At The Crossroads

Friday, October 28th, 2011

I am not a’gin Government; I am not a’gin Government Spending. I am against federal government usurping the power not granted to it by the Constitution thereby driving spending levels out of control without real fiscal checks and balances.  Diverse ideological groups wrestle to commandeer the reins of authority but most of them share a common end goal.  Often the views overlap on both ends of the political spectrum.

In the Eighties, I learned a valuable lesson from the John Birch Society.  The political spectrum is not really a flat line running left to right; it is actually more like a horseshoe.  The curve is home to constitutional republicanism (small r). where the ends nearly meet consist of Marxism (left) and Fascism (right). Marz fathered radical socialism or Communism. Most forget that Fascism is National Socialism (Nazi).  Both ends share a powerful oligarchy controlling the economy picking winners and losers.  The rich get richer while the middle class dissolves into the serf masses.  Bread & circuses are provided to keep social unrest at a minimum.

Keynesian Liberals see government as a cure-all. They never met a program they did not like.  Confiscate as much revenue as possible from the haves to redistribute to the have-nots. Great Society billions have been spent over a half century and poverty levels continue to grow while the traditional family and the Puritan work-ethic are disintegrating.  International financiers and mega-corporations control our elected officials with their lobby money.  They sell their ethical compass in pursuit of the almighty dollar. They destroy the middle class blue collar worker moving to use overseas labor.  They promote sources for enemies to continue war profiteering.  Both sides would continue the march toward an integrated global economy and political system to the detriment of our constitutional liberties and private-ownership, free-market system.

Both parties are riddled with members of these overlapping blocs.  To stay in power and continue to rake in federal benefits, they answer to the Oligarchy rather than the electorate.  Competitive primaries and greater third-party access are the most legitimate answer to the threat faced as of now.  Congressional perks: insurance, retirement, travel, etc., should be eradicated entirely.  American foreign policy should be based on nationalist concerns; we cannot go on as the world’s policeman. That practice broke the British Empire and we are sliding headlong down the same path.  American companies must bring jobs home, but the government should encourage them to do so with a carrot & stick approach, ie, tax policies on imports and fewer regulations and unfunded mandates.

The country is truly at a crossroads. The choice is whether to preserve the Republic with its constitutional liberties in regards to equality of opportunity in economics, political speech, and Judeo-Christian morality; or, do we continue incrementally towards a Corporate/ Financier class oligarchy overseeing a Welfare State on its way to full integration in a New World Order with a global economy on an uneven playing field and the emasculation of our Bill of Rights ?  Standing still is no longer an option for we are robbing our children’s generations of a way of life that was unequalled in History.
