My Political World: History actually repeating itself

I remember being taught back in high school (of course it was also during summer school too which didn't help things), that back during the time of the Roman Senate, that the bribery had gotten so bad, that gold coins were being handed out right out on the senate floor to pass something, and it was being handled like this was nothing new at all. It had gotten that bad back then.

Right now with our Congressional House Republicans, it's actually getting nearly that bad right now, only thing is, it's not gold coins any more, it's either stocks or money towards campaign funds to make sure that the person is reelected. So the majority of the money that is coming from these Super PAC's are coming from the top 1-2% out there, and that's actually hurting us very much right now. After all with what they're doing, unless the high court decides to change things, its all considered very legal, and that's where things are falling apart right now.

Right now the power that the people are supposed to have when it comes to letting congress know what in the world needs to be changed, it's all falling on deaf ears when it comes to those in the house. Now yes they're supposed to be working for us, however since we don't have the money like the rich do, we're getting screwed over here left and right, and that's one of the reasons calling them isn't doing anything, and why I stopped calling in the first place.

There will be no chance at all in the world to stop what's going on, considering that we the people don't have the money to change their minds at all. However since the Republicans seriously don't care about us, then it's time to change that tune. Now for some of the states in this country the voting is coming up this year, yet for the rest of the country the voting will be next year. It's time to send them a message, that anyone not working for the American people will be fired, however if you are working for the American people then guess what you get to keep your job.

However working for the American people doesn't mean that you work for the rich that happen to live here, nope if they pay taxes (fully), don't hide their cash in off shore accounts and actually think of someone else other than themselves and yet call themselves Christians and don't try to shove the Bible into EVERYONE they meet or know for a fact that this country wasn't founded as a Christian nation, then guess what you not only know the full truth you in fact happen to be a correct United States citizen (after all American (which just about ALL the Republicans are saying) is covering both North and South America). That and you know how this country correctly works, to think other wise is actually believe all of the lies that's you're getting told in the first place, and that's the last thing that this country needs, after all what's the one thing that the Republicans actually want in this country, something that they've been dying to get for years, and that's mindless sheep that will say yes to just about EVERYTHING that the pop out of their mouths. That is something that has been wrong for years and actually needs to be changed.

There's another point in history that I know others would love to have changed, but that's not how this country was founded in the first place, and that is to make this country an entirely Christian nation. I'm sorry to say, but not only is the Pope not going to be saying anything about who gets to rule our country in the first place, but he also CANNOT dispose the President who happens to be elected by the American people. After all, in history the only ones that the Pope has ever been able to take down (at least till they got fed up with it and told to go screw themselves in the first place) were monarchies and that's it. Yes the Presidents do go to visit the Pope, but the Pope has ZERO power over the President of the United States, none at all.

Now altogether, and this includes the church mentioned above too, the one thing that all of these happen to have in common, besides money (doesn't matter what form that takes, gold coins, cash, stocks, etc.), power (and anything else that I might not think of now but later), is the corruption that has run rampant through out all of politics both back then and now, and it's the one thing that needs to be stopped before it's too late. After all, Rome had corruption that became so bad, that it ended up becoming not only a visible thing in the senate, it became known as a so what deal it's how things are done. Yeah well look how that went for them.

We are not them, we are a country that was founded on principles that are currently getting tossed out the door for the almighty dollar and it's hurting us more than we want to actually let on right now. We as the people of this great country need to stop this, before it becomes too late and becomes common place.
