Would I vote for Hillary…No, Hell No - Part 2
Technorati Tags: Ben Franklin, Civil War, dictatorship, election, freedom, rights, voting, Wiccan ReedAs for voting, I registered yesterday, at least sent in my registration. I think that I will just put myself down for president. This way I have voted, and in what some people see, give me the right to bitch. I don’t have to vote for any primary or secondary. I could even vote for you.
If US Americans decided to take up arms against the government, they would be meet with a military force. Do you think that for one instance the people in power would give it up? I don’t. Almost 100 years after the Declaration of Independence was signed, we had a civil war. That war was a blood bath, how do you think it would turn out now? You have citizens with riffles and the government with technology.
The dictators, yes that is what they are in my opinion, rule this country by fear. I don’t car if they call the figure head “The President” or not. I’m talking about all 3 branches of the government as one dictatorship, not just one person.
I know I could move. I know if I don’t like something here I can either voice my opinion, which is what I am doing (one freedom they are starting to take away). I can vote for a puppet to be placed in front of the world. I have all of those choices. The fact remains at any given point in time the government can take it all away from you and me. They can take your land, your house, and any other positions that you have worked hard for, without giving you a reason. Unless you consider someone with fat pockets and wants to build a shopping mall on your land a good enough reason.
So do me a favor and back off. You like being controlled, I don’t. You don’t mind if you have to give up everything and start over for a mall, I do.
Ben Franklin once said, “They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.”
I for one am tired of them controlling my life. The last part of the Wiccan Reed says this:
These Eight words the Rede fulfill:
“An Ye Harm None, Do What Ye Will”
To me, related to the government, I don’t need someone to tell me to wear a seatbelt. It is my life and I am in control over it. I believe that I will die because of a seat belt one day, and because there are laws that say I have to wear one I am being controlled. Will me not wearing a seat belt harm anyone but me in an auto crash? No it will not. If I am dead, people will be sorrowful, but they have had to physical harm done to them, and I don’t consider sorrow a mental harm as either.
If I want to smoke pot, while my next door neighbor drinks a six pack, you tell me what the difference is? We didn’t get behind the wheel of a car and drive, but we are both relaxed after work. That is just one example of deception that the government and media has plauged us with, and that is another topic for another day.
If you don’t feel that your freedoms are at stake, and you think that by simple voting that something will change the way the state of the current government, then you are sadly mistaken. Live in your dream world, and continue in the delusions by the picture of the world that they want you to see. Do not ever tell me that I don’t have a right to say something. Speech is a freedom that was not granted by a government, you were born with that right, and as seen in history the government can and will take it away when they feel like it.

I am only going to touch on one part of this just to be clear on my opinion. I feel you are granted the right to freedom of speech, but not by your government. It was granted to you by you peers, which was made up of common men. Our better put, made up of our fathers, fathers. If you think for even 1 second that your right to free speech was a birth right, then I would suggest you test that right. Next time you drive through a bad part of town, start saying off the wall shit. Is your freedom a birth right then? When you can be killed in this world for saying anything agnist someone god, is it your birth right then? I think the freedom of speech is the most taken for granted right that our leaders made up of farmers gave us. With that right you can go anywhere in the country and say anything you want to anyone, and nothing can be done to you by your government. That right isn’t offered everywhere, or by everyone. So before you say it was a birth right think about what would happen if you tried to use that right in the wrong place at the wrong time. I hear it hurts to have your tounge cut out for mocking Allah in Iran.

@ Kevin
You wait one damn minute. Just because you are born a slave doesn’t mean that your birth right, or basic freedom should not be granted to you. Speaking an opinion is one thing, causing someone harm with your words is quite another. you have to draw that line. Will what I say be an opinion, or will it cause harm.
If a called a black man a nigger, then that is wrong. If I spoken an opinion about how I think that they should still be slaves that is quite another. I don’t think that they should be in-slaved. Back to the topic. Just because you get a reaction to what you say that you do not like, ie getting your ass kicked, doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t have that right, to voice your opinion.
People are so sensitive today. Please don’t say that the Irish are alcoholics, and please make sure you call the black man in America African-American, even though he has never been to Africa.
Do you understand that much. It doesn’t matter the persecution that you would face for executing that right. That doesn’t make it any less of a right. Our for fathers didn’t grant us a right to speak, they made it to where the government can’t cut your tongue out for speaking your mind. They took a right away from the government, not granted it to the people, because it already belonged to the people.

Fair enough point that “took a right away from the government, not granted it to the people, because it already belonged to the people.”. I can agree with you in that context. But that lack of government right is not offered everywhere in the world. Not everywhere are you protected for speaking an opinion.

Again just because it is not offered at present time doesn’t mean that it wasn’t offered in a previous time and taken away by a ruling power. More than likely it was taken away because a ruling power didn’t like what someone said, they just passed a law that said that no one can peak their mind about the King or Queen, they are not to question. That doesn’t mean they it is not a birth right, it just means that the government doesn’t allow you to act on that right.

Writing yourself in is just as pointless as not voting. ANY VOTE not for the leading opposition is a vote for the leader in the other party, no matter if you vote Libertarian, Green Party or what. Look at what happened to Bush1 in 94. He lost the vote because the conservative vote was split between him and perot.
The best way to ensure that clinton is not elected is to a) vote for a different democrat in the primary (georgia is cool because you can vote in either party’s primary. despite the fact that I’m a registered republican, I vote in the democratic primary for the underdog) and back the leading opposition candidate in the general election.
By the way, have you checked out Huckabee??
