We live in a bipolar country, where Alabama voters prefer
Roy Moore and Minnesota voters prefer Al Franken in the US Senate. The divide
is Left vs Right and appears to be 50:50 by population, but the Right controls
the electoral vote.
The Left supports socialism, globalism, secularism,
abortion, open borders, Islam, high taxes, big government control and
government paid everything. They attack Christianity, capitalism, private
property and personal freedom. They have created most of the financial crises
and strife. They encourage rioting and reject free speech if it disagrees with
their narrative or agenda. They promote racial strife and protected groups of
“victims”. They reject individual responsibility. They are globalist Marxists
and love the UN. They concoct fantasies
and promote unrealistic causes. They will do anything to turn the US into a big
government globalist socialist republic and they will not stop They have arranged for the brainwashing of
most people under the age of 40 through school indoctrination by Leftist
faculty and control most of the media. They are joined by government employees
and everybody who likes “free stuff”. They are the Bolsheviks. If you disagree
with them, they call you a “racist”. The Left would nationalize the entire
private sector. They think Communist China is the model to follow. They can’t
stand the US Constitution because it allows for change. They need “stability”
to continue their “fundamental transformation”. Communists usually kill off the
opposition to get this stability, but Americans don’t want another revolution.
So, they are pushing to increase immigration to get more voters.
The Right supports the Private Sector free market
capitalist
economy with small, limited government, a limited “safety
net”, low welfare costs, balanced budgets, low taxes, low debt, strong
military, national sovereignty, individual sovereignty, controlled borders,
immigration based on job availability and merit requiring self-support. They
support the US Constitution (as written) and oppose activist Judges who ignore
the Constitution (as written) use case law and misinterpret the Constitution.
All Democrats who hold office support the Left and 80% of
Republicans support the Left, because they are really Democrats who only
claimed to be Republicans to get elected. 20% of Republicans who hold office
support the Right as do most of the voters. The election process is controlled
by power cartels in the States. These are “establishment” politicians who will
eviscerate all challengers. They control who we can elect to office. Political
campaigns get their funding from government employees, corporations and wealthy
special interests, who are aligned with these political cartels. They also
control State and Federal budgets and determine where tax dollars go. Their priorities are often at odds with the
voters, but voters find it hard to win.
The US Constitution was written to ensure a balance of
State and National sovereignty and ensure citizen rights. It was created to
function with a capitalist economy and limited government. There were corporate
and special interests at the time and their issues were addressed by State and
Federal entities. Political parties
gathered behind candidates whose agendas supported each party’s issues. Our
economy included agriculture, resource extraction and trade. Most small
businesses were family farms and services. It was a meritocracy, where those
who did a good job would prosper. Voters in States determined the candidates
they wanted to send to serve in the US Congress and all Voters decided on who
would be the President responsible for leading the federal government. Our
population was largely European and Christian or Jewish. Our culture supported
hard work, private property and freedom.
Today we are more disjointed. The federal government has
usurped States’ Rights and assumed control of most functions that were
previously handled by States and the Private Sector. To understand how this
happened, you have to follow the money. Willie Sutton, a notorious American
bank robber said: “I rob banks, because that’s where they keep the money”.
Eventually, the federal government became “where they keep the money”.
Our nation was founded by the “landed gentry”, who were
drawn to government service in the Colonial government from the 1650s to the
1770s. They served as officers in the British Continental Army and served in
State government. When rule by the British became abusive in the 1770s, they
rebelled and formed the United States. This group of leaders accurately read
the needs of the citizens. They designed and operated the government to meet
these needs, but their successors failed to deal with areas of disagreement and
made serious, costly errors. They were, however, able to expand the national
footprint.
We have continued to elect the “landed gentry” to political
office, but this crop has not been on our side except for Trump, who is on our
side. I expect those Republicans who want to survive to convert to become real
Republicans and actually change their votes to become more “Constitutional”.
The case for the Right is easy to make, because it is based on facts. If you do
what it says, everything starts to work and get better.
Republicans will need to add “populism” and “nationalism”
and drop “globalism”. They need to review the list of Republican beliefs and
actually pass laws to restore the economy.
Republicans will also need to reform government to become
compliant with the US Constitution (as written), They need to transfer unconstitutional
departments, agencies and programs to the States to comply with the 10th
amendment or write Amendments to add these to their “enumerated powers” and
send them to the States for ratification. Healthcare and Education have become
unaffordable and underperforming. Republicans need to transfer these to the
States. These industries need to be controlled by the Private Sector free
market to control costs through supply and demand. Neither appear in the
“enumerated powers” for a reason.
For issues that are federal, Congress will need to amend
laws that need fixing, abolish laws that are unnecessary or counter-productive,
ensure that laws are enforced, restore the rule of law and live within their
means. It is obvious that Republicans will need to reform the Rules to enable
good legislation to pass and increase throughput.
Democrats will fight tooth and nail to prevent Republicans
from fixing this bloated, corrupt and incompetent government, because it will
reverse all of the bad laws they have been able to have enacted to support
their march toward big government socialism.
