Role

Reversal

Once upon a time – in the 1960’s – Liberals, also known as Hippies, were accurately portrayed as anti-war and extremely distrustful of government.  The Conservatives were correctly depicted as maintaining the status quo – government seen as basically benign, corporate ties to government as helpful and necessary, and a nation waging wars for the betterment of mankind. This is what we have today with both political parties maintaining the status quo.  The only true Liberals today are primarily who express themselves as Libertarian and a minuscule sliver of ageing Hippies – in their 70’s plus – from the Democratic Party.

The Civil War – (The War of Northern Aggression) – was the Republican and Democrat apex of difference.  From that point on decade after decade differences narrowed until the early 1990’s their policy driven legislation differences are insignificant.  Only the tone of rhetoric marks the difference with Republicans as the stern task masters and the Democrats with a conciliatory quality. 

Yet in the end not a bit of difference; exampled and highlighted by an overwhelming vote of both houses – signed by the President [Obama] the repeal of the Smith–Mundt Act (July 2, 2012) allowing U.S. government’s broadcasting facilities to deliver programming to American audiences.  Pure PROPAGANDA produced by government facilities then delivered through our mass media in all forms.  The political duopoly has your vote – now there after your heart, mind, and soul.

Now that the lid has been popped off real news no longer has to be repressed by the government.  All that is required in order to bury the truth [the government no longer needs to censor, outlaw, or outright murder], simply produce a continuous kaleidoscope of fake celebrity news, fake mass murders, and fake “talking heads” commentary.

The generations coming up who are Libertarian – socially liberal and economically conservative – understand our stranglehold of freedom is big government AND big business.  Libertarians require these super mega corporations the likes of J.P. Morgan or ExxonMobil etc. have to be broken up.  Just as Theodore Roosevelt did in his time – it is our time as well.  The Federal government with its alphabet agencies needs to be closed as exampled by the F.B.I. that has simply morphed into the secret police.  Or the Education Department, who educates no one, yet dispenses out money for those communities that favor the Fed’s current position such as Common Core. 

Restoring the balance of power back to the States and to local government as well with favoritism towards small business is the path to power decentralization creating the environment for a flourishing Constitutional Republic.
