People think we have two parties in our government. We don't. Both parties are one, and they are playing the American people. That's how they divide us. Play one party against the other, and nothing gets done. They have a built in excuse – blame the other party. I will not vote ever again unless the party system is abolished and other changes are made.
The ONLY way to turn this country around is through a revolution. It can be a peaceful one, which is preferable, or it can be the kind they had in 1775. Everything else has failed. Our system is broken no matter who we elect to office. Our government doesn't listen or help its own people and doles out money to foreign countries likes it's toilet paper while turning its back on the people who have lost their jobs because of our government's policies.
The corruption, lies and deceit coming out of this government are so great that if Joe Citizen partook in this kind of behavior he would be tried, convicted and sentenced for treason. What do We the People get from Congress? Instead of Congress doing its job and starting impeachment proceedings against Obama, we get a symbolic gesture from John Boehner suing the president – a lawsuit that won't be heard, if it is, until the president is out of office. John Boehner needs to grow a pair as does the rest of Congress.
Are the words of Thomas Jefferson in the Declaration of Independence only for quoting and sounding good, or are they wisdom from our founders for us to heed? The time has come, citizens. America is on a lake without any oars, just spinning around and around into the abyss.
As Jefferson said, "It is the Right and Duty to abolish a Tyrannical Government and start anew." There were only 3 percent of the Colonialists that participated in the Revolution. The rest were sympathetic to Britain or didn't care. Thank God for that 3 percent. Will future generations from now be saying that about us? I pray that they will. For if they are not, then America will have been conquered from within as Abraham Lincoln said would be the only way America could fall.
I pray that the 3 percent rise up now and get together to restore our nation to the nation our founders bleed and died establishing. One Nation, Under God, Indivisible, With Liberty and Justice For All.
The founders drove tyranny from our shores. We must do the same. Hopefully, by a peaceful revolution. If need be by a 1775 revolution.
