And they are right on!
The right is slammed by the left for maintaining the 'good ol' boy' networks and using govt to support their filthy rich corporate buddies by stealing from the American people through taxation. They say the banks favor the corporate wealthy and use the govt to advance their agenda, like constant wars where the players back both sides and make money hand over fist while eliminating competition through regulation on the business front, so the wealth stays among the wealthy, the poverty stays among the poor, and the middle class, where the majority of Americas human capital is found, is sapped of it's sustenance.
And they are right on!
Bill Clinton's idol:
"The argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies, one, perhaps, of the Right and the other of the Left, is a foolish idea acceptable only to the doctrinaire and academic thinkers. Instead, the two parties should be almost identical, so that the American people can "throw the rascals out" at any election without leading to any profound or extreme shifts in policy."
- Carrol Quigley, Tragedy and Hope
The argument can be, and has been made, that the above has been firmly entrenched in our so-called two party system.
Is there any doubt?
The Democrats and Republicans have run our government for the entire last century. Does anyone out there fail to recognize that either party, at any time, could've put up such a fight and brought such a case to the American people as to galvanize the country toward shackling the government back down to the Constitution?
Unfortunately that's a resounding YES!
Evidenced by the ease with which our media shapes the national debate, and the schools shape the thought of our youth, we have handed our individuality over to the politicians, our government, and licensed professionals. And we did it a long time ago.
Have a legal question? Call a lawyer, don't dare read the law for yourself.
Have a medical question? Call a doctor, don't dare research it for yourself.
Want your kids to get an education? Send them to school, you're not smart enough to teach them anything.
Want to buy something? Buy it on credit. Saving keeps liquid out of circulation thereby hurting the economy.
Just ask your local economist or bank, who up until recently, was more than willing to lend you the money. Better yet, use the equity in your home because that's what the professionals and media are telling you to do.
Buy now, pay later. That's the American Dream!
And all the while, who's working behind the scenes to make all of this possible? Why, it's the Democrats and the Republican who else?
So how do we tackle this on such a massive scale so as to educate ourselves and begin making the right decisions in our lives that not only benefit us, but those around us?
In my opinion it's simple. We learn about two things, and use those things to measure everything against, as we make our decisions in this election year. Likely THE most important election year in our national history.
Those two things are the...wait...three things.
The Declaration of Independence
The Constitution for the United States of America (if you can find one)
And the Communist Manifesto
Those three documents will teach us all we need to know to make the right decisions. That is if we believe ourselves to be Americans first and foremost, thus believing in American sovereignty, vs globalism and global citizenship. And if we have the individual spines, like we used to be known for.
And if you believe in Communism that's ok too.
It's supposed to be a free country right? And you're supposed to be able to exercise your beliefs per the first amendment. But Communists beware, using the first to justify your speech could make you an American...the very antithesis of your belief.
The purpose of learning these should be obvious. And once you know what your beliefs are, then you stand up and defend them. And that defense should be with the proper vocabulary so as NOT to confuse either your intentions, or your message.
The Declaration and Constitution are instruments for Capitalism.
The Manifesto is the instrument for Communism.
Those are the bedrock economic systems for the two ideologies. To understand them is to understand the fight mankind has fought since the beginning of civilized society. To understand them is to understand the history of Americas fight and stance for freedom, and the place it came from.
A capitalist is for freedom and a communist is for serfdom (slavery)
Politicians can easily be identified by their positions and their records, as to their ideology, IF we know and understand these two systems. But THAT is up to each and every one of us. If we choose to keep our heads in the sand for fear of knowledge and responsibility, we will wake up, and indeed probably already have, in the country our founders warned us about.
Jimmy Buffett wrote a song called "We Are the People Our Parents Warned Us About". As in many respects, he hit it right on the nose.
So as you're sorting out the issues this election year and trying to figure out who to vote for, Republicrat or Demican, remember:
"It's not who votes that counts, but who counts the votes" ~~~ Joseph Stalin
And:
"How fortunate for governments that the people they govern don't think." -- Adolph Hitler
If you're going to think, know what you're thinking about. This is too important NOT to. There are Capitalists and Communists in BOTH parties. We need to change the way we refer to these elected officials, from our city councils all the way up to that big red house...sorry...white house, and from the pundit to the radio host. We need to stop the political correctness and use this language every time we call in on a show, identify a candidate, interview a politician, report on them, etc. etc.
By referring to them by party, they shape the debate. By referring to them by beliefs, WE shape the debate. How long before we're educated enough to do that is all up to us. Lets hope it's sooner, rather than later.
