We Should Have Elected Ron Paul, i.e. Enough Agenda Voting

I find it rather comforting that this election had brought forth a Presidential candidate who actually upholds the Constitution. Like Ron Paul himself stated, the Constitution is not perfect, as nothing made by man can be, but the constitution of the United States of America, as created and imagined by the founding fathers, is one of the greatest contracts of government ever to be written to preserve and protect human liberty. But at the core of the constitution, and indeed its reason for ever being written, is the idea that all people are free and should be free and that government's sole purpose is to keep that happening. Yes, that's very small government. The problem is, our government does not want to be small and it will fight tooth and nail to remain large and in charge. We have a government that controls the people when we need a government run by and working for the people. Unfortunately, seeing the direction of this campaign, the people themselves aren't ready to be free.

Ron Paul said, "I don't want to be President to rule your lives, I want to be President to protect liberty." As much as that resembles the attitude of a pretty decent President named Thomas Jefferson, it's not what we want. Why don't we want to be free? Why are we voting for these people with agendas and revenges that say, "The government should do this!" or, "The government should help us with that!" when what we really need is to tell the government to get away and let the people help themselves. Why can we not, as independent Americans, quit crying like babies to force ourselves into complete dependency and submission to government?

That's the philosophy of election that stands today. I call it Agenda Voting. We believe that the President to be elected is the one who will force government to do the most things for us that we want done without any dream of being self-sufficient. The more we tell the government to do for us, the more dependent we become on it. The more dependent we become on it, the closer it comes to controlling our lives. As much as we don't want to admit it, the American government is moving further from liberty and closer to totalitarianism and dictatorship. But, hey, it's what we wanted, right? It has to be since, in the American system, such a thing could not have happened without our consent. The truth is, we are at the twilight of a very long night, and while our previous accomplishments may stand as great electronic machines of power to uphold our civilization and radiate false light, no energy is perpetual, and soon it will run out and America will plunge into the darkness that, as we will find, we have been sitting amongst unaware for so long. Wake up, why don't you?

On a lighter note, I am hopeful for America in that we have even allowed a candidate like Ron Paul to have such a good fighting chance. It shows that "We the people" are finally starting to get ready to "secure the Blessings of Liberty" that we never should have let slip away. While Ron Paul will not be president this time around, the fact that he got so far with the people is a little shimmer of hope. But if we want freedom, if we are to establish liberty, and if we really want to bring back the constitution, we need to quit with our Agenda Voting and start electing presidents on the sole basis of whether or not they will best "lay low" and keep America free for all. You think you're all comfortable here, and you'd rather just lay nice and cozy. You lie to yourself. There are hundreds of possibilities and freedoms you can enjoy that we simply just don't know exist. Is your money your own? Don't you ever feel that the government treats you like you're simply working to give it money, and in return it lets you keep a little? You may feel this because it's happening. This and many other unsavory things.

Well, let's hope we'll get it right by the next election or two. Or better yet, get it right now! Why rely on a president? We are the people. We are the government. What we say must go. Let's take back our land (which we don't even own any more) and make this our own country once again.

Now that I'm done with my Braveheart speech, you should go check out this video and many of the others on You-Tube of Ron Paul and, though you can't vote for him, gosh darn, you should listen to him.
