I think it's obvious to most of us that we face an overwhelming number of very big problems. Everything from wars, to environmental calamities, to an evaporating industrial base, to unchecked illegal immigration, to half the population being on anit-depressants. There really is no end to it. I think we all recognize the need to get a handle on what is happening to this country. But the big question is, where the heck do we start? Practically every area needs fixing. Somehow we have to pick through the garbage heap and start prioritizing problems, start by addressing the root problems that are causing a lot of the other ones.
There's an effort underway called the Kick The All Out Project that has done just that. Since a great many problems we face are due to the fact that those with the most wealth and power control our Congress and as a result can get all the legislation passed they need to make all their exploitative and destructive activities legal, this project targets the task of taking back control of our Congress as the first order of business. Until that happens, it's virtually impossible to solve most of the other problems. So long as these kind of people dominate our entire government, our entire political process, we are never going to be free from this downward spiral. Our best interests are not even on the table anymore because we just allow these people to keep getting away with stuff that to you or I would have us locked up quicker than spit.
Please check out The Kick Them All Out Project
There is a complete project summary online or as a PDF download. It provides and actual, doable plan of action to remove the two most corrupting influences in government, powerful special interest lobbyists and the career politicians that have turned out government over to them. If you really want to do something about the mess we're in, join the revolution to take back our Congress. Until we get deadly serious about doing something about the mess we're in, it's just going to keep getting worse. We need to seriously consider the 'radically simple' course of action outlined in the Kick Them All Out Project Summary. Think about it. Pass it onto your friends and family. Make it a serious topic of discussion in online forums and chat rooms. Call into radio talk shows. It's the only plan I've ever seen that gives us a practical way to mount a full frontal assault on the criminals that have taken control of our government.

Is Your Allegance To This Country Or To A Political Party? |

Our political system is supposed to be set up to allow us to elect representatives that will look out for our best interests and defend against the inevitable tendency of those with the most wealth and power to exploit their advantage over the rest of us. One look at the current state of politics in this country and its’ pretty obvious the inevitable has happened. So much so that those with the most wealth and power have literally taken control of our entire government and political process.
They have distorted the purpose of elections from a way to choose worthy representatives into a big sporting event to determine which of the two dominate political parties will control the purse strings in Congress. They have successfully conned everyone into believing that the whole point is whether or not your 'party' wins. It’s become nothing more than another big American sporting event. If you doubt it, just imagine what a crowd screaming and yelling at a football game looks like and what a crowd at a major political convention looks like. They may be dressed a bit better at the convention, but there’s not much difference in the way they act. And when the game is over, all we really get is to feel we either won or lost. And really, nowadays, even the winning team starts to feel they actually lost as well. When Congress resumes business, we see that absolutely nothing of consequence has changed for the people controlling the game.
For many, there is nothing more important than winning, getting 'their party's people' into office, regardless of whether or not those people are actually going to be the best people we can find. In fact, we know most all the people we get to choose from have sold us out long before they ended up on the ballots. We know full well we never get anything but a pile of opportunists and we get to pick the least bad choice. Virtually all of them have been completely groomed to make sure business as usual continues in government. They are primarily career politicians that know full well “we the people” have very little to do with who gets elected.
I mean really people! How many of you can look anyone in the eye, and with a straight face, tell them that out of over 300 million people in this country, out of all the good, honorable, intelligent people we have here, the best people we can come up with to represent us is the lot that are trotted out for us to pick from? This has been going on for so long now that entire generations actually think this is the way politics is supposed to work.
Well, I’m here to tell you this is not supposed to be the way it works! If we don’t shatter this left/right contrivance that only serves the interest of those with the most wealth and power, we are not going to survive as a nation much longer. This left/right paradigm does nothing more than facilitate the tried and true method of divide and conquer the ruling class has used throughout history. It works. It’s the easiest way to appropriate most of the wealth and power for themselves, while we’re all bickering and fighting over nonsense. They literally see us as the stupid masses, nothing more than sheeple. And it’s sad to say; we act like it most of the time.
I personally don’t care what party a person belongs to. I only care if they are interested in honoring their oath to defend and protect my best interests, this country and the Constitution. I’m only interested in if they can speak candidly and honestly. I only care if they are willing to eliminate corruption on all levels and enforce the rule of law. Right now, we primarily have a bunch of liars, cheats and political opportunists that see serving in public office is a sure way to wealth and power. Right now, the people supposed to be representing US are selling us out at every turn. They are supposed to be ‘public servants’ not “officials” that can simply write laws that make all their criminal activity and their masters criminal activity legal! By continuing to go along with party politics at this point will only ensure that we continue to have criminals and professional liars at the helm of our government.
Our allegiance should be to each other and this country, not political parties. Allegiance to political parties leads to what we have now. Blind support for the pile of criminals, on both sides. Supporting people unworthy of support simply because you don’t want your party to loose is absolutely insane. It’s the behavior of the stupid masses. We really need to snap out of this contrived left/right conflict and start being much more concerned about what’s best for this country, what’s best for all of us. The first step should be to take a big step back and look at what we are doing and how we are being played for fools.
