Apologies
To the world, I apologize, for we have let you down.
It now looks like the usurper to the throne may appear to finally have
legitimacy. The only answer I can come up with to explain this is
that my fellow countrymen are scared, and Bushco has played upon those
fears and insecurities well.
When the vice-president of the United States runs around and says
"we're all going to die if John Kerry is elected president" I think it has
increased the sense of fear that the people feel.
And, although I am hesitent to make public accusations, I'm not
entirely positive the Diebold election machines in Florida reported an
accurate ballot count. I've already heard stories from people in
South Florida who said they saw ballots being invalidated for being
"incomplete." If that's true, then those votes were discarded contrary to
Florida law. I'm not sure that I'm willing to shout that the thing
was rigged just yet...
Where do we go from here?
I don't know.
Obviously, the Democratic Party has failed in two elections, 2002 and
today. Being a libertarian, I'm OK with that. However, I feel that
there is a large group of people within both the Republican and
Democrat parties that neither group truly represents. I'm talking about
the moderate, fiscally conservative, secular, anti-nation building,
population.
I'm sure there are people that feel the Democrat party is too liberal,
too disorganized, and doesn't accurately represent them. There are
probably a large number of people in the Republican party that feel
their party is allying itself too closely with the religious right;
they might be fiscally conservative, but also against nation building
and theocratic mandates in government.
Perhaps it's time to form a third party, one that reaches out to the
Clinton democrats and the Reagan republicans?
And if not, there's always Canada...
