Choosing the Choices

Dear Subscriber,

What is your favorite color: mauve, chartreuse, or beige?

After all, those are the only possible "legitimate" answers to the
question. Because I said so.

If, two years ago, you asked everyone in the country who they
wished would be President, if it could be anyone they wanted, how
many people do you think would say Mike Huckabee? Approximately
none. Mitt Romney? About zero. Fred Thompson? Pretty much no one.
Ron Paul? A puny percentage, but probably several thousand at least
(which wouldn't include me--my choice would be "no one").

So where did those supposed "choices" come from, because--with the
exception of Ron Paul--it sure as heck wasn't from any sort of
popular demand. How did those options just magically appear out of
nowhere? It was, of course, the two factions of the collectivist
ruling class that told the people who the "choices" would be.
Basically, the royal family trotted out a few of their power-happy
offspring, and said we could choose which one would be oppressing
us for the next few years.

(The fact that the ruling "family" in our country is linked by an
insider's political club, instead of by blood, only makes it worse.
After all, it's possible for a king to accidentally have a kid who
isn't evil, but you won't ever catch a political establishment
accidentally appointing anyone to a position of power who actually
likes freedom.)

So a club of collectivist control freaks will let you "choose"
which one of THEIR approved collectivist control freaks will have
his jackboot on your neck for the next four years. And we're
supposed to feel empowered because of that? At this point, the
Tyrants R Us brigade in DC, and their propagandists in the
mainstream media, aren't even trying very hard to hide the truth of
just how "democratic" our insane system has become. (Incidentally,
democracy itself is a really bad idea, but what we have now is even
worse.)

Take, for example, the decision by Fox "News" to exclude Ron Paul
from today's Republican primary presidential debate in New
Hampshire. The all-knowing Fox "News," in its wisdom, declared Rudy
Giuliani the leader in the race. In Iowa, Giuliani came in SIXTH,
at about 3%, while Ron Paul more than TRIPLED that, with just over
10%. Nonetheless, the Fox News bigwigs, having just demonstrated
their less-than-stellar powers of prediction, decided that Ron Paul
is not a "legitimate" candidate, and so he wouldn't be included in
the debate in New Hampshire.

There are two options here: 1) Fox "News" is unbelievably bad at
predicting elections, or 2) Fox "News" is not discovering and
reporting what the people want, but is reporting what Fox "News"
WANTS the people to want. Either way, letting those morons and/or
liars decide who should be in the debates is ridiculous. In fact,
it's so ridiculous that even the New Hampshire Republican party
removed its sponsorship of today's debate because of the exclusion
of Ron Paul. (Being the cynic I am, I think the party mainly did
that, not because of any actual principle, but because it wanted to
stop the avalanche of angry letters it was getting for being part
of the political censorship agenda.)

Even on the comments on Fox's web site, most of the anti-Paul
comments were based entirely on the argument, "He can't possibly
win." How do people think they can possibly know such a thing?
Because the wildly inaccurate "polls" tell them so? You mean the
same polls that said that Giuliani was the frontrunner? And the
same ones the put Hillary way ahead of the pack in the Democratic
race? After Ron Paul got THREE TIMES the votes in Iowa that the
supposed "frontrunner" got, and Hillary came in THIRD, why would
anyone ever base anything upon the polls ever again?

But what makes Fox "News" win the Orwellian award of the week hands
down is the fact that it's tightly controlled, substance-avoiding,
all-collectivist propaganda agenda is presented under the
ridiculous banner of "You Decide 2008!" Amazing.

Sincerely,

(P.S. Ron Paul did far better in Iowa than polls predicted.
Tancredo is now dropping out of the race, and endorsing Mitt
Romney. Please remember my prediction, because this is only the
start.)
