Never again.  That's my answer to those who suggest the "right" thing to do is vote for the lesser of evils.  There are no lesser evils.  There are simply two brands of evil, both of which will control the populace if given the opportunity.  It will look different, but a vote for either major candidate is a vote for expanding  tyranny.   

In one ring, we have those who want us all to fork over our rights to avert "climate change."  When I was a kid, the prevailing climate fear mongering was that we were heading toward the next ice age and we were all going to freeze to death.  Now they're telling us we're going to boil over.  Incidentally, it was when the world cooled that we had major disaster; remember the Dark Ages?  Anyway, since it's a such a travesty that the climate is changing (isn't that always the case?), I'm supposed to give up my incandescent light bulbs.  Incandescents, by the way, turn on immediately, offer more flattering light, and coincidentally (???) have a much lower profit margin for GE, one of the companies who lobbied for the change because . . .  they're so concerned about the environment.  Isn't that sweet?  So yeah, let's all save the planet by making everyone buy fluorescents and help GE make a profit while we're at it. 

In the other corner, we have the 9-11 fear mongers.  They have expanded Big Brother like I never dreamed possible prior to the big, bad day.  The Patriot Act rendered our constitutional liberties worthless.  It's all in the name of protecting us though, so that's supposed to make it okay. 

Our forefathers warned us about people who would promise us security in exchange for small losses in liberty, but as far as I can tell we didn't hear a thing they said and are diving in head first.   

So this time I am a one issue voter: FREEDOM.  This November I will not hold my nose as I vote, and I will not walk away from the voting booth ashamed.  If I must write in my candidate, so be it.  Both major candidates promise to protect from different villains, but their promises will go up in smoke, along with our liberties.  I was fooled before, but not again.  If I must, I will go down with this ship.  There can be no more compromise or there will be no more freedom to give: Go RON PAUL 2008.
