The Politicians, The Media, and The Voters

As a staunch Reagan Constitutional Conservative Tea Party person, and a retired US Military person after 21 yrs of service, I am of the opinion and stand against supporting and voting for Mr Obama lite GOP establishment Progressive Republican elitist RINO Romney, in any shape or form, just to appease the appeasers and “go alongers” of liberal progressivism, that the general public likes to think is good.

Ronald Reagan and Reagan Conservatism is what got us out of the Carter Catastrophic malaise and stagflationary recession of the 1970′s, and gave us decades of economic, political, and social prosperity..  NOT the liberal lite progressivism of the GOP RINO establishment.

Of course, when one is as liberal policy minded as the Romney-ite loyalists are, let alone the Independents whom all believe that compromise and appeasement is the best way to deal with the radical hard left, the facts and truth about Romney’s liberal record and agenda actually seems conservative to them.  So it doesn’t surprise me when one someone starts their view point from the far left Mass moderate RINO progressive liberal position, instead of the US Constitutional “Right” of the Founding Fathers, that they naturally think anyone who actually believes in Individual Freedom and Liberty, the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights, Conservative Values and Principles of fiscal, financial, and political constraints of limited govt, etc, are just crazy Reagan Conservative Tea Party people.

In the words of President Ronald Reagan- “There you go again”

Romney’s past as Gov of Mass., reflects what Romney will be in the future as President, as he has never veered away from what he was and what he is now. He is a liberal progressive, as he has so publically stated, along with his record as Gov. Thus he has never shown any ability, willingness, or propensity whatsoever to be either conservative in thought, policy, or action, ever.

As a Conservative, let alone as a Republican RINO, how does one defend a Ted Kennedy collaborated forced mandated substandard inferior State Socialized Medicine that bankrupts the residents, citizens, and Independent businesses and companies in the Free Market Capitalist Free Enterprise system of a State, let alone the Nation, but then turns around and argues that he must repeal Obamacare, the very same thing he implemented and refuses to refute and repeal in his own State called Romneycare.

And people actually buy this BS horse manure.. And People actually believe everything and anything Romney shovels them.. It’s no wonder why Obama was elected in the first place.

Mr. Mass. Liberal Progressive RINO Romeny’s record as Mass Gov. clearly shows that Romney supported gun control, gay rights, liberal activist judges, inferior substandard socialized state medicine, tax hikes, every asinine kooky global warming cap and trade policy, and just about every other stupid, budget busting liberal progressive idea that came down the Mass pike.

The Truth speaks for itself, and all the Romney GOP Progressive Republican RINO propaganda and delusional denial by all the progressive RINO Romney-ites in the world cannot hide it, let alone makes taste any better. For all intents and purposes, Romney should be Obama’s running mate.

Romney will be another Herbert Hoover, and will of down just like Herbert Hoover, thus destroy whatever is left of the Republican Party, along with America as only a Progressive Republican Party RINO can do. Thus this will only ensure the survival of the Democratic Party, and more Obama’s elected in the future. But of course people never listen to the historical facts of record, just like 2008, but only what they want to hear and believe.

It’s now very clear that this country is definitely headed in the wrong direction, from both sides of the political aisle. But ultimately, it is the people who share in this responsibility in a democratically elected Republic like ours, as they must also be responsible for their own actions as the people who elected these politicians- ie; Obama and or Romney, into power and office in the first place. Unfortunately, there are far too many liberal GOP establishment progressive RINO’s, than there are Reagan Conservatives

This is why we have consequences of elections when the wrong person is elected to high office in the first place, let alone again..

The forces of anti-American, anti-Constitutional liberal socialist-marxism and liberal progressive Republicanism is all around us, as they constantly incessantly together beat down the Patriotic Constitutional Conservative Tea Party folks and movement that represents the American Individual, along Individual Freedom and Liberty, that is embodied in the US Constitution itself.

This is reality, not some historical incident that once happened long ago.. We the people are now in the struggle and fight of our very existence and our future generation’s very existence. So the wise men of our time like Mark Levin, are warning the American people of this, but will they listen and heed the warnings, or will they not.. Just like the ancient Greeks who did not listen to Socrates, or the ancient Romans who did not listen to Marcus Tullius Cicero..

