Does Your Vote Matter?

David Barton is a historian.  Historians tend to be conservative because historians observe actions and consequence in history.  That's why the older you get the more likely you are to become conservative.  In your lifetime you begin to see a correlation between your own actions and their consequences.  It isn't too difficult to relate that correlation to bigger issues and so you begin to compare events, actions, and consequences on the national, state and local levels.  So, let's look at what a historian has to say about American politics in the most recent elections and see if we can't apply a little wisdom to this election cycle.

I tried to add some helpful commentary.  These videos stand on their own.  Anything I would have added could only have taken away from their impact.  Do watch these, because they demonstrate the country's need for your participation in the process of electing our leaders.  They demonstrate the need for your influence on the leaders of this country.  They demonstrate the need for your influence in the press.  They demonstrate the need for your participation in public discourse.  They demonstrate the damage our natural tendency to withdraw from the crazies has had in the invasion of our media, our government, and our courts.
