The Countdown to Freedom

The Countdown to Freedom starts here.  With the election closing in and "The One" leading in the polls, we may be headed to a very dark time in our country's history.

In my mind, this election battle has never been about color or gender, this has been about freedom.  When the election race first began, I thought Obama was a decent option for the office of President, however the more I read and heard, the more I realized that he is not even close. 

When I began to focus on the Republican race, I initially supported Romney,  unfortunately, he was out of the race by the time it came to my state. In the early days of the general campaign, McCain would get my vote by default, but as I read more about him and his policies, I became an ardent supporter of him and Sarah Palin. 

Now with the race winding down and tonight being the last debate, I am cautiously hopeful that McCain will be able to pull a win from behind victory, thus preserving our freedoms for at least another four years. 

With all of the information discussed and NOT discussed about Barak Obama, it is not far fetched to think that many of our freedoms that we enjoy today, will become a thing of the past, to this I am afraid of what our future will become.

For the first time in my life, I am looking at buying a gun. I have never been in favor of owning a gun, always afraid of that unbridled power just a arms length away. Statistics show that most gun deaths come from with in the family home. That being said, in the times to come, not owning a gun to protect those rights that my father's fathers shed their blood for would be irresponsible of me as an American citizen, in my opinion.  

I am a proud American and believe there is no country on the face of this earth that is any better. I am willing to fight for the heritage of our country, the legacy of freedom, for my children and theirs to follow.

Debate in five and a half hours.

Go Get Em McCain.
