I hate to say I told you so

It is with a huge sigh that I write this:

I knew this would happen, I predicted it months ago. I will say it once and get it over with; I told you so.

What a disappointment the elections were this year. We have one of the worst presidents in history and the best contender we could come up with was Mitt Romney who was essentially the same on every level.

So America voted for the lesser of two evils once more, and evil prevailed. Some thought the lesser evil was Romney, and the others thought it was Obama. It was a near even split.

If the republican establishment hadn’t been so corrupt; Ron Paul would have been nominated and would have won by a landslide. Mitt Romney did nothing to energize the youth base, and indeed many senior conservatives shunned the youth vote altogether. I guess you get what you pay for.

Even if you add up all the Gary Johnson votes to the Mitt Romney votes, Obama still wins. So you can’t go blaming those of us who voted on true principles for that.

I could go on and on about how I told you so, and why Ron Paul would have been better, and how he would have won, but I’ve already mentioned all that in my previous articles. If you want; you can go look through my archives; its all there.

So where do we go from here?

I guess the silver lining is that the Tea Parties will still be around, and people will remain awake. One thing that concerned me about a potential Romney win was that many people would go back to sleep with a conservative as president.

I’m not going to rehash old debates and articles, all my viewpoints are out there for you to see already. What we need to do from here on out is to concentrate on local elections. We need to cut spending locally, we need to lower taxes, cut city regulations, we need to (dare I say it) stimulate our local economies from the bottom up. Forget President Obama, the heck with him, the heck with the democrats and even the corrupt republicans. Concentrate on local issues, and get your own personal finances in order.

Presidents don’t create jobs, the federal government is not all powerful, even if it claims to be. Are you going to let a bunch of looters take your guns? Take your rights? Take your voice? Hell no! Speak up, speak out, write blogs, express your viewpoints. Be proactive. Get out there and do something. Heck run for office yourself if you have the time and sense to do it.

Yes, OK, Obama is back in, but so what? America has not ended. It only ends if you end it, if you give up, if you give in. Who cares about the left vs the right? Concentrate on your own affairs, and work with like minded people at the local level.

Everything will be alright in the end if we learn to set aside our differences and work together in a constructive manner to build the future.

I might have said I told you so, but at least we can all learn from the last year and build from there. The future is ours for the building, and no Barack Obama or Mitt Romney is going to stop us!

Quiz time!

I recently took this quiz about who I am most sided with for president:

My results were a little surprising; I was 91% libertarian (which I expected to be high) 85% democratic (which I did not expect at all) 79% green, and 28% republican (which I expected to be a lot higher).

As for the president, my answers lined up 100% with Gary Johnson, 99% with Ron Paul, 87% with Virgil Goode, 41% with Mitt Romney, and 27% with Barack Obama.

The Revolution continues

The mainstream media claims that Mitt Romney has the GOP nomination, we are being told to pick between the lesser of two evils. Even the son of the greatest presidential candidate in history has flipped sides and decided to support the ‘presumptive nominee’ But the Revolution continues! You see, the Ron Paul Revolution is a philosophical one. It is the idea of self liberty and self determination. For much of the last one-hundred years the US population has been sidetracked into left vs right politicking, and has been left with the choice of ‘the lesser of two evils’.

I will not vote for Mitt Romney, I will not vote for him even with Rand Paul’s support. I will only vote for a man of principle, and that is Ron Paul. What is the point in voting for Obama-lite? Many of Obama’s policies and legislation are Romney inspired. Why would you go out and vote for another progressive? Why would you vote for a known flip-flopper? Why would you vote for another fraud, a snake in sheep’s clothing?

I’ve seen bumper stickers and comments that say that those who voted for Obama are idiots. Well, do you think that voting for McCain made you a saint? The John McCain who supported the bailouts, the wars of aggression in the middle east, and who co-wrote the NDAA act? Do you think that John McCain the progressive would have been much better than Obama the progressive?

All those on the left that say that those who voted for Bush (the counterfeit conservative) are idiots, do you really think that John Kerry would have been better, or Al Gore? Al Gore, the guy who sells the idea of Global Warming, and makes millions trading ‘carbon credits’.

Do you not see that the media steers you into choosing between ‘the lesser of two evils’ on a consistent basis?

When I went to the very first Tea Party in Cincinnati back in early 2009, I was impressed when a man made a speech about how he was tired of voting for ‘the lesser of two evils’. And now I see that the Tea Party, along with its supports such as Rand Paul and Glenn Beck, have abandoned their principles and are now supporting a progressive that is worse than George Bush!

Where are your principles?

Do you really think you’re going to make all that much difference when you throw your support behind a ‘chosen’ candidate who is firmly a part of the establishment? The same establishment that has given you all the rules and regulations, taxes, wars, and liberty stripping security that we now feel under the suffocating pillow of bloated government.

So I ask you, will you vote for another establishment candidate, or will you spread the word of Ron Paul? The word of liberty and the constitution. Or will you become another tool in the New World Order’s toolbox of useful idiots? Blindly believing that if you support their ‘chosen’ candidate, that you are somehow aiding the cause of freedom?

Don’t get swept up into the crowd, stand as an individual for liberty and spread the ideas of the consititution and of self worth. Don’t go along with the ‘mainstream’.

We still have time, and Ron Paul may well sweep the floor at the GOP convention in August in a similar way to how Ronald Reagan did in 1980. Soon the GOP and the democrats will realize that currently; neither have the young vote and that Ron Paul does. We want to live in a free and prosperous society, and we do not like the debt and burdens of slavery currently being handed to us.

The Ron Paul Revolution of liberty and restoring this country continues!

“An idea whose time has come cannot be stopped by any army or any government!” – Ron Paul
