Perhaps we sat the election out because we found no fundamental difference between the candidates. Both support NDAA. Both support the Patriot Act. Neither supports a fully transparent audit of the Federal Reserve System. ...and on and on.
I think what it comes down to, at least for me, is that both parties bring forth no representatives (assuming they have any) who understand the Locke inspired Jeffersonian philosophy of Natural Law that informed our Constitution and served as the foundation on which this nation was built, defining the proper role of government. There are no representatives who can articulately convey independent, cogent thought. We are sick to death of empty rhetoric and platitudes. … (Deliberately) Divisive hyperbole. And being told repeatedly by a bought and paid for media that this insipid fare is what matters to us, as if should they repeat it enough we’ll become so inured that we stop thinking for ourselves and sit up and clap on cue like trained seals.
At the end of the day we are left with representatives across both sides of the fence that are ineffective, inefficient, either too dim to recognize the paradigm they are caught fast in, or in collusion with it. Both sides have betrayed the Constitution, and in so doing, us, our history, and the future.
We are starving for something more than the sales slogans that are spoon fed to us. We long for someone who understands the Federal Reserve printing money DOES devalue our currency. That we DO see the effects of that in inflation. That policing the world IS unsustainable. That borrowing money from China to GIVE to Libya (or any other country) defies any definition of sanity. That even should we tax the rich at 100%, it will NOT get us out of this hole. That this hole we are in WAS NOT created by Obama, Bush, Clinton, or Reagan. It is the product of DECADES of malfeasance.
Wow, that was way too much of a rant. I’m sorry. I guess what it boils down to is that I am sick to death of being played for a fool by representatives who possess neither integrity nor intellect. I cannot listen to another moment of a media so poorly disguised as objective and thoughtful. I can no longer play into the hands of what I can only define as evil.
