We are in a crisis in this country and I believe part of the reason is
the alienation and discouragement we face as American’s.
and that alienation and disengagement of American’s rise from I think
a couple of factors. One very important factor is the vast difference
between the reality of the American political and economic and social
systems and our theoretical understanding of our political, economic
and social systems.
For example, we have a very nice, clean, well thought out political
system as posited by our educational system with its voters
vote and the representatives do the bidding of the people
and everything has a nice neat place in this political description
and we all know that this very pretty description of our political
system has no relationship to reality in any, way, shape or form.
Part of the cause of the current crisis in America is this difference
between the pretty description of the theory of our political system
and the reality of our political system. Our democracy has been hijacked
by corporate interest and money and the massive infusion of money into
our political system enabled by the best court money can buy,
the United State Supreme court. It is this money that make a mockery
of any description of the theory of our democracy, whereas the
reality of our political system requires us to completely dismiss
the very pretty theoretical discussion of our political system.
It is this clash between the reality of our political system and
the theoretical explanation of our political system that is
creating, in part, our current crisis of American against American.
The left still hold the traditional theoretical understanding of our
political system and the right has not only accepted the reality
of our current political system but the right has embraced the
reality as better fitting of its political agenda which is corporate fascism.
The buying and selling of the politicians which allows the corporate
fascism to suck the American citizens dry of all money, influence and
possibilities. It is this attack by corporate America upon the citizens
of this country that is being fought by the left. The left still believes
in the traditional understanding of our country… That politicians
actually work for the people of this country and we don’t work for
them…….
“government of the people, for the people, by the people”
That is still the standard upon which the left still operates upon.
The right has simply sold its soul to corporate interest for a percentage
of the profits. The root of all evil is money, an adage that is disputed
only by those who stand to gain from money which is the corporations
and politicians. Due to village idiots like IQ45, we have had a very curious
reversal of policies in which the left has been the protector of
the traditional customs and policies whereas the right has
abandon all hope and has simply caved in to special interests
which includes Russia. This curious state of affairs will drive
historians crazy when they try to understand what has caused
the party of treason, THE GOP, to simply bow down and sell this
country downriver for the promised of 30 pieces of silver.
The party of treason has simply sold itself for money and power.
Two things which are by their very nature, ephemeral.
the left still believes in those old fashion idea’s like honor
and decency and justice and truth. Virtue’s that, I hope,
still mean something in this modern world that has sold
its soul for pennies on the dollar.