Will the American people submit to govt statist utopian slavery, over Constitutional Freedom and Liberty, and relinquish their hold as the higher power in the Nation. Well only time will tell, but it does not look good, as the election of Romney is telling us..

Mr Mass. Liberal Progressive RINO’s record as Mass Gov. clearly shows that Romney supported gun control, gay rights, liberal activist judges, inferior substandard socialized state medicine, tax hikes, every asinine kooky global warming cap and trade policy, and just about every other stupid, budget busting liberal progressive idea that came down the Mass pike. For all intents and purposes, Romney should be Obama’s running mate.

It’s now very clear that this country is definitely headed in the wrong direction, from both sides of the political aisle. But ultimately, it is the people who share in this responsibility in a democratically elected Republic like ours, as they must also be responsible for their own actions as the people who elected these politicians- ie; Obama and or Romney, into power and office in the first place. Unfortunately, there are far too many liberal GOP establishment progressive RINO’s, than there are Reagan Conservatives.

Thus this is now about the people’s ability, or inability, to discern the differences, problems, and issues at hand, facing what we are now faced with, and then adequately make the right decisions at the ballot box.

If the mass populace of America is determined to go into a state of constant delusional denial, and keep running into the same brick wall of stupidity, apathy, and indifference, just like their choosing of Obama in 2008, a radical progressive liberal, they now choose instead a moderate progressive liberal GOP Republican establishment RINO elitist, aka Obama lite Mitt Romney, then the Constitutional Republic Nation of America is in more peril than we thought, as no Nation can stay Free and Independent when both sides of the political coin are liberally destructive. The left is a cancerous toxic ideology, and as history has shown can and will completely destroy a civilized society of Freedom, Liberty, Democracy, and the Truth in a blink of an eye.

That’s their choice, but in so doing will unfortunately continue the same old destructive liberal dead end brick wall policies of the past 3 and a half years, which means the continued rapid decline of America as a force of Freedom, Liberty, and Democracy is an assured prospect, and not just inside America, but the free world as a whole is affected as well, as our US National Security is also the world’s international security against the forces of evil, tyranny, and oppression.

This is why I believe that the Republican Party no longer represents the voice and will of “The People”,  thus we must create a new major political party to challenge the Republican Party, if not completely replace the Republican Party, that is supposed to be the opposition party, but no longer fulfils that duty. It’s time for the Republican Party to go out of existence, and of course all the progressive RINO’s would all join the Democratic Party officially, and once this happens, it would be a great thing to get rid of all the liberal progressive RINO deadwood in the Party.

The anti-American liberal Socialist-Marxists cannot change the mindsets and attitude of the people without indoctrinating propaganda tools, and the people to implement them, and is why the far left has concentrated all of their people in the field of media outlets like Journalism, entertainment, aka Hollywood, and especially the Academic Institutions like Harvard, and of course the Judicial Bench and Political offices at every level of  govt- local, County, City, State, Federal, etc..

That’s the only way they can take over the Nation’s politics, is by brainwashing the people into believing that Individual Freedom and Liberty, Democracy and the US Constitution are bad and wrong, and that an all powerful govt is the only way, in the name of the people. Isn’t that what the former USSR was all about, the deception and lies in the name of the people.. and the people suffered for 70 years of brutality, oppression, labor camps, torture, and murder, because of it.. And they want you to believe that that was all a rumor.

The left is a cancerous toxic ideology, and as history has shown, can and will completely destroy a civilized society of Freedom, Liberty, Democracy, and the Truth, in a blink of an eye.

There is one component ingredient  not addressed, the infiltration of leftwing agenda, policies, and people into the Republican Party, aka RINO’s.

If there is one thing the liberals like more than a Democrat in power, it’s 2 Democrats in power..  In other words, when the candidate on either side of the political race, is of the same stripes, and agenda, then it’s a win-win situation either way for the liberal agenda.

The liberal moderate GOP RINO establishment hates Constitutional Conservatives like Ronald Reagan, who could not be bought or corrupted.

