Willbert’s Idiot Free Zone

I am sick and tired of people telling me that I will be wasting my vote by voting for Bob Barr. I am sorry, but John McCain is not entitled to my vote. I simply feel that Obama vs McCain is a non-choice because the election of either of those two individuals will lead to bigger government at the end of the first term. The simple truth is, republicans want to be your daddy, democrats want to be your momma, and the libertarians want to treat you like an adult.

Here are my reasons to vote for Bob Barr in November:

1) We must preserve our national sovereignty at all costs. This means a secure border (but open to those who will obey the law). This means that we should tell the UN and any other international organization to screw off.

2) I support our troops overseas, but they have been sent over there to complete a mission they are neither trained nor equipped to do. Military forces are about one thing and one thing only: killing people. I’m sorry that this is unpopular, but our Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines are not the police department for the world.

3) The current taxation system in America is very similar to stealing. Have you ever seen a homeless man outside your car window begging for change? Did you give him a few bucks? Perhaps enough to buy himself a beer? For those of you who did, good for you. For the rest of you, let’s just say I pull out my .38 Smith and Wesson and use tell you that I’m going to add a few holes to your body if you don’t hand him $5. That would be wrong correct? So why is it any different when the government steals money from your paycheck to give to the same guy? In fact, now that the President Robin Hood is stealing from the initiated and redistributing to the uninitiated, what incentive does that individual have to improve himself? Don’t worry, I can’t think of any either. Probably means there’s not a good incentive.

4) I do not believe that more government is the solution to anything. The government which governs best is that which governs least.

5) I support an individual’s freedom to make and learn from his or her own decisions. That does not mean that the government should be there to bail out those who fail. If at first we fail, we try again. I take responsibility for myself and for my family, and I expect you to do the same.

I guess you could say I hold some unconventional viewpoints. But I would rather be unconventional and right than conventionally wrong. But in America, a vote cast for what you believe in your heart to be right is never wasted. The only way this country will ever see true change is if people get over this false notion that they have to vote for one of the two evil parties and start demanding long term solutions to our ailments.
