I like the Republican argument that people should be free and government should not interfere in their lives. I can agree with the Republican argument the larger government is, the more government intrudes in your life. The only problem is Republicans keep advocating for larger government on behalf of corporations. They don’t regulate corporations, but instead regulate the American People on behalf of corporations.
In an ideal word, people could say, “I’m sick of putting up with this Republican hypocrisy. I’m going to vote for a Democrat because they will look after the people.” I thought that’s what they claimed anyway. I believe this is an ideal Democrats have for their party that they have let slip away. I am so sick of talking to Democrats who say, “Well we have to go with this guy because he’s electable.” Since when did being a corrupt piece of crap make someone electable? Being corrupt doesn’t mean someone has moved to the center as the media tells people. It just means they’re sell out no mater what party they are with.
Dems are so out of touch because they don’t have a civil conversation with Republicans. Likewise Republicans are out of touch because they don’t have civil conversations with Democrats.
The dialect they use is different. Republicans say “Special Interest Groups.” I believe this because Republicans can’t bare to admit their convoluted, distorted belief of what capitalism is, is wrong. The corporate world they have been brainwashed into protecting has screwed them over. Dems gripe about capitalists, and corporations, but do nothing. Dems go right along with their corrupted politicians who have been bought and paid for just like most Republican.
Being able to support a family is a key family value, but neither the Republicans or the Democrats support this value. Neither group (in whole) is working to protect American jobs.
Here’s the reality. The Constitution was not written for corporations, it was written for individual US Citizens. Capitalism is just fine as long as you are looking out for the rights of the individual people. “Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men.” It makes no sense to trust corporations that is larger and more powerful than the government you fear. They own the government you fear.
One area were liberals commonly go wrong is they want the government to protect them, but they are not skeptical enough. Liberals first need to realize their government has already been purchased. Dems need to scrutinize every bill whether they think it was written by a Dem or a Republican. Chances are the bill was written by a lobbyist on behalf of a corrupt corporation–not for the benefit of the American People.
I do believe Ralph Nader and Matt Gonzalez are real Democrats. Not the corporate sellouts that demented Democrats claim are needed in order to get a Democrat elected. If you have to stoop to such a low level, what is the point? The one area were I do disagree with Matt and Ralph is on third party candidates. I don’t believe a third party has a real shot at the election. I will vote for one for President because the two main choices suck so bad.
The real power is to get organized at a grassroots level. The grass roots level means being one of the people who determine who gets on the ballot. If you can do that, than you determine who the sheeple will have to vote for. Who else is the mainstream corporate media going to cover?
Local NPR Stations
Ralph Nader has not been able to get onto a National NPR program even though they are publicly funded. Ralph was able to get on a local NPR station in Salt Lake City, Utah. Check out what Ralph Nader has to say. There is a podcast link you can click on in the upper left hand side of the page.
More Information
If you would like more information on what Matt said about Bill Clinton’s sanctions, see John Pilger’s Paying The Price: Killing The Children of Iraq.
Republican or Democrat, every one needs to watch Orwell Rolls in His Grave. A third party candidate can’t get their message out because the corporate media, simply will not let them. The corporate media has control, so taking over the two main parties at the grassroots level is the only option left. Nader and Kucinich supporters need to get in at the grass roots level and guide Dems who have their heads up some dark orifice.
Grassroots means determining who gets on the ballot, for other people to vote for.
How To Make A Difference
If you believe you are more liberal than conservative, try getting involved with the Democratic Party to bring about the Ideals Ralph Nader and Matt Gonzalez are talking about. The real problem with the party is the block heads the activests keep putting on the ballot for you. Grass Roots organizations that are specifically responsable fior what you are getting stuck with are groups like Democracy for America. This is where the grass roots change needs to begin. Democracy for America can also be found at dfa.meetup.com. The People’s Email Network is a good way to stay informed, so is People For The American Way.
If you consider yourself more conservative, but you are sick of corruption in the Republican party, check out Ron Paul’s Campaign For Liberty, Break The Matrix, and be sure to join a Meetup group ronpaul.meetup.com.
