Summary

The website content critically examines the detrimental impact of partisanship and the influence of career politicians and big money on American democracy, governance, and societal division.

Abstract

The article "Are You a Partisan?" delves into the concept of partisanship as a tool manipulated by career politicians to control the populace and secure campaign funding, rather than representing the true values of the electorate. It argues that partisanship stifles curiosity and critical thinking, leading to blind adherence to party lines. The piece underscores the unethical alliance between politicians and big money donors, which undermines the principles of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. It suggests that the current state of governance, influenced by the "Administrative State" or the "fourth branch," has eroded the moral law and the rule of law in the United States. The author contends that America's foundational moral laws are being compromised by the creation of arbitrary regulations and the manipulation of the electorate through partisan politics, resulting in a divided nation and a lack of genuine progress or adherence to the nation's founding ideals.

Opinions

  • The author believes that partisanship is a divisive construct invented by career politicians to maintain power and control over the populace.
  • Career politicians are seen as prioritizing campaign funding and re-election over serving the interests of the people, leading to a cycle of unethical behavior and cronyism.
  • The influence of big money in politics is equated to modern-day slavery, with corporations exerting undue influence through financial contributions, which should be considered illegal.
  • The article suggests that the true meaning of being an American is being lost, with the essence of American identity no longer rooted in the principles of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.
  • The Administrative State, or the fourth branch of government, is criticized for usurping the authority of the people and for creating a system where the rules of engagement are no longer consistent with the nation's moral and legal foundations.
  • The author posits that the proliferation of regulations and the actions of the Administrative State have led to the infringement of inalienable rights and the erosion of a unified moral law.
  • The piece condemns the partisan use of social media and biased news outlets for perpetuating polarization and preventing productive civil discourse.
  • The author emphasizes that the government's role is to uphold the Constitution, not to create its own laws or regulations that contravene the foundational laws of the land.

Are You a Partisan?

The Career Politicians invented “Partisanship” to control the people with “their” set of beliefs — none have to do with the essence of who we are.

Partisanship does not allow for a curious mind.

partisan (n.)

also partizan, 1550s, “one who takes part with another, zealous supporter,” especially one whose judgment is clouded by prejudiced adherence to a party, from French partisan (15c.), from dialectal upper Italian partezan (Tuscan partigiano) “member of a faction, partner,” from parte “part, party,” from Latin partem (nominative pars) “a part, piece, a share, a division; a party or faction. “Etymology Dictionary.”

Meanwhile, Career Politicians, both Ds and Rs work hard on cronyism with megadonors — competition for those dollars wins elections — They run by appealing to Partisan ideas. Then, we use that to throw moral rocks at each other. Quote from email:

PARTISANSHIP IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. From a Vivek Ramaswamy email titled “Closed-door donor summits” on October 16, 2023, 9:24 AM, Snagged from the author’s email.

Do we know what being an “American” means? What it means to be an “American is disappearing” means different things for different people — If it is not because of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, what are we?

ALL career politicians truly believe “Partisanship” is what they need to do to win — Big Money Supports that because they are like slave owners; they want to manipulate society and the LAW to their liking.

Like the Phantom of the Opera, working behind the Curtain, Big Money (BM) shows up for major elections so they can get their way in the future. The “Career Candidates (CCs)” and Big Money(BM) get together to agree on how they will “get the Votes;” it is all an unspoken understanding of favors while in office. This is unethical — Corporations (legally created people) donating money? It ought to be ILLEGAL because it is unethical. On the contrary, to this day, it is the norm.

Again, like the Phantom of the Opera, the “Candidates (CCs)” mouth the words according to the “music” about following “The Constitution,” but they don’t. They pay The Constitution “lip service” and speak from their teeth forward. Meanwhile, they really want to take the government to their boat and drive it through the sewer for their own purposes.

THINK ABOUT IT, WHY ARE WE WHERE WE ARE?

WE, “AS THE PEOPLE,” ARE GOING NOWHERE! JUST LOOK AT OUR DEBT — IT ONLY GROWS — FOREVER AND EVER.

We, individually, may be geniuses. However, the Government, for the last 113 years, believes we are a “collective” set of dummies good enough to keep loading with DEBT while they do as they please.

