@mtngirlsouth - You know for a while I thought about just not voting ever again because the Republican party has gotten away from their traditional platform, but my grandparents talked me back into voting.  What they said was that we aren’t voting FOR Romney we are voting against Obama.  If you vote for anyone other than Romney or simply don’t vote at all the you’re giving Obama a vote, because no one on that side is going to not vote because Obama isn’t 100% of what they want.  Every Muslims and most every queer is going to get out and vote for Obama.  The queers don’t care that Muslims are voting for Obama, and the Muslims don’t care that the queers are, because at the end of the day his constituency is the constituency of darkness and decay.  There is a saying in India: Whether the leaf comes to the thorn or the thorn comes to the leaf, the is still pierced.  Think about it.

That being said, the way I see it is that we have the choice between socialism-lite, or heavy communism with extra mustard and mayo.  Which one is going to smother us more?

@cmdr_keen - If Obama was serious about cutting the deficit then he would cut spending.  He could start by cutting aid to countries like Pukistan, and Egypt.  The fact is he has done nothing but escalate spending, and raising the debt cieling is not a solution.  You don’t borrow your way out of debt.  He could also slash social spending, especially entitlement spending, but won’t.  Why?  Reasons are mentioned in my journal entry.

We are still in Iraq and Afghanistan.  I haven’t heard anything about Libya in a while, but we’ll see what happens there. 

Where do you get the idea that employment is under 8%?  Even the liberal media isn’t saying that, but you also have to keep in mind that the way those statistics are gathered sometimes also excludes people who have given up looking for work.

Under Mitt Romney things can begin to recover because more economic opportunities will exist.  Have you ever played any of the Sim City games?  You know what happens when you raise taxes in the games?  I do because I have played 3 of those games and experimented all around with tax rates.  When you raise the taxes you get some increased revenue for a short time, but then it drops off and pretty soon you end up losing revenue and going into deficit spending just to keep your city running.  So there is a limit to how much you can raise taxes before you end up with diminishing returns.  Why?  Because businesses shut down and people leave.  Of course under Barack Osama’s plans probably many of the big corporations which you guys hate will still survive, but many of the small businesses are going to bite the dust.  I work for a small business.  What do you think I will do if my boss goes out of business?  Nothing. I will be jacked, becuase there will be nothing here for me.  I will have to go overseas for work (as I told two other people).  So I will go overseas and stay there for as long as necessary, and if I can’t get work back in the US then I’m also not going to retire to the US, which means the US government will get no tax revenue from me.  It also means that they will get no tax revenue from my boss, or his business.  So that’s less revenue for them, and that’s just one example.  Of course, if they put us out of business then the fact that they will lose revenue across the board and eventually collapse will cause me to shed about as many tears as Chuck Norris. 

So what I’m saying is, under Romney the tax cuts will pay for themselves, because more people will be entering the work force.  Under Obama, there will be tax hikes AND increased spending.  This man is a mad spender, and so is his party, and most of the stuff they spend money on is either detrimental or useless. 

I don’t understand how anyone who has a non-government sector job could want Barack Osama to win.  One way it’s about ideology, because I despise Islam, homosexuality, the UN/world government, anti-semitism, and entitlement/dependence minded people.  On the other hand it’s about survival, because I don’t want to lose my job.  I had some job offers for work overseas but passed them up because my family is all here, and I want to settle down and have kids in a good strong family setting.  But if Obama wins, then maybe my boss will go out of business, which means I’m out of a job.  If I’m out of a job then I will blame Obama and his zombie like supporters, and my anger towards them will be great.  If that happens, I’m overseas, and I’ll make 100% the government doesn’t get a single cent of my money because I got driven out of my own country by them. 

As for my contempt for welfare, I think I outlined my reasons pretty well. I don’t like being held back by lazy people, and I can’t feel sorry for them as long as they are wilfully being parasites on hard working people.  It’s one thing to ask for help from family, friends, charitees, and churches, or to humbly accept help from voluntary givers. It’s entirely another thing to demand it from government, and in the meantime be a parasitic burden on society. Those people I cannot stand, and the fact that the Democrats want to raise taxes on my employer (and others) so that they can increase the amount of people on welfare in order to buy votes just makes me despise them as well. I also consider the Democrats to be parasites, and to me they are about as good and useful for society as bot flies.

@CuddlyKat - Thanks, I will!

@mtngirlsouth - Well what’s your plan then?  I’m open to suggestions and ideas.  Also I have no problem with the idea of secession.

@VampireOfSeduction - Well one thing is that the culture has undergone some drastic changes over the course of US history, and has gotten away from the traditional values which made us strong and stable in the past.  Values and beliefs have a lot to do with how people act, without good values in place you just have bare human nature, which is intrinsically selfish even to the detriment of others.

