Well put, but given those choices, I'll hold my nose and vote for Romney. If Obama is reelected on November 6th it could very well be the last free presidential election we will see for a very long time. Obama has given himself frightening powers to curtail free speech, shut down the Internet, control the media and even "detain" US citizens indefinitely in time of national emergency. All it would take is a trumped up "Reichstag fire" incident to make Obama a virtual dictator. Obama has already shown his disregard for Congress, the courts and the Constitution and his willingness to rule by decree. In a second term we could only expect this to get worse. I think our choice in November is clear.
Modern liberalism:
(1) Your problems are not your fault. Your problems are caused by bad people who don't deserve what they have, and we will solve all your problems by taking money away from them and giving it to you.
(2) You have a right to be happy. If you are unhappy, it is someone else's fault. We will force others to celebrate, affirm, and subsidize your choices, and we will smack down people who are doing better than you in order to assuage your status anxiety.
(3) All lifestyles are equally legitimate, and if yours has negative consequences, we will bail you out to level the playing field.
(4) You do not need to worry about the future. Live for today, and we will take care of the rest.
What is unpopular about any of that?
