It is if this is the government most people really want. You can decide that death is preferable. Maybe it is. But my fear is that it is irreversible because the people want big government.

It’s an appalling prospect, but nothing is irreversible.

I’m scared that the Socialist world my Leftwing parents have always wanted and worked towards because they are highly Educated and know what’s best for everybody else, is coming to fruition – even though they know nothing of business, economics, or even physics except the important philosophical aspects….

Thanks for posting your views about the 2004 elections, I now understand where you’re coming from, but I don’t see how you can reconcile your opposition to a marriage amendment and your tacit support for Roe v. Wade.

Assuming the marriage amendment passes with the required majorities, it would be something the people wanted and not a law made by a few unaccountable judges “telling the states what they have to think about it.”

I think the problem with the Libertarian model (and single issue voting in general) is that you fail to see the danger to your own liberties until is too late, which brings us to today. We’re now faced with a choice between a socialist and a centrist that for years has attempted to cross party lines while calling himself a conservative in the Reagan mold.

For decades we’ve been told that no matter how bad the Republicans are, it’s vitally important we vote for them because the Democrats are even worse. And all it’s gone is gotten us to a place where the Republicans are Worse than the Democrats were when we started. And of course this is entirely rational for Republican politicians. If you’re going to vote for them no matter what they do, why bother worrying about what you want?

It seems like we’re at a time when the opposition on Second Amendment issues is ready to say screw the Constitution, screw Heller*, we’ll do what we want (* in the name of “reasonable” restrictions) and we’re going to shut you all down.

I think maybe the sentiment that we’re all feeling is that this is really the last gasp of 60′s radicals, they’re getting impatient, and want to see their true vision (authoritarian socialism) in place before they take dirt naps.

I have to agree, Kerry wouldn’t have screwed the country as bad as BHO will.

That’s hard for me to say, because I dislike Kerry much more than I do Obama.

I think the bigger problem now with Hussein is that during the Carter years their was a “larger” base of conservative voters. Carter fooled alot of them(as is Hussein). Now we have at least 1.5 generations of voters who look for a helping hand from the .gov rather than looking at the end of their own arm. SCARY days ahead.

Nope, you have not lost your mind; I get the same feeling of gloom and doom from an Obama presidency. I just hope Andy Martin comes through in time to get him disqualified with news that he was born in Kenya.
