The Fourth Estate is a Fifth Column.
It has lost its function.
There is no check and balance on the system when a single party controls both houses of Congress as it does in everything but name, and the Presidency, and the press, and the electoral process.
If we cannot have fair and free elections in the USA, we are no longer a Republic in anything but name. We cannot control who votes, or how many times. We cannot verify any vote, either at the time or later. We cannot prosecute anyone except for low level and meaningless violations of voting law. We cannot limit poll reporting until all votes are in to avoid fraud. We cannot remove people from the roles if they are not citizens, or if they are dead, or if they are criminals.
Neither party is trying to correct the one thing which would correct all others. Even the political parties have agreed not to challenge the fraud of each other’s workers. Who does that? People from the same team, that’s who.
My question: If the GOPe is willing to sacrifice a term or two of the presidency to put down the tea party rebellion, just what exactly is the agenda that they are seeking once they can run an undivided party that differs from what the tea party wants? Can someone tell me where the difference is? I think it is a matter of the old guard not wanted to lose their sinecure. What a sad day if they were willing to take us all down.
But, it happens all over the world. Why would we not suffer from the same greed as the rest of the world.
At least going from Uganda to South Sudan, you may at least have to give the guard a bottle of water. I would rather have that decree of graft that the level we now have in this country. I can’t afford it.
The GOPe has one huge problem:
They support globalization. They support sending American jobs abroad.
That is an increasingly huge problem. America is no longer the largest exporter in the world. Now that is China. Who supplies things back to AMERICA.
The thing is, everything we buy from China builds China up more, because everything is owned in “half plus 1%” by China. So all the exporting streaming out of China now, is all growing China.
This is a huge problem.
America needs to bring home manufacturing now.
All of it.