I seriously hope Obama does not win, and I’m praying that he doesn’t, but I definitely believe his changes of winning are good for the reasons you have given, and for the reasons I have given in this entry.

I think that FDR and LBJ did a lot to steer the Democrats toward socialism, but the hardcore ideological gap which we have today is relatively recent.  Most of that garbage happened in my lifetime.  Compare Clinton to Obama.  Clinton wasn’t good, but the difference between him and Bush was not so vast and gaping as what we have now. 

I may be somewhat paranoid, although definitely not Alex Jones level paranoid, but if I have any paranoia it is strictly on a personal level, out of legitimate concern that my employer might go under.  We already lost a lot of business because of policies put in place by the Obungle administration.  Since I’m going to be getting married soon I want to make sure my job survives, and that I don’t have to be in the place where I’m unemployed and looking for work again.  But I think when it comes to issues that are bigger than me I prefer to identify as a cynic rather than paranoid, or as a realist.  I don’t believe that people have a natural tendency to “do the right thing” or a natural tendency toward altruism.

I have to say, for someone so young you have a lot of sense and maturity.  If you hadn’t said you were born in 1990 I never would have guessed you were so much younger than me.  You seem to have a really firm grasp on the issues.

@VampireOfSeduction - I hate it when that happens. 

You know I believe you 100%.  I worked in a grocery store as a cashier when I was in my teens.  I had to help so many women on welfare and WIC.  With one exception they were all fat, usually grossly obese with elephant looking legs.  They would have one little hand basket with the food items they were eligible for with WIC, and then a huge basket full of other stuff.  Only one of those women was thin.  Out of all the foodstamp people they were all fat except for this one family of Eastern European immigrants.  Now, I would like to point out that if you’re fat you’re no starving.  They are fat because they’re irresponsible, which is also probably why they are poor, and getting pregnant while poor.  But as for the immigrants, I was only 17 or 18 at the time, but I was thinking it was weird that they were on foodstamps.  Why are we letting immigrants suck on the government tit?  I don’t care where they come from or what race they are, if they aren’t going to contribute anything when they get here, and if they are going to be a drain on the system then they should not be allowed in.  Immigration and welfare are both in serious need of reform.  No immigrant should be eligible for welfare or any kind of government handout, ever. We don’t need anyone coming here who just wants to freeload.  A new policy like that would also deincentivise a lot of immigration.

I think we should sterilize anyone who is on welfare, male or female.  IF they don’t want to be sterilized then they can get off welfare and carry their own load.  Not having kids before 25 is nothing.  My wife probably won’t have any kids before 35.  I would like to have had kids at a younger age, but for the last 5 years I wasn’t doing well enough to get married or support a family.  After I get married I’m still probably going to wait for her to have some stable work before we start cranking out the kids.  Yes it’s less than ideal, but it’s called sanity and personal responsibility.  If you can’t afford kids then don’t have them. You know, I’m 31 and I have never gotten anyone pregnant (actually I never had sex, but still), and I’m only just now getting married.  That’s not fair to the chidren, or to everyone else who you are stealing money from to pay for your foolishness (by “you” I mean a general you not you personally, I know you’re doing things right). 

@VampireOfSeduction - Hey sorry about the delayed response.  Yea I have seen a lot of welfare people, so it looks like we’re in complete agreement.  A lot of them are just fat and lazy, and they think the world is responsible for them.  Everyone is responsible for them but them.  That is why, try as hard as I may, I can never feel sorry for those people.  I also had the privilege of going to a few different countries, and one of them was India.  If you want to see what poverty is you need only go to India.  Our poor people live like kings compared with how their poor people live.  Over in India having a refrigerator is a sign of wealth.  Most of the middle class people there still do laundry by hand.  How many poor people here have to do that?  The poor in India are not fat, and they don’t have running water, and they don’t get free food or money.  What they have is their clothes and a mud hut, and the only reason they have a mud hut is because they literally build it themselves, and they don’t really own the land they build it on.  India has a huge problem with squatters, but the government seldom enforces the law on that.

Well I know that Mexicans will do that, but these people were some kind of Eastern Europeans, so chances are they were actual immigrants and not anchor babies that grew up in a bario raised by La Raza.  Anyways, you didn’t know what you were accepting so there was no shame in it, and you aren’t on it anymore, which counts for something.

So how did your husband get hurt?  You know the way it used to be was that people in the community took care of the needy.  You had charitees, churches, and family to help out.  This whole idea that we need government to help has only caused the amount of poor to grow, and it has weakened the traditional support base for the needy.  We need to get back to the good old days of personal responsibility and helping the needy voluntarily.

Or kicking them off when they have kids also works.  I would be fine with kicking them off or with sterilization.
