Congratulations

You did it. You let your voice be heard, and did you make a difference? Did your team win?

Regardless of what your answers are to any of the above questions the only important one may be, are things going to get better now? Regardless of the fact that Barack Obama will be sitting in the oval office come January doesn’t make a damn bit of difference. Problem is, neither your or my best interests are no where close to the top of his priorities. Even if they were, what about those whose best interests do not reflect our own? This is the problem with democracy or such as you voted for, a representative republic.

Democracy is aggression. Whether you are holding the gun or not, when you vote to put rulers in power, you are aggressing against all those who may oppose that rulers ideals. For if we do not agree and dare dissent, we may be forced with threat of violence, imprisonment or by the barrel of a gun to submit. Fact is fact, and this is the path you have chosen.

As George Washington said, “Government is not reason, it is not eloquence. It is force. And force like fire is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.”
