Voting For Romney Will Make Us Better Citizens

In Michael Smerconish's essay, Obama: Substance Not Smears, the author deflates criticism of the president by itemizing the absurdity of the attacks and does little to build a case to validate that Obama is a person of substance. We all know that the charges made by most of these media clowns are baseless. They are not intended for people who use facts or reasoned analysis to make a decision. The purpose is purely incendiary, to aggrandize the speaker, to entertain and amuse the baboon citizenry. And to sell soap powder.

There are, however, substantial and significant charges that should be levied against Mr. Obama, acts, which, if perpetrated during saner times, would have the president impeached or charged with war crimes.

These are not groundless accusations. Many are blatant violations of the Constitution, while others are charges that the president, when he was  candidate Obama, accused the previous administration of. They, presented in increasing heinousness, are:

• Suppression of whistle blowers
• Use of wire-taps and drones to spy on Americans
• Dispensing with habeus corpus
• Use of drones to kill citizens of Northern Warziristan
• Undeclared war on Libya and Yemen
• Implementation of kill lists

I am not going waste time debating the accuracy and the severity of these charges as they are well documented in the media. The last, and the most egregious of all, the president had the extreme arrogance to trumpet on a late night entertainment program, a policy he now refuses to talk about due to its top secret nature.

For these reasons I cannot in good conscience vote for President Obama. A vote for Obama would signify that I respect the candidate and approve of his policies, which I find abhorrent. His administration is the antithesis of a government ruled by law. The expected automatic responses generally are: “Romney will do the same or worse” and “Obama is the lesser of two evils” trope. Have we come to this? Again? Election after election, are we to settle for the lesser of two evils presented by the corrupt two-party system that continually fails to deliver good, honest, transparent government?

I cannot say that I will vote for Romney and a vote for the likes of a Jill Stein or a Gary Johnson would be of no consequence. I will posit, however, that a Romney victory will make us better citizens. Yes. I will say it again. We all will be better citizens under President Romney.

The Democratic party and the enfeebled fourth estate would challenge a Romney administration that disregards the Constitutional protections that define us as a nation. Currently we have a president who is fighting a war on terror using tactics we have not seen since Hiroshima and Nagasaki, since the London blitz. His use of kill lists is by every definition murder, pure and simple. Not a pre-emptive strike ignobly called Operation Iraqi Freedom. It’s called murder. Not collateral damage. Not non-combatant casualties. Murder.

Just as the Constitution prevents a president from declaring war without Congressional approval (which did not however prevent Obama from taking unchecked military action against Libya and Yemen), no president should have the right to execute anyone, let alone a fellow citizen, without due process, presentation of evidence, the right to an attorney, and the involvement of a judge and jury. These are basic principles enshrined in our Constitution and they must be protected from tyrannical rule, regardless of party affiliation. Any president who does not protect them, who works for subvert them, is a traitor to his country.

These are the arguments that should be made against the totalitarian regime that is the Obama administration. Not that he has a fake birth certificate, that he is secretly a Muslim, a socialist exacting his father’s anti-colonialist vendetta on the West. No, Obama is not a racist or a retard. He is a traitor and a murderer. This is not a recklessly tweeted allegation made to incite the baboons. These are facts, easily ascertained facts documented by the media and commentators of every affiliation, facts unadulterated by a partisan perspective, a naked observation of the audacious actions of the last four years.

Where are the Democrats challenging the president for his abuse of executive power? Where is the media leading with this story on election day? We instead discuss, tweet, and amuse ourselves with tales of Murdoch, Mourdock, debating the fifty shades of rape, rocking out with the Boss, Kid Rock, and placing wagers with Trump, Silver and Scarborough, while between commercial breaks of Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, we rattle our baboon cages and toss our poop at the television, computer, tablet, or smart phone.
