Why I Don't Vote

Because I have better things to do with the 15 minutes it would take...

Let me put in this quick update from my 2004 version…

What if NOBODY voted? How would these parasites get into “office” then? This is why you need to understand that voting is giving your CONSENT to be ruled and controlled by the parasite class and their enforcers. The parasite YOU voted in, makes it against the “law” to do whatever they say and it doesn’t matter if there is a victim involved or not. The “law” is the victim. The fact that they will shoot your kid in the back and your wife in the head because you didn’t pay $200 for some tax on a shotgun you decided was too long, doesn’t matter. After all the parasite that YOU voted in said you have to pay that tax and if you don’t…you and your family should get the death penalty. Or worse yet, you and all of the inhabitants of your “compound” need to die by burning to death because after all, you violated a “law”. No victims. No dead bodies. No burned out charred homes…but hey, you violated a “law” that some parasite made that YOU voted in. When is it going to sink in? We are governed by these parasites because we CONSENT to being governed by them!

Have you ever played a game with someone where they insisted on violating the rules of the game as laid down?

For instance, if you played Monopoly and one player just ignored the “Go To Jail” card or refused to pay the rent on Boardwalk, but the rest of the players followed the rules, who do you suppose would win the game if that player was allowed to violate all the rules?

Obviously, the rule breaker would be the winner at the end of that game.

Well, politics is like a big game. Only it is supposed to be a game of life that everyone is supposed to play out with certain rules.

We the people laid down some rules, back in 1788 that were followed for a few years. Those rules are called The United States Constitution and they are sworn to be upheld by everyone who is sworn in as a public official.

Well, if the game players swear to uphold it and then begin violating the rules right away, and they have all the guns at their disposal in the way of force, what can you expect the other players to do but to quit giving their support and take their pieces home from the game and quit?

As near as I can tell the major violations of the rules began with the war of Northern aggression against the peaceful Southern states who wanted out of the marriage contract due to gross violations of the agreements by the North.

The current President back then, Abe Lincoln, was very adept at making up his own rules as he went along with the game. Since Lincoln, every President, up and including our most recent, have violated the rules of the game.

If you read the “rule book,” which is the United States Constitution, you will find that many provisions are being totally ignored and in many cases are so blatantly obvious that anyone with an elementary school education can see it. No, I take that back, a kindergarten education.

Here are just a few of the hundreds of violations of the rules of the game…

1. No where does the Constitution allow the creation of a central bank so that fiat paper money can be issued.

2. No where does the Constitution allow the use of anything other than gold and silver coin for money.

3. No where does the Constitution allow for the creation of standing armies more commonly known as a national police forces, I.E. FBI, ATF, DEA,IRS, FDA, NEA, etc., etc.

4. No where does the Constitution allow for the President to declare war and decide who or what nation to invade.

5. No where does the Constitution allow for the federal government to be involved in “education.”

6. No where does the Constitution allow for any license to have or possess any certain type of firearm. I may be ignorant, but SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED seems pretty straight forward to me.

7. No where does the Constitution allow for the government to do background checks on firearms purchases.

8. No where does the Constitution allow for a national forest service.

9. No where does the Constitution allow for the federal government to claim ownership of any land except as specified for forts, post offices, or naval yards.

10. No where does the Constitution allow for the DIRECT taxation of wages. And this has been supported by numerous Supreme Court decisions.

11. No where does the Constitution allow for a standing army to be used to invade other countries at the whim of those in power. The armies are to be drawn from the MILITIA for a period of two years AFTER a war is declared by Congress. And if we are still in the war after two years, they can extend the support in two year increments.

12. No where does the Constitution call for the establishment of military bases in 800 places around the world.

13. There are hundreds of so called “felonies” on the federal level that make a crime out of victimless acts.

14. No where does the Constitution allow the federal government to tell you what kind of plant you can grow.

This list can go on and on…un-Constitutional war, un-Constructional taxes, un-Constitutional drafts, un-Constitutional control over the states…

So this is how I make my protest….I REFUSE TO PLAY THE GAME AND VOTE for someone who is going to totally ignore the rules that have been laid down for the game.

Why bother?

I want to add the following which is a transcription of a sage of our time, George Carlin. This is why he didn’t vote:

I don’t vote. Two reasons. Two reasons I don’t vote: first of all, it’s meaningless. This country was bought and sold and paid for a long time ago. The shit they shuffle around every two or four years doesn’t mean a fuckin’ thing. And secondly, I don’t vote ’cause I believe if you vote, you have no right to complain. People like to twist that around. I know, they say, they say: “well if you don’t vote you have no right to complain”. But where’s the logic in that? If you vote, and you elect dishonest, incompetent people, and they get into office and screw everything up, well you are responsible for what they have done, YOU caused the problem, you voted them in, you have no right to complain. I on the other hand, who did not vote, WHO DID NOT VOTE. Who in fact did not even leave the house on election-day, am in no way responsible for what these people have done, and have every RIGHT to complain as loud as I want, about the mess YOU created, that I had nothing to do with. ~George Carlin

So you folks go ahead and keep voting. Let me know if anything changes…
