-Caveat Lector- Party Government by Ted Lang
John Adams recognized early in this country's history the corruption of purpose that results when personal motives and ambitions are superimposed upon what is considered as a generally beneficial core of organizational motives. The resultant political intrigue we now accept as the norm in American politics nullifies all allusions to our nation as being one governed by a set of laws. Politics has not only subverted our purpose, the preservation and protection of individual human freedom intended by God, but has progressed to where public recognition of His beneficence is now judged as criminal. We are no longer a nation with constitutionally legitimized government, but a nation based upon a 'living constitution' that can be changed at will by the party and the politician currently in power. This was precisely the same legitimization employed by Adolf Hitler, who used constitutional and national legitimacy to subvert the legal entity of government and convert it to the subservient, destructive monster of the political party in power. It is an arrangement similar to that of the former Soviet Union. Both tyrannical, authoritarian regimes were sustained by political party domination. Both dictatorships were examples of party government. Government service at the highest levels was intended by our Founders to be accessible to all citizens, with the highest office available to those born on American soil. This accentuates our founding principles, which ensure the propriety of American purpose as opposed to a dispersion of national sovereignty through politically motivated legislative arrangements deferential to aliens, legalized or otherwise, domiciled in Our Land. Hitler's Nazi Party was nationalized socialism; Stalin's Communist Party typified international socialism. Their nations' governments were of, by, and for their party. Deference to the rights of citizens was non-existent. There is for all intents and purposes little difference between human organization as characterized by a political party or the government of a state or a nation. There is an ultimate head over an array of horizontally integrated offices and sub-offices comprising a vertically subordinate chain of command as to purpose and operation through the leader. Their organizational structure is dependent upon the mission and goals of the organization, and designed to most effectively address these. All corporate, charitable, religious and political organizations are similarly structured with their mission and purpose in mind. This has never been the case with respect to the design and purpose of American government. Our Founders designed American government using a 'destructuring' design to ensure that a unanimity of purpose, or a commandeering usurpation by either elected representatives of the people, bureaucrats, or politicians of every strain, could never rob or supplant the individual of his God-given freedom to chose his path in life. And to that end, the Constitution of the United States and the Bill of Rights was designed and put into place. It is this document that represents Mankind's greatest design and dedication to individual freedom. When taken together, the sovereignty of the individual American citizen is paramount. The sovereignty of either our government or our two main political parties is not. Clearly, in our time, both political parties and American government have totally subverted and virtually abolished our freedom protections under the constitutional, decentralized, limited government specifically structured for this purpose. When individual sovereignty takes precedence over political parties and government, the right of the people, via each singular, separate, individual citizen to own and carry firearms to protect both free speech and assembly, becomes obvious. This God-given right is guaranteed to Americans recognizing precisely the desire by big government and dominating political parties to silence opposition - and silencing will take the form of government force, whether initiated by government officials or political parties. It is becoming increasingly obvious, that we have reached a point where each and every American must assess both their government and their political party, and recognize how dangerously far we've wandered from our purpose. The time to reflect is now! *** Political parties totally control government officials, legislatures, and elected chief executives, focusing the power of government on their party's objectives. Such party objectives are usually foreign to those constitutionally intended for government, and party government rarely serves the interests of the electorate. Behind-the-scenes power brokers manipulating political parties are virtually never on a political level that equates or is answerable to the average American voter. Yet the rich and powerful controllers manipulate the party, and the party manipulates government operations, and almost always, the manipulation of both is detrimental to the hardworking, over-taxed, voiceless American citizen and voter. And party government doesn't really wish to be associated with the voter-taxpayer because the latter is of the lower and middle class tier of wage and salary earners. Individuals in this, the largest class of the citizenry, do not have adequate individual financial or political power to affect or control political change. But because of their large numbers, the huge majority of lowly voter-taxpayers are desirable only because their collective wealth is far in excess of anything the politicians and their parties have. The Founders desired the average citizen to be involved in holding government office and kept access and qualifications relatively simple. But with the advent of political parties, political manipulation before, during and after elections, the latter most notably in terms of the spoils system, it has become increasingly difficult, if not totally impossible, for the average voter-taxpayer to be elected and to represent his peers in public office. In order for anyone to access public office, it must be through either of the two mainstream political parties in America. Campaigning for public office is prohibitively expensive, and that's just fine with the American privileged power class that controls political parties and government. No one can access public office but through the two parties. This demands party patronage, loyalty and sponsorship, and considerations regarding constitutional law and what's best for the voter-taxpayer never enter into that equation. Defenders and apologists for the two party system offer that it works; undoubtedly, but for whom? Certainly not for the voter-taxpayer. And if party politics is necessary for an individual to get elected to public office, what happens after he or she succeeds and acquires elected office? Who is the official beholding to? The obvious answer is that elected officials owe everything to the party, and as such, their obligation is to the behind-the-scenes power brokers and party big shots. This precludes representation of the voter-taxpayer, who serves only to provide vast sums of money for collection through the legitimacy and force of government. The rich and powerful that control political parties also have the 'in' with the press. Many of the powerful are so because of huge business interests, which provide the lifeblood for the American press: advertising revenue. In this manner, a partnering of a handful of powerful individuals controls the press, the party, and ultimately the voter-taxpayer. The latter is the lamb for fleecing and slaughter. It is for this reason that voters are always presented with the lesser of two evils instead of the people's choice. Even party caucuses and conventions are a thing of the past. Key political decisions are conducted behind closed doors, leaving only an insignificant sliver of bone to the voter-taxpayer in the voting booth at election time. Other than the two glaring mistakes made by the Founders, first in relying on a 'free and independent press,' and second, in not being more specific as regards citizens' ownership rights regarding firearms, their failure to take into account political parties and their intrigue has fostered the loss of our constitutional freedoms that we now are subject to. The operative words are of course 'subject to;' Bush and his federal police agencies have as yet not enacted the oppressive arrests and suppression of opposition that they now are legally capable of exercising as well as entitled to.
