Taze your gramma this 4th of July
I voted for Obama, and am a registered Democrat. But after Obama got elected . . . nothing changed.
He's not a miracle worker, and there is indeed a lot that he just can't fix. But I'm more worried about the things that he does have control over that he doesn't change. Like the war in Iraq. Or the Patriot Act. Or the economic war with Iran.
How to end the war in Iraq.
Obama is not much different from our last president.
This has helped me to realize that I'm a Libertarian.
I'll write more on this in the future. But just to give you an example on why Libertarians have a good idea, let's talk about the police force.
Libertarians believe that just about everything should be privatized, including the police. People worry that this would lead to police abuse. Well, it's a little too late for that:
This week cops tazed an 86 year-old bedridden grandma because she wouldn't take her meds.
The cops can do this, because they get paid no matter what. If they only got paid for providing a service, they wouldn't get paid when they taze your grandma. The lack of consumer feedback allows for unchecked police brutality.
Also, cops wouldn't be able to bust your head for smoking dope, because you obviously would not pay them for that. And if someone else paid them to do that to you, you could sue them for causing bodily harm.
So that's one point for Libertarians. Obama is doing a good job as almost anyone else would do as president. But I will not vote for him next time. I will vote for someone who will do things differently. I will vote for Ron Paul if he runs.
