Ideology

Since it’s the only game in town we are forced to pick sides when it comes to political discourse in our society.

While the label ‘independent’ is becoming more common, there are still only two teams in the race for the independent to chose from.

Labels aside, I ask you if you have ever wondered about these two diametrically opposed points of view and if it has ever crossed your mind just how convenient it is that things are set up this way?

The interests of commerce sit on one side of the fence while the interests of the workers reside on the other.

Yet take a moment to see who represents whom.

All representatives come from or owe allegiance to just one side of the debate, the side the money comes from.

So it is good citizen that the ‘good guys’ never win.

It’s more than a little ironic that the Bushes and the Kerry/Heinz’s have net worth in the neighborhood of a half a billion dollars.

How many billionaires do you know?

The whole political debate is a sham, a farce, window dressing that provides an ‘illusion’ of participation.

Your vote, a vote that is rarely cast directly upon and issue, is worthless. Case in point. Massachusetts voters defeated seat belt legislation 2 to 1 not just once but four times at the polls…and we ended up with a seat belt law anyway.

To the best of my knowledge, not once has the question of a smoking ban ever appeared on a ballot anywhere but the bans are now everywhere.

Tyranny is defined as having the will of others forced upon you whereas Liberty is defined as freedom from tyranny.

The point, good citizen, is that what passes for political debate is in reality a one sided monologue. You will do as they say. You will do exactly as they say and like it or else.

Thus do the few terrorize the many through their control of the laws.

There are no Democrats just as there are no Republicans. There is only the wealthy and the sham of representation that is passed off as ‘participative’ government.

Your children deserve better. They deserve to have their say in how the world is run and how its resources are spent.

Make no mistake about it good citizen, royalty is still with us and they still believe we are too stupid to think for ourselves.

If you fail to see through the thin ruse they have set up for us, they may be right.

The parties, all political parties, are intended to divide the people, to create conflict where none exists. The issues these parties wrestle over are not the issues that plague our everyday life.

The parties serve to deflect and misdirect the outrage of the people when unpopular decisions ‘somehow’ end up becoming the law of the land.

At the end of the day there are only two parties in the political debate, the wealthy and those who made them that way, their victims.

So what’s it going to be? Will you live on your knees or die on your feet?

Thanks for letting me inside your head,