Buying Votes

FORBES, Oct. 10 2023 “The Biden Administration is exploring a new option of how it could cancel student loans for millions of Americans and hosting a series of hearings beginning Tuesday to review the scope of the Higher Education Act, a potential second option for the administration after the Supreme Court rejected President Joe Biden’s first plan over the summer.”

CONGRESS “CREATES ACTS, AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE STATE WRITES ALL THE “REGULATION” WE LIVE UNDER!!!

Forbes, “The 2021 “Unconstitutionality Index”: 19 Federal Rules And Regulations For Every Law Congress Passes”

“Trump actions notwithstanding, the regulatory enterprise has enormous heft and makes most laws. Indeed it is difficult for any president acting alone to streamline things permanently. Already Biden has rolled back much of the Trump deregulatory regime.”

Afterward, for four years, we go on complaining about the “tangential” effects we get from politicians’ decisions, and we, like good partisans, “blame it on the other side.” Where do we get that from? Bias News and Social Media (SM).

“In the 2024 U.S. elections, … ,” By Hamish McKenzie

“In recent years, the way political discourse has played out on social media has been incendiary. The business models of the legacy social platforms have favored the promotion of content that piques emotion, stokes conflict, polarizes, and tribalizes — to the extent that it has become almost impossible for productive, civil discourse to take place there.”

NONE OF THAT IS WHAT AMERICA IS ABOUT

WE ARE HERE TO GUARD OUR MORAL LAW

A Logic Tree made by the Author based on “The Declaration of Independence.” Created in PowerPoint

Our Moral Law logic derives three main clauses for us to exist as a “Nation”

  1. Our Belief System — “ANY government derives its power from the consent of the people.” This is the original force that drove our forefathers to declare Independence from the oppressor at that time, England.
  2. Decent Respect for the opinions of Mankind. “…a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
  3. When any government becomes destructive to these ends … We fight.But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. … … in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States” “Their Duty” here is “us,” “The People.” this is our Moral Authority.

Today, BM and the “Administrative 4th State” have usurped all our authority and made us believe we are just like sheep that are herded by a few dogs that bite (influencers).

WE HAVE ONE MORAL LAW

Candidates do not decide their “moral law” by using “ACTs” created by Congress in concert with the Administrative State to buy votes or following the money and giving BM what they want so they can turn around and “manipulate us” any way they want (not paying workers what they are really worth for their time — time being the ONLY precious resource we have). Ditto goes for the Administrative State that now is clamping down on our inalienable rights to separate and incarcerate people unlawfully.

The GOVERNMENT Is Here to GUARD and FOLLOW the “Law of the Land” — The Constitution

They are not doing that.

The creation of the “Administrative State (the 4th Branch)” Broke our “SYSTEM of Government.”

Today, we have NO Moral Law and NO Law of the Land, meaning the “Rules of Engagement” are BROKEN — They are a Sham. “WE” no longer have a “System” of government.

Today, there is another box that has been added outside of the red box below that reads — “Administrative government/4th Branch”

The Constitution Articles I, II, and III establish the THREE BRANCHES OF GOVERNMENT (Executive, Legislative, and Justice), their Powers, and their rules of engagement— Chart created By the Author in PowerPoint.

TIME, May 26, 2023 “More than 1,033 people have been arrested for storming the U.S. Capitol building on Jan. 6, 2021, with charges ranging from obstruction of an official proceeding to assault. But 28 months after the attempted insurrection, a significant number of rioters are still awaiting their sentencing.”

The “Administrative Government” Creates NEW “Rules of Engagement” every time they write a new “Regulation”; thus, we have NO unique Moral Law for all the people. We ARE divided into parts — Chart created By the Author in PowerPoint.

THIS IS US — THE PEOPLE.

We all have inalienable rights; we all get to be treated one way. NO GOVERNMENT IN THIS LAND CAN MAKE ITS OWN LAWS UNDER SHAM REASONS (The Administrative State). It does not matter how we “color it”; we have ONE MORAL LAW and LAW OF THE LAND, or we do not have it at all.

THESE ARE THE EFFECTS OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE GOVERNMENT AND PARTISANSHIP.
