I don't quite agree with Lloyd Garver's view that more people should vote (“Getting people to vote isn’t so hard,” Nov. 11-12, page 4), since I feel if fewer voted it would be the best statement we the people could make about our hopelessly corrupt system as it's run today and also lead to quicker change than just voting for the sake of voting. And staying the course.
Additionally, most people who vote do nothing else for their country during off-season, and it's the same party-liners who keep getting voted in and out.
However, I am one happy right-winger to see the neo-con clique get thrashed. And it’s because the Christian community is finally waking up to the fact that they were deceived. I, for one, was never fooled by this pagan cabal masquerading under catchy phrases like family values. And neither were many other born-again believers, but the media kept perpetuating the myth that the present imperialist, fascistic regime was conservative, and supposedly had a Christian fan base. Yeah, right.
Praise God, the truth always comes out sooner or later. Now, if the Dems will just be bold enough to initiate impeachment proceedings, we will truly be blessed by Christ.
