Disappointed

I tired to vote on election day. I always try to (even tho I seriously doubt it does any good). Since I knew I would be at work on the ship, I filed for an absentee ballot. I sent it in. I even checked off the box for EMAIL. I had some slim hopes that the mail would deliver my ballot in time for me to vote in this election.

It seems they can’t get an envelope from Texas to Angola in 3 weeks, never mind that I never would have been able to mail it back to them in order to be counted before it was too late. So, NO, I did NOT get to vote in this election. 🙁

I am very disappointed, mostly because in contrast to the people who constantly tell me I’m wasting my vote by choosing to vote Libertarian, I am NOT wasting my vote at all. In fact, my vote counts 100 times more than theirs will.

By voting 3rd party, I am making my voice heard. I am emphatically stating that the way things have been going for the last 100 years is NOT acceptable!!!

I try not to pay any attention to politics. My friends will probably disagree with that statement. Especially since it may seem like that’s all they ever see me posting about on Facebook.

Sometimes I get carried away with it in personal discussions. Some have even accused me of ‘ranting’ on certain issues.

Yes, I have to admit, it’s almost impossible to avoid the politics any more in the USA. I have come to envy certain people. I really don’t know how they manage to do it. To completely ignore everything that’s going on in the world around them.

They’re happy to just live in their own little world and ignore all the continual and constant additional rules and regulations being piled upon us every day. The constant violations of our ‘god-given’, or as I prefer to call them, natural rights.

It helps to be retired, or otherwise not concerned with a job. It helps to not have to leave the house. I think even if I could live that way I would still be bothered just by the fact that any time they want, the government could choose to destroy you personally (KILL YOU on a WHIM, read up on the PATRIOT ACT and/or NDAA) and everything you’ve ever worked for in your life (Google asset forfeiture).

I’ll never understand how so many people just continue to totally ignore that fact and just go on with their lives like everything is perfectly fine.

It’s NOT. 🙁

Libertarian Party calls for restoring the Fourth Amendment | Libertarian Party.

I vote Libertarian whenever I can. I figure if they are willing to run for office with that label that puts them at such a disadvantage from the start, they must REALLY believe in the principles of liberty. I haven’t seen any candidate from any other party worth voting for in decades. I will vote for freedom and individual liberty on every issue every time and I refuse to support anyone who will take away my freedom. We have already given up WAY too much of our freedoms. Just in my lifetime, we have lost SO much of it. I will never allow FEAR to dictate my choices, my life. I can’t stand it that the people of this country seem to be willing to give everything up for the false feeling of safety and security they get from listening to the government. Its like we’ve morphed from the ‘land of the free and home of the brave’ to the place full of whiny little irresponsible babies who want to be ‘taken care of’ from birth to death. I just wonder what ever gave people the idea that anything like that could even be possible, much less achievable?
