Dichotomy wrapped in a paradox.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve become a dichotomy wrapped in a paradox \u2013 a contradiction wrapped in absurdity.\u00a0 Our government is dysfunctional.\u00a0 The great ideals on which our nation was founded starkly contrasts with what we see every day.\u00a0 We\u2019ve been taught that there exist contrasting views between the pachyderms and jackasses.\u00a0 On rare occasion there is, but mostly on display is the absolute absurdity of the Washington establishment \u2013 the career politicians made wealthy by bribes and insider trading.\u00a0\u00a0 They are so beholden to outside influences they have no time to attend to the business of Americans.\u00a0 They keep blabbering about saving our democracy.\u00a0 It\u2019s something we don\u2019t even have.\u00a0 Don\u2019t let them fool you.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 That\u2019s why we are a republic, so every voice supposedly has a chance to be heard even if no one else likes it.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exceptional Nation?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The United States of America.\u00a0 The world\u2019s one exceptional nation founded on the principle of individual liberty.\u00a0 A Constitutional Republic.\u00a0 A government of the people, by the people, and for the people.\u00a0 I don\u2019t know how to phonetically present a Bronx cheer, so mentally add one here.\u00a0 Our Constitution is in tatters.\u00a0 The people do not know what\u2019s in it.\u00a0 Legislators ignore it.\u00a0 And the courts pretend it means whatever they want it to mean.\u00a0 A fine for not buying government insurance becomes a tax.\u00a0 Killing unborn children is a right that outweighs life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.\u00a0 Sanctity of life?\u00a0\u00a0 Government by the people?\u00a0 Oh, say can you see?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Swamp.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am sickened by the politics of Babylon on the Potomac.\u00a0 Especially their new legal standard where one must be exonerated by a two-year 35-million-dollar anal probe.\u00a0 Guilty until he or she can prove themselves innocent.\u00a0 Is this the new American way?\u00a0 These miscreants are either insane or truly believe the general public is gullible?\u00a0 Gullible enough or brain washed enough to traipse behind them down a road that ends freedom.\u00a0 Yes.\u00a0 Ends it.\u00a0 Ends America as she was conceived.\u00a0 Fundamentally and forever transformed.\u00a0 It isn\u2019t just politicians and their paid political hacks doing damage to freedom.\u00a0 It\u2019s 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.\u00a0 Even <\/em>Fox News<\/em><\/a> is beginning to show true colors. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
