"Throw[ing] The Rascals Out" Is Not Enough

Does it seem to you that nothing ever changes in Washington, D.C.? Well, it's your fault. You've been co-opted by a carefully crafted plan to get you to think that you're doing something by voting when in reality you're doing worse than nothing at all by continually voting for the same insane cabal of rascal politicians that runs our country.
The AP reported today that
President Barack Obama's winning coalition from 2008 has crumbled and his core backers are dispirited. It's now Republicans who stand to benefit from an electorate that's again craving change. Nearly two years after putting Obama in the White House, one-quarter of those who voted for the Democrat are defecting to the GOP or considering voting against the party in power this fall.
The system is working as designed. And you are all the poorer for it.

"The system", contrary to the desires of secrecy by the American Establishment, was explained by Carroll Quigley in his book Tragedy and Hope. He wrote
The argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies, one, perhaps, of the Right and the other of the Left, is a foolish idea acceptable only to the doctrinaire and academic thinkers. Instead, the two parties should be almost identical, so that the American people can "throw the rascals out" at any election without leading to any profound or extreme shifts in policy.
This explains why, for all intents and purposes, Obama foreign policy is essentially the third presidential term of George W Bush.  This also explains why people who voted for Obama are already tired of Obama.  Because, as a matter of course, he was required to lie to them. He was required to make promises that the American political Establishment never intended to allow him to keep.

Barack Obama's constituents (just like George W. Bush's and Bill Clinton's) are not us, nor have they ever been us.  Barack Obama's constituents are the American Establishment--people such as Henry Kissinger who, behind the scenes, has been making deals between the United States and China.

Voting for the lesser of two evils seldom makes sense. Ballots that allow voting of "straight party line" should be outlawed, in my opinion, because they facilitate mindless voting for such evils. When it comes to the ballot box, it should not matter what your party affiliation is.  If the best candidate for a particular office happens to be Democrat, vote for him or her. If the best candidate in your estimation is a Republican, vote for that candidate.

Don't, however, vote for someone who is a shill of the Establishment, just because they promise "Change You Can Believe In".  You might find, instead of "change" that you get (a) more of the same, and (b) a bigger headache.

  1. I agree absolutely and have just sent a letter to my local newspaper on the same subject. If we are to retain any semblance of a government of "We the People", we have to destroy the 2-party system and ban corporate money from our political system. In many key races around the country, there simply aren't any credible alternatives to the Demopublicans. People who want real change and have the nation's best interest at heart are wasting their time and money supporting one of the two corporate parties instead of building an alternative political force.

Red Clothing and Resurrection: Jesus Christ's Second Coming

The scriptures teach that when Christ comes again to the earth, that he will be wearing red apparel. Why red ? They also teach that at Christ's coming, many of the dead will become resurrected. Will this only include members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints? Not by a long shot, no matter what some Mormon might tell you.

To Have the Compassion of an Ogre

At least when it comes to using government as a weapon of compassion, I have the compassion of the ogre. I will explain below why I think government cannot and should not be in the business of compassion. The force of government has caused many people to show less compassion to their fellow men. On the other hand, some of the best things happen when government is not compassionate. In such circumstances, individuals personally begin to display more compassion. One such instance of this happened recently in Utah when the governor asked the legislature to convene a special session in order to (among other things) provide special monies to pay for dental care for the disabled . If they didn't fund the governor's compassion project, it would make the legislators look even more heartless in a year where the budget surplus was projected to be at least $150 million. In spite of these political odds, the legislature did not grant the $2 million that 40,000 members of the disabled

The Legend of Enkidu and Shamhat: Wait!...Did I just Read About Adam and Eve???

The story of Enkidu and Shamhat seems similar to that of Adam and Eve.  See what similarities you can find in my description of the story of Enkidu, Shamhat, and Enkidu's alter-ego, Gilgamesh below.
