Political deeds and misdeeds and by whom.

Requiem for a Dream

February 16th, 2011

By Aaron Cantor

With the election of a completely unknown and unvetted quantity by the name of Barack Hussein Obama to the Presidency, 4 November, 2008 became the day the dream that was the United States of America died, and the people didn’t even realize it, and adding insult to injury, the damned fools did it to themselves.

A citizen once asked Benjamin Franklin what form of government we have, Mr. Franklin’s reply was:

“A republic sir, if we are able to hold on to it.”

The system of political parties, no longer serves the people, but tends to serve only themselves.

THERE ARE NO SAINTS ON EITHER SIDE OF THE ISLE.

In the Federalist Papers, James Madison warned of the dangers of powerful political parties or factions being destructive to representative government.

General George Washington in his farewell address said:

“Political parties serve to organize factions, to give government an artificial and extraordinary force; to put in the place of the delegated will of the nation, the will of the party, often a small but artful and enterprising minority of the community; and according to the alternate triumphs of different parties to make the public administration the mirror of the ill-concerted and incongruous projects of that faction, rather than the organ of consistent and wholesome plans digested by common counsels, and modified by mutual interests.

These parties are likely, in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to USURP FOR THEMSELVES THE REIGNS OF GOVERNMENT, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion.

The common and continual mischief’s of the spirit of party are sufficient to make it the interest and duty of a wise people to discourage and restrain it.”

We have a newly won majority in the House, but unfortunately, all indications are that they will continue to conduct business as usual and “We the People” and our beloved Republic are up against the proverbial wall with no way out.

The millstone around our collective necks, is the political class of both parties and the solution to the problem is to do away with professional politicians, but how do we accomplish that short of a firing squad or a guillotine?

People keep re-electing these snakes, and you know as well as anything they will not subject themselves to term limits (that would mean giving up their cushy position).

We are in a financial bind that is almost too monstrous to work our way out of, and it can rightly be laid at the door step of the Washington crowd who can’t even balance their own personal checkbook.

It is not their money so I guess they feel they are entitled to throw it around like confetti and devil take the hindmost.

The solution is so simple a third grader could see it a mile off, when you don’t have any money in the bank you don’t write a check, and that doesn’t mean you can go down in the basement and fire up the printing press and print up some funny money either.

This assortment of vipers have been getting away with their financial irresponsibility for so long it has given them a sense of entitlement, so it is almost impossible to reign them in, and the country is in ruins because of it.

The General called attention to these things a long time ago, but does all the petty back biting, gotcha games, conniving and dealing from the bottom of the deck sound familiar?