The GOP Republican Party is NOT an ideology, it is a political party, and those who are it’s vanguard like Boehner, Cantor, Romney, Christie, the Bush’s, etc., pay homage to the Republican Party first, and the US Constitution second or third down the list, whereas the Reagan Constitutional Conservatives like President Reagan and Sen. Jim DeMint put the US Constitution and Individual Freedom and Liberty first and foremost, and the political party second. That’s the real main difference.

This why there is a split in the Republican party, the standard bearing GOP Republican Party establishment,  and the Reagan Constitutional Conservative Tea Party people.  This is where the Conservative and liberal progressive political line has been drawn in these 2 factions of the Republican Party.

The Tea Party represents the Will of the People and the US Constitution, not the Will of the crony politicians and their political party establishment RINO will.. and that is why Republican Party RINO crony capitalists like Romney and Christie are backed by the GOP establishment Republican Party.

And now, like a bad dream coming to reality, the people who voted for Obama, are the same people with the same mentality and attitude of apathy and indifference to what and who they are electing, are the same people voting for Romney, which is what got them into this mess in the first place.

So, in the context of being a conservative, this question is for Romney and his GOP RINO drone establishment supporters-

How does one defend forced mandated substandard inferior State Socialized Medicine that bankrupts the residents, citizens, and Independent businesses and companies in the Free Market Capitalist Free Enterprise system of a State, let alone the Nation, but then turns around and argues that he must repeal Obamacare, the very same thing he implemented and refuses to refute and repeal in his own State called Romneycare.. And the people actually buy this BS horse manure..

It’s no wonder why Obama was elected in the first place. How easily the people are fooled.. They want to replace one radical progressive liberal, with a moderate progressive liberal.. Well, that makes sense.. No it doesn’t..

What this means is that with the election of Romney, there will be no real change from the liberal agenda, only the person at the helm will be different, but the direction will be the same. Like Liberals Jews who actually are defeating their own race, religion, and State of Nation Israel, intentionally or unintentionally, for some perverse Freudian Psychological reason to be accepted by their enemies, the Republican electorate, aka so called moderate Republicans, as well as Independents, are choosing the same path as Obama, but because the person has an “R” next to their name, believe that they are the opposite of Obama and the Democratic Party of Progressive Liberalism. How truly wrong and stupid they are, as they drive the Constitutional Freedom and Liberty car straight off the cliff.

Propaganda is a major tool used by the far left, and is why the far left has concentrated all of their people in the field of media outlets like Journalism, entertainment, aka Hollywood, and Academic Institutions like Harvard, and of course the Judicial Bench and Political offices at every level of  govt- local, County, City, State, Federal, etc..

They cannot change the mindsets and attitude of the people without these indoctrinating propaganda tools. That’s the only way they can take over the Nation’s politics, is by brainwashing the people into believing that Individual Freedom and Liberty, Democracy and the US Constitution are bad and wrong, and that an all powerful govt is the only way, in the name of the people. Isn’t that what the former USSR was all about, the deception and lies in the name of the people.. and the people suffered for 70 years of brutality, oppression, labor camps, torture, and murder, because of it.. And they want you to believe
that that was all a rumor.

Liberals use the pretense of tolerance and inclusiveness as a ruse to be intolerant, controlling, and even violent to anyone they wish to, and pretend that the law is only what they say it is, and is only applied to who and what and when they say it does, excluding them of course.

Their fraudulent and delusionary world of illogic, irrational, and erroneous and arrogant views, is all based and derived from their ideology of liberal anti-Democratic anti-Freedom Socialist-Marxism, and anything that promotes and aligns with them and that view, like islamic muslim extremism, they embrace and are partners with. In other words, everything is politically motivated, and nothing is out of limits, voter fraud, riots, intimidation, threats, and even murder.

They will always be the aggressor, the instigator, aka the problem. Thus is why conservatives will always be the defender of Freedom and Liberty, of Equal Justice, of the US Constitution, of Democracy, and of Truth and Righteousness.

The left is a cancerous toxic ideology, and can and will completely destroy a civilized society of Freedom, Liberty, Democracy, and the Truth, in a blink of an eye.

The only way to deal with these people, especially when they use their radical leftist Saul Alinsky tactics and strategies of denigration, polarization, ridicule, mockery, smearing, false accusations, aka lies, etc, in coordinated media attacks, is to hit them hard and fast with the truth, and constantly, and articulately, and precisely, from all sides and at immediately. This is our, the Conservatives best weapon, and will always be our weapon.

