Votational Education
11/29/07 - 5th Day - After Breakfast. Our friend Herrick Kimball over at The Deliberate Agrarian has a new blog post up today entitled: I Support Ron Paul for President. I appreciate his willingness to alienate some readers by speaking his mind and his conscience on the issue - and I am thankful for his positions on freedom and limited government. However, I will probably, if the Lord wills, be posting an extra-special edition of the blog entitled Why I Do Not Support Ron Paul for President. I don't do this to argue with Herrick, who I appreciate and who I am sure shares my beliefs and concerns on many issues - including the issues of freedom and benevolent and limited government, but if we were having this friendly discussion on my porch on a nice November evening (we can do that down here in Texas) I would respond strongly - and since Agrarianism is a philosophy and worldview that fosters strong opinions and friendly discussion, I feel compelled to respond. So expect that front porch response soon...
In the meantime, read my article on the subject from 2004 when freedom lovers were being harangued by professing "christian" fascists in the neo-con movement to support George Bush, and simultaneously were being harassed by well-meaning but ignorant do-gooders in the Constitution party to support some unelectable and unknown Jesuit trained Catholic named Peroutka:
Why Christians Should Not Vote
And remember... everyone who does not write in my name for President is actually voting for Dukakis... and everyone who DOES write in my name is actually voting for Bob Dole. A vote for me is a vote for not voting. Don't get me started...
Ok, we continued our work in the root cellar yesterday, and I actually made a trip to town to the grocery market where I spent a lot of money on bulk sale items since we had not been grocery shopping in ages. The folks at the grocery were glad to see us, and one of the old guys who carries our bags to the car (yes, they still do that here) kept saying "How is your root cellar?", and "You gonna put all this stuff in your root cellar?". He has told me on a few previous occasions about his fond memories of root cellars when he was a boy, and he is fascinated that anyone would have such a thing today.
It's a bit chilly this morning (38 degrees) and the prognosticators are calling for 62 as a high today. They are also calling for some more rain maybe this Sabbath, which would be nice. Hope everyone who wants it got the latest episode of Q&A Fridays that I mailed out yesterday.
God Bless y'all,
Michael
