Lesser of 2 Evils

    In case you haven't noticed yet, this blog's primary purpose is to encourage an informed public (hopefully) to the end result of getting this Country back to what it was meant to be! All too often these days we hear some variation of the phrase: 'really it's just a question of the lesser of two evils'; or 'voting independent is just the same as a vote for [insert current 'other guy' here]'. Really? Is that really what we have come to? Giving in to the 'lesser of 2 evils'? If it's evil, why would we want it?
    When neither candidate is someone that you really care to support, there is almost always a third choice! I know what you are thinking, 'but there's no chance that an independent can actually win!' Well, if the independent is actually a decent choice, why wouldn't you vote for them? What happened to 'may the best man win'? Why are we so content to settle? Vote your conscious, and let the chips fall where they may. Who knows, if we all vote for someone we truly believe in, that independent may actually have a chance! Even if they don't win, a large enough chunk of people voting independent will at the least shake up the system a little bit and maybe just grab some attention and remind whoever it is that does get elected that they can and will be voted out if they don't pay attention to their boss!
    How much do you actually know about the candidates? Are you planning to vote for one simply because you don't like the other? Are you sure that what you are getting with that vote is actually any better or even any different? Now, don't get me wrong here; I believe that our current administration is purposely and intentionally doing everything within its power (and many things that it does not have the power to do) to destroy this nation! However, I'm afraid that simply voting Obama out of office is simply not enough! Especially not if we replace him with someone who really isn't very different! Just because someone SAYS that they are the answer or opposite of the problem, but can we believe what they say? So, what happens when we get Obama out and we use Romney to replace him? Are you just going to go back to sleep believing that somehow everything is now better? We need to WAKE UP AMERICA!!!! Do some research into who you are planning on voting for and figure out exactly what they DO stand for, and what exactly they plan to do once in office! Romney may be the 'lesser of 2 evils', however he is NOT what this country needs! In fact, if getting him elected is simply going to put the slowly waking sleeping giant back to sleep, then I'd almost rather Obama get re-elected! We, as Americans need to get MAD! Get LOUD! Stand up and VOTE! But don't throw your vote away, cast your vote for someone you actually believe in! Voting independent is NOT throwing your vote away. It is NOT 'voting for the other guy'. It IS a vote AGAINST BOTH of the evils!
    I believe that what we truly need to focus on this election is unseating as many 'incumbents' as possible; then send all the new guys letters stating that the only reason that they got the job was because we were SICK and TIRED of the 'Entrenched BS Politics' of their predecessors and that we REQUIRE of them to listen to their constituents (their BOSSES ie: US!) and that if they don't start seriously working on getting this country back on track, back to the basics of the constitution, and back to being a LIMITED Government that STAYS OUT of our personal and business daily lives that WE WILL REPLACE THEM the next go around and continue to do so until WE have OUR government and Country back!

Homosexuality

Ok, so I should probably start this with a disclaimer…  While I will ‘cite’ any sources that I use, this post is mainly consisting of what I believe to be ‘general knowledge’ and the rest is simply my opinion.

                Before you comment, or bash me for being ‘anti-whatever’, hate mongering, or whatever other drivel you will come up with, make sure that you actually READ ALL of what I have written below!

                I do NOT support ‘gay marriage’!  Big shocker; right?  I believe that homosexuality is simply unnatural.  Regardless of ‘religion’ or spirituality, etc., nature itself is full of ‘male’ and ‘female’ pairs and requires both sides in order to reproduce.  Before you scientists get after me, yes, I know there is some species of frog that can ‘change’ gender if there are no males available or whatever, but, again, that is nature ‘changing’ the gender to make sure that once again there is BOTH genders available to reproduce!  And furthermore, that is some rare species of frog, NOT a human!  As for the spiritual/religious aspect…  Yes, I’m a Christian who believes in the whole Bible.  I also believe that Jesus Christ came to ‘Fulfill’ the Old Testament Law, and therefore many of the ‘rules’ of the Old Testament no longer apply in a New Testament Covenant, so, no, I’m not going to quote the Book of Leviticus for my ‘religious’ reasons against homosexuality.  There are many places in the New Testament that speak against homosexuality.  The good book also tells me to love all people and not to judge others, but rather to speak against their sin and inform them of the Love of Jesus Christ!

                BUT, this is not a spiritual/religious/science/etc debate.  This is a POLITICAL debate.  One of the greatest things about this country is that while it was founded on ‘Christianlike morality’ [no, not on the religion of Christianity, just it’s moral code! ("The general principles on which the fathers achieved independence were the general principles of Christianity. I will avow that I then believed, and now believe, that those general principles of Christianity are as eternal and immutable as the existence and attributes of God." –John Adams)], one of the main morals that it was founded upon was the freedom from persecution and the freedom to practice whatever (or no) religion as each individual pleases, SO LONG AS that practice does not infringe on anyone else’s basic human rights!  God has given us ‘Free Will’ to choose Him or the world as we please.  As far as I can see, homosexuality does not infringe on anyone’s basic human rights to life, liberty, and property (Constitution, the ‘pursuit of happiness’ quote is from the declaration of Independence I believe; however, both apply here.)  That said; I cannot persecute someone for being gay, simply because I don’t agree with it!  I don’t like beets either, but I don’t think I’d get very far trying to outlaw them!

                The biggest problem with today’s government is that everyone wants a law for or against every little thing!  This country was also founded on the basis of a limited government principled in the idea that “a government that governs least, governs best”* (Often attributed to Thomas Jefferson, however no real source seems to exist except by Henry David Thoreau.).
