Vox populi?

Dear Emeritus: What are the chances that, after more than 200 years, we will ever become a constitutional Republic? Meaning: a sovereign people? Stop laughing, will you? It is a serious question. Our rulers are steadfastly preventing the population of The United States from becoming a people. Those thugs hijacked our νόμος, the rights and obligations of citizens. We are nothing but a herd of voters, every few years driven, supplied with empty promises, into the voting booths so we may choose the “lesser evil.” The States are worldwide in position 47 in the category “Freedom of the Press.” The Journaille, spokespeople for our ruling elite, are, of course, too intimidated and browbeaten, to speak up. Nor do they appear to care. Have you ever considered how you are being manipulated? How you regurgitate political ideas, by rote, just like a good apparatchik, of your party’s programme? The establishment, which gives Obama a Nobel Peace Prize for purely political reasons, is a sham. Rudolf Hess, risking his life flying under Hitler’s orders to England to make peace, dies after decades a prisoner in Spandau, which was maintained as a prison for decades just for Hess. Hate is what keeps them alive. I grew up constantly hearing about the evil apartheid regime in South Africa while a few miles from my home Millions chafed under a murderous, cruel, brutal and oppressive evil dictatorships. And the world competed fiercely with each other by beating a path to the door of those thuggish oligarchies. What do we know about our Representatives, except for the letter behind their names? How long is the list of things we thoughtlessly accept? That we even entertain to vote for any of those cretins running for President does not speak well for us. Electing Obama as president, drawing down shame on us and our progeny, will be held against us for all of our history. He will be forever a dark spot (no pun intended) in our electoral history. Because we are so eager not to be called racists we elected the worst of them all. Right in the kisser, Alice!
