2016: Constitution vs Liberals & Conservatives

In a nation founded and built by Constitutional Patriots why are so many people happy to become something else?

America never became great because of diversity, liberal values, conservative principles or the two parties selling those fraudulent concepts. America became great because of our Constitution and the Patriots who lived by it. Along came liberals and conservatives and our constitutional republic began to unravel.

Ask yourself, if the people promoting conservatism, progressivism or liberalism were Patriots fighting to protect and promote our Constitution would they mask their efforts behind such ambiguous labels with no clear definitions? Liberalism and conservatism are names that mean whatever the speaker wants them to mean at the moment and definitions shift as our social/political landscape changes.

Abe Lincoln was our first Republican President. His position against expanding slavery into new territories categorized him as a liberal. Republicans began as America’s liberal option. Conservatives were the southern Democrats and northern sympathizers who believed slaves were property they were entitled to. Jump ahead 150 years and conservatives are now voting Republican, Democrats consider themselves liberals and neither party represents basic American principles or supports and defends our Constitution. Both say they do, that is concrete evidence of the fraud in labeling.

Why are such sub-groups promoted in our society? Obviously the names are meant to identify political philosophy but the parties already have names, why add ideological labels? Because when parties stray from voters ideals they need new marketing angles to fool voters with, hence the rise of conservatism and liberalism within established parties. I am not just a Republican, they made mistakes, I am a conservative Republican so I want to fight to make the party represent me. I am not just a Democrat, they made mistakes so I am a liberal Democrat fighting to make Democrats represent me. Instead of leaving parties voters are provided many camps under one roof so they are content to stay on board fighting other party members yet uniting to preserve the party when elections roll around.

At that point people are no longer focused on the best interests of our nation and future, the focus becomes, “What must we do to save and advance our party?” The parties become the highest power and focus of all political activity. Every aspect of this reality is in direct conflict with our most basic American principles of the People owning and controlling a government that is forced to represent us. This is nothing more than ancient divide and conquer strategy used by parties to preserve the power and financial structures they have gathered around themselves for their own gain. It took a long time to make parties more powerful than the people they pretend to represent and they will do anything to keep that power.

Now we see why our Founders despised parties. They knew parties were a necessary evil but they also knew self-government could only succeed if the People were protected from the parties which always grow to serve themselves and loot nations. Our Founders were right; they watched it happen in the English Parliament and the histories of republics and democracies. Political parties have been used as vehicles of corruption by power hungry thieves since voting became a demand governments were forced to submit to. How do you keep the People from destroying bad parties when our Constitution was written so we could?

How can parties keep the power that brings wealth to their insiders and favors to their friends under a Constitution that never even mentions parties? Simple. You convince the People there are ideological wings of the party that can fill their every desire as long as the People just stay with the party long enough to accomplish their dreams. This is a scam repeated for centuries, why do you think the parties wanted federal control over our entire educational system? It is so the people do not learn this. Our education system had to be tailored to avoid teaching citizens about our Constitution and our Founders dread of parties. They had to weaken the People so they never realize all of our rights were written just so parties can be easily replaced to preserve and protect our nation.

No Democrats and no Republicans in power will tell you these truths; honestly, many are too historically illiterate to know. Neither party represents citizens our Constitution or basic American principles. There is no Democrat or Republican official that has told the truth of our Founder’s warnings about parties anytime in my long life. The truth would take away the power and wealth they crave and extract from us.

Early Americans had much better education than we get today. They knew all of this. When our Founders offered them our Constitution they rejected it. They told our Founders to go back to work and add in a Bill of Rights to protect us against the dangers of political parties and the bad things they do to governments and the People. They got those rights. It is no accident the first protected Right they received was freedom of speech and freedom of the press.

The entire reason for our 1st Amendment was so our media could warn us of bad behavior by officials and parties. They were to be our unbiased watchdogs of government activities and our Constitutional Rights. They were to sound the alarms and stir the People to action against constitutional violations because that was the only way we could preserve our country. What does our media do today? They are now a weapon used by parties to help preserve and protect the entrenched powers they were never supposed to have.

Our national media and almost all of our local media is now corrupted by party influences and has taken stronghold positions defending one party while attacking the other. Do they do their constitutional duty of informing the public of violations of basic principles? Yes, but only violations by the opposing party. They each favor one party or the other and work to preserve that un-American power base because they gain great personal wealth protecting party cronies. The most powerful voices and networks in media are becoming fabulously wealthy abusing their influence while working in support of corrupt parties for their own gain. There is not one shred of constitutional truth or basic American principles coming from conservative or liberal radio, TV or print news today. All are completely in bed with the parties they are supposed to be watchdogs over.

The other day I listened to Rush Limbaugh. He launched into a long rant about conservatives claiming they alone care about our values, they alone can save us by taking back the GOP then worrying about America after the party is saved. Mark Levin, Hannity and Beck all promote this same “party first, America second” lie. While all talk about our Founders and principles they avoid truth because they are promoting cronies under the false label of conservatism. They are careful not to promote any Constitutional Patriots; they promote pure GOP, their preferred GOP. They are seeking to influence our system by helping cronies gain power so they have officials in government beholding to them. The wealth this travesty showers upon these syndicated hosts is in the tens of millions of dollars per year. Meanwhile they tell half-truths or blatant lies disguising the ambiguous label of conservatism as patriotism.

Liberal media was first to do this in my own lifetime. Employing their own brand of deceit, spin and lies they have managed to help bring minorities firmly into the camp of the Democrat Party. This established a solid voting block for Democrats they can count on no matter how badly they fail the minorities. Liberal media has convinced many that Democrats are the only defenders of the working man, the families who struggle against the mega-rich who oppress them.

This tactic is common to the party based media on both sides: create and define the enemy then convince those who feel at risk their only protectors are in the party of the media stars. They sell the sham ideologies of conservatism and liberalism as the good vs bad teams and voila! The media has helped steal a nation for parties and our Constitution and rights of self government are no longer part of honest debate. It is all about the parties and no one is defending us, basic principles, our rights or Constitution.

Do you need more evidence? Consider this: Republican and Democrat voters have been taught by media to mock and belittle the other side for their loyalty to a party that abuses them. Even while the chosen party can backstab, ignore and take for granted their most loyal followers those voters are solidly behind them because media has brainwashed them into self-destructive support. There is NOTHING the party can do that is so dirty, so unfaithful or so damaging that the most loyal will seek to replace them. From this media driven mass insanity we witness the spectacle in every election cycle. There are only 2 groups of American voters who consistently provide 95% of their supporting votes to parties that have abused them for decades yet retain their absolute loyalty. Democrat liberal minorities and Republican conservatives. Both get nothing from the parties they are religiously faithful to yet neither group will consider using constitutional rights or basic American principles to save themselves.

Both of these groups are barraged daily with the powerful influence of party media and both will tell you they know what they are doing as they mock each other for doing exactly the same thing. They know they are right because they are liberals or conservatives. None of them are Constitutional Patriots. No ConPat will accept being taken advantage of because the first and most important trait of being a true American is defiance and demanding integrity from government. Intelligent and informed Americans walk the talk, they do not submit to decades of failure. Failure can only be perpetuated by convincing voters they are liberals, progressives or conservatives and keeping them in corrupt parties instead of acting like Americans and destroying the parties that are destroying us.
