Political Parties and the Snowball Destruction Effect They Cause:

I would hope that someone would read about President George Washington at some point and his dismay at the factions created by “Political Parties’ that admonished him to warn against creating them within our new Continental Congress. As he thought them to divide, rather than unite, to segregate rather than unify our New Countries Values and Interests…

I would also note he is the only Political President that was non-affiliated with any Political Party. Here – Here: to George Washington – and his Principles, that came to dismay him as he witnessed the divisions of and development of what he called the “Spirit of the Party” essentially derailing the values of our new Democratic – Republic.

President George Washington thought that possibly a Parliamentary Government may be partial to such a system of a “System of Parties”, but not within the new Democratic – Republic that the United States had with great dedication – hard won and endeavored to create.

I have written on this subject before, valuing the Great Presidents, such as George Washington, James Madison, Abraham Lincoln, TDR, and FDR, that valued Principle before Party. As FDR, a Democrat, sought the support of his fellow Republican TDR: Teddy told FDR it is not important which Party you align with, just do not let the “Bosses Run You”: ( The: JP Morgan’s, Rockefellers, Kennedy’s, or the Wall Streeter’s). This made for a caring and wise leader that disavowed corrupt – self-serving “Party Politics…” [PERIOD].

I am dismayed today that we are so “Political”, rather than based on “Integrity” (Individuality). And that has divided us as a country to rather: “Pigs in a Poke”, given to selfish ego based-party-behaviors, rather than given to “Integrity” which is the Latin for “Individuality”, hence honesty and self-reliance.

We as a country live in the greatest country truly in the World, but we have forsaken the values that the Founders, so well understood, and today are sadly dismantling our common sense of ethics and values… Most Clearly…

We are a fortunate country – make no mistake; but also, a sadly an ever-growing disgraced country… With our PC and pompous do-gooders, belittling the courage and values that once made us Stand-Up for Something, called “Integrity” and made us Great…

To those – today – that are offended by feeble Politically Correct, Words, not Actions – GROW-UP… Go sue yourself for your stupidity.

Politics, must yield to Common Sense, Humor and Good-Will or it will crumble and dismantle a society and our Nation… End of Story! For those that distain the Common Sense of our Humanity in behalf of hate and evil, found in the bowels of selfish behaviors born by ill-will and careless political discourse, I can only say: damn you… Your dispositions and attitudes are selfish and evil, and have no place in a Country based on “FREEDOM”… Please take your ill-will and leave this country, as you are a disgrace to the greatness of our Founders and Leaders that created the Greatest Country on Earth…!

This Country is still a progress in motion and has much to account for and improve on given its beautifully written principles… That is a FACT. But it is still a country with seminal principles, which will stand the test of time… And we have more work to do to improve ourselves and our ultimate goals of “Goodness”, Fairness”, and “Equity for All”, not only for our own country but to promote these values for all of Humanity…

If you disagree, then please express your displeasure in replying to my own beliefs. It is fundamental that we communicate, not with disregard for each other, but with complete consideration of each other, underpinning our “Communication” … Once we achieve that goal, we will be a Team, and Unified, versus Segregated: Which Only pulls us Apart!

That will give us the power to build on “Goodness” for All, but not until we disband labels and segregated belief systems that dismantle our WILL to live for “Goodness” for all…

NOTE: I usually do not engage in Social Media, right or wrongly, that has been my choice, but as I have watched the current Politics of our Country and the World, promote a demeaning rough housing, of personal attacks of individuals – in my opinion – thus I am turning off news channels and editorials of a very petty based news quality – as I see it today… I for many years enjoyed the news – but I do not anymore.

We have so much good in the world and we waste it on demagoguing and berating one another rather than uplifting… Our 7 by 24 news cycle has seemed to become a stagnate cesspool of cheap gossip, rather than a crisp rolling brook of insight and beauty, harsh as that truth may be…

And our Honor of Journalism is in Decline, as a Result…

This is just one person’s opinion, but I believe it is worth musing over…

Kind Regards to All as you hopefully consider my thoughts,
