Down the stretch, just a few days before the presidential election, every day seems to reach a new level of mud-slinging, name calling, finger pointing, story telling, digger O’Dell politics. Every one, every thing and every place has been labeled and relabeled.
There are red states and blue states, battleground states and toss-up states. There are registered and non-registered voters, liberals and conservatives, religious right and religious left, blue collar and white collar voters, and non-committed and undecided voters. The labeling goes on and on infinitum.
Who isn’t sick and tired of being sick and tired of all the labeling, name calling and mud-slinging taking place around the clock?
We are supposed to be the most advanced society in the world. But are we the most civilized to tolerate all of the negatives we are bombarded with? Let’s face it and get right down to the nitty gritty of the actual categories we are all in.
There are actually just two kinds of voters. Those who are looking for a free hand-out from the government and those who do not want the hand-out taken from them. There are users and losers, producers and non-producers, haves and have-nots, and makers and takers. Any way you swing it, there are just two kinds.
It just came on the news that McCain has lost his brand name of a “maverick.” Who cares who loses their labels? I think it’s a shame the American people have tolerated so much name calling and labeling by the politicians and the news media. I think it’s unmitigated gall for some to presume they have a special privilege of labeling everyone else.
Aside from two kinds of voters, there are two kinds of people—those who are pro individual freedom and those who want some brand of socialism but reject being labeled a socialist.
As for myself, I label myself a Freedom-loving American who supports 100% individual ownership property rights. No more and no less than just that. I clearly understand that which constitutes Freedom and ownership of property and no amount of name calling, double talk and double think mouthing in any way, shape, form or fashion causes me to waver from the position I hold onto dearly and firmly. I steadfastly hold on to that which I believe is a Right, granted by a Creator and not by a government grant.
I believe there is a fundamental harmony in the voluntary exchange of goods and services provided by the free enterprise system. I believe the ownership of private property is essential to our very survival and without it, we are reduced to a condition of slavery and involuntary servitude to a centralized political government—a fictitious, manmade institution where one person thinks he is entitled to live his life at the expense of another, recently expressed by one presidential candidate when he articulated his aim of “spreading the wealth.”
The laws of the universe and the statements of the great moral guides like the Ten Commandments and The Declaration of Independence teach us what is moral and what is immoral.
When a political government becomes the instrument of manmade laws contrary to those universal laws granted by our creator, and we permit that to take place, we can no longer claim to be a civilized people, but a dog eat dog, uncivilized society.
One of the basic problems we face in the current crisis is our inability to distinguish between universal law and manmade laws. And manmade laws always run counter to universal law or commensurate with it, hence illegal or unnecessary to begin with. All of our God-given Rights are superior to manmade laws, which are gifts we inherited by virtue of the fact that we exist. And precede all manmade legislation.
Therefore, all we are subjected to by the elected politicians, like the arbitrary taking of our property and restriction of our individual Freedom, is in violation of natural or universal law.
Let Freedom Ring!
JUST ME,
AC

TOO RIGHT, Anne! That’s hilarious about some politician losing his “maverick” status – an actual maverick would mind his own business and would not be able to politick at all!
