Cast an eye upon my work and see if you can improve the grammar, punctuation, or even presentation. I can buff it up before shipping it out to the blogs that publish me.
I too have had a gnawing feeling for a number of years now myself.
The sense that our central government no longer works for the average working person/taxpayer anymore. We are taken for granted.
I see this in a sense that things will never get better because of the way we currently operate. We have run out of road.
We have lost control of our government and how it operates.
It’s strange how the people who want to eliminate the “surplus population” never consider themselves to be a part of it.
Excellent. I think you have hit the nail on he head.
OUTSTANDING, Lazamataz. One of your best. Thank you.
Eggs Ackley! If the GOPe nominate another Bush, The Donald should run as third party and we will elect him if for no other reason than spite! Then there would at least be a two party system with an independent party.
“It’s strange how the people who want to eliminate the “surplus population” never consider themselves to be a part of it.”
You just defined a portion of elitism. Somebody has to CONTROL the masses. Plus somebody has to own the leftover Netjets, lobster, and California oceanfront property.
Good job, Laz : )
Another way of putting it; Washington vs The Rest Of Us.
Well Done.
Interestingly enough, Trump the Multi-Billionaire, is not an elitist.
Why?
The Billionaire Populist?
Say what?
I suspect that his populism is the direct result of, like Reagan, being Honest.
Yeah, there is definitely a battle between the DC cartel and us, but there is also a culture war between godless liberals and god-fearing conservatives.
I refer to the Democrats as the American Soviet Party.
I think you are exactly right. There are no Democrats/Republicans any longer. It’s one big swamp of shared corruption.
The Washington uppercrust won’t have to deal with the ramifications of their action/inaction. They’ll be shielded from it all.
Excellent!
The other thing is -- it's hard to get things done in politics. Major changes only come around once in a generation. A minority party can't get anything done in any case. But in practice you need over 60 seats in the Senate to pass significant laws. That happens very rarely. I doubt Boehner and McConnell would exercise much leadership even if they had those 60 votes, but without them, there's not that much that they can do to change things.
Absolutely on target! GREAT job!
That, a rope and a handy lamp-post or oak tree...
Or we could get all Parisian on them and bring out the ox cart and guillotines!
About the no pregnancies...
I heard the Skipper and Gilligan were... Well, let’s just say they would applaud the Supreme Court’s affirmation of Gay Marriage.
The professor spent too much time in the lab around the radium samples and no longer shoots live ammo.
Irritation is the sickliest form of robbery.
The ruling coalition is united around several things that the people are against. They are skilled at setting up phony issues (or issues that don’t concern the Federal government) to break up the formation of any possible other coalition.
Republicans and Democrats agree that the purpose of the State is redistribution. How much, and to whom, and under what circumstances, there are disagreements. But no elected officials of either Party believe that it is wrong to take from you and give to another of their own choosing, for reasons that make sense to them.
Republicans and Democrats agree that you have “rights” - lots of them. They also agree that any question ABOUT your “rights”, or whether or not something IS a “right”, should not be decided by a political process because that is “divisive”. So, they both agree that the voice of “the People” as contemplated in Articles IX and X can only be voiced by nine unelected life tenure judges, and that five of them, at any time or for any reason, can give new “rights” and take away old ones, particularly if those old ones arise out of majority voting.
Republicans and Democrats all believe in “diversity”. They, ignoring completely the results of all social science research on this subject, and contrary to millennia of human experience and wisdom, believe that the more “diverse” our country, its institutions, and any private entities within her become, the more cohesive and productive we will become.
Republicans and Democrats almost all believe in “free trade” and “immigration”. These things are good for various constituencies of both parties while they wreck the economy and the nation.
Many of the People, perhaps a majority, do not believe in any of these things. But in our existing system, captive as it is to the MSM-mandated “process” for choosing two candidates for POTUS neither of whom will change a thing, leaves the People with no voice.
Something’s gonna blow.
Nice job on the op ed. I agree with you on all points.
