who tells me that myself or someone in my family is going to die from a terrorist act if I don’t vote republican is going to meet the business end of a 2×4 face to face.
I do not take well to threats and tell me that if I don’t vote for a specific candidate I am going to suffer is a threat. I will then respond accordingly.
Anyone out there read 1984? What was one thing Big Brother used to keep the people under control? The threat of war. The world was always at war and the people had to support the war effort. The fear of war being brought home kept people scared enough to not question their government. What about the ministry of Truth? In the novel it was their job to filter news. It was their job to cover up lies and inconsistencies.
Does any of this sound familiar? Who keeps saying if we don’t fight the terrorist there then they will follow us home? How many people have been called unpatriotic for not supporting the war? How many news stories have come out about the current white house trying to cover up situations that might contradict what they have previously done or not done?
I will not be terrorized into giving my vote away to someone who does not deserve it. And in my book, if you tell me I’m going to die if I don’t vote one way or another then you are a terrorist.
Like Teddy said, I talk soft, but carry a big stick. I’m standing here with 2×4 in hand… who’s the next one who wants to open their mouth?
