So many people feel confused, disenfranchised and forced to vote for people they don’t know and parties that they don’t like. Much of our problem is created by the political parties and the media who are causing all the polarization in our minds. It’s a multifaceted thing.
The Democrats and the media are pushing all types of leftist agenda and their own power. The Republican establishment is pushing for its own power. None of any of that is pro-American despite their claims. Much of it is
anti-American and anti-Constitution. These are the primary causes of our confusion.
Like The Federalist Papers recorded:
(Quotes from THE ORIGINAL ARGUMENT by Glenn Beck & Joshua Charles)
“Hamilton, Madison and Jay believed that the Constitution offered a workable plan for organizing a federal government. They appreciated the fact that embedded in the Constitution was the commonsense idea that humans are fallible creatures who cannot be trusted with too much power.”
page xxix (Introduction)
“Americans have never been unified by our politicians….
but rather by our common values and virtues.
These principles, many of which are enshrined in the Declaration of Independence and Constitution, make up the core of who we are.”
page 8 (Part One Introduction)
“….Hamilton argued, the sinful nature of mankind naturally meant that a perfect system could never arise from imperfect men.”
page 9
“We must still remember that intolerance has always characterized political parties.”
page 14 (Federalist Paper #1)
“No one should remain stubbornly attached to any political party….”
page 39 (Federalist Paper #85)
“The (Constitutional) Convention must have enjoyed….an exemption from the pestilential influence of party animosities, the disease most incident (most likely to happen) to deliberative bodies, and most apt to contaminate their proceedings.”
page 68 (Federalist Paper #37)
“….public policy is rarely examined with a calm, moderate spirit….”
page 69
“The genius of republican liberty seems to demand that all power should be derived from the People, but also that those entrusted with power should be entirely dependent on the People via SHORT TERMS IN OFFICE.” (my emphasis)
Leftists use distortion, emotional appeal and forced compliance. A free person cannot tolerate such methods. Leftists cannot stand on truth because they don’t believe in any truth but what they claim is true. To them there is no absolute truth.
Peaceful and orderly citizens cannot support the hatefulness of Leftists. Leftists label calm, sensible and true discussion as hateful. They do not deserve our attention or regard. They are destroyers, not builders.
Get a grip, all you decent citizens! You have to know who your enemies are. So much of our current “culture” is mostly destructive leftism. Very many of our “leaders” are leftists.
Our underlying problems are out of control government and media-fostered ignorance.
(News, information and entertainment media desire controversy to justify their existence.)
Most of us would rather vote the man, but we keep getting offered the next party hack
in line. They destroy their own party members who love God and America, the very ones we should be electing.
America is about the grassroots, not the tree tops!
I can’t emphasize this enough. America was built for every human, not just certain men. If freedom disappears at the grassroots, this isn’t America anymore, just another dictatorship of the elites!

This is one of my meditations and themes for the last several years. It is like a unfathomable, universe-wide subject. This is a good starting discussion of this subject. It is packed with meaning.
Humans are made in GOD’s Image and HIS likeness.
That Image in humans is this: our individual spirit & attributes.
The reason is so that we can relate to HIM. Our excuse that GOD isn’t human and a figment of our imagination is totally destroyed by Jesus. Freedom is in this discussion.
GOD created humans to be able to relate to HIM. Jesus came to be our individual, sinless Lamb of sacrifice. He will come again as the Messiah that the Jews are expecting but it will be to return believers (all those who have chosen to believe forever) to the Eden relationship with GOD. {The Biblical book of Leviticus is what perfect obedience would look like.
I finally understand its meaning and use.}
What GOD and a human creates are reflections of themselves. They are alike enough for the ...

While it is humanly impossible for humans to be totally good, we always can do much better than we have been doing if we individually want to do so! There is no concept that humans can totally achieve in this life. This applies individually, in groups or collectively.
The pathologies of today’s culture are apparent. However, they are called benefits & loudly proclaimed. They must be clearly seen as dangerous & wrong to our once-free country!
They are deliberately destroying Christianity, our country, our families, our individual personhood & our individual freedoms. Does this seem to be too extreme a statement?
Our media are calling evil “good” & good “evil”. Should that be totally right & silently allowed? Free speech & opinions must not live there? Freedom of speech is not absolute. This severe problem should be curtailed & limited within the proper bounds & situations!
Is it possible or allowed to seek those limits that do not destroy freedom of speech itself?
...
I do not support ANY, ANY political personality cults!!!! Left, Right, middle, it doesn’t matter! If you take the political part out, it is still so! Is this clear enough? I don’t support cultish “groupyism”!
My expectation is that any American who wishes to serve America in a political office would speak and act in support of our cherished American principles that are reflected in the best writings of our founders and all sensible people since then!
I am disgusted by the pragmatic politics and the excessive partisanship that the media love, especially for Democrats, it seems. I am disgusted with the pro-to-total leftism in our media. They do not represent thinking, peaceful citizens’ views! Individual humans are all over the belief spectrum with the issues. That is why discussion is necessary!
The people that I enjoy watching and reading at least attempt to tell the truth as they see it and are willing to listen to varying opinions and discuss them! From libertarian to center ...
