Do you not understand that the buttons and levers that Bush and Ashcroft now push were put in place by Clinton and Reno before them, and by the elder Bush, Reagan, and even Carter, Ford, Nixon, LBJ, JFK and their attorney generals even earlier?
Do you not understand that the real Axis of Evil that we should be worried about is the Demo-GOP axis, the good-cop, bad-cop routine that alternately "shocks and awes" the population first this way, and then that, but always forward toward the goal of the rulers' boot on your neck?
Do you not realize that, if elections can provide any solution at all, it will only be because the people turn dramatically from the zigzag path, down which the Demo-GOP drovers stampede us? Can you not see that the only voter revolution that will really work involves voting for anyone but the Demo or Republican candidate on the one hand, and voting against all further taxes, no matter how well-intended they may seem, on the other?
Even if we'll never change the basic bullying, taxing nature of government, doesn't it make sense that we can slow it down a little by sending home the "political machine" players and putting third-party and independent candidates in office? Doesn't it make sense that government will generally do horrendous bad with the money we send it, long before it eventually, begrudgingly does even the tiniest bit of good? Can you appreciate the importance of choking off the government's food supply -- taxes -- as thoroughly and quickly as possible?
If you want to participate in a real VOTER REVOLUTION, then can I count on you to keep these points in mind when you step into the voting booth? Or will you just continue to buy into the lie, and congratulate yourself for striking a blow for change when, in reality, you will have done nothing more than endorse more of the same old, same old?
