The Disunited States of America? Have we as a country come to that point already? Or is this a description of things yet to come? I for one believe we have passed that point seven years ago, if not earlier. Now do I feel that we are destined to fall apart as a nation, or is their yet some amount of hope in our future? Honestly, I really cannot say.
Those on the left, as well as the right, love to throw around the word democracy. Democracy is loosely defined as “majority rule”; however those of us who are awake and aware of the current political state of the nation know the truth. Here in the Disunited States democracy means “minority rule”. If anyone would bother to pick up a copy of the U.S. Constitution they would know that we are actually a republic not a democracy. (To any liberal who may have accidently stumbled upon this blog and have even made it this far, I highly suggest you obtain of copy of the Constitution and read it!) Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary defines republic as: “a government in which supreme power resides in a body of citizens entitled to vote and is exercised by elected officers and representatives responsible to them and governing according to law.”
As the 2008 election nears, politicians from all stripes will say anything it takes to get your vote. To be honest, most if not all of what they say is as indecipherable as that of a babbling newborn. If you listen beyond the sound-bites that appear on the news and read between the lines, you may get some idea of what they really think. In my opinion they don’t think much of you or I. We are just pawns in their game in which they let us believe that we hold true power via the ballot box. The choice is simple, wake up or stay asleep. Unless we stop the madness that is “minority rule”, then our nation as we know it will cease to exist.
