Quoting: ~Newton's Own~ Is that too much to ask? You need to find good honest people with enough money and power to run. Good luck. Most of them are already bought and paid for. Money wins elections. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 79455298 United States 02/15/2021 02:07 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Amen Brother! George Washington addressed the issue of political parties many times and had this to say about them in his farewell address, read this and tell me he didn't nail it: I have already intimated to you the danger of parties in the State, with particular reference to the founding of them on geographical discriminations. Let me now take a more comprehensive view, and warn you in the most solemn manner against the baneful effects of the spirit of party generally. This spirit, unfortunately, is inseparable from our nature, having its root in the strongest passions of the human mind. It exists under different shapes in all governments, more or less stifled, controlled, or repressed; but, in those of the popular form, it is seen in its greatest rankness, and is truly their worst enemy. The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders and miseries which result gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual; and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction, more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of public liberty. Without looking forward to an extremity of this kind (which nevertheless ought not to be entirely out of sight), the common and continual mischiefs of the spirit of party are sufficient to make it the interest and duty of a wise people to discourage and restrain it. It serves always to distract the public councils and enfeeble the public administration. It agitates the community with ill-founded jealousies and false alarms, kindles the animosity of one part against another, foments occasionally riot and insurrection. It opens the door to foreign influence and corruption, which finds a facilitated access to the government itself through the channels of party passions. Thus the policy and the will of one country are subjected to the policy and will of another. [link to www.ourdocuments.gov (secure)] Brilliant guy POTUS #1 |

One that maintains itself by a display of force against the will of the rightful legal government and is successful, at least temporarily, in overturning the institutions of the rightful legal government by setting up its own in lieu thereof. Black’s Law Dictionary 4th Edition (1951) page 504. Wortham v. Walker, 133 Tex. 255, 128 S.W.2d 1138, 1145 As a result, NEW DE FACTO STATES were formed, because new constitutions and new legislatures were formed via the 14th amendment: Please Notice These Facts: 1. When the Confederation ceased to function in 1860, so did the Federal Republic, which was an instrumentality of the Confederation. 2. Neither the Confederation nor the Federal Republic could function during the Civil War, even though the member State of State organizations formed separate “confederacies” — one for the North, calling itself “the” Union, and one for the South, calling itself The Confederate States of America. 3. After the hostilities ended in 1865, The United States of America was not called into Session even though it is the only entity able to reconstruct both the Confederation and the Federal Republic — and also the only one competent to conduct business in their absence. 4. This error has now been corrected. 5. All fifty States of the Union have been called into session. 6. All Americans are called to join their State Assemblies. americanstatesassembly.net is a group of people like the OP is looking for "A party of God fearing, traditional values, freedom loving people made up of regular people, not career politicians.

Quoting: ~Newton's Own~ Regular working people with jobs that care for others. Like it was supposed to be. Enough of this left right two step full of millionaire politicians. It's become so corrupt. We need real people writing their own laws, not lawyers and lobbyists writing laws nobody even reads. Sober, down to earth people need to run this government. What we have is just bullshit. Politics attracts the worst kind of person with very few exeptions. We need real people in there making sensible laws. we need hard working values and freedom to believe in the bible back when we had republican democracy. We used to learn to respect our elders. We had to carry logs and use hammer. Not like any of the millennial snowflakes who thinks eating cheetos in your mom's basement is enough hard work to deserve a trophy and a paycheck. They don't like hard work they want to destroy the stock market we built up with their rebbit princess groups and robinhood buttcoins. Disney snowflake princesses want that instant gratification from when they got a participation trophy for doing a pushup in gym class. They don't know about being in a foxhole.
