Are We in A Partisan War?
The Post “Horse Latitudes” discussed how we are throwing ideas and people overboard in several different ways.
The Post “The Government “Of The People, By The People, For The People” Is Here!” discussed the chance we have next year to change that, given the heavy load we are carrying and the chance to change the BAD habits the career politicians have to this day.
This Post attempts to differentiate the idea of Partisanship and Ideology and explains why, as Americans, we really have JUST ONE IDEOLOGY.
In the article “Americans’ Dismal Views of the Nation’s Politics¹,” the Pew Research Center leads their statistical article with the definite negative findings of their inquiries.
Americans have long been critical of politicians and skeptical of the federal government. But today, Americans’ views of politics and elected officials are unrelentingly negative, with little hope of improvement on the horizon.
With a subtitle that concludes —
65% say they always or often feel exhausted when thinking about politics.
Though, it is very clear that they are negative about politics. The article also points out —
Americans’ unhappiness with politics comes at a time of historically high levels of voter turnout in national elections. The elections of 2018, 2020 and 2022 were three of the highest-turnout U.S. elections of their respective types in decades.
They tried to explain the inconsistency as “different from being satisfied with the state of politics.” How is that a sufficient explanation?
The inferred explanation seems to lie in the second paragraph.
Majorities say the political process is dominated by special interests, flooded with campaign cash and mired in partisan warfare. Elected officials are widely viewed as self-serving and ineffective.
The Word “Partisan” is very popular with reporters and writers because of its association with partisan warfare. These are people not in the military who have allegiance to a flag that groups them together to “fight the enemy” with hit-and-run tactics. Sometimes, all partisans have a common enemy; they overlook their own differences. When the “enemy” is within the house, they fight each other.
The image shows Pelosi ripping the Speech of a President of the United States — it is demonstrative of a completely different base of ideology. Clearly, it is not based on either the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution. It could be said that was a dog whistle for those who do not know any better.
The Declaration of Independence
“When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another…”
We declared to the World that our Ideology about what a man is radically different — Instead of one “man” is to be a “King” and others are servants…
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”
It took us a while, but today we are there. We just need to agree that the “Amendments” of the Constitution are just examples given to us by the founders to understand our rights are given by GOD, not by the government. The “president” is not a king — The People each is a king.
Our Constitution is our official guidebook on how to govern the country. It is the “constraint” for ANY ideology a political party has.
It is up to us, the people, to hold politicians' feet to the fire when they run astray of our Constitution. They don’t tell us what is Constitutional. We have to tell them when they are lying through their teeth!
Why? Because if we don’t, they will continue to grow a tangent to our path, and eventually, we will have a Socialist government in our hands.
Socialism is one step away from Communism — a totally different ideology.
Our ideology is the toughest to follow because it requires each person to see for their own and their family. Being good neighbors and helping each other is the key to the future. This requires hard work and innovation for a better future.
Ideology
While all the politicians are happy throwing rocks at each other or, like Trump, giving people demeaning nicknames and relying solely on one message (“Make America Great Again”) without being specific about HOW (who?) HE will make it so. Vivek (Vek) has a complete message of how he will do so.
The only way a man can work without shackles as President is to enlist all of us to get there. As he says in this short 60-second embedded clip. This means each of us needs to tell our representatives in Congress what we want if they are going to get re-elected.
Rich people and Corporations may contribute all they want, but without OUR VOTE, the politicians are going nowhere.
If WE ALL count, we need to make it count with protest letters to our representatives and vote accordingly at the poll to get ourselves back to the DOI and the Constitution.
