Dear RNC/Romney Campaign Intern,
I’ve
never donated money to the RNC, though I have been registered a Republican
since I became eligible to vote in 2002. Every election that I have
participated in, I have faithfully voted for the party candidates at local,
state, and federal levels. No more.
You
see, I have since educated myself on what it means to be an American who
believes in the governing authority of the United States Constitution. The
Republican Party does not stand for these values, which are not conservative,
but are what has been called Libertarian values. The Republican Party is not
against “Big Government” anymore than the Democrat Party. The only difference
is that Republicans typically want to increase the size of government to push
an agenda that happens to fall within my world view, but that doesn’t make it
any more right than the liberal agenda. Big Government is Big Government.
Now,
allow me to address a few issues very close to me. I have had it up to my ears
with Republicans touting the Pro-Life/Anti-Abortion flag but then doing little to
nothing about the issue. Who gives a rat’s ass if you are Pro-Life. If you’re not going to introduce legislation
or policies to do anything about it, then it’s just a talking point. I’m sick
of it. I don’t want to hear about how you are personally affected by abortion.
I want to see a bill outlawing it or I want to see a plan to repeal Roe V. Wade
and I want it in WRITING!
Next,
gay marriage. Who the hell cares what two dudes are doing in the privacy of
their own home? If sticking your penis up some dude’s ass is something you want
to do in the privacy of your property, who am I to say you can’t do that and
who is the government to say you can’t do that. Orgies can happen with no
negative government repercussions but the minute two of the men or women want
to start calling their relationship a marriage suddenly it’s an issue? I’m not
okay with that. My Christian faith tells me it’s morally reprehensible, but my Christian
faith doesn’t give me the authority to tell those who are not Christians that
they can’t live a homosexual lifestyle, and the Constitution doesn’t give
government the authority do so either. Get “Big Government” out of marriage,
both heterosexual and homosexual, and let God and the church sort that out.
While I’m on the subject, outlawing polygamy while ignoring unmarried couples
who have sex is just dumb. And stop telling people they can’t exchange money
for sex. It’s gross but it’s none of your damn business.
Notice
a pattern here? GET OUT OF MY LIFE! Get out of my pay check! Get out of my
home! I can arrange my own trash pick-up! I can get my own health insurance! I
can make my own car choice! Let me pay my taxes. I’ll let you continue to take
care of the roadways and other things that we need you for. But that list of
things I need you for is very short!
Oh, and
I’m writing in Ron Paul this year. So, don’t count on my vote, you big
government crooks.
Patrick Ryan
