Politicians Pursue Folly of Successful Bipartisanship to Solve America’s Ills

Today I received an email from two persons who are convinced that all it takes to solve the problems of the United States is to get people together and sit down and talk to each other.
This is not only 'wishful thinking' it is utterly misguided and folly. The best that can be hoped for with this scenario is "more of the same" or the birth of a larger group of "RINOs" or "Liberals". The two persons that sent me the email are Nancy Jacobson and Mark McKinnon, Co-Founders of a group called, No Labels. And they have two middle of the road politicians who have pledged to lead them: Governor Jon Huntsman and Senator Joe Manchin. The email authors have titled their initiative "PROBLEM SOLVERS" and I have noted here in regular print the four main points upon which stress must be placed in order for our problems to be solved. Following each of those main points, I have printed my response in italics to show my comments on their venture.

PROBLEM SOLVERS:

  • Elected officials used to be able to work together to solve our nation's most pressing issues
They (elected officials) used to be able to work together because they "used to be" supporters of our United States Constitution. Today our nation has become divided by Socialists and Communists who have captured the Democrat Party and oppose all the fundamental principles that were laid down to form the greatest government ever created by man.
  • But today, Washington's hyper-partisan environment makes it hard for leaders to work across the aisle
Forget the notion that today there is a "hyper-partisan" environment making it hard for leaders to work across the aisle. It is impossible to "work across the aisle" not solely because of any partisanship; but mainly because of the loss of soul from one partisan Party who have abdicated their dedication to, as stated above, the principles of our Founding Fathers and the tenets set down in our beloved Constitution.
  • No Labels is working to build a group of elected officials willing to work together to solve problems
Without working to restore the values and priorities of our Constitution the problems facing our country today stem not from being willing to work together but rather from one party surrendering its basic beliefs to the dregs and degradations of socialism and communism - two totally foreign credos to the Americans that were "born" when our Constitution was signed in AD 1787.
  • The congressional problem solvers are a group of House and Senate members who will meet regularly to build trust across the aisle.
Unless and until any and all problem solvers return to their faiths and beliefs in our Constitution and reject socialism, communism, and foreign laws and religions any purported "trust across the aisle" will be falsely given and grounded. We must have and restore full faith acceptance in our still existing Constitution. For my last remarks on this endeavor of two notable politicians, I must begin by saying that I honestly do appreciate ANY person or persons who attempt to bring order and stability back to our beleaguered country. All this would not have been necessary if foreign elements encouraged by the ultra heavy weight of divisiveness from the United Nations and our very own Executive Branch of government had not agreed to destroy our Constitution and our Rule of Law. A plan such as this is pure folly and not worth one penny of taxpayers' funds to attempt. I've stated over and over that to the Liberal Democrats, bipartisanship means "Do it our way." The only successful plan is to bring the people back to the government that we knew before socialism and communism captured one whole major political party. We don't need to brainwash the people, just wash their brains clean of the sickness otherwise known as socialism and communism. Then and only then will we regain the country we had before.
