The New American Revolution Part Two: The Power of Ignorance and Fear

Hello once again to my faithful (and curious) readers of this blog. Once again I have nothing better to do, than rant and complain about how our voting and election system (along with our government) has become even more self-serving and corrupt. So sit down, buckle up, and let the bitchin" begin! As I have stated in part one of this series, I would like to try to dissect the political platforms of the candidates running for President of the United States, and compare not only their voting histories, but also their political ideologies (and hidden agendas) so that you the reader can make a true formed decision based on facts and not media or corporate influence. So let me again say, that this is in no way an attempt to sway anyone's political positions or opinions. Everyone has there own idea of how America (hell, even the world!) should be, or how they would like it to be. Yes even in the free-est country in the world, there is always room for improvement. There will always be people out there that do not like the way things are going, and wish for something better. So, right off the bat, you need to ask yourself what YOU think is wrong, WHY it's wrong, and how you can change it. I have not lived very long folks, so I couldn't tell you how America (or the world) was back before oh let's say 1974. At least not without looking it up anyway (God I love Wikipedia) Yes I believe I can still remember events from that year on up.( if you're wondering my age, I was born in 1969. Truth be told though, politics really did not interest me until the mid 80's) So, that being said, I know for a fact that at least since "Tricky Dick" was in office, our way of life has been soured. The truth is that everyone has some sort of hidden agenda. Good or bad, well intended or not. For the most part, we all have a reason for most of the things that we do or that we wish to accomplish, because we are after the "end result". Tactics to get that "end result" successfully accomplished maybe, persuasion, manipulation of some degree, or even plain old fashion "force". If we want our outcome to satisfy our agenda, we take control of the situation at hand. So, for us to believe that people in political power do not have any reasons or agendas behind their actions or voting records, is actually pretty foolish. But you see, that is the power of ignorance. We have been conditioned since our first day of school to think in "black or white" format. Our beloved government who so concerned of our well-being, has taken it upon themselves to educate us on the way the world should work. Thank God for the mainstream media as well! For without them, who would enlighten us on the "evils" surrounding and interrupting our very way of life! But I digress. This rant is specifically for tearing up the dumb-asses running for ruler of the free world. So let's get to it! Pretty much for the most part, people in America do not think in "black and white"(gee, I hope I don't get labeled a racist for using this analogy, sorry to offend) but when it comes down to voting...they do...why? Fear, that's why. We are told that if we don't vote for this asshole, this other bigger, smellier asshole will get elected and really stink things up! It's the same thing I have been hearing my whole life, "Those damn Liberals wanna take my guns away," or " Those damn Conservatives wanna tell me how to live my life!" So why in the hell do we keep voting for them? Something else I hear a lot this time of year is, "If you don't vote, yer just givin' the election to the damn Democrat/Republicans!" "If you vote third party, you're just gonna get Hillary/Trump elected!" Nope, I don't buy it. I refuse to be bullied into submitting to a particular political party. especially one that I do NOT agree with completely. Isn't the whole idea to practice your right to vote for the candidate that you agree with the most? After what my state legislators have voted on recently, I am beyond being afraid of the demise of freedom, I am just waiting for it. I am done being led around by these power hungry politicians that think they know whats best for me and my family. They don't! I am just tired of it! That is why (even though it really doesn't matter at this point) I will continue to vote my conscious, which-by the by- does NOT include Giant Douche or Turd Sandwich! Just something to ponder over when your headed to the booths Tuesday and surrender your free-will. If any of you are interested, I will be concluding this rant with a Part Three, that will hopefully define the true characters of those two clowns. Thank you for your time!
