That’s because no one short of the Lord himself is good enough for some folks, or reason enough to vote out a Communist dictator.
Romney is non-optimal; Obama is a criminal danger.
My original post's reference to "future generations" is an attempt to promote an idea of historical reference, however. Just as we look back on America's Founders' courage, wisdom and bravery in providing us the opportunity enjoy freedom through their choices and sacrifices, we need to remember that sometime in the next couple of hundred years, some other people will look back on the events of today and see that we either preserved (conserved) liberty for them, or that we let a wannabe "ruler" violate our Constitution and destroy the "Blessings of Liberty" for them.
Too many people have died for this Republic's opportunities and protections for ours to be negligent and lose it.
The following is excerpted from an essay entitled, "Will the Great American Experiment Succeed?" in "Our Ageless Constitution."
It was John Adams who said: "The foundation of every government is some principle or passion in the minds of the people." Clearly, the Founders' passion was liberty, and in order to secure that liberty, they sought out and incorporated into the United States Constitution those ideas and principles embodied in the Declaration of Independence.
The French historian, Guizot, once asked James Russell Lowell, "How long will the American republic endure?" Lowell replied: "As long as the IDEAS of the men who founded it continue dominant"
Herein lies the answer to the question, "Will the Experiment Succeed?"
It can and will succeed IF the motivating "principle or passion in the minds of the people" is LIBERTY, and if that passion causes them to exert the determination and will to complete the needed restoration of the IDEAS upon which the great American experiment was based.

Bingo.
Deafness to the increasing silence in the population is vanity. I’ll passively watch the show from I Told You So Hill.
Good men and women, avoid buying anything that you don’t really need. Become more independent each month, learning to make repairs and produce useful things as a hobby for now.
Victory through surrender? What could possibly go wrong?
Unfortunately, there’s no Galt’s Gulch for you to hide in forever.
There’s no need to hide from socialist parasites that are about to be laid off and foreclosed against. They only fantasize about perpetrating their robberies the old fashioned way after leaving office/officious politics.
