The Consuming Fire of Party Politics

We are about $10 TRILLION in debt as a country. Who created this debt? The Democrats AND Republicans. They've BOTH FAILED us. Why should we be giving them chance after chance to rob us? Seems like after someone steals your money once, you'd be a little less likely to give him control of your money again.

That's exactly what we do, though. The idiots holding office in the democratic and republican parties continue to squander the wealth of America, and when they run out, we give them more to blow through. Why?

The zeal of party politics has become a polarizing distraction from the actual issues. George Washington warned that this would happen if party politics were not kept in check. After his second term, in his farewell address to the nation, Washington warned, "Let me now take a more comprehensive view, and warn you in the most solemn manner against the baneful effects of the Spirit of Party generally.... A fire not to be quenched, it demands a uniform vigilance to prevent its bursting into a flame, lest, instead of warming, it should consume." This is exactly what has been going on in our country for the better part of a century, slowly building to the point where the people are completely blinded by party loyalty.

Party loyalty is WRONG. You need to do what is RIGHT, not what benefits your party. If you support your party simply because it's your party, no matter what it means to the health and viability of the country, you border on treason. Thankfully, many Americans are beginning to look away from the party flame to see the wrongs that are being done in the name of party loyalty. It's sad that our economy almost collapsed before many began to see the flaws with blind party loyalty, but there is hope. You can turn away from the left-wing, right-wing single dimentional scale and see the world on a more dimensional cartesian scale. There are 300 million people in this country. More than 2 are qualified to be president.
