Three blind mice,
Three blind mice,
See how they run,
See how they run,
They all ran after the farmer's wife,
She cut off their tails with a carving knife,
Did you ever see such a sight in your life,
As three blind mice?
What a mess our political parties have made of our precious United States of America. The Democrats, Republicans, and those of the Third Party (Libertarians, Constitutionalists, and Greenies) keep vying for power over our nation while they compromise our liberties along the way.
The Democrats continue to move 'progressively' towards socialism. Their leaders promise to tax (take) more and more from the evil-wealthy and redistribute it to the poor and meek. To all Democrats: a system of government where the people are forced into equality doesn't work! That leads to socialism which leads to tyranny! Remember the Soviet Union?
The Republicans seem to have lost their identity and now want to compete against their brethren the Democrats. To all Republicans: when Democrats and Republicans are so able and willing to switch parties you have to realize that there's no difference between either. Please refer to my statement to the Democrats.
And to those Third Party-types (the Constitutionalists, Libertarians, and Greenies): Come on! Pick a side and fight. Either you are a socialist or you believe in liberty. If you believe in liberty then please get involved and save our precious nation. To all Third Party-types: crying about the problem doesn't solve the problem. You actually need to do something instead of emailing each other and attending conventions.
I hear many who say we should just follow the Constitution of the United States. I wonder what amended version we should follow? Do these Constitutionalists support the 14th Amendment? What about the 16th Amendment? How about the 17th Amendment? What does it mean these days when we say we should follow the Constitution of the United States?
Will our political parties ever merge into one giant party known as the United States of America?
To quote the first President of the United States, George Washington, in his Farewell Address:
"All obstructions to the execution of the Laws, all combinations and associations, under whatever plausible character, with the real design to direct, control, counteract, or awe the regular deliberation and action of the constituted authorities, are destructive of this fundamental principle, and of fatal tendency. They serve to organize faction, to give it an artificial and extraordinary force; to put, in the place of the delegated will of the nation; and, according to the alternate triumphs of different parties, to make public administration the mirror of the ill-concerted and incongruous projects of faction, rather than the organ of consistent and wholesome plans digested by common counsels, and modified by mutual interests.
"However combinations or associations of the above description may now and then answer popular ends, they 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 reins of government; destroying afterwards the very engines, which have lifted them to unjust dominion."
Take that you evil political parties!
When are we the people going to stop choosing political parties to represent us and choose men and women of strong moral character who actually want to represent us, the people? When are we going to elect men and women who are willing to follow the strict guidelines found in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States? Nothing more? Nothing less?
These are the political opinions of a Grass Root. For further discussion on this article please go to the Statesman Society.
