The people ultimately rule.

Every elected official now in office was put there by "the people who ultimately rule" as you refer to them. The people have ruled — and we have the government that resulted from that rule. So......which people, or group, or coven, or elite.....should ultimately rule, in your opinion?

In a republic, the people (voters) rule through their elected representatives (that's the difference between mob rule and a republic). If the representatives do a lousy job, they are voted out and new ones elected. That's the way it is supposed to work. However, when the people become ignorant and lose all virtue, a republic cannot stand. That is the point at which we find ourselves today. Now, what is YOUR solution? I am guided by moral princple and moral principle ONLY. The debased state of the average American citizen is not my problem, and voting for the person who best represents my views is therefore not a waste of my vote - if that is where you are headed.

I'll tell you what a waste of a vote is - voting for a representative who ignores his oath to the Constitution - as almost 100% of the Congress does! That is a waste of a vote!

I might add that we are a nation of LAWS NOT MEN. Men must follow the law of the land - which is the U.S. Constitution. I will defy the POLITBURO (SCOTUS) or anyone else who flouts that law. Any questions?

"It's you, who put your hero worship ideology ahead of the country."

And you accuse me of being backwards? You never heard me refer to anyone as my hero, and you never will, so where are you coming from?

Your 'hero' is majority rule, by political parties, --- "the people who ultimately rule"..

True enough, you have no 'one' hero. It is worse. Your ideology reveres the group.
