Democrats vs. Republicans

Let's get one thing straight, two party politics is essential to a strong country. It balances out things and ensures that people have a voice. That is when the parties work in behalf of the people and not the party leadership. Today's political scene is a joke. The parties claim to work for the people, but turn a blind eye to the needs of the American people. The interests of the Nation are put aside for personal agendas and power struggles. Lies are sown like fertile seeds in the hope that they will produce a bounteous harvest for the party.



When the Republicans are in office they are constantly cowering to the Democrats with the ubiquitous thought that they will be out of office soon and need to garner favors from the Democrats so that they don't loose positions and prestige in their various committees. The party heads enter politics right out of the gate with no practical understanding of life and business. This is reflected in their actions while "representing the people" in Washington. Many have the idea that destiny chose them for their office and that they know what is best for the Nation. This is found in both parties. They represent fringe minorities while the majority of America are left without a voice.

Although both parties are similar in attitudes there are vast differences between the underlining philosophies behind the both of them. Let's start from the beginning with each party and see how they have evolved over the years. The Democrats were started as the party to protect slavery. They believed that the institution should be protected by the legislative powers of government and it thrived in the south. The prebellum democrats were heavily in favor of maintaining the blacks in a servile status in America, and because of this post-bellum democrats fought tooth and nail to ensure that blacks although free would never enjoy the full benefits of American freedom. They pushed the Jim Crow laws of the past and refused to accept the change being passed upon by the reconstructionist Congress. They fought Civil Rights legislation for years until they discovered a power in the voting block of the blacks. They believed in the expansion of the Federal government and when the time was right, they seized power with the coronation of the self-proclaimed king of America, Franklin Delano Roosevelt. The New Deal was sprung upon America in a moment of weakness and FDR made it clear to his staff and cabinet that they needed to pass upon as much of the New Deal programs as fast as possible. As soon as the Supreme Court was able to catch up many of the programs were in place and only those programs which could be identified as over the top were deemed Unconstitutional and done away with. It was too late and America was on its way to becoming a welfare state through the socialist agenda of an elitist class in Washington who thought it was their job to redistribute the wealth of every other American with exception of their own. Since that moment Democrats have labored to ensure the promulgation of socialism in America, with the exception of one act by John F. Kennedy when he actually lowered taxes to stimulate the economy and help the United States stay a looming recession.

Now let's take a look at the Republicans. Started to rid the United States of the two pillars of social decay, slavery and Mormonism (go figure, a large number of Mormons are Republicans and the party was started to rid the world of them). The first national Republican to lay aside this bias against Mormonism was Abraham Lincoln, when asked what should be done about the Mormons he responded, "Let them alone." But I digress, the Republicans pushed hard during the prebellum period to weaken slavery in America and during the post-bellum era also known as the reconstructionist era they passed many laws to punish the southern democrats for their rebellion against the United States. For years the reconstructionists were the heroes of the blacks until the democrats started pushing an agenda that would eventually weaken their resolve and destroy the black family unit with the disease of socialism and welfare mentality which to this day plagues the minority households of America. Republicans have built a reputation of supporting small government and lower taxes. This has mostly been in word only and very seldom in deed. Once the reconstructionist Republicans lost power in the House and Senate all legislation coming out of Washington was geared toward more socialist programs and larger government, and the Republicans in office did nothing to stop it. Today's Republican talks a good story but does nothing to back it up. They allow the media and liberals to label them and do nothing to fight back. The only thing that separates today's Republican Party from the current Democratic Party is one desires more socialism and the other more power, you determine which is which.

We are locked in the middle of a Party war. Both parties want power, and will do and say anything to acquire it. Once in power the Democrats will listen to nobody but the Party heads and do only that which they are directed by them no matter the consequence. The Republicans on the other hand once they gain power become apologetic and tip-toe around the issues doing nothing but try to make friends with the Democrats, when the Democrats are not willing to reciprocate any concession by the Republicans. Our two party system is not a give and take, bi-partisan system working for the benefit of a stronger America, but a rogue system eating away at the moral fibers of the American political system established by The Constitution of the United States. Those of us who adhere to The Constitution are left scratching our heads wondering were is the voice of America. Are we to sit idly by and watch these two parties tear apart our Constitution to suit their own agendas? I for one refuse to be a spectator of this scene of hypocrisy and kingdom building. We are Americans, we have no king but the King of the Universe. We have no aristocracy in America but these politicians believe otherwise. America must remain free, we must adhere to The Constitution in order to remain free. May each of us enter this fight and may we be victorious in our efforts. God bless America and establish us a free people under His divine guidance and direction.
