Say... what's your favorite color: mauve, chartreuse, or beige?
After all, those are the only possible "legitimate" answers to the
question. Why? Because I said so, that's why.
Sound reasonable?
Well, if two years ago, you asked everyone in the country who they
wished would be President, and if it could be anyone they wanted,
how many people do you think would have said "Mike Huckabee?"
Approximately none.
How about Mitt Romney?
About zero.
Or Fred Thompson?
Pretty much no one.
Ron Paul?
A puny percentage, no doubt, but probably several thousand
at least. And possibly more than the other three combined.
So where did those supposed "choices" come from?
With the exception of Ron Paul, the choices sure the hell
didn't come from popular demand.
So... how did these options just magically appear out of
nowhere? It was, of course, the collectivist ruling class that
told the people who the "choices" would be. Basically, the
royal family trotted out a few of their power-happy offspring,
and said we could choose which one would be oppressing
us for the next few years.
BTW... the fact that the ruling "family" in our country is linked by an
insider's political club, instead of by blood, only makes it worse.
After all, it's possible for a king to accidentally have a kid who
isn't evil. But you won't ever catch a political establishment
accidentally appointing anyone to a position of power who actually
likes freedom.
So... a club of collectivist control freaks will let you "choose"
which one of their approved collectivist control freaks will have
his jackboot on your neck for the next four years.
And we're supposed to feel empowered because of that?
Puleese!
At this point, the Tyrants-R-Us brigade in DC, and their propagandists
in the mainstream media, aren't even trying very hard to hide the truth of
just how "democratic" our insane system has become.
Take, for example, the decision by Fox "News" to exclude Ron Paul
from the Republican primary presidential debate in New Hampshire:
The all-knowing Fox "News," in its wisdom, declared Rudy Giuliani
the leader in the race. In Iowa, Giuliani came in sixth, at about 3%.
Ron Paul more than tripled that, with just over 10%.
Nonetheless, the Fox News bigwigs, having just demonstrated
their less-than-stellar powers of prediction, decided that Ron Paul
is not a "legitimate" candidate, and so he wouldn't be included in
the debate in New Hampshire.
There are two possibilities here:
1) Fox "News" is just unbelievably bad at predicting elections, or
2) Fox "News" is not discovering and reporting what the people want,
but is reporting what Fox "News" wants the people to want.
Either way, letting morons or liars decide who should be in the debates
is absolutely ridiculous. In fact, it's so ridiculous that even the New
Hampshire Republican party removed its sponsorship of the debate
because of the exclusion of Ron Paul. (Though I wouldn't be surprised
if the party did this not out of principle, but because it wanted to stop the
avalanche of angry letters it was getting for being part of the political
censorship agenda.)
Even on the comments on Fox's web site, most of the anti-Paul
comments were based entirely on the argument, "He can't possibly
win."
How do people think they can possibly know such a thing? Because
the wildly inaccurate "polls" tell them so? You mean the same polls
that said that Giuliani was the frontrunner? And the polls that put Hillary
way ahead of the pack in the Democratic race?
After Ron Paul got three times the votes in Iowa that the supposed
"frontrunner" got, and Hillary came in third, why would anyone ever
base anything upon the polls ever again?
But what makes Fox "News" win the Orwellian award of the month,
is the fact that it's tightly controlled, substance-avoiding, all-collectivist
propaganda agenda is presented under the ridiculous banner of:
"You Decide 2008!"
And yet hundreds of thousands of sheeple suck up this nonsense harder
than crack whores suck on overdue fixes.
Amazing.
