But in refuse to let you call me a Nazi or a little Nazi just because I'm not sore that my guy, Santorum, didn't get the nomination.

It's ridiculous to keep supporting these two parties. And the fear mongering is NOT of God. You as a pastor shouldn't be perpetuating this fear mongering.
We should be working toward getting the Constitution Party more viable for future ballots by getting them a 5% win. It puts them on future ballots and changes the political winds forever. That is the goal we should be pursuing if we are, indeed, calling ourselves patriots and wanting to save our country.
Both of these candidate are big government. You can throw up banners like Romney is the next thing to sliced bread, it's a bunch of bull.
The fact is, this election is not even about third parties that may or may not have a chance at 'success'. This election is about YOU. Who are you? For what do you stand? In what do you believe?
Duopoly sets the stage for a false choice in order to perpetuate oligarchy, yet it is not the oligarchs who rule; rather it is your acquiescence to their machinations that subjugates you. You are a sovereign, you have your vote, you have the chains of the Constitution by which to bind the men to whom you lend power. Yet, many of our country men prefer to fight amongst themselves and choose the lesser evil. Liberty cannot long live with spurious choices that lead to evil in any degree. Liberty is a good proposition and it requires a good vote FOR something. For what will you vote? You can vote for liberty or you can vote for oligarchy. The one liberates, the other subjugates and you will be held to account for your choice. Choose wisely.
"Is there no virtue among us? If there isn't, we are in a wretched situation. No theoretical checks-no form of government can render us secure. To suppose that any form of government will secure liberty or happiness without any virtue in the people, is a chimerical idea, if there be sufficient virtue and intelligence in the community, it will be exercised in the selection of these men. So that we do not depend on their virtue, or put confidence in our rulers, but in the people who are to choose them." --James Madison
