Choices, Choices by Craig L. Hayes 5-2-12 In a few months we will all have to make a difficult choice. The choice is not if we should re-elect Pres. Obama, we should not. The choice is how difficult for us conservatives it will be to vote for Mitt Romney. There is so much at stake for this country's future with this election. Believe me, I am no Mitt Romney fan. I am not even a Republican and I could never be a Democrat. I just know that Barack Obama has been, is, and will be a disaster for this nation. Mitt Romney is a moderate or more accurately a North East Republican liberal. He is not a conservative as he always claims and I will point to his flip-flops on abortion and Romney-care in Massachusetts as examples. Some might point to his business savvy as proof of his conservative roots. If generating wealth and expanding an investment portfolio are examples of being conservative, then most Democrats in the Congress are conservatives by this definition. Democrats love wealth and money as much as anyone else, maybe more. Pres. Obama is a socialist at least and is more likely defined as a communist. He believes in communism just like his father, mother, grandparents, stepfather, school professors, fellow students, friends, and even his own minister for 20 years. He also likes having them in his administration as Czars and advisors. Mitt Romney has other problems. I believe his biggest problem is that no one knows what he believes in and what his core beliefs on capitalism and conservatism really are. He, at times, seems almost 1 apologetic for his success and his accomplishments as a businessman. I do believe he is more of a corporatist then he is a capitalist or a conservative. Pres. Obama has a similar problem to Mitt Romney. It is not that he does not have core beliefs or it changes from time to time, it is this. If he were to be honest with the American people on what he truly believes, he would have never been elected President of the United States. You see, progressives/Marxists have to lie about their beliefs in order to obtain elected political office. Once elected progressives “seem” to change and try to implement their true distribution of wealth ideas on the American people. The differences in these two men are not black and white (no pun intended), but more like communist or liberal. Neither ideology is good for America but Mitt’s ideology is just less destructive, or slower to destroy. Let us now look at the two candidates and how they feel about this country. Mitt, for all of his shortcomings is proud to be an American and I know he loves this country. I also believe he honors and respects the founding fathers and our founding documents. He may not be a constitutional conservative, but I do not believe he would want to destroy our Constitution. Pres. Obama on the other hand comes from a family of communists. He has friends that are terrorists, and believes in liberation theology, social justice, the redistribution of wealth, the fundamental transformation of America, and an all-powerful federal government. He also looks at our Constitution as an “antiquated charter of negative rights”. I am sure he looks at America and its founding as a terrible injustice not only for the Native Americans but for all mankind around 2 the world. With all the hate and venom being preached to him by parents, friends, teachers, and pastors, how could he love this country and not be a communist? Normally, I would tell others to vote for whatever candidate in the political party that follows their core beliefs the closest. Normally I would say this. This is not a normal election. The price of tyranny and the loss of rights is too large a measure on the scales of liberty to not vote for Mitt Romney. I stand firm with the belief that President Obama needs to be fired. Our choice will be between a man who loves this country and is a good man and a man who does not love this nation and is a communist. Our choice will be between a man who would never knowingly do harm to the citizens or businesses of this country and a man who has used his office and administration to wage war on the citizenry and business. Our choice will be between a man who made his own fortune in the business world and a man who believes the fortunes of others are to be taken by him and re-distributed. Our choice will be between a man who believes in individual liberty and freedom and a man that believes in a supreme federal government that rules over the people. I know history will look back at us and either say they chose to slow the march of tyranny and voted for Mitt Romney or they will say they voted for Barack Obama and their own slavery to the state. Choices, choices, not so hard now, right? 3
