A smart voter is politician's nightmare

Record snowfall and unprecedented low temperatures across America find Nobel laureate and Oscar winner Al Gore comfortably secluded in his palatial estate, dutifully counting his gold doubloons. Snake oil salesmen flourish richly in a media-dominated climate totally void of critical thinking and due diligence.

November's self-described “shellacking” of liberalism simply represents the first of many rejections of destructive tax-and-spend socialism propelling the United States to Third World nation status. Genius of the Founders, celebrating the enduring promise of liberty while acknowledging the profound, awesome responsibilities of citizenship, triumphed at the ballot box in the person of a passionate electorate.

We hold these truths to be self-evident: that the informed, engaged, patriotic voter armed only with his Constitutionally-protected right to self-determination, proves to be the disingenuous career politician's worst nightmare every time. Let freedom ring.
