Like Pictures in a Museum

Have you ever wondered why the more things change the more they stay the same? Why after all of your hard work and pleading on your knees for things to change they don't? I have asked myself those same questions after almost every election where the candidates that I have supported have failed to win. This time I am backing off of the emotional backlash that I usually rely on as I felt the hurricane force of someone laying into me because of my personal and political views and so will not spew more vitriol into the current climate. What I came to realize is that it really is up to me to do something. No wailing and crying and gnashing of teeth will ever move the voters one iota. With only 23% of registered voters in the state taking the time to cast their ballot, it appears that they are too busy watching Lady Gaga on YouTube (over 300,000,000 views) to get off their collective *s to take part in what well could be the last battle for freedom and liberty in this nation.

So for me I will continue to fight the good fight, preserve the principles of the Founders, and look to November as the next battle in the war for Freedom. When David Letterman asked "Who do they want to take the country back from?" I thought of Pilate's famous line "What is Truth?"
Now wanting Freedom from an oppressive federal government, the New American Plantation, where all your needs womb (if you make it out alive) to tomb are taken care of as long as you give your allegiance to the slave daddies in Big Government, is considered a radical stance, un-American, unpatriotic. Letterman is representative of the New Aristocracy where a subhuman can earn over $20 million a year by pushing the company line. "If you're a good boy, Dave, you can have Barry join you on the set and we will see to it that those pesky sexual harassment charges disappear."

So will it be that the very idea of a Republic disappears and the only remnant of it is a series of portraits hung in some dusty museum where few ever go as it is so passe?

As for me, this day, I choose Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. What do you choose?
