Frustration over the Obama vs. McCain Debate
I love my family. They are truly wonderful people. Thoughtful, generous and kind. Some of them are “awake” and some are not. I got truly frustrated in reading a thread of emails going back and forth regarding the merits of McCain vs. Obama and wrote this in reply:
Good points both, but you’re missing the main point. There is absolutely no difference between the two. They will both continue to sell us out to the bankers.
We do not change who is in government. We vote the same people in year after year.
We do not change who is in the bureaucracy and they hand down regulation upon regulations.
We do not care that our elections have been stolen and continue to be stolen, so even IF you wanted to vote for change now, you couldn’t anyway.
We do not change that the current two party system is a farce – that the debate is not over what is right and wrong, but how much we spend.
We do not demand accountability of our representatives in Congress or even City Hall.
We do not demand a Constitutional Government that would abolish the Federal Reserve System and go back to a sound money supply. Ben Bernanke admitted in a speech at the 90th birthday party for Milton Friedman that the Federal Reserve caused the Great Depression through their actions. Go here for the link.
We do not look in the mirror and recognize that it is the apathy and personal indulgence of generations that has cost us a free country.
Welcome to Fascism. It’s here.
People say they are willing to pay more in taxes for services. That’s great, because that’s what we are getting. Never mind that most people can’t even afford to pay for food AND gas and have to choose between the two. The Parties play on the fact that most people want to help their neighbors, but it’s awfully convenient to just have it taken out of the paycheck and then we can go on with our lives without having to get our hands dirty. It is not the place of the government to provide for care for us – it is our responsibility to care for each other. But you can’t do that if you are working two jobs and sometimes three to make ends meet and the government keeps sucking up YOUR money like they have a right to it. Which they most assuredly do not. If you do not have the right to keep what you earn, you do not own your labor. If you don’t own your labor, you are a slave. You might be lucky enough to have golden chains, but they are still chains.
It doesn’t matter one bit which party gets into office. They are both bought and paid for by the same people. You will get exactly what the elitists in charge of the government and the banking systems want you to get. Which is the short end of the stick and them holding all the assets.
According to the Army Times, we will have our first deployment on US soil in the history of our country starting October 1st. Welcome to Martial Law.
As I’m writing this, the financial bailout agreement has been reached. THERE IS NO MONEY TO PAY FOR THIS. The dollar will continue to fall like crazy until it’s worthless. I hope that all of you have taken the time to at least fill your pantries.
And what do we have at the end of the day? A continued play put on for the benefit of the masses in which we are presented with bad choice A (barack obama) or equally bad choice B (john mccain). There was no substance in ANY of the debates I heard within the Democratic or Republican parties. It was all just we have to beat the other side. Why not just have a football game and get it over with? It would certainly cost less, have the same outcome (disaster for you and me) and be done in an afternoon. At least then, you’d get the attention of the apathetic masses.
The definition of Fascism: a governmental system led by a dictator having complete power, forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry, commerce, etc., and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism and often racism.
“Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power” – Benito Mussolini
Psychopaths manipulate the feelings of moral people in order to achieve their goals. It doesn’t matter who gets hurt in the end, as long as the goal is achieved.
Sam Adams reportedly told some British sympathizers:
If you love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home and leave us in peace. We seek not your council, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.
Just how far have we come from our roots that we now talk about voting for the lesser of two evils? That we are willing to hand over our hard won freedom for despotism and martial law? That we would willingly sell our children’s children’s children into slavery? Shame on all of us for letting it come to this.
After the Rally for the Republic
Well, my cohost and I are back from a long week spent traveling to and from Minneapolis. I did my blogging this week on our show blog – LibertyCafe.wordpress.com – if you would like to check it out. I was also invited to do some live blogging with unitedliberty.org.
It was fun, we got to meet some interesting people and do some networking. I got mixed reactions from the people there, however. One person told me that when the invitations went out for the leadership summit – Chicago had people invited that haven’t done anything since Super Tuesday – and those people who have been working hard ever since got ignored.
I had another person tell me that all the organizational efforts of the Texas Delegation culminated in a meeting on some bleachers for a picture after a concert. Where, evidently, elections were held for the new leadership inside the Campaign for Liberty. (I have since found that this was the leadership to represent the Texas delegation to the rally…)
Overall, I think it was a good opportunity to network, but it was a distraction. I truly appreciate the fact I was able to be there and cover it on the blog, and work with unitedliberty.org for the live blogging event. However, top down is not going to win our country back. The focus must be fixed on local elections and issues.
I just heard Jim Stutsman – who is running in SD 25 – true-blue Ron Paul supporter – got passed over for endorsement by the Liberty PAC in favor of a Neo-con. In what Liberty-minded person’s world does that make sense? So… Jim is running as a Libertarian – and the Liberty PAC endorsed the Republican. it just furthers my belief that in order to be most effective, we need to be non-partisan. So when we DO have a good candidate that isn’t a Republican, we do not have the “Party pressure” to endorse the party candidate.
All in all, the things that I really enjoyed – seeing Aimee Allen perform, listening to the speeches, hanging out with a lot of other Ron Paul people, was cool – but does it really further our goal of taking back our country? If they are going to do a top-down organization, which seems to be the point of the Campaign for LIberty – then a direction was needed for the people there to follow. If you are going to have an organization led by a few – then those few need to tell people what to do.
