A Century of Bipartisan Tyranny

[Kevin_Kennedy]

"Americans are tired of partisan bickering. They are looking for their representatives in Washington to put partisanship aside and get to the work of the American people."

Statements like this have become a mantra over the past few decades. Like Democracy, "Bipartisanship" is now held up as an ideal and an end in and of itself. It would seem that no matter how ludicrous or destructive a policy might be, it must be just and beneficial if both major political parties agree that it should be law. Implicit also in this reasoning is that a truce between the two rival gangs in Washington, D.C. on any particular issue represents the consent of the governed for that policy -- a fallacy that is becoming increasingly exposed as the American people begin to take to the streets.

article excerpt:

" Whenever the two parties reach some dubious consensus, as they currently have on Keynesian economics, we have to endure the typical gloating about how "Republicans and Democrats came together in a bipartisan manner" to "get the work of the American people done." There is the implication that these parasites somehow made some sacrifice in putting aside their differences to agree upon what usually amounts to another scheme to loot more of the American people's rightful property."


Could anything be more truthful?

That covers a majority in the public offices. The thing is what are people going to do about it?

They're dragging this ship down together and taking us with them. Nobody will pull their heads out their asses long enough to actually use any reasoning or perception skills and look at what is acutally happening. Believing partisan hype is too comfortable and doesn't require much of a brain at all.

A LOT of us understand the duelopoly.

The problem, as I see it, is that we cannot agree on the solutions that we think should be done instead.

God guns and gays are basically the tools the masters use to divide the people, in my opinion.
