The Status Quo of Republicans and Democrats

For way too long in this country we the people have been thinking in only a two dimensional fashion. We think that in the realm of politics there is only two sides, the Democrats and Republicans or as I refer to them, the Demilcans and Republocrats and finally, I’m not alone.

There’s a hand in my pocket. What do I care if it’s a Democrat hand or a Republican hand? There’s a hand in my pocket!

Hasn’t anybody noticed that no matter what party the president is from, the same things happen? Obama wants to legalize the illegal aliens currently residing in this country, boo hiss. Ronald Regan DID legalize 10 million illegals when he was president. What’s the difference? Both presidents spent money that wasn’t produced yet. GW Bush spent more money than any other president right up until Barack Obama broke that record this year. And what did they spend all this money on? Entitlements and Stimulus. Money that went out and has never found it's way back. Money for THEIR interests, not the interests of the American public.

Each “Party” spends taxpayer money. The Democrats on their social “services” which serves to buy the vote of the “downtrodden” of the American culture and, of course, fuel the public jobs sector which vote in lockstep with the people who keep the money coming. They’re all about Welfare, Public Education and Government Services such as Unemployment, Medicaid and Medicare. All giveaways designed to strengthen their political hold.

The Republicans spend on “Defense” and the “War on Drugs” and other Red, White & Blue pursuits and have also created their own public sector loyalties. This may explain why we’ve been at war since I’ve been alive and have huge bloated bureaucracies like the Department of Defense and the giant Corrections sector.  Then there are all those “Resort” style military bases we have all over the world complete with clubs, spas and weight rooms. All set up to bolster their political position.

And each party has managed, through it’s building up of government and by spending Billions in taxpayer dollars, to increase taxation and regulation to the point where businesses are strangled. The cost of doing business in America is just too high. 

Enter the Libertarians. Libertarians know that no matter who occupies the office of the presidency, he’s essentially the same guy. He works for the same people and the same interests that put him where he is and the same things happen for the American public: War or Welfare. 

The Tea Party is made up of mostly working people registered as Independents and it is they who are fueling the current Libertarian revival. There is much common ground but without having to read a book to explain the way they feel let it be simply put that they are a representation of a public that is sick of seeing their interests ignored and their money gone to pay for the usurping of the basic principles of work, prosperity and sacrifice. This movement has come about because of a government that no longer promotes the principle that a person stand on their own two feet, be responsible for their actions and not doing even it’s most basic job of protecting the rights and beings of it’s citizens. We are a public grown tired of a government that acts more like an Empire than a representative Republic. 

The last thing we need right now is another Demilcan or a Republocrat in the White House. There’s another choice out there.

The Reason Behind US Intervention in Libya.

The US led NATO forces have finally decided to put a more muscle behind their efforts to topple the Ghaddafi regime in Libya. The last few weeks they have poured more ordinance onto the Ghaddafi government's army than at any other time since the initial assault. It remains unspoken if there are any troops on the ground but who doubts that NATO "advisers" are on the ground "helping" the rebels take aim. Let's face it, NATO has been disappointed in the lack of "chutzpa" the so called rebels were demonstrating on camera so they had to finally put the hammer down and write a better ending. But will the ending be so rosy?

Besides simply ignoring the War Powers act and in doing so, delegitimizing Congress itself, our Autocratic Empire steams on as it invests a tidy sum of money in the overthrow of this small but oil rich nation. And although the last president was accused often and openly that his incursion into Iraq was a "War for Oil", there doesn't seem to be the same response this time. No outcry at all from the formerly energetic, staunch, principled and conscientious anti-war people who so dogged President Bush, picketing his ranch in Texas to much television coverage. But perhaps this time the war wasn't for oil at all.

Once again the United States, aka NATO, brings disaster to the world theater. One has to wonder what is to be gained by this latest action. The Intervention in Libya can only follow the same path as much of the "Arab Spring" who's only noticeable change has been to destabilize standing, not so radical Muslim governments and replace them with totally radical Muslim governments.

Heard about Egypt lately? Their glorious US encouraged revolution has managed to turn the country into yet another launch pad for attacks on Israel. Having previously been the only Arab nation to make peace with Israel, Egypt has reversed course. Here’s a handy quote from Mohammed Adel, a leader of the protests that toppled former Egyptian leader Mubarak commenting on Egypt’s recent withdrawal of their ambassador to Israel, “It proves to all that the Egyptian revolution is capable of imposing its rules on the Israeli enemy.”

Sounds like change we all can believe in.

This is the old Communist "Domino Theory" turned on it's ear. Instead of fighting to prevent a country from embracing hard-line rule, the US is fighting to bring the hard-liners into power. Remember that old mandate of administrations past? To bring Democracy to the world? Not that this was such a great idea either but it sure beats the hell out of what's going on now. This is more like “bring Sharia Law to the world”. The real winners of this reorganization are the Mullahs, the Muslim aristocracy and leaders of the new Muslim Expansion aided and abetted by the still weighty resources of the American Taxpayer.

Of course this kind of off-the-wall speculation can only play into the conspiracy theorists view that Barak Obama’s only plan is the willful and methodical overthrow of European influence in the US and the world while simultaneously collapsing the US economy, bringing on a totalitarian state of our own.

And so when the President directs our military to open a third war front during a time where the nation’s GDP is running $Trillions in the red, it may be theorized by crazy Tea Party types and those misguided Ron Paul hypnotized Libertarians that this goal can be realized. “In so many ways", I can hear them loudly rant, "are US Taxpayers funding our own demise at the hands of a person who owes no loyalty to the American Way.”

Who knows if radical Islam could have achieved the consolidation of a Muslim Caliphate in North Africa through their own terrorist actions but now, thanks to US military might, we are no longer left to ponder such a question.

But all this is just crazy talk…right?
