Is this true?

During the presidential elections, I was a Bob Barr supporter. I consider myself a Libertarian.

This article has me a little concerned.

Is our freedom being taken away faster than we know it? I thought America was about being who you want to be and having your own opinion, even if it's different than the mainstream.

Thoughts about voting

So many people are quick to say... "I don't care who you vote for, as long as you vote." That's such a common phrase this election. Celebrities and networks have devoted many hours of their time driving that thought into our minds. I have also seen it on many people's blogs and in many emails.

I have to add something to that. People need to get informed before they vote. I don't believe in voting for someone just because your parents always voted for that party, or just because it's the "cool" and popular thing to do. I believe in getting informed and researching the candidates and knowing where they stand on each issue before you cast your vote. I believe that if you "just vote" without doing all of this, you are doing everyone, especially yourself, a disservice.

That's all I have to say about that!

Smaller government, more freedom

Please don't confuse the Libertarian Party with being "liberal". Unfortunately, people see the word Libertarian, and automatically think that. It represents liberty!! We are NOT just a 2 party system!!!!!!! I think that voting for either Obama or McCain is just voting for the "lesser of 2 evils". Why should we have to do this? They both seem to change their stand on the issues regularly, according to what they think we want to hear.

If you vote for the lesser of 2 evils, aren't you still voting for evil?

This is from the Libertarian Party website:

What is The Libertarian Party?

The Libertarian Party is your representative in American politics. It is the only political organization which respects you as a unique and competent individual.


America's Heritage

Libertarians believe in the American heritage of liberty, enterprise, and personal responsibility. Libertarians recognize the responsibility we all share to preserve this precious heritage for our children and grandchildren.


Free and Independent

Libertarians believe that being free and independent is a great way to live. We want a system which encourages all people to choose what they want from life; that lets them live, love, work, play, and dream their own way.


Caring For People

The Libertarian way is a caring, people-centered approach to politics. We believe each individual is unique. We want a system which respects the individual and encourages us to discover the best within ourselves and develop our full potential.


Principled; Consistent

The Libertarian way is a logically consistent approach to politics based on the moral principle of self-ownership. Each individual has the right to control his or her own body, action, speech, and property. Government's only role is to help individuals defend themselves from force and fraud.


Tolerant

The Libertarian Party is for all who don't want to push other people around and don't want to be pushed around themselves. Live and let live is the Libertarian way.


Bob Barr will be representing the Libertarian Party in the presidential election!!!!!!!!! He's got my vote!!!! Some people seem to think that this is "wasting" a vote, but if we continue to think like that, then this country will never change!!!

HILARIOUS Stephen Colbert video

Economics of petroleum simplified! Remember to stop my playlist before watching.. you won't be disappointed!!! :)

Bob Barr on The Colbert Report

Jason and I tape every episode of The Colbert Report! It's a great news show with a comedic overtone talking about real headlines.. with a couple of punch lines. If you like politics at all, you should take the time to watch a show or two. Stephen Colbert will keep you in stitches.





Bob Barr is running for President in case you didn't know. He is on the Libertarian ticket!! So far he'll be on the ballot for at least 38 states.. *yay*!
