HELLO AMERICA
When is America going to stop listening to and believing politicians who continually lie to them and will not stand up to defend the rights of the majority of their constituents? Since these same politicians get elected over and over, does this mean the American public is brain dead? Doesn’t this meet Einstein’s definition of insanity which is “doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result”?
What really bothers me is how very small minorities have succeeded in dictating government action and policy. Since when have we become the country of minority rule? I do know that corrupt politicians don’t care about right and wrong—only that they get re-elected to continue sucking on the government teat. The threat of a lawsuit starts many government authorities running scared. What this describes is a government which has no moral authority to do the right thing to protect the rights of the majority.
Dissent is always allowable and reasonable, but forcing your view on the majority by threatening law suits is blackmail. When is one of those bright-eyed tech-savvy persons going to start and correctly manage a site which accepts public donations to start and fund an organization that will hire investigators and attorneys to fight the blackmailers? The politicians will not do the right thing, so the public must.
If and when governments start defending what is right, and when they win their case, they must then start civil proceedings for damages and legal costs against the complaining party with the goal of publicizing and shutting down these organizations. It is called retribution and Obama does it all the time.
If you truly want to have input into how we are governed, the country needs The Accountability Amendment (my August 4, 2016 post) and The Federal Judiciary Amendment (my March 31, 2016 post). All politicians will vigorously oppose both amendments because it makes all government accountable to the public with serious consequences for lying and actions that damage our citizens and country.
