Here is another hot button topic. I hear Mark rail about this topic from time to time. He will expound on the right and DUTY to vote. I find that to be a skewed viewpoint. Let me explain.
A person has the right to vote in this country. I will refrain from calling it a Democracy because I do not think that it is in the truest sense of the word. They would like for us to think that we live in one but that isn't anywhere close to being realistic.
We are free to choose to vote if we so wish to do so (bearing in mind that you meet the requirements). But for those of us who choose not to based on the fact that we realize it is the electoral college that determines the outcome (or so "they" would like you to think) what difference does it make for the populace to engage in this routine? It's like releasing mice into a maze with cheese on the other end. Watching the mice try to figure out how to get there is the entertainment. We are the mice and the voting booth is the cheese. Working our way through the maze is what we have to go through to get to the voting booth. Listening to the lies and watching the games being played. But we want that cheese. Translated means we NEED a leader.
Was it Mark that said this past week "Even if you have to hold your nose and pull the lever"? What kind of advice is that? Telling people to vote even when there is no one worthy of voting for? What is that? You don't vote to be VOTING. Are people going through the act just to attain the RIGHT to have an opinion? To complain? What kind of advice is that?
People need to understand that voting is an empty act. The candidates that we have put before us are chosen for us. CHOSEN FOR US. We don't pick them. Do you honestly believe that when you go to a voting booth with all the fraud that we know about that anything is done honestly? How many times must we go through voter fraud and all the deceit to understand that the ENTIRE GAME IS RIGGED?
Has anyone stopped to think about the candidates that they vote for? Where they come from? Who they are related to? Who their parents are? What world they were raised in? I can promise you that they are NOT the next door neighbor. You won't see candidates up there that graduated out of the local community college. They all come from well known, well established Ivy league colleges. That's a fact. You aren't voting for regular people.
These people are put before us and we are given a false sense of choice. We are to perform the ACT of voting. It makes us feel like we have a say in things, when we actually don't. If everyone stayed home on voting day and did not go to the polls I promise you that by that night you would see reports of voter turnout (even if it is vintage footage) and the next day there would be elected officials. The process would still be performed - whether or not you participate. The whole idea of voting is a joke. But people WANT TO BELIEVE that they have a say in their own government. I don't blame them, I would like to think that as well but the evidence proves otherwise. We live in a corrupted society that is full of lies and deception. Truth is a very rare and precious commodity not easily found.
But for people like Mark to condemn those of us who see through the crap and know that it is a lie and then to try & tell us that we don't have a right to an opinion is wrong. He is not in a position of authority to tell anybody that. Nor is anyone else. If I choose not to vote because I know that voting does no good and choose to hold to the belief that God is the only authority qualified to govern over man then that is my right as an individual. But people like Mark will tell you that that is ridiculous and that we all need a mortal man to govern us because after all there are certain politicians that will tell you that the regular guy isn't capable of governing himself, he needs another person to do that for him. How stupid is that? And people want to believe this crap.
Try calling Mark's show and telling him that and you will not be on the phone 10 seconds before he hangs up and says his famous line "Get off the phone you dope". If we aren't in agreement with Mark and praising him with every breath in our body we are dopes and fecal heads. And fecal heads we may be, but we are happy fecal heads since we know that we are the few, the proud, the aware.
Voting does not automatically give rights to anything. Actually it is nothing more than an empty act.
