Libertarianism?

I pledge to vote for Ron Paul. I pledge to vote regardless of political strategy. I choose to vote for the right candidate, the best candidate, and the candidate that lines up most with my beliefs on how the government should run. I refuse to vote based on party lines and sacrifice quality for control.

And to those who would discourage, saying “thanks for a vote for the other guys.” I say,

1. read the quote below, think, repeat. (it applies to both sides)
2. go do this to yourself.

Money quote:

When conservatives feel comfortable mocking the victims gunned down by Clinton-era attorney general Janet Reno’s FBI in Waco, Tex., in 1993, it suggests that a complacent and increasingly authoritarian establishment feels threatened.

for a lack of items to post today ( or shear laziness) and the fact that i wanted to post something… anything… i present to you, my 2007 christmas/birthday list:

• Rock Band
• Guitar Hero III (i don’t need the controller… if i get rock band…)
• Small, Dark coffee bag
• This backpack
• Slingbox Pro

Here’s some quick stats… in case you weren’t paying attention.

1. these items are expensive. therefore they’re optional… unless you decide to get the video games (i would like both if i get any).
2. two of these items are bags. one bag would be for work, the other for my trip to england.
3. none of these items are necessities. I want to make it perfectly clear, these are all leisure related, luxury driven wishes that i have. things that i wouldn’t get for myself for another year or two, if at all. (well, i’ll probably get one of the video games before next year… but still..) Got them! Thanks mom and dad!

Thank-you in advance for your holiday cooperation. And if you decide to opt out, surprise me. I’m going to England right after Christmas.
