The main question is: will Obama’s disastrous foreign policies turn catastrophic? In other words, will there be a major terrorist attack or war in the near future as a result of crippling American military and intelligence agencies, apologizing, appeasing, and empowering terrorist groups and radical countries? The probability has been creeping up dangerously over the last few years, and seems to be at an all-time high today.
The second question is: will Obama’s disastrous economic policies turn catastrophic? In other words, will there be a major economic collapse in the near future as a result of Obama’s extremely loose fiscal policies of printing and borrowing money at an unprecedented rate, while at the same time strangling economic growth with irrational taxation, regulations, and other government interference? Again, the probability of such a catastrophe has been escalating in the past few years and is also at an all-time high today.
Bottom line: existential risk is escalating at an alarming rate under Obama due to his irrational economic and foreign policies and judicial nominations, and this would change dramatically by electing Romney. Just voting for Romney isn’t enough (especially if you’re not in a swing state) - you need to be donating money to his campaign and other PACs, and knocking on doors in swing states.
I should also mention the Democrats’ judicial nominations:
Justices Kennedy and Scalia are in their late 70s, and both are the critical fifth vote on tremendously important libertarian principles:
There are four justices on the Supreme Court ready to hold that the First Amendment does not bar Congress from regulating political speech against incumbents.
There are four justices on the Supreme Court ready to hold that the Second Amendment does not create any individual rights against the government.
There are four justices on the Supreme Court ready to hold that the Commerce Clause creates no constraint on Congress’s regulatory powers.
There are likely at least four justices on the Supreme Court ready to hold that the government can choose to discriminate on the basis of race if “diversity” is at issue. [Actually, I think there are four votes willing to allow the government to use race for all sorts of purposes.]
One can point to individual unhappy results from Republican-appointed justices, but it is a mathematical certainty that Obama-appointed justices will flip the Court on these critical issues of the rights of individuals against the government—none more critical than First Amendment protection for political speech. Once that falls, the game is over and libertarians have lost permanently. This alone is a dispositive libertarian case for Romney, even before one gets to the difference between a Romney and Obama on economic freedom and regulation.
Certainly.
