My Thoughts on the Election: The Devil You Know
Regular readers know that I voted for the Libertarian candidate for President, former Governor of New Mexico, Gary Johnson. I outlined my reasons for this choice in several posts, most definitively in my piece Meet Gary Johnson: The Libertarian for President Polling at 7% in Colorado. While I was already excited for my first act of Presidential civil disobedience, I didn’t realize how truly liberating it would feel until the next morning. Many Americans voted for “the lesser of two evils” and were disappointed in the result. This must have been an emotional double whammy in the sense that not only did the guy you disliked so much that you were willing to vote for a candidate you didn’t like win, but you didn’t vote your conscience.
The devil you don’t want to know.
Just wanted to let everyone know that if anything happens to me…I have been visited by Mormons, and so the people who back them.

And, I wanted to let you know…it has been a hoot and a privilege to read and post with such people as Max and Stacy, and everyone who they brought over to their neighborhood.
Aye, the lesser of two evils argument has lost a lot of adherents. The West is still on the March to War with Iran given Obama’s immediate foreign policy actions straight after winning the election. It seems everyone in Washington is a Neocon or a neocon, i.e. no difference at all.
We all know the votes weren’t even looked at. 49-49. Completely fabricated by the media.
But Romney was a known quantity. The opposition to plurality in America, his notion akin to Pat Robertson’s that adherence of everyone to the particular rituals of his church and obedience to those rigors, strictures and mortification of his religion would ultimately please God and thus heal the world, and so then God would provide for everyone, hence it was his duty to impose his particular brand of religious dogma upon everybody, like it or not, either deliberately couched as secular thinking or delusional on his part that it could be framed as otherwise secular reforms over the last remaining basic liberties and freedoms which haven’t otherwise been lost or compromised yet.
