It’s My Party and I’ll Cry If I Want To

How did we get here? We’re watching the Democrat and Republican parties self-destructing in front of us. The Democrat voters showing little interest in the presidential election process and the Republican establishment giving their base the middle finger. Both parties have long gone their own way. They have built, with our money, a political power machine that is unprecedented in American history, an unholy alliance between big government, big business and big media…FASCISM.

Alexis de Tocqueville, the celebrated French political thinker and historian said it best, when he traveled the United States in the mid 19th century…”The American Republic will endure until politicians realize they can bribe the people with their own money.” And bribe they have. For at least the last 80 years, politicians have spent our money buying our votes. Lyndon Johnson said in 1963 when creating the “Great Society Program”…”These negroes, they’re getting pretty uppity and that’s a problem for us…Now, we’ve got to to do something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference…I’ll have them n*****s voting Democratic for the next 200 years.” There wasn’t a black democrat to be found until 1935. African-Americans were totally republican, and rightly so. It was the Republican Party that abolished slavery. The black community, to this day, still believes that the Democrat Party, is their only hope because black leaders like Sharpton, Jackson, Waters and Rangel continue to sell, from their lofty perches, empty promises while they, like their fellow politicians, prosper.

While most of us were not looking, Washington, D.C. has been turned into a political Sodom and Gomorrah. Every major decision put to the political and special interest test with the Democrat and Republican establishments joining forces to keep their lavish lifestyles and power base. Both parties left their constituents long ago. Since President Reagan left office, both parties have walked through the doors of American political and monetary success, closing the doors behind them…and no one has seen them since. When a personality like Donald Trump comes along and threatens the machine, they take notice. Trump is like a General Patton, a knack for political incorrectness, saying the right things in the wrong way, but with an uncanny willingness and ability to get the job done. It is not Trump we celebrate, but the willingness of an outsider to get involved in the political process, putting everything on the table, bucking the corrupt system, ready to insert the enema. The importance of this presidential election cannot be overstated. It will decide our future, as a nation, as a people. This may be our last chance to fix what is broken. If we can’t, we’ll have plenty of reasons to cry.
