Of course they are public servants, thats not the point. Its a numbers game, they want to get elected and they’ll do whatever it takes to get the votes. If you aren’t going to vote then they’ll pay attention to someone who does.
You are disregarding the fact that it is a two way street. If they won’t do the job we want them to do, we’ll hire someone who will. Presently, we have too many people willing to compromise the U.S. Constitution and their own sovereignty into oblivion in the mistaken assumption and belief that we cannot create a third viable choice. So long as the majority of people lack the vision and the will to exert their personal leadership, a very small minority will succeed in hijacking the slavish support of the dissenting majority.
During and after the Second World War, it was often asked how the German people could possibly have allowed the monstrous NAZI regime to seize power and stay in power in Germany? The same question has sometimes been asked about the murderous Communist regimes. We are now witnessing the answers to those questoins now. Too many citizens are acquiescing to a very small minority and compromise their human rights and political rights away in exchange for an illusory promise.
The 2012 Republican Convention was a lost opportunity to bring reality to the GOP leadership. Instead, the GOP leadership is being confirmed in their belief that the citizens are too divided and inept to organize without the GOP leadership to give them directions and fiscal support. Our pioneer ancestors created and maintained a new and unprecedented reality. Their descendants are losing the will and the perseverance needed to sustain the Constitution and the new reality it established. Every reality begins with a small number of pioneers, before they can become the new majority.
