Solution: Vote. In primaries. For people who will not compromise us closer to destruction. Vote for well-spoken men and women of character who understand the risks we face if we get it wrong at this late hour. Vote for people whose compassion is genuine, but whose resolve is unshakable. Vote for people who understand that we can’t fix it in a day, but that it must be fixed and that the process needs to begin a decade ago. Vote for candidates who know how close we are to losing the light of liberty in our lifetimes and will work hard to restore it, one liberty at a time if necessary, until We The People are once again sovereign.

Do not vote for the gladhander who will say what you want to hear until he has your vote. Do not vote for the loudmouth who does more to incite a crowd than to lead them. Do not vote for the dispassionate idealist because he cannot cope with reality. Do not vote for the fanatic for whom no barrier would be an impediment because We The People are supposed to be such a barrier.

And most importantly, do not vote for the incumbent just because you don’t think he’s done anything wrong. Now is the time to demand of our government that they prove they have earned the office we have given them. If they haven’t been doing our work, they need to get out. And there should be no sacred cows—even Ron Paul (a dispassionate idealist if ever there was one, Obama’s polar opposite) needs to fear that if he can’t pull his head out of his ass and take action to stop the destruction of our country, then he should be replaced by someone who will.

I really just want consistency

I don’t understand how you can cancel one event “because it might offend someone “

then goes out of their  way  to make a new holiday  that will guarantee to offend others..

        But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods or no God. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.

-Thomas Jefferson, Notes on Virginia, 1782

        Where the preamble declares, that coercion is a departure from the plan of the holy author of our religion, an amendment was proposed by inserting Jesus Christ, so that it would read A departure from the plan of Jesus Christ, the holy author of our religion; the insertion was rejected by the great majority, in proof that they meant to comprehend, within the mantle of its protection, the Jew and the Gentile, the Christian and Mohammedan, the Hindoo and Infidel of every denomination.

      -Thomas Jefferson, Autobiography, in reference to the Virginia Act for Religious Freedom

Question with boldness even the existence of a god; because if there be one he must approve of the homage of reason more than that of blindfolded fear.

-Thomas Jefferson, letter to Peter Carr, August 10, 1787