Note, when I say we, the Conservatives, that does not includes the GOP RINO establishment, as they are as complicit with the far left by always being silent about anything and everything the far left says and does. They are no friends of the Conservative movement and cause. If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem.

 ”Let us be sure that those who come after

You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we will sentence them to take the first step into a thousand years of darkness. If we fail, at least let our children and our children’s children say of us we justified our brief moment here. We did all that could be done.”

Freedom … must be fought for, protected, and handed on for [our children] to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children, what it was once like where men were free.

There can be no real peace while one American is dying some place in the world for the rest of us. We’re at war with the most dangerous enemy that has ever faced mankind … and … if we lose that war, and in so doing lose this way of freedom of ours, history will record … that those who had the most to lose did the least to prevent its happening.”

As I contemplate on the life and man named Andrew Breitbart, and the everlasting effects that he has had on us all, I just want pay my most deepest respects to the man who gave and lead the army of conservative average citizens, a voice of example by which to emulate and follow in this world of insidious corruption, intolerance, hatred, and evil.

Andrew Breitbart was a fearless American Patriot, a combination of Patrick Henry and Paul Revere, whose likes cannot be replaced, as Andrew Breitbart went where wise men dare not go, into the liberal lions den of corruption, lies, propaganda, deceit, and utter hatred and contempt for The People, Individual Freedom, Liberty, and the U.S. Constitution, and he fought them fearlessly, and won !

He was truly a once in a lifetime patriotic American conservative General among Generals, who lead by example, of which he always did first. In other words, when Andrew saw an unjust, biased, corrupt firestorm, he didn’t runaway from it, he ran straight into it, confronted it and fought them directly one on one, or one against the mob, never veering away even once, nor did he even hesitate for a second, and never backed off his fight for Truth in what he called his “Self-Righteous Indignation” to expose them all for what they really were..  and for all America to see what was Good and Right and the Truth.  This he did in and of everything he stood for- his values and principles for which he displayed tremendous courage of conviction in the face of evil.  And the weapons he used were only the Truth, Freedom, Liberty, his computer and the internet.

I can only hope that I, and all the other Tea Party Reagan Conservatives, keep the Andrew Breitbart fight against injustice and media bias for the rest of our lives, as Andrew would have done with the same continued devoted passion.

I send my most sincerest condolences to the Breitbart Family, in this most tragic of hours. I pray for the Family.

Rest in Peace Andrew Breitbart

We already have Medicare and Medi-Caid for those people who can’t afford healthcare. What Conservatives want is the Free Market private sector to solve the healthcare insurance for the Nation’s people, like Blue Cross, Blue Shield, Kaiser, etc.. which puts the financial and fiscal responsibility cost in the private sector’s hands, and not on the backs of the American Tax Payer, and NOT Socialist-Marxist govt forced mandated coercion and manipulation, which is in actuality, a direct attack against the U.S. Constitution of Individual Freedom and Liberty, by denying  Freedom of Choice itself.

Liberal Statists love all powerful govt control over everything, in every aspect of everyone’s lives. That’s why liberals love federally instituted forced mandated State Socialized Medicine programs. What it does, is take over and goes where the all powerful Federal Commerce Clause can’t go.

This is what Obamacare is all about- total govt control to tax and regulate and control everything  and everyone in America, which means they have to usurp and nullify the U.S. Constitution to do so.  This is their ultimate goal.

“Obama Mulls 80 Percent Disarmament of Nuclear Arsenal” - Tuesday, 14 Feb 2012 – NewsMax.com

Obama is not an American Patriot. He is anti-American, and believes that America is the problem of all the worlds ills. Thus he is intentionally trying to destroy America, piece by piece, little by little, bankrupting us economically, with massive unsustainable US National debt and deficits, sabotaging our US energy supply and production of Oil, Gas, and Coal, gutting out / hollowing out our US Military deterrent strength, by way of it’s military defense budget, technologies, and resources, and especially our nuclear missiles, and their delivery systems, along with our nuclear warheads themselves, putting the U.S. at an extremely weak disadvantage, weakening our capability of waging a 2 or even 3 front war, against Russia, China, Iran at the same time. And I thought Jimmy Carter was bad..

