We are fast approaching the mid-term elections on November 2nd and, from everything that I’ve seen, nothing will change after the dust has settled. The headlock that the Democrats and Republicans (two political parties that are entirely interchangeable) will remain and Americans will simply replace one tax-and-spend politician, looking to line his or her pockets with money and power, with another. The Libertarian candidates across the country, over 800 strong, have once again been almost completely ignored. Nothing’s changed. America is a country of addicts, addicted to fighting for the crumbs that our government offers them in exchange for keeping their good ship “Duopoly” afloat. This is the end result of generations being taught by government controlled schools and the union-backed teachers in them. “The road to hell is paved with good intentions.” We’re firmly on that road and the dead end that we’re rapidly approaching will be the necessary event that will finally shake Americans out of their drunken stupor and realize that, for nearly 50 years, we’ve been selling our souls to the devil and now the devil is here to collect the “balloon payment” on the note. If you think the last 4 years have been rough, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet!
