The Libertarian Snakebite Kit - Day

7:51PM - Bush Voters as Belly Crawling Cowards

There's a great article on Defeating the Republican Police State Mandate by Sergei Borglum Hoff. In the following quotes, substitute "Bush voter" for "Republicans", because it's my opinion that a large number of non-Republicans have the same warped notions that Republicans have.

Tragically for this nation and probably the entire world, the President was certainly not reelected because of confidence. Alas, confidence—unrecognizable in Republicans today—was not the governing factor in his reelection. The observable causes of his victory were 'Party' loyalty, widespread renunciation of our founding principles, fear of personal responsibility and the potential hazards of liberty, and a willingness to be oppressed by one who they perceive as their own [Christian?].

However, a few Republicans did provide reasons for their votes. The reasons given were the defense of Second Amendment rights and the restoration of family values. While others reasoned that George Bush is less evil than John Kerry.

Later he goes on to state:

...let the Republicans contemplate what they have sacrificed for their ill-fated victory. Instead of patriotically considering the elections as a means to return liberty, honor, integrity, and justice to our nation, they irresponsibly and immorally wasted their votes. Indeed, the Republicans handed George Bush what he has been striving for from the beginning; perpetual warfare and a police state mandate. The Republican Party has become the vanguard of degenerative Socialism, and further provided safe harbor for a tyrant.

The Republicans have forgotten that while adopting the fundamentals for the creation of this nation, the Founding Fathers did not guarantee our education, health, prosperity, retirement, comfort, or personal safety. Wisely, as the predominant founding principle they instead guaranteed our liberty, which holds far greater potentials for the dignity and advancement of mankind.

Out of ignorance, 'Party' loyalty, or fear, the Republicans are willing to submit, and give George Bush more control over their personal and professional lives. Bread, along with the well-deserved performing end of a circus will be their only rewards for submission. Will it really make any difference to these 'Party' loyalist whether their freedoms have been stolen by Communists, the United Nations, Democrats, or a fellow Republican?

Defeating the Republican police state mandate will require courage and confidence in the founding principles of our nation.