Caroline Glick from her article “America’s Descent into Strategic Dementia”- Mar 21st 2011

quote-

“Since taking office, Obama has made clear that he views the US as an imperialist power on the world stage. As a result, the overarching goal of Obama’s foreign policy has been to end US global hegemony.

Obama looks to the UN as a vehicle for tethering the US superpower. He views US allies in the Middle East and around the world with suspicion because he feels that as US allies, they are complicit with US imperialism.”

-unquote-

Ultimately, this comes down to the dangers of what consequences elections can have in a Free Democratic Representative Republic, when the people choose to be led by the media, and other hearsay outlets, instead of being independent, knowledgeable, and intelligent enough to know who not to vote for.. In other words, who would in their right mind, ever vote for an Anti-American Liberal Socialist-Marxist bent on the intentional destruction of their own country, economically, politically, socially, and militarily for their national leader, is beyond all comprehension and logic and common sense. Unfortunately, they still have not learned yet, the extent and results of Obama’s goals and agenda that lay in store for America and our allies like Israel and the free western world.

Complacency, Ignorance, and Indifference, breeds Apathy and Stupidity, then Disaster.

Winston Churchill:

“If the past sits in judgment on the present, the future will be lost.”

Romney is not only a liberal politician, but he is truly a political pariah.. He runs his politics, like he ran Bain Capital.

Romney and Obama are more alike than Hillary and Obama.. thus, this is worse than could have ever have been imagined for all the Conservative Reagan Tea Party folks, not to mention the Nation.

Romney tries to cut off Newt’s SuperPAC funding- legalinsurrection.com- quote-

“The big story was the revelation in the NY Times that the Romney campaign, both directly and through Jewish emissaries, has been trying to convince Sheldon Adelson to cut off further funding of a pro-Newt SuperPAC:

“Sheldon Adelson, the billionaire casino executive keeping Newt Gingrich’s presidential hopes alive, has relayed assurances to Mitt Romney that he will provide even more generous support to his candidacy if he becomes the Republican nominee, several associates said in interviews here.

The assurances have been conveyed in response to a highly delicate campaign by Mr. Romney and his top Jewish financial supporters to dissuade Mr. Adelson from adding to the 10 million dollars that he and his wife have given to a pro-Gingrich “super PAC,” Winning Our Future, that has been tearing into Mr. Romney through television advertising.”

Remember, John Sununu all but threatened Mr. Adelson with retribution, so of course Mr. Adelson wants to maintain good relations with the Romney campaign.

Romney apparently is deeply hurt by the negative ads the SuperPAC has been running with Adelson’s funding:

“A friend of Mr. Romney’s, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said Mr. Romney did not begrudge Mr. Adelson’s initial $5 million donation to the pro-Gingrich group, given Mr. Adelson’s known loyalty. But Mr. Romney was said to have been deeply stung by a second $5 million donation, from Mr. Adelson’s wife, Miriam. And the group’s harsh attacks against Mr. Romney were said to have upset Mr. Romney’s wife, Ann, though his aides said she was inured to them.”

You have got to be kidding me.  It’s not enough for Romney to outspend Newt several times over, he has to try to cut off Newt’s funding?  And if true that he’s personally hurt, then that’s pretty rich considering the vicious personal demonization of Newt by Romney and his surrogates since Iowa.”

Why is it, and how is it, with an anti-Obama electoral atmosphere so high, from his ultra liberal socialist policies, that have all but bankrupted the nation.. why in heaven would anyone in the Conservative Republican voting public, would want to elect Romney, whose policies are almost exactly the same as Obama’s, almost to verbatim.  Why..

This is the troubling question that seems to be so troubling, as the reason and logic of it, just escapes any and all reason and logic.  

In other words, it make absolutely no sense at all.. It’s the same as saying Hillary would be better for the nation, because she is Hillary, regardless of her exact same political policies and ideological philosophy. Just like Romney and his liberal socialist policies and agenda, which are all on public record for all to see, but the media refuses to report on.. It just make absolutely no sense whatsoever.. 

