cdf,
America, as you state, has become an oligarchy. The Socialist ruling class
was created by uniting Democrats and the Republicans against the
populace. Working largely together, their staged “pillow fights” mostly
involve how to subjugate our people. Working together, they have done
their best to void the Bill of Rights and (using confiscatory taxation,
registration, regulation, and legislation) destroy our individuality,
self-determination, self-reliance, and hope for rewards based on effort and
personal achievement.
However, even after all their efforts, the power of our government is
much more economic and psychological than final. If America “comes
awake” we can vote the buggers out! But, we must be at least 5% to
10% as brave as our Founding Fathers.
Our Founding Fathers pledged their all to create a government
subservient to the people. All *we* have to do is vote. But, we must
vote for self-government rather than subservience, for freedom rather
than the current oligarchy.
Unfortunately, the main body of American voters is not prepared to do
that. Even those voters who recognize the truth and the danger, create
“wait ‘till next election” red-herrings to prevent America from experiencing
a new birth of freedom.
Let’s agree that the Democrats represent totalitarian rule and we must
fight them. No problem there.
However, we are told to vote for Republicans (rather than voting for
freedom) because the Republicans will then choose Supreme Court
Justices more to our liking. This fallacious argument totally ignores the
types of Constitutionalist judges who would be selected by the
Libertarians.
We are told to vote for Republicans because the Libertarians are not
“viable”. Libertarians are not “viable” because we vote for the Republican
wing of the Democrat/Republican oligarchy. We dare not vote Libertarian
because not enough people vote Libertarian so we dare not vote
Libertarian, etc. etc. I believe this circular reasoning is the single greatest
proof that we are doomed to subservience.
Politicians refuse to represent a bunch of hesitant rebels; therefore
freedom can not attract a champion - (if you prefer) a “viable” candidate.
George, there are many guillotines and they currently are controlled by
our government. The guillotines of directives, Executive Orders,
regulations and laws are largely designed to politically disempower our
populace. And we, as a nation, continue to vote out of fear and select the
“lesser evil”.
Unless and until Americans vote for what is right, rather than supporting
only what is “less wrong”, we will continue our slippery slide into
totalitarianism.
