Modern Democratic-Republicans?

The Peace Dollar - A Two Headed Silver Coin....

Undoubtedly, at one time or another, you have heard some of your fellow American citizens refer to the Modern Democrats and their Modern Republican brothers as: "A Two Headed Dollar," "Opposite Sides Of The Very Same Coin," "The Two Faces Of One Political Party,"or [even] "The Lesser Of Two Equivalent Evils." You might not exactly understand to what particular aspects of these parties they actually refer, but - at the same time - you probably notice that something is definitely wrong. Often, in politics, a knowledge of history is the KEY to unlocking much greater political understanding... and this is [precisely] one of those times.

Thanks to our ongoing societal failure to more properly educate our children into American History, the average modern day citizen doesn't even realize that The Democrats and Republicans were once merely the two extremist ends of the same political party. The Democratic-Republicans were once a: richly historic, reasonably well balanced, and culturally vibrant political party - whose predominantly "middle of the road" membership valued both Individual Liberties and the Principles Of Conservatism which largely protected them. In those days, to be both: Liberal and Conservative wasn't considered in the least bit strange, or odd.

Extended Unemployment Benefits Won't Pass In Senate

Extended Unemployment Benefits have continually failed to pass muster in the Senate, for the stated reason of unnecessarily increasing our growing national indebtedness unwisely. Ironically, however, these very same extended unemployment benefits are the: fastest, cheapest, most efficient, and even highly beneficial wealth transfers within our alarmingly complex "Social-Fascist System." More importantly, it provides a minimalist safety net and some form of hope for millions of now financially destitute Americans.

In a nation that can hand out: Trillions for The Banks, Hundreds Of Billions for Industry, and Tens Of Billions to Europe - Extended Unemployment Benefits represent only a few very small drops in the fiscal bucket. Nor, has our government stopped handing out, what is essentially, our own money! They are merely refusing to share, any of it, with us the taxpayers. The entire concept of this rapidly growing pattern is largely ridiculous. Let's consider all of the facts....

Modern Republicans And Why I'm Not One

G.O.P. Party Symbol.

Modern Republicans claim to be the living embodiment of "Traditional American Conservatism" - but, are they really? Can a political party that would:  knowingly ignore, intentionally violate, and willingly suspend The United States Constitution [honestly] stake such a remarkable claim? I think, not! 

Traditional American Conservatism held that nothing was of higher importance, principal, or value than The Constitution. Our enlightened ancestors rightly understood that: "A Nation Of Freemen must have protection from the powers of all intrusive government and the individuals who would utilize it for their own personal benefit and interests!" Meanwhile, The Constitution was provided - by our founding fathers - to serve that very necessary service and all important societal function. It was a proscription against the continual usurpation and dangerous hegemony of an ever-expanding government.
