A New American Revolution

The time has come for the emergence of a third party in this country, for no other reason than to save the Republic itself!

Surely there are enough people in this great land of ours who are not a party to the extremism on both sides of the aisle in Congress.  What we have now is a country paralyzed and divided artificially by the arch-conservatives on the right (Republicans and Tea Party imbeciles who are screaming for more and more budget cuts, repealing the health care law, not funding emergency agencies, pulling funding for middle and working class families, running from science and common sense and generally waving a political flag that has little basis in reality.) and some arch-progressives on the left (Democrats who won’t rest until we have the government doing everything but wiping our behinds, and who won’t bridge any chasm between a welfare state and what is really possible.)  Everyone else there is too concerned about their re-election and making sure they get a ‘recess’ every three weeks to focus on solving the staggering problems that need immediate and rational solutions.

There is stasis between these three groups who don’t represent the vast majority of sensible fair-minded Americans who understand that compromise must be found to solve the major problems that hinder our action and planning for a productive future in a changing world.  We are all out here scratching our heads and wondering where is the reality in our government.  Why are the emotional idiots in Congress who only think about their re-election posturing making decisions for all of us?  Watching the pronouncements by Republicans and Democrats about the nefarious motives of their adversaries is sickening.  None of them is thinking about the country---only themselves!

There is only one thing left to do…..we must elect all new congressmen and women who are rational; who don’t have vested interests and are not ‘bought and paid for’ by the various lobbyists and influence peddlers in Washington.  There needs to be a leader to spearhead this new movement—someone with some common sense who is not worried about a second term.  Someone who understands the founding principals of this democracy—that compromise, common sense and fair play are the best assets of a participatory democracy.  Let us reject the sniveling vitriolic, biased and basically stupid people who are power hungry and love to hear themselves speak.

We have a watershed year next year.  There is an election in November, which is the time we must do what many thought unthinkable and impossible.

  We must have an electoral revolution if we are to save ourselves from disaster. 

I urge all thinking people with at least one foot anchored in reality to start looking for people now who can carry the banner of a new party that wants to save America from the idiots.  Talk to your neighbors.  Talk to your friends.  Talk to anyone who will listen to reason and start formulating plans at a local level to seek out people who want to compromise, who understand that ALL citizens must participate and sacrifice.  We must cut wasteful expenses and find ways to increase our revenue by making everyone pay their fair share of the burden.

If you look at the field of potential people who currently hold the reins of power, or think they have the capacity to intelligently govern, there can only be despair in your  hearts. 

Rise up Real Americans!  Put on your thinking caps and actually think!
