……………………………………………………..
Dichotomy wrapped in a paradox.
We’ve become a dichotomy wrapped in a paradox – a contradiction wrapped in absurdity. Our government is dysfunctional. The great ideals on which our nation was founded starkly contrasts with what we see every day. We’ve been taught that there exist contrasting views between the pachyderms and jackasses. On rare occasion there is, but mostly on display is the absolute absurdity of the Washington establishment – the career politicians made wealthy by bribes and insider trading. They are so beholden to outside influences they have no time to attend to the business of Americans. They keep blabbering about saving our democracy. It’s something we don’t even have. Don’t let them fool you. If we were a true democracy questions like abortion and homosexual marriage would be put on the ballot for the voice of the people and not forced upon us by the 9 rulers of the earth. That’s why we are a republic, so every voice supposedly has a chance to be heard even if no one else likes it.
Exceptional Nation?
The United States of America. The world’s one exceptional nation founded on the principle of individual liberty. A Constitutional Republic. A government of the people, by the people, and for the people. I don’t know how to phonetically present a Bronx cheer, so mentally add one here. Our Constitution is in tatters. The people do not know what’s in it. Legislators ignore it. And the courts pretend it means whatever they want it to mean. A fine for not buying government insurance becomes a tax. Killing unborn children is a right that outweighs life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Sanctity of life? Government by the people? Oh, say can you see?
The Swamp.
I am sickened by the politics of Babylon on the Potomac. Especially their new legal standard where one must be exonerated by a two-year 35-million-dollar anal probe. Guilty until he or she can prove themselves innocent. Is this the new American way? These miscreants are either insane or truly believe the general public is gullible? Gullible enough or brain washed enough to traipse behind them down a road that ends freedom. Yes. Ends it. Ends America as she was conceived. Fundamentally and forever transformed. It isn’t just politicians and their paid political hacks doing damage to freedom. It’s also the humongous media megaphone that feeds their tripe daily into the heads of millions of Americans and keeps it spinning around in there in dizzying perpetuity. Even Fox News is beginning to show true colors.
