Father
Devourer of Truth
The existence of Political parties in this Nation is nothing new. from the Demo/Repubs vs the Federalists *before the democrats and republicans split* to the current monopoly of the system by idiots wearing blue fighting against idiots wearing red.
all and all we have been dealing with this stupidity for a while. one would assume that's just what this country was meant to be. those people are uneducated.
In Geroge Washington's farewell address. you know. the Washington. the one president who didn't actually want to be president but everyone just made him one because he was that good. the man who when he died Napoleon. yes, Napoleon gave a speech and had a 10-day requiem and the entire British royal navy *which was huge and a big deal back then* flew all flags at half mast. you know the nation whom he rebelled against and won. yeah, that Washington.
in his farewell address, he warned about 3 things. that we should have adhered too. but today we shall be focusing on the first one. about Factions.
1. “The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders and miseries, which result, gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual; and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction, more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of Public Liberty.”
2 “However Factions (Political Parties) may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion.”
It was never the intention of the founding father's for us to end up with party politics like this. such is something corrupted upon us and not designed. Democratic party. Republican party. green party. any party is unamerican and inherently Evil. and I rarely use that word due to its subjectivity but if I had to label something vile with it. it would be both Left and Right. for either or to say they stand and represent this nation is a joke. both represent nothing but themselves.
Ironic. is it not? that the greatest President we have ever had was a man who first. truly served this nation and won its independence. second. did not wish to ever represent the nation but did so out of a sense of Duty and Community service. who could have run for a lifetime but stepped down after 2 terms in fear if he died in office it would set the bar. a man who was unanimously voted across the board and represented no faction or ideology but that of the people.
we worship the constitution like it is a Bible and the founders like Gods yet do neither of what was intended or in our benefit. truly.
and is why I scoff and laugh at any who call themselves "Patriots" and yet when it comes time to choose they choose whoever wear's red or blue. not even if they sit well with they themselves or are good for the nation. not even if both suck. they still chose. even when there is an unpopular choice, even in vain. they could still vote for a third option. yet they do not. they stand steadfast in their ignorance. such people are no Patriots but feeble minded and pathetic slaves to Tyranny.
and should be ashamed to call themselves American
