Three Reasons To Elect John McCain
Worldnetdaily’s David Kupelian published a column in which he outlined the three best reasons to elect John
McCain over Barack Obama. Considering that his boss, Joseph Farah, has gone on record saying he intends to cast a protest vote for a third party candidate, Kupelian’s arguments put him on the opposite side.
Reason One: End the tyranny of the Supreme Court
Reason Two: Win the war against radical Islam
Reason Three: A president needs a strong character
A protest vote for a third candidate is therefore a partisan decision in which what is best for the country is secondary to what is best for the party. Do you want someone in the White House who opposes abortion, or someone who favors it? Voting for someone who has no chance of winning accomplishes zero for the country — even if it makes you feel good.
It provides yet another definition of 21st century patriotism: “The country may collapse, but I feel good about it. Serves them right for not agreeing with me.” I like the old definition better: “My country, right or wrong.”
Call me a blind loyalist, if you like. I no longer know what ‘patriot’ means, anyway.
