Back again

So it's been quite awhile since I updated as you can see. I thought I would return with a thought on the 08 elections.

Who do I support?

I tell you who I would like to support.

Ron Paul. Former Libertarian Presidential candidate.

Yep, one of the closest representatives in D.C. to our founding fathers ideals. Dr. Paul is a Constitutionalist, if anything. Domestically, I pretty much agree with just about everything the man says, except for some past discrepancies that seem to paint him as a little racist. But other than that, the man is spot on.

However, sadly, I must withhold my support from Dr. Paul. He is absolutely correct in how we "should have" declared proper war with Iraq, if we were going to go in. At the same time, he is also dead wrong on Iraq not being a threat.

The man refuses to see the looming threat of Islamic extremism. He also seems almost anti-semite, the way he seems to side against Israel.

Therefore, I have to ask myself, "what is more important? Our liberty and constitutional rights at home, or our national security?".

I really do hate having to make this decision, for I am a true believer of "Those who would trade liberty for security deserve neither". However, I am truly certain that if we do not address this extremist threat today, we will face a world wide conflict worse than all the past wars ever combined. I believe the very existence of our nation depends on squashing this threat now.

So, reluctantly, I must concede, for now, to the ever increasing big government, and the socialism that is slowly eating away at our liberty's soul, and vote for someone that will continue to fight this battle we are currently in. Fred Thomson... Please run.
