Political Corruption Can Be Overcome
Does Democracy Equal Freedom?
I deplore dealing in negativity, but I am not Pollyanna and I know you must recognize a problem in order to address it with solution-oriented discourse and action. What my primary concerns are for our country are political corruption and mass complacency.
We were given the great opportunity to be self-governing, but over the years we have allowed a rash of greedy, power hungry individuals and organizations to chip away at our freedoms and our resolve. So many people do not even vote. Those who do, often either pull the lever for a strict party line, or they vote incidental issues of emotional hot spots.
Things that the government should have nothing to do with should not be party platform planks.
Radicalism is uncalled for, unless you want to be radical about preserving and regaining freedom from despotism. It seems there just are not enough fingers to point at each problem facing us.
That is why I will cast my vote for Ron Paul. Dr. Paul seems to know what America stands for and what America should once again be.
My favorite quote from Ron Paul to date is this: "It's important for us to remember, however, that words can be made meaningless by misuse or overuse. And when we as citizens allow politicians to obscure the truth by distorting words, we diminish ourselves and our nation."
Enjoy reading and thinking about the depth of understanding that he exhibits in the article entitled Democracy is not Equal to Freedom and other fine illuminating articles at this link:

Anyway, my point is, that as a patriot, I could never, in good conscience, vote for either the incumbent or for Gov. Romney, simply because I care too much about the present and future of the United States and all of us within her.
Ron Paul has integrity and knows what needs to be done and will do it. That is my stand on this issue.
Blessed Be
