Let the record state that the only one mentioning "fear" was Sam. I do not fear Obama, I mistrust Obama. I was intelligent and well informed enough to vote against Obama the first chance I got, and I shall be similarly gifted the second chance, and the history of Obama's Administration shows how right I was and am. We have Obamacare, voted in by a Congress that believes government-issue health care is health care -- or purports to; I don't bother. We have Stimulus et Sequelae: are we not still down two million jobs? Has not the entire national debt been quadrupled until somebody can get in to repudiate it before it gets spent? That's how you get inflation, you know: doesn't the debtor entity also print the money? If that is done, will not a larger number of dollars be pursuing an unchanged or even declining amount of goods and services? Isn't Best Buy closing a bunch of stores as we speak? Those are jobs gone a-glimmering. Foreign policy? Aheh-heh. We are lucky, these years: nobody who can attack us and accomplish more than a pinprick or a bit of sabotage really wants to.
Half the electorate wasn't as intelligent as I am. For one reason or another, it never is anyway. Saw some guy with a moron sticker on his back bumper the other day: Obama campaign logo and "I Still Believe." That yokel's out on the public roads...

I'll ask again. Are social issues utterly meaningless? Why should the public care more about Best Buy and the debt than the right to privacy, the right to equality under the law, the right to marry, the right to not have others' religious laws forced upon you?
Why do you claim to support freedom and libertarianism, and still manage to rationalize or justify your support of the party of Rick Santorum and Michelle Bachmann and Bob McDonnell and Jan Brewer?
