If We Don't Vote 'Em Out, We'll Eventually Have to String 'Em Up

The loathsome elitist petty tyrants among us - of which Tom Vilsack is just one example - will never stop usurping our freedoms and way of life, ultimately permanently altering the character of America, until we forcibly remove them to the margins of society and render them powerless.

U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack told members of the National Restaurant Association on Monday that Americans need to “adjust” their tastes so that they like the kind of food the government believes they should eat—and “we have to make sure that what we do is create the appropriate transition.”

Throughout history and across the globe, societies have chosen to deal with those who would treat us as slaves to their own arrogance by stringing them up on a pole in the town square. We have a more humane alternative, which is to vote them out and deny them legislative or regulatory power over our lives. So that's what we need to do. Trust me, if we don't we'll wind up having to string 'em up down the road anyway. If we cherish our freedom that is.
