A Rant of Sorts

It makes me feel better

I started working on my musings of a hypothetical change to Socialism in America a few days ago. But, then I was interrupted by watching CNN and reading my internet news aggregator, and became distracted.

I have remained distracted and can’t get into the frame of mind to continue my musings. How can I when so much else is happening that should be holding everyone’s attention in the run up to the November 3rd election?

Are you sick and tired of the inept politicians of the “two” political parties and their sycophant followers? When did America get to the point to where they give up any independent thought and just follow along like sheeple? The issues mean nothing to the followers. The get told their respective leader will “fix” it all and that’s good enough for them. They don’t ask how or for any specifics that will reveal the truth of their leader’s plans. Instead, they go with the “just trust me” attitude projected at them.

I know that a large number of Americans don’t give a damn about politics until it’s time to elect a new President. The party affiliated don’t even listen to all the politicking going on before the election. They don’t need to since they’re mostly party line voters. They exercise their right to vote and immediately return to tuning it all out until the next election.

What these very followers do is fail their countrymen and countrywomen by abrogating their duty to work to make the Republic the nation it should be. These “silent” Americans are the very people who bring the divisiveness to the United States of America. They are too blame for not stopping the destruction of the country by the obscene rich and their corporations of destruction.

There are those of us in this country that are trying to overturn this ugliness called Capitalism, with it’s subordinate political structure to keep everything in place so that they can continue their quests for mega-riches and power over the rest of society. You, who sit on your asses in your oblivious life, caring not one bit for the hell all around you, allow this to happen.

You people are responsible for the suffering of the people. You people are responsible for allowing repressive leaders to rule over us all with disdain, laughing at us for our ineptitude. You people are responsible for the elite you allow to continue stealing the resources of the nation. You people are responsible for making the people poor, sick, tired, hungry, and mistreated. You people are responsible for allowing the continuing of centuries of racist hate that flows through America.

You people, you silent Americans, are responsible for condemning America to become a third-world country. You people are responsible for standing in the way of what is truly life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

This America has had it’s chance. You people have had you chances. It’s no longer your right to interfere with the changes that must be made.

Stand with those fighting for a new America, or get run over and left behind. It’s your choice Silent America.

Until next time

Open Letter to the US Military

Sworn to Protect and Defend

Greetings Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and Coast Guard members.

Whether you are on active duty, in the Reserves, or in the National Guard, each and every one of you from the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to the enlisted E-1’s have given your sworn oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States from all enemies, foreign and domestic.

Well, the time is rapidly approaching when you may have to exercise your oath from a domestic enemy, Donald Trump. In this election year, in an interview with Chris Wallace of Fox News, President Donald Trump has publicly refused to state whether or not he would accept the results of the election should he lose . Besides this interview, President Trump has repeatedly tried to convince America that mail-in voting is ripe with fraud (patently untrue). In 2016, when he lost the popular vote, but won the Electoral College, he claimed that there were “millions and millions” of people who fraudulently voted at poling booths. Further, by his own insistence, he added a wealthy donor to his administration as Postmaster General. Right afterwards, a series of directives have the USPS in turmoil and have caused slowdowns in mail delivery. President Trump then uses this slowdown to argue that the USPS will be unable to deliver mail-in votes in time to be counted. While a bill was passed in the US House of Representatives to provide billions for the postal service, President Trump and Senate Republicans are blocking funding. He is building his reasons to refuse to step down as President,

President Trump is well known for doing things his own way, even if his actions are criminal. He has had people in the White House defy the Hatch Act, he has ordered the stripping of rights granted by law to the LGBTQ+ community, he is trying to remove protections for Americans with pre-existing medical conditions by having the Affordable Care Act (ACA) overturned, he has used public funds to pay his own resorts on Presidential trips here and abroad, and he has had his campaign refuse to pay the costs to cities around the country for extra security provisions when he’s appeared there, just to name a few.

He is unafraid of being held accountable for anything he has done, or will do while in office. But, why? It is clear that Donald Trump plans to try to hold on to power if he loses the election. He wants to move from being an elected president to becoming an authoritarian dictator of the United States. He will have help from his base of white supremacists/nationalists. These supporters are frothing at the mouth to have a civil war to accomplish President Trump’s goals.

Make no mistake, there are white supremacists/nationalists in the US Armed Forces that the Services are trying to deal with. These members must be revealed for who they really are and removed from every branch for the good of the service and for the protection of the nation. It is incumbent upon every service member to report these racists to their command authority. Otherwise, how can the American public maintain trust and faith in our armed forces?

Finally, each service branch must be prepared to stand again President Trump if he loses the election and refuses to leave office. His continued presence would be in violation of the US Constitution each of you swore to protect and defend. It is your duty. Any officer or enlisted member who refuses to act to remove Donald Trump in this situation would be a traitor to their oath and American people. The only way he can continue after losing the election is to have the US military backing him. The military is needed in order for a dictator to rule. Do not succumb to being accomplices to such treason against the United States of America.

Let no tyranny overthrow that which you have served honorably!

Sincerely,

An American

Ending the Two Party Lock on the US Government

Both at the State and Federal Level

Are you tired of the two party political system in the United States? Would you like to see a system wherein third party candidates can succeed in being a representative for the people? Is there any way this can be accomplished, to break the two party stranglehold on American politics? Are you wondering how? Okay, let me explain an idea (certainly not the only idea either).

First, let me say that any change to break the two party hold on government will likely require some alterations to the US Constitution. The Constitution will be an integral part of this new political system. There will still be a House of Representatives and Senate as well. Making it possible for third party representation in Congress will provide a benefit that we do not have at the moment. It will provide a greater representation of the people. There are those who don’t want to vote for either major party candidate. While they could vote for third party candidates, they do so knowing that their candidate won’t likely win.

So, how do we end this problem? We change the form of our elected officials at the state and federal level from what it is now to a Constitutional Parliamentary form.