It’s not their words so much, as their actions of public record, not their public persona and perception, which is opposite of the truth. Romney created and signed into law, a forced mandated State Socialized Medicine program, aka, Romneycare, before there was even an Obama and Obamacare.. 
 
Newt stopped the very same State Socialized Medicine program in the 1990′s called Hillarycare, under Bill Clinton.. not to mention Newt balanced the Federal Budget 3 years in a row, also forcing Bill Clinton to reform welfare, as well as cut taxes across the board, lowered govt. spending, and so on..
 
So, why would anyone believe that Romney would repeal Obamacare, because he said so..  They are is so naive and gullible, it’s almost laughable,, if it weren’t so tragic.  Well, I guess if you have enough money and the political machinery behind you, you can deceive anyone, . How easily the majority of the voters can be fooled, as evidenced with Obama, and now Romney. 
 
If one were to look at Newt’s record compared to what the GOP establishment and Romney’s SuperPAC has created, the opposite is true.
 
Newt’s actual record to his public persona, he is actually conservative and a great leader, just different in his style and tact, who has accomplished so much for this nation, second only to Ronald Reagan.

Obama, Pelosi, Reid, and the rest of the liberal establishment, and that includes the RINO’s, are typical liberals, who uses typical indoctrinated leftist ideological dogmatic reasoning tactics to justify, not only themselves, but to everyone else, what is good and bad”, “right and wrong”, in their eyes, mind, thought, and most importantly- actions.

To them, right and wrong, good and bad, depends on which side of the political coin it falls on..  Thus, the hypocrisy of it all, is to them meaningless..

The same indoctrinated ideological tactics are employed by the extreme militant religious leaders in the arab islamic muslim world, to justify their extreme intolerance, hatred, bigotry,  and even murder, or evil itself, as long as it’s in the name of their cause.

In human civilized society in and a of Judeo-Christian western culture, dictates that crimes of murder and such, are not just illegal according to the laws of the nation, but are unjust and immoral in the humanity laws of human kind. But in their world, they can justify any types of injustice, as long as do it by ideological political interpretation.. This is most evident in Holder’s DOJ under Obama..  As racial social justice is the perfect example of their belief in their cause, regardless of the actual wrongness about it.

Thus, all they do is move the base of reference of what is considered good and bad, right and wrong..  Just like the terrorists, rogue dictators, and other hate organizations, as long as they base it upon their ideological interpretation. This is how dangerous elected officials have become, in a Democratic Republic like America.

This is the insidious coercion and manipulation of people, by and of elected politicians like Obama, from the people who elected them into power and authority, to dictate every aspect of control in the people’s lives, public or private, in the name of, aka, a ruse, of promoting the people’s welfare and betterment of society. This is what is called and coined by Dr. Lawrence Sellin- “Our Elected despotism”..

This happens when the people do not stop it, and allow them to continue this, and even to become part of it, until the end result is complete removal of all rights and authority that the people have ever had been vested in, by whatever structured govt limitations were in place that dictated the restricted rules of govt., aka, the U.S. Constitution, thus they have made this governing body document completely irrelevant, and no longer determines what should, let alone what actually does happen.

This is their ultimate goal, the complete divestiture of the people as the controlling factor in a govt. So, now the old saying comes to reality- When the govt fears the people, there is Liberty, when the people fear the govt. there is Tyranny.

As quoted from Mr. Alexander Solzhenitsyn, a former Soviet Union political prisoner of conscience-

“Equivalence is the essence of Moral Relativism“- The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy defines moral relativism as something that one accuses another of, rather than something to which one proudly admits.

Quote: “The rise of Moral Relativism, whereby equivalence and mediocrity (or outright evil) trumps value and quality continues to be the grim reaper of our national life.”

The Freedom and Liberty against Tyranny of Corruption and Despotism alarm bells are sounding loud and clear..  Will you not take up arms against it, and defend your Country,  your Constitution, and your Rights, Freedoms, and Liberties, and those of your future generations.

“Our Elective Despotism” by Lawrence Sellin January 31, 2012

There are many things obvious to ordinary Americans that cannot be mentioned publicly in the polite political company of the Republican and Democratic establishments or among their press agents in the mainstream media, who obligingly pirouette around the truth.

