Well, it's been a while - my bad! I've been feeling really political here lately, and I figured I'd share my thoughts on things happening and whatnot. Here are some of things that I can't stand: flip-flopping, communism, and loss of liberty. This country's political state is horrible. We have an election coming up and yet there are maybe 2 people who I'd like to see win. They haven't flip-flopped, but they've done some things I don't like.
Before you ask, I am a Constitutionalist. I believe the constitution is still the best way to run this country. Therefore, I am an independent. One of history's greatest men once said this,
“However [political parties] may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion.”
The man, George Washington. He was asked during his second nomination which party he represented and said the above quote. He said that the day our country has 2 power parties will be the day it starts to fall apart. He we are...
**Fun fact - George Washington was asked if he wanted to be president a third term since he was so popular. He declined as he didn't want the government to be viewed as having unjust power and becoming what the settlers had escaped in England.**
This guy could see the future.
Fast forward to the 21st century, you have 2 parties with total opposite ideologies, moral standards, and ultimate goals. We are in a cycle of wash, rinse, and repeat. for a few terms things are going great, then someone destroys that foundation and builds it up the opposite. Been going on since the 1800s and it's sad. Our country's citizens are fighting, racists, hateful towards one another. Worse yet? It will probably never come to an end. Alas it's human nature. One day, I hope to see us be a peaceful national union.
Only time will tell.
