Time to Tune out the Noise

It's time to tune out all the noise from the media and every other outlet and just prepare to get out and vote tomorrow. The polls where I live open at 6am and I plan on being one of the first people there. And I'm not a morning person, and I don't have to get up otherwise before nine or ten if I don't want to. I've been waiting for this day for a year and a half now. I don't have a Senate election here in my state, but just like the rest of you in the country, I have a House race and many other state and local races that need to be voted on. Tomorrow is bigger than the Super Bowl, World Series and any other event you can think of combined. Because it affects our lives in a very real manner. Our freedoms and our bank accounts are at stake here.

So tune out the noise whether one report says the Republicans are going to win a large majority, or the Democrats are making last minute charges. The media, just like anyone else, have their own agenda and they'll report accordingly using whatever spin they can muster in an attempt to get you to do what's in their best interest, instead of what's in your best interest. That worked in 2006 and 2008, but it's not working this year. The people are now awake and seeing what the media's anointed ones have done, and will continue to do to, this country if allowed to.

Let's not even make this close where there will be endless legal challenges and where fraud can determine the outcome. Make it a landslide. Get out and vote.
You vote does count.

Barbarians at the Gate

Rome didn't fall overnight. It wasn't invaded and burned by a superior invading force. It rotted from the inside, which infected every institution in the empire, ultimately including the military. At first just the frontiers became indefensible because of the corruption, but every year the outside attackers came further and further into the former safe lands of the empire, finally burning Rome itself, leading to the abandonment of the entire western portion of the empire to the dark ages.

Many allusions to Rome and its fall have been drawn to the current state of the United States and all its troubles. If you haven't guessed by now, I am drawing yet another one. Mexican assassins in our country. First targeting criminals, but they won't stop there. Remember Colombia in the 80s and 90s. Look at Mexico now. That's where we are headed unless we do something about this and stop the federal government's fiddling while the border remains porous.

I think it's safe to call Mexican drug lord assassins "barbarians". The southwest is burning, and the rot is deeper in our nation, people. The question is do we have the resolve to attempt to excise this rot and reset our feet upon the firm footing of our Constitution? November 2 is just the beginning of this process. The Mike Castles and Lisa Murkowskis need to be Primaried out of the races each cycle for years to come, so when November rolls every year there's a clear choice between two candidates, with one of them being for liberty, private property, and the Constitution, and the other being for everything that goes against what made this country great.

Say it: INDEPENDENCE Day

On this Independence Day I not only celebrate the birthday of the greatest nation ever to grace this earth, but also the idea of individual independence from excessive government control and intrusion into private life. And I renew my resolve to fight back against things like the federal government dictating to me what specific health insurance I must buy. For it's not just about fireworks and the nation's founding, it's about the founding principles and freedoms as well.

Happy Independence Day everyone!
