I am a Sheep – I will vote Democrat or Republican

“Every election season America is presented with a series of false choices. Should we launch preemptive wars against this country or that one? Should every American neighborhood live under this policy or that one? Should a third of our income be taken away by an income tax or a national sales tax?”(Ron Paul) Do you see the problem with this? Are we to assume that these are our only options? So we should have a third of our income taken away! There is no option to take less money away. The debate is centered around who gets our money and we are left scratching our heads.

“And so every four years we are treated to the same tired, predictable routine: two candidates with few disagreements on fundamentals pretend that they represent dramatically different philosophies of government… But conservatives (and liberals) are told that they must support these candidates, and so they do, hoping for the best and nothing changes.” (Ron Paul)

The 2008 Town Hall Presidential Debate at Belmont University’s Curb Event Center is Tuesday, October 7th at 8pm. We will be protesting the two party media bias and the sheep that it produces. I have designed and printed t-shirts and bought masks that symbolize the public at large who blindly follow whoever the media propaganda machine tells them to trust without even using common sense. The media is so relentless that the public is fooled into believing that these politicians will fulfill everyone’s hopes and desires.

The action is to demonstrate how most people have resigned themselves to a herd mentality and follow the group or their “leaders” without thinking. The irony is that although we will be dressed as sheep we will think independently, question our leaders and follow only truth. So the goal is to spread the word that everyone of us, whether Democrat, Republican or Independent has the duty to question authority and the right to seek truth, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Our mission then is to open the public’s eyes to the tragedy that is the current political system in America. We will resist tyranny through education. Truth is American. Let us not continue to be led astray by the powerful few who are concerned only for themselves, but remove our masks of ignorance and march together toward unity.

Presidential Debate – No Independent Voters Allowed!

As the presidential candidates Barack Obama and John McCain lie their way to the white house with empty promises, most Americans fail to see the growing nose of deceit. Perhaps the wood and plastic that make up the candidates just might be enough to once again fool the public into believing that these politicians will fulfill everyone’s hopes and desires.

Well the Town Hall debate at Belmont University, in my home town of Nashville, promises to be no different. The so called “Town Hall” debate is not even intended for the citizens of this town. If you do not believe me then just try to go to your “Town Hall” debate and see where your voice can be heard. The Commission on Presidential Debates is a private corporation controlled by the Republican and Democratic parties. They will choose who gets to attend and fill up those mindless seats. Independent voters need not apply.

So the real issues will not even be debated and maybe that is for the better because important issues require straight and true solutions – something which is impossible for a two headed serpent. Regardless, one thing is for sure, these egotists, albeit looking out for number one, have their bodies and minds tied to an even greater and menacing power who is tightening its grip.
