Many of you are shocked that a President with this record could get re-elected. The economy is in bad shape and is teetering on the edge of collapse, the debt burden is higher than it has ever been, our foreign policy has become so muddled and confused and is putting us in increased danger, and the government is becoming more and more involved in every economic decision of every individual. How could Americans not reject this?
Unfortunately, those affiliated with our liberty movement knew this was a predictable outcome. If you wanted Americans to reject these policies, you needed to have a candidate that would fully reject these policies. Neither Romney nor McCain did this. Well, the GOP has taken over the primary process and has been preventing the real issues from being debated.
Remember the Tea Party influence in 2010. It worked well until the party co-opted the grassroots movement and then immediately pushed it aside. It was bad enough that the media ostracized the movement, but if you are to learn from this, you have to realize that the GOP did the same thing. If you want Americans to reject the policies that are destroying this nation, you must reject them yourselves!
You may have your differences about the long-range wisdom of our foreign policy, (revisit your conservative roots, it was the founders who warned us against entangling alliances). Outside of foreign policy, we agree on so much. We believe that it is immoral to incur a debt you have no intention of repaying. We believe that life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness cannot be infringed upon by the government. We believe that the best way to spread liberty through the world is to demonstrate the perfect example.
The liberty movement is about seeing through the left/right paradigm and coming to the understanding that it is us against the government – not left against right. If you want to win again politically, you need to win again on ideas. And that is where this movement holds the most value.
The GOP uses our minor differences to divide us against each other. And they are quite successful. Now that the election is over, I urge you to seek our help on our points of agreement and try to keep an open mind about how to achieve our mutual goals. Now is the time to remove the partisan blinders and tell these politicians that they may no longer divide us for their own political advantage.
I prefer a dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery
For Liberty!
