Arguments against political parties and rule by the mob aka majorities
http://dprogram.net/2010/10/13/jesse-ventura-us-should-abolish-inherently-corrupt-political-parties/
Like
many Independent voters we have become all too fed up with the American
Political system. Jesse is lucky to be able to have his voice heard.
For now. As a Veteran, Pro-Wrestler, Former Governor and TV Host, he is
trying his darnedest to wake the American people up. What America needs
is leaders, not career politicians. Let
us face it, politics is a rich mans club that caters to the
corporations, special interests and wealthy. The rest of us are just a
source of income that they milk. Right now, we are showing dangerous
signs of being milked out. Corporations have now gained more
rights than a human being and can officially buy politicians. Both
Political Parties know this and are in on the game. They really have
become corrupt and many of us saw this since the 1980. Go back and look
was running in elections in the last 30 years and who gets invited to
the debates. It is an exclusive club. Sure, there are fringe issues
that make them seem different. They even make it seem they are
antagonistic with each other. But look at the business that they agree
on, that they work hand and hand over. Look at who pays into both
parties in campaign contributions and you will see the same
corporations and lobbies financing both. The political system is now
fully rotten to the core. Jesse is right to think they’d let in a third
party unless it too was completely rotten and bidden to big business,
special interests and support of Israel.
To me the Republic was dying a slow death and in 2000 it died.
What has replaced it is a very evil monster that will devour our flesh
and rot our souls. Who will save us? Too many of the citizens are
asleep or fled from the horror. If we think it is bad now during the
Greatest Depression, just wait. When those who defend the Constitution are considered terrorist threats, you know the Republic is dead.
If the laws are meant to be followed, why are there different standards
for rich and poor, that the Government can also feel immune towards and
politicians can opt out of? What is worse, the Military is in on the
scam, heck they are in bed with too many corporate interests to
actually protect Americans. The CIA and other agencies are even worse.
They are being trained to herd us like cattle into FEMA pens if we ever
have a true uprising. They are fighting occupations for corporate interests in the bogus war on terror.
When I see politicians bowing to foreign interest before the needs of
its citizens I know the Republic is dead. All those trade agreements
were designed to make us slaves to the once all mighty dollar as they
shipped all the good jobs over seas to cheap labor markets. Augh! I’m
waiting for China to pull the plug as they control the American
Government’s life support by loaning us funds to keep operating.
Besides the illegal drug trade and the tax payers, its the only way
they can continue to operate. Think back to the late 1990s and the
scandals of the Democrats and getting financial contribution from
Chinese interest. Yet it was under the Republicans that sold the
American Dream to the Chinese. What hurts me is that there are still so
many good people in America. They just need good leaders. Looking back
over the years, seems when they do to those good people who try to rise
and want to be good leaders, they either become corrupt once in the
system, smeared and damaged so they drop out, or they are murdered.
Kennedy’s death sent a clear single that you will pay a price to go
against the powers that be.

"Ventura
elaborated, "I believe the system is so corrupt, the two parties have
corrupted it so bad, that any thirty party, in which to be successful,
will likewise have to corrupt itself. If you already have a two-headed
monster, why would you need three?"
"Notice
I lump them together," he says. "I don't distinguish between the two
because it's very much like pro wrestling. You (give) interviews on TV
like you hate each other, to draw crowds and attention and make money.
But behind closed doors, you'll go out to dinner with each other. Well,
the Democrats and Republicans are the same way. They're not
adversaries; they just make believe they are to the American public."

Corrupt Political Class wants to retain itself even as 65% of Americans want entire Congress gone
65% Favor Getting Rid of Entire Congress and Starting Over
A
new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 65% of
Likely U.S. Voters say if they had the option next week, they would
vote to get rid of the entire Congress and start all over again. Only
20% would opt to keep the entire Congress instead. Fifteen percent
(15%) aren’t sure. (To see survey question wording,

No
individual or group can legitimately "vote" for what another, or
others, should or should not have, do, etc., without the prior consent
of the other individual or group. Thus no one can "vote" for a
"government" to ostensibly "govern" a non-consenting individual or
group. It is ludicrous to try to "justify" any notion that a "majority"
should be able to "vote" on how other people should be coerced.
========================================================================
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep deciding what's for dinner.
Without a constitution, democracy is just mob rule,
easy to sell to proles, but fundamentally immoral.

America is not a democracy, it's a representative government. Just thought I'd throw that out there :)

The
British political philosopher John Stuart Mill took this principle
further. In his essay On Liberty he wrote, "The only purpose for which
power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilized
community against his will is to prevent harm to others." Mill's "no harm principle"
aims to prevent government from becoming a vehicle for the "tyranny of
the majority," which he viewed as not just a political but also a
social tyranny that stifled minority voices and imposed a regimentation
of thought and values. Mill's views became the basis for much of
liberal political philosophy since, whether it is free market or
economic liberalism or social liberalism.

"Prohibition Is The Golden Goose Of Terrorism!" Cops Explain Why Marijuana Must Be Legalized
Most
people do not realize that up until the late 19th century the very
idea that the government could criminalize what citizens consumed was
not even considered. What people chose to consume was a basic liberty. All people alive today were born into a system where it ISN'T considered a basic liberty. But it is. Governments
have, little by little, been taking away one liberty after another. Of
course, they always have a "good reason" concerning the safety, welfare
and protection of society.
Does the US Constitution empower the federal government to prohibit items like beer and marijuana?
