Who to vote for?

This is a very long week for me. Instead of my normal four 12 hour days I'm working six 8 hour days. Woe is me ;-/

Anyway...

I was thinking about the presidential election and who could I vote for and not feel as though I was committing a sin by doing so. I have not yet made up my mind who to vote for, or even if I am going to bother casting a vote for president at all.

I have heard it said by some, Todd Wilken for one, that "Life" is the most important issue to consider in an election. I do agree with this assessment, however it does not help me much in deciding who to vote for.

I hold the total pro-life position, from conception to natural death. For me this includes children in Iraq who happen to have already been born as well as American babies who haven't yet been born. The trouble is there seems no candidate for president who wants them all alive. Obama thinks slaughtering millions of unborn babies is somehow a constitutional right, while McCain has no problem dropping high explosives on children from 30,000 feet and scattering their limbs across the landscape, calling it "collateral damage."

Usually I could vote Libertarian but they have picked Bob Barr who is nothing but a very conservative republican and lacks the principled stand on liberty that former Libertarian Party candidates like Ron Paul had, he's more of a pragmatist, which makes him no better than a Republican in my book.

So, I'm stuck with no one to vote for.

    I'm writing in Paul on the absentee. Just vote for whoever you really want, even if it's another person or third party, write in, whatever.

    I suppose I could do that as well, though it seems pretty pointless, honorable but pointless :-)

    I understand. To be honest, I can't stand McCain either, so it's not a big deal either way for me.

    Voting is pointless to be honest. This will be the last election I vote in.

    "Voting is pointless to be honest. This will be the last election I vote in."

    I say that every election and every election I decide it's my duty to at least go through the motions even if it is meaningless. This time I'm really torn and might skip the whole thing, the system is beyond broken, it's downright evil and participating seems to lend it my approval and I don't want to do that!

NBC anti-life?

I would boycott NBC, if I ever watched it that is. I actually never watch anything on the old line networks, NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX. Everything I watch is on the cable only stations... do they still broadcast over the air? Ah well, this story is about the fact that it seems NBC refused to air an ad put together by some Catholic outfit that features an embryo and all of the hardships it faced in early life ending up with the revelation that they were talking about Obama. Here is the ad , check it out and see how unoffensive it is. Like I said, if I watched them I'd quit now. :-/

Wikileaks and police state censorship

I saw an article today on SF Gate about some nit wit Bush appointed Federal Judge ordering a website I'd never heard of called Wikileaks shut down because they were publishing some bank documents from some corrupt Swiss bank. The amusing thing is that they can't actually do it! Even more amusing is that this just draws attention to the site and makes it that much more visible, yay idiot goons! :-) There are mirror sites all over the world and it's almost impossible for thuggish police state goons to figure out how to close off all of the leaks :-) One mirror site is here: http://wikileaks.be/wiki/Wikileaks The US site they tried to close down is still here: http://88.80.13.160 "Cowardice asks the question, 'Is it safe?' Expediency asks the question, 'Is it politic?' Vanity asks the question, 'Is it popular?' But, conscience asks the question, 'Is it right?' And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe,

Viva California! USA out of California Now!

Gene Veith points to a Russian who predicts the breakup the American Empire. Gene is somehow unaware of the dozens of secessionist movements in various states. Granted they are almost all small but still, they exist and this could be a good time for us. Those who know me already understand that I'm a California Nationalist who I doesn't think California should have joined those united States in the first place. Being a part of that empire just costs us money, we get nothing in return. These days we get to be hated by foreigners for being Americans and mocked by Americans for being Californians. Getting us out of the US yesterday would be a day too late as far as I'm concerned.
