The real choice in this election is whether we are going to be a republic or an empire. If we go out and get involved militarily in every ridiculous conflict anywhere in the world, we are going to be an empire, and cease being a republic. That is the lesson of history, and the lesson of the Bush administration. Under McCain, this is exactly what we will do. Under Obama, we will be more restrained, and there is an outside chance that we will remain as a republic for a bit longer. So that’s why, after a long struggle with myself, I switched to Obama after Ron Paul dropped out. My vote may, ultimately, make a difference, and Obama is by far the more libertarian candidate.