For example, both the Republican and Democratic establishments are composed of hopelessly corrupt, procrastinating control freaks, who seek fame and fortune through over-spending money they didn’t earn and enthusiastically crushing any spontaneous outbreaks of democracy among U.S. citizens, for example, the Tea Party.

Thomas Jefferson warned us of the danger of “elective despotism:”

“They should look forward to a time, and that not a distant one, when a corruption in this, as in the country from which we derive our origin, will have seized the heads of government, and be spread by them through the body of the people; when they will purchase the voices of the people, and make them pay the price. Human nature is the same on every side of the Atlantic, and will be alike influenced by the same causes. The time to guard against corruption and tyranny, is before they shall have gotten hold of us. It is better to keep the wolf out of the fold, than to trust to drawing his teeth and talons after he shall have entered.”

Unfortunately, the wolf is already in the fold.

Taking the rhetoric up a notch from Jefferson, Israeli historian J. L. Talmon coined the term “totalitarian democracy,” a political system in which lawfully elected representatives rule a nation state whose citizens, although granted the right to vote, have little or no participation in the decision-making process of government.

If you do not think the United States has become an elective despotism, think again.

One of the most honest and courageous members of Congress in decades, Rep. Allen West (R-FL), is about to become a sacrificial lamb of the collusion between the Republican and Democratic establishments in the state of Florida.

And what is West’s crime? He is an independent thinker and a rising star of the Tea Party movement.

The Republican establishment hates the Tea Party because it has the audacity to suggest that American citizens should have a voice in their government.

Led by Mitt Romney’s spokesman, Representative Will Weatherford, the Republican legislature in Florida is about to push through a re-districting plan, which would redraw the boundaries of Allen West’s 22nd Congressional District to include far more registered Democrats and put West at an even larger disadvantage than he was previously.

Under elective despotism, the government is transformed from one based on traditional values, articles of faith and the support of individual liberty into one in which social utility and political expediency take absolute precedence.

Having no allegiance to the principles upon which America was founded, Barack Obama, aided and abetted by the political establishments and the mainstream media, is in the process of dismantling our Constitution and fulfilling his promise to radically transform the country.

In his State of the Union address, President Obama did not present a plan for restoring America, he left a suicide note.  Obama, the Democrats and their allies in the mainstream media are in the final stages of a self-destruct sequence, while the Republican establishment passively sits by America’s deathbed watching President Kevorkian deliver the poison.

Mitt Romney, the chosen one intended to bring balance to the Republican Force, touts his business experience as a credential for the presidency. Unfortunately, political, not business decisions are made in Washington, D.C., and those decisions are no longer constrained by the Constitution and the rule of law.

It is corruption of our political system, not just financial corruption that is the single, most important issue of the 2012 election.

The arrogance of political establishment has only gotten more brazen since 1993, when Lewis H. Lapham (“A Wish for Kings”) wrote:

“The politicians dress up the deals in the language of law or policy, but they’re in the business of brokering the tax revenue, and what keeps them in office is not their talent for oratory but their skill at redistributing the national income in a way that rewards their clients, patrons, friends and campaign contributors.”

Examples of the corrupt status quo:

- More than 50 percent of the members of the U.S. Congress are millionaires.

- The median wealth of a U.S. Senator in 2009 was 2.38 million dollars.

- Insider trading is legal for members of the U.S. Congress — and they refuse to pass a law that would change that.

- The percentage of millionaires in Congress is more than 50 times higher than the percentage of millionaires in the general population.

Regarding the crisis of our current national debt, put simply, unconstrained spending by the government is the product of unconstrained corruption in the government.

Here is another political heresy: the emperor has no college records. 

Yes, I have the temerity to believe that Barack Hussein Obama should be thoroughly vetted before the 2012 election.

We know far more details about Gingrich’s marriages, Romney’s mutual funds, Paul’s prehistoric newsletters and the voting block made up of Santorum’s children than a bare minimum of facts that we need to know about the current Occupier of the Oval Office. 

The time has come for the American people to commit political blasphemy by showing a healthy irreverence towards the political establishment and the status quo.

“Cowardice asks the question ‘Is it safe?’  Expediency asks the question ‘Is it politic?’  But conscience asks the question, ‘Is it right?’  And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but because conscience tells one it is right.”-Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
