One-Party State: The Republican Monarchy.

A BUZZFLASH EDITORIAL

September 22, 2004

If the Republican Party weren't so successfully tied into basing the sale of their rule on deceptive Orwellian phrases -- that mean the opposite of what they say -- they would be honest and run on the slogan that most characterizes their anti-democracy government: "Looking Backward."

Yes, looking backward is what the Republican Party does best: looking backward to a nation that is governed by one outlook, one political party, one dynasty. They are looking back to the time before the American Revolution when America was shackled under the Monarchy of England, and oppression and suppression were the kindling wood that lit the fire of the American Revolution. Under the Bush Cartel, we have experienced a de-revolution based on deception and cynical sloganeering in which the word liberty becomes the actuality of suppression, in which freedom becomes big brother monitoring, in which economic opportunity becomes "Royal Court" cronyism, and in which accountability becomes replaced with serial lying.

We have a Madison Avenue government that claims it is providing us with Kevlar vests, when they are just wrapping the nation in defective tin foil. The bullets aren't going to be stopped by tin foil, but the mainstream media, which gains its profits from advertising, is into enabling the deception. Even an utter incompetent can run -- and ruin -- a nation with a teleprompter and an amen media chorus providing cheerleading commentary and news coverage.

But the concept of the one-party state is inherently corrupt. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. That was the case for Stalin, for Hitler, for Franco, for Castro, and for the Bush Dynasty. It was also the case for King George, the one our American patriots rebelled against. The Republican Party has brought us back to pre-Revolutionary times. We are just errant, incapable children of the Monarchy, Bush and his Royal Court believe. The "wise" king will make choices for us, because we do not have the wisdom of the royal bloodline or the divine Biblical worldview at our disposal.

Call it what you will, but the Republican Party is looking backward to a form of government that is a stranger to democracy. It is the one we rebelled against in 1776.

Now, once again, King George is on the throne, distracting the masses from the true ruin of his rule. Democracy is not to be left to the teeming hordes of American citizens. We are only a bunch of 10-year-olds. Trust the effete bloodline of King George Bush. Democracy is just an obstacle that hinders him from achieving his ultimate goal: the devolution of democracy itself.
