Our present political system has obviously failed. Our founders tried to anticipate human nature but as founding father John Adams once remarked:
“We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge or gallantry would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution is designed only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate for any other.”
You were so correct on that Mr Adams.
Mr Adams was also quite pessimistic that once liberty is lost:
“Cities may be rebuilt, and a People reduced to Poverty, may acquire fresh Property: But a Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored. Liberty once lost is lost forever. When the People once surrendered their share in the Legislature, and their Right of defending the Limitations upon the Government, and of resisting every Encroachment upon them, they can never regain it.”
Another quote:
“There is nothing I dread so much as the division of the republic into two great parties, each arranged under its leader, and concerting measures in opposition to each other. This, in my humble apprehension, is to be dreaded as the greatest political evil under our constitution.“
I would have disagree slightly with Mr. Adams on one point. America was able to function reasonably well with “two great parties” and until this last election the transfer of governing political power from one party to the other was always performed peacefully with the understanding that the peoples unalienable rights were sacrosanct.
That has been thrown out the window.
Because the Democrats the party of slaveholders which became the party of the Ku Klux Klan, Jim Crow, and later labor unions, has over the decades morphed in to a Marxist/Corporate Fascist party that like a parasite took over control of all academia, the media, the government bureaucracy, the FBI, and the Courts. Also they’re close to taking control of our Armed forces.
The opposition party, a.k.a. the Republicans; began as the anti-slavery, emancipation, civil rights party. But over the course of decades it lost the will to fight for American principles especially during President Trump’s frst two years in office and the disgraceful performace when the election was being stolen right before their eyes. They were simply paralized with fear,
“Oregon Muse” has the complete take down of the worthless, useless GOP here.
Now let’s hear from “Cappy” on what his ideal political system would be if we’re ever able to pull out of this deepshit pit America now finds itsef in.
