Now it’s time to fight

With John McCain’s acceptance speech last night, the general election campaign officially begins.

This campaign, perhaps more than any in decades, represents a fight for the future of the United States and libertarian republican democracy around the world. In the choice between McCain and Obama, we have the distinction between someone who believes in America and everything it stands for and someone who believes that American is fundamentally flawed and can only be fixed by the benevolence of government.

Let us make no mistake, if you choose to vote for Barack Obama, you are voting for someone who does not believe in you as a citizen. Barack Obama believes in bigger government, bigger taxes, the demise of individualism, and the rise of the socialist state. Barack Obama believes in reducing life to a choice. Barack Obama believes in subverting the wellbeing of the United States to the will of the international community who never has this nation’s best interests at heart. Barack Obama believes in reducing the United State’s ability to defend itself. Barack Obama believes in his destiny as president over his duty to serve the people.

The contrast is clear. If you choose to vote for John McCain, you are voting for someone who has dedicated his life to the service of the republic. He stands for the Constitution and the ideals our Founding Fathers put forth. He believes in smaller government, lower taxes, the supremacy of the individual, and the inherent dignity of every life. John McCain believes in making the United States stand strong in the face of a world bent on taking advantage of this nation’s strength while standing for peoples who cannot stand for themselves. John McCain believes that libertarian republican democracy can only be preserved through strong defense. John McCain believes in the destiny of a nation governed of, by, and for the people that he will serve if elected.

If you believe in the vision John McCain supports, then consider yourself my friend, whatever differences may lie between us. I hope we can work together to get McCain to the White House.

IF you believe in the vision of Barack Obama, then consider yourself my objective. It is my goal over the next weeks to convince you that Obama is not the right candidate for president now or ever.

From today until 4 November, my goal is to convince everyone that I can reach both in person and via this weblog that my view is the right view, and that John McCain is the right man at the right time to be President of the United States.

It is my hope and my prayer that you will see my vision and join me in my quest.
