun-related crime rates in the world? Probably because if you try to shoot somebody with a gun, the other person probably has a gun to choose back, and you don’t want to take that risk. Well, despite statistics, I know quite a few people (probably from the fact I live in the South) who happen to enjoy hunting as an activity, whether it be hunting with a gun or bow-hunting. I also know some people who shoot on a range without issue. Not to mention, people tend to use very creative ways to get past gun control, whether it be killing with a knife, or with other objects. I believe one of the things that makes America great, is the fact that we have this freedom to have the choice on whether to own a gun or not, instead of having the government make that decision for us.
Now, I can continue going on talking about my beliefs, but, I might as well say who I am supporting in this race. I am supporting Chuck Baldwin and Darrel Castle of the Constitution Party. Why? Because I’d rather support somebody who can represent my beliefs, instead of one of the lesser of two evils, or, the evils or two lessers, and why does it have to be two evils? Anyway, with that on mind, I will put a great quote below my closing.
Anyway, please comment and possibly subscribe. Thanks for reading.
