New Article/Voting

Voting
By Andrew

In good consciousness, I cannot support the concept of the 'right' to vote. By voting, one instills authoritarian power in the hands of the few, when the power belongs to the individual. Voting is nothing more then an authoritarian
policy. By allowing this policy to take root, libertarian ideals can
never blossom. In a sense, voting in this democratic-republic, that
we call the United States of America, takes away our natural rights.

Voting acknowledges government power. By acknowledging this power, more and more power is given to the government, rather then the individual. If in the next election for president, not a single vote was cast, this democratic republic would cease to function as is. Yet nothing would actually change. The
authoritarian powers would only have to find another way to justify
their power, which is what they would do. Examples of this can be
seen in parts of Africa and pre-invasion Iraq. By this logic, the
democratic-republic's system is inherently flawed at best. This
system actually gives no power to the masses by 'giving' them the
right to vote, only the illusion of power.

I am not apathetic to voting. I actually care a great deal about voting. So much so, that I refuse to vote. The idea of voting is nothing but a dangerous tool created by
authoritarian powers to cement their power.
By refusing the vote, I have cast my
vote to where the power belongs...

This Isn't American Behavior...

I would just like to throw a big thanks out to all the THOUSANDS of people who attended any of the Tea Party protests this week. I'd also like to apologize for not posting in a while. Haven't gotten around to Issue 2, printer problems.

What is the one thing you can say about the political left? They love to protest. So what's the problem here? What's not American here? The fact that the Liberal public in our country is actually outraged that we free American men and women for once in a long time are actually using our voices to protest injustice. I've spoken of dissent before, I'm a fan, it's necessary, it keeps our government accountable.

This is baffling to me. How those crazy bastards on the far left side of the board can hypocritically say that we [conservatives] are un-American for protesting some we think is unfair, something we think is unjust. Well, we must be doing something right. We're putting a ruffle in their feathers. I am proud of the reactions of the left, they say we are un-American, we are un-Patriotic. Because non-Hollywood men and women, those of us who have real jobs, are finding our voices they are getting pissed.

What does this behavior prove?
This behavior is, to me at least, a brief preview of the country to be if we Right-Protesters quit doing what we're doing. We must continue, we must rise up, and we must yell at the top of our lungs: "Do Not Tread On Me."
