The Two Party System Is Killing America

(Originally posted 12 months ago as "Will America Survive The Two Party System?")

In the 15 months since the Obama regime was established, we have seen very well what the far left has in store for America.  Not only is Obama and his cohort not following the Constitution, they are attempting at every turn to make our Constitution irrelevant.

I won’t bother to go through the litany of excesses of the Obama administration, I’m sure you’ve all read it many times.  I won’t attempt to list the number of times that Obama or the Congress have thumbed their noses at our Constitution, I’m sure you’re all angered and sickened by it, and yes, probably more than a little concerned, or even frightened by it as well.  I know I am!

To say that we must vote these socialists out of office in November goes without saying.  I’m sure there is no question in your mind that Obama must be a one term president if America is to survive as a Constitutional Republic.

If the Obama crowd is voted out though, who will be voted in?  Surely, if we can get the socialists out and get some good Republicans to replace them, all will be well,  right?

To be honest, I’m not so sure.

Remember, the first bailout in 2008 (The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, $700 billion worth) was signed into law by then president Bush.

True, after 9/11, Bush faced some unique challenges, but the fact is, he signed every budget handed to him by both Republican and Democrat congresses.  Each of those budgets increased deficits substantially.

Bush signed the “No Child Left Behind” education bill as well as the Medicare Prescription Drug bill, one of the largest entitlements ever signed into law.  Both of these bills were given to the president for his signature by congresses with Republican majorities.

With the recent passage of Obama’s healthcare bill, there was a huge outcry from the GOP to repeal the bill.  That is, until the “cooler heads” of the party began to reassert themselves.  (see The American Spectator, Republicans Against Repeal)

Now, apparently, the GOP sees that Obama’s healthcare reform actually has some good aspects.

So, the question I have been asking myself recently is, if our choices in November, and in 2012, and into the future are Republican or Democrat, will America survive as a Constitutional Republic?

The best answer I have been able to come up with is, we will survive somewhat longer with Republican administrations than Democrat, but, sadly, in my opinion, the bottom line answer is, no, we will not survive.

Whether quickly or slowly, we are all being enslaved by our government.  No longer a government by the people, it is moving toward its own ends without the consent of the governed, without the consent of “We The People”.

My wish for America is the same as that of President Lincoln,

…that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom — and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

Is it time for Americans to reject the current political power structure and form a new party?  A party, of the people, by the people, and for the people?
