On the Need for a Political Insurgency

Lawrence Sellin, Ph.D. / Family Security Matters

An increasing number of Americans are recognizing that the United States no longer has representative government.

Politicians seek election, not to uphold the Constitution and serve the American people, but to obtain power, and to use that power to accrue partisan and financial benefits for themselves and their major supporters.

It should now be obvious that, there are no untainted elections, there is no rule of law, there is no means to petition elected officials or the courts for the redress of grievances and there is no independent press to challenge governmental abuse.

In other words, all the traditional avenues to fight the corrupt practices of political expediency and crony capitalism have been blocked. 

The method by which the ruling class maintains the corrupt status quo is by fostering a culture of political dependency. The Democrats create a culture of dependency by expanding government control through limitations on personal liberty, entitlements and tribal politics. The Republican establishment produces a culture of dependency by limiting choice, selecting candidates and carefully managing primary elections to produce a pre-determined outcome. Republicans want to remain the sole alternative to the Democratic Party and preserve their membership in the ruling class by cooperating with the Democrats and the media to maintain the illusion of choice.

The leaders of the Democratic and the Republican parties have ignored their oaths to support and defend the Constitution and enabled Obama to execute unconstitutional and irresponsible policies, which have endangered our national security, undermined our liberties and consistently thwarted the will of the American people.

The media have facilitated government corruption by misinforming and misleading citizens. Rather than challenging power, they have become the mouthpiece of the Obama Administration defending and serving the interests of its far-left agenda.
