Constitutional Republic or Oligarchy?

One party rule is essentially despotic oligarchy. In January 2009, the United States was transformed into an oligarchy, where supreme power was centered in the hands of a few people all belonging to the same political party.

As a result of this “transformation,” constitutional law has been violated, ignored and dismissed by the ruling class oligarchy in the Democratic Party.

The oligarchy decided the people need a health care plan. The people overwhelmingly say no. The oligarchy prevailed against the will of the people: The Constitution be damned.

The oligarchy decided the banks need a TARP bailout instead of filing bankruptcy. The people said no. The oligarchy prevailed against the will of the people: The Constitution be damned.

The oligarchy responsible for the housing meltdown decided it need onerous new financial regulation to prevent what it created. The people said no. The oligarchy prevailed against the will of the people: The Constitution be damned.

The oligarchy decided the sovereign State of Arizona could not defend its borders. The people said yes we can. The oligarchy used the people’s tax dollars to sue the people of Arizona: The Constitution be damned.

The oligarchy decided to take over General Motors and Chrysler, not to save them, but to give the United Auto Workers union 43 cents per dollar on its $11 billion in claims and 55 percent ownership it neither purchased nor earned. The people said no. The oligarchy prevailed against the will of the people: The Constitution be damned.

The Democratic Party represents big, all powerful, socialist central planning, heavy-handed government without normal checks and balances, run by appointed czars who are not accountable to the people. The Constitution be damned.

This is why Democrats always irrationally demand that tax cuts (a savings to the people) be paid for (a cost to the people).

Tax cuts do not require funding; only spending requires funding.

Democrat big government thinking reflects a view that the people are subservient to the government and that the people’s wealth belongs to the government for redistribution. Hence the oligarchy, led by Barack Obama, has no qualms about increasing our national debt in excess of Gross Domestic Product, borrowing heavily from China and harming the national security of the United States.

Currently, the only political parties that represent the people are the Republican Party, a traditional political organization, and the Tea Party, an amorphous amalgamation of people in varied size groups. Both share common ground: limited government thinking reflecting a view of a government of the people, for the people and by the people; of a government that derives its power from the consent of the people; and, of a government that is subservient to the people.

This, then, is the great political polarization in this country today: those who believe in the failed collectivist policies of an unfettered power of big government versus those who believe in limited government, individual freedom and American exceptionalism.

The most important election in our country’s history occurs next month. It will determine whether we can break the oligarchy and return the United States to a Constitutional Republic. “Failure is not an option.”
