Well, so the political conventions have graveled to a close, and all the politicians have gone home for a few days before coming back out to lie, cheat and steal whatever they can without getting caught, too often.
For the first time, I didn't really watch either one of them; my string of 'can't-miss' years dates back to 1960, when I watched both the major conventions for the first time. Now the string is broken, but it doesn't seem too much of a loss.
Over the years, perhaps, like so many people, I've become somewhat jaded about the process by which politicians aspire to higher office.
Looking back, how many times have we heard that Joe or Bill was going to save us, or better yet save us from ourselves? Waaayyyyy too many times.
Both sides treat us like we're totally unable to care for even our basic needs without a helping hand from someone we don't even know; the bureaus, commissions, departments, districts, authorities, cabinets, offices, etc., almost all un-Constitutional, boggle the mind of even the most dedicated government geek.
Each party rants and raves about the other, but neither side rails against the rape of our Constitution, our laws, our liberty and our dignity.
They know what's best for us; truth be told: neither one of them has even met me. That's the problem with government: one size government programs are assumed to do the same for everyone, ignoring differences that are obvious to all but the candidates and those who serve them.
That's why our Constitution was written; the framers knew a thing or three about tyranny, and wrote it to severely 'bind down the government in chains'.
Since that time, tyrants in all three branches of our 'co-equal' government have worked overtime to overturn that document, while all the time claiming, so help them God, taking an oath to uphold it. They're all liars.
Even the candidates who claim to be in agreement of the Constitution will tell us, with a BIG smile that they will halt the desecration, but only by slowing the rate of the decline, not stopping it.
And, neither party wants anything to do with any candidate who takes his oath of office seriously; Ron Paul comes to mind.
Even though most Americans, if made aware of his beliefs, would tend to agree with him. That awareness will never be presented, as the major parties control ALL major media in the United States, and will never rebel to the point of reporting the truth.
