It
is a fact that Obama and Romney both claim the President possesses
absolute power, the power over life itself -- and this with regard to every
human being alive. It is a fact that a vote for Obama or Romney means
that you support their claim. Demand that anyone who says he or she will
vote for Obama or Romney declare: "I vote for Obama/Romney proudly. I am
proud to be a knowing accomplice to their murders, including the murders
of innocent human beings."
Make them say it. I still have hope for the
future, but whatever hope I have rests on our understanding, identifying and
accepting the meaning of what we are doing. To vote for Obama or Romney
is to be a knowing accomplice to their murders. If that is what you are,
say it. Say it -- and be damned.
Then we can defend
ourselves."

The U.S. "War on Terrorism" is, itself, terrorism, creating more
revengeful terrorists every day. Noam
Chomsky has told us, " Everybody's worried about stopping terrorism. Well, there's a really
easy way: stop participating in it. " But there is too much money in
waging war for Lockheed-Martin, Boeing, and all the other war profiteers, and
their dutiful servants in Congress and in every White House, for any of them to
pay attention to Chomsky's sage reminder.
Of
course, Romney/Ryan would not have been any better. The Republicans would have
continued their failed (except for the wealthy and corporations) economic
policies of cutting taxes for the rich and corporations, waiting for the private
sector to create more jobs (which is like waiting for Godot), cutting every
safety net program, increasing military/security spending and U.S.
"interventions" abroad, increasing subsidies to fossil fuel and polluting
industries (while denying catastrophic climate change), and nominating extreme
right-wing and pro-corporate ideologues as judges.
All
that is clear and, for many liberals, in spite of Obama's bloody, dismal record
in his first term, amounts to enough of a difference to vote against the
Republicans by voting for Obama/Biden.
But
asking if Romney/Ryan would be any better than Obama/Biden is asking the wrong
question, the question which only perpetuates the current rule of the
corporate/military imperialists running the United States and arrogantly and
recklessly dominating much of the world.
