What is one supposed to do, to think, when the party you've belonged to no longer even pretends to represent you? I'm not just talking about the Republican Party apparatus - I'm talking about the so-called "rank-and-file" voters, my neighbors, my FRIENDS.
When I say I will never vote for The Fraud of Fifth Avenue, I actually mean it. I can no longer justify voting for the "lesser of two evils." Progressivism has so weakened the moral fiber of this nation and her people that many are voting just for sheer vengeance.
It doesn't matter to them that the Republican frontrunner supported Obama and Clinton. They no longer care about their supposedly conservative principles of smaller government, lower taxes, less regulation. They've proved it by voting for a small-minded "man" with a god-complex who stands for everything they stood against just a single year ago.
Have we fallen that far? Is it possible that patriotism has given way to hatefulness as a virtue? How could conservatism become so bastardized that we fail to see the progressive nature of a candidate who's ostensibly on "our" side? What has become of our party, our country, our fellow citizens?
I've lost several friends over this election cycle because I will not be silent about what I see, nor will I tolerate the trash coming from supposedly informed people. I don't have a problem with that in the slightest. I can only give people information; I can't make them think critically about it.
It shames me to know that the life of the United States of America hangs literally by a thread and I can do nothing about it. it terrifies me that my grandchildren will never know the type of freedom I enjoyed and I can't stop it from happening. It chills me to the bone that the party that once stood for freedom and equality for ALL stands poised to nominate a dictator-in-waiting and I can do NOTHING TO PREVENT IT.
Do freedom and liberty mean so little to Americans anymore that we have to elect another big government leftist, but one who poses as a capitalist? Are we so selfish that we would doom for all time our children and grandchildren? I pray that we're not, yet fear that we are. Too many are far more concerned with the here and now that they fail to consider the future and mark my words - that future will NOT be a bright or pretty one.
If there's a silver lining to all this - and I know I'm really stretching for this one - it's that I've come to realize that the rampant stupidity and blind "cult of personality" mindset is not limited solely to the demoKKKrats and liberals. It fully infects the Right as well.
A vote for anyone other than the only candidate who knows the Constitution - what it says, what it means, and how we need to get back on the path the Founders set out for us - is a conscious effort to drive a knife into the heart of America. I won't do it. I CAN'T do it, If that drives a wedge between us as friends, neighbors, countrymen - so be it. That's a cross I can I can bear.
I will not be party to the rape and murder of that which I hold most dear - the United States of America. I hope to God Himself that I'm wrong and I will be the first to admit it if it turns out to be so but after a lifetime of watching and following all things political, I seriously doubt that I am.
I no longer have a party, not because I have changed so much that I no longer fit in but because the party has changed so much that I no longer recognize it as my home. ~ Hunter
