Elections Matter

I know a lot of people take the tack that elections don't really matter, I mean why vote at all? It's not like your ONE vote is going to make a difference.

Of course the truth is that it could and does make all of the difference.

The liberals in this country know that votes matter (whether they are real or not :) They want nothing more than to take us down the road that our European friends have been trudging through for years now. Further and further down the septic slope to socialism. Big brother knows best.

For a glimpse of where this will take us, check out this story from Germany.

This begs the question about our own school system. As I previously blogged about there are parents in this country facing fines and possible imprisonment for not vaccinating their kids.

The whole process is incremental.

No body thinks that one day the government will be placing smoke detectors in your home, not for your protection but to check for cigarette smoke so that they can fine you, put you in a government anti-smoking program, take your kids into foster care and repeal your government health coverage.

I know, I'm paranoid. I mean it's not like the government would use or expand the roll of cameras and monitors for law enforcement. It's not like they would prohibit smoking in your OWN home. It's not like they would be able to control whether or not we were able to receive healthcare. The government can't really take your kids away.

Paranoid, I know.
