Left, right wings failing
“My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government.” – Thomas Jefferson
The founders set up our government to be balanced between anarchy and tyranny called People’s Law, where government is ruled by the people. It’s this point freedom-loving Americans need to start emphasizing. Tragically, social engineers were able to reframe governmental oppression using ambiguous titles of left or right wing, when following either to their logical conclusion leads to tyranny, whatever its title.
For all their talk, right-wing politicians haven’t slowed the growth of government, while the left wing never met an idea it could not turn into a government agency. Result: We’re speeding toward a governmental despotism we’ll be hard-pressed to escape. It falls on each of us to become educated on the true purpose of government and get involved in the process. A great place to start is www.campaignforliberty.com, because whether you choose to be involved with politics or not, you will be ruled by those who do.
Our founders created the most well-balanced government in history, based on constitutional law, and until the rhetoric about left-wing or right-wing ideology is changed, we’ll continue falling prey to an ever increasing Leviathan.
