Sadam Hussein actually holds elections for President of Irag. I suspect that most people who vote over there know that the whole process is tyrannical. The difference in this country is that the tyranny upon the mind of man is unknown to that mind. We actually think we have a choice here.

How is there really a choice when we are filled from kindergarten forward with the idea that we must choose between democrat or republican? Or when someone tries to break out of that tyranny and asks if they can choose a third party, the standard response is no. We can only choose one who can win.

The democrats tell us (propaganda) that they are for the working man and woman and for the poor and elderly. They also tell us that they are the champions of social justice. The republicans tell us (propaganda) that they are for smaller government, less taxes and that they hold the moral high ground.

We hear these drums over and over and over again. They, the leaders of these two parties, want to convince us to support one or the other and none other than them. The media plays the message constantly, the republican this, the democrat that.

These people, when elected, take an oath to uphold and defend the U. S. Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic. The irony is that, almost to the person, they violate that oath daily.

A close look at the Constitution will show that government not only does not have the power to take money from its citizens to spend on programs of benevolence, but is, in fact prohibited from doing so. With a little deprogramming, it can be shown that these schemes not only enslave the tax payer, but deprave the recipient. This amounts to more than a violation of an oath to uphold the Constitution. It is a violation of Nature and Nature's god.

I diverted a little off course here to show where tyranny actually leads us. There can be no doubt that both these parties subscribe to this philosophy of theft. I wish the crime of electorial tyranny would end here, but it doesn't.

These republicrats, once in power, are like a couple of rival gangs controlling the playing field so that only their players may use it. They first and foremost cut the country up into districts which all but guarantee a victory for either the republican or democratic, leaving only about 15 or so districts competitive out of 435 to create an illusion of competition and choice. In the district in which I live, there is an imbalance of over 50,000 registration in favor of the republicans. This creates a no contest/rigged game where no vote really represents a choice.

Do they stop here? Nope those in power use millions of our dollars to propagandize us again telling us how saintly they are. They have also set up a Federal Election Commision with rules and regulations that acts to exclude all other possible competition. With each new campaign finance reform bill they cement their power even more.

Yet they keep us bickering between ourselves regarding which is worse or which is best. Such great control they have over the masses. Are you under their spell? Are they your masters? Are you a left or right wing socialist or Libertarian?
