Solomon Fri, 01 Aug 2008 17:21:14 +0000 http://faithinactiononline.com/?p=707#comment-4357 According to the Canon, it is God’s intention to change the political systems of the Earth; why won’t we start now, China, Russia and other nations have modified their systems? It is time for repudiation, if not a wholesale rejection of the historical Democratic/Republican election system in America. In my mind, the current system represents the kind of venal communist system (whether true or not but that's what we called it) that has controlled the destiny of Americans and America for far too long. Americans are given only two choices! Change happened before; when for example the Republican Party replaced the Whigs. We have also witnessed reversals in the planks as well as demographic shifts in the make-up and construction of either Party over time, which has resulted in the current Red state, Blue state divide. All of us witnessed during the most recent Primary cycle the wholesale manipulation of the system as evidenced in the Florida and Michigan elections, not to mention what happened in Florida in 2001, Bush v. Gore, as well as the ongoing fraud and manipulation that goes on behind the scenes. Under the current often gerrymandered, political and 2-Party-controlled system, one must ask, does my vote really counter for anything? Under the current system, previous voter rights legislation withstanding, how many black votes still do not count? And which Party is doing anything about that fact! My vote this year will represent a repudiation of the entire system. Voting for either candidate or either Party this year will simply represent voting for a failed system and politics as usual. God bless Obama’s heart, however, if he were to prevail he would simply be presiding over a failed system and politics as usual. It is time for something new! Neither Party is addressing, in my opinion, the real problems in America, to include greed, class-stratification, political manipulation of the economy, wealth concentrated in the hands of the few, political corruption, America's growing permanent underclass, political debauchery…, which perpetuate all of the social and economic problems that we have been witnessing. What happened to The Social Contract, what is the reason for a society in the first place? A thousand mile journey begins with one step; it is time for Americans to stop complaining and to begin to do something about the problem. Otherwise, can you imagine who will be President in 5 years, Newt Gingrich, perhaps Rush Limbaugh or is David Duke still somewhere around? Americans complain about immigration. Black Americans wake up for America is reaping what it sowed when it comes to its immigration problem. America crossed over its borders and took over Iraq. And if you think about America’s history, the colonists simply walked across what are now known as American borders and took over this land, not to mention Hawaii…! Ironically, much of what Mexican immigrants are taking back was there’s in the first place! And America participating in the crossing over into Africa's borders and swift-boated 4-25m Africans to the Americas, depending on who you believe. God is not mocked, America is reaping!
