Only two choices:
The red pill.
Or the blue pill.
You chose one of the two!
It is funny how a certain demographic is often chided for being on the Democrat Plantation. How the inevitable promises are made to the members of that group, and how those promises generally fail to be fulfilled unless they are done so in the most destructive way possible. No matter how dissatisfied, short of rioting in the streets, the Democrats do what they will, knowing that they will have the votes of that demographic, regardless. The assumption is even that another demographic, perhaps a couple of them will also end up on that same Democrat Plantation, primarily because they have been convinced no one else can meet the 'unique' needs of their community, and that only the Democrats will hear their voice.
Interesting, too, that all these years as Republican candidates continue to pay lip service to Conservative causes, the stance and actions of the Republican party continues to morph leftward, not back toward the Constitutional Republic the Republicans pay lip service to (usually, at least until election night is over). Those within the GOP who actually do champion Conservative causes end up vilified, for not going along to get along. These last four years, with rare exception, there was only token resistance to Obama's policies, and almost no resistance to fully funding his programs. Instead of exercising the power of the purse, the GOP couldn't shove our, our children's, our Grand children's, our Great grandchildren's money out the door fast enough to support the follies of this administration.
For the last few decades, the GOP has decided it has a right to the votes of those Conservative voters it throws under the bus because they (allegedly) have no place else to go. Conservatives have reluctantly bought that nonsense, lined up and pulled the lever for the "R", because if they don't, OMG! the Democrats will give away the farm! Even as the Republicans were.
If Conservatives even get so much as a little token lip service, they witness again as their rights are diminished, no matter who is in charge. Control of the Congress has meant little resistance from the Party as a whole, and only a few have fought for Conservative causes there, and are savaged by party leadership for their efforts. Most have readily caved in to the liberal policies of Obama.
At least the Democrat Party gives free stuff to their 'captive' voters, giving the illusion of being a benefactor. The GOP continues to take away from conservatives in theirs. Neither party does those groups any good, at best tossing scraps and bones from the table they feast at, while they get truly wealthy at the expense of our blood and treasure.
It's funny we so readily see the Democrat Plantation, but have refused to see the GOP Plantation.
If we're going to get our Constitutional Republic back, it has become obvious that neither the Democrat Party not the Republican Party will sanction that goal. Both engage in the accumulation and usurpation of power, strengthening a central and increasingly totalitarian government at the expense of the Rights of the States and the People.
You are free, once again, with another candidate more liberal than the last, to attempt to salvage the Republic by voting for that one over the other Liberal candidate who is another is an endless progression of boogeymen, each a little worse than the last, to get you to vote for the one who is just a little bit lesser evil. I do not see that achieving the objective if the objective is a return to a Constitutional Republic, I just see it as yet another step in the wrong direction.
If you feel bound to give your vote to that in an effort to stop the one who would take you in that wrong direction a little faster, well, it's your vote, your conscience.
I don't think pulling that same lever, hitting that same button will produce a different result than it has in these past 28 years, at least not the result I have been voting for. It is past time to cut those philosophical chains which have bound me to the GOP and voting for lesser evils. If not now, when? The next election? There are even worse Marxist boogeymen to throw up to encourage voters to vote for the lesser evil, by which time we will have lost more rights.
If I am to lose those rights through the machinations of the major parties' leadership, it will happen without my sanction. I will at least spend the rest of my days advocating for another choice, for freedom from either Plantation, and for a return to our Constitutional Republic.
It will take time, it will take work, and it will not be something which will bring the heady instantaneous gratification of winning major elections in the next 4, 8, even 12 years, but the steps to freedom are first to cut the chains and get off the plantation, and that applies, no matter which plantation you've been on.
