The cure for the evils of democracy is more democracy!
H. L. Mencken, Notes on Democracy, 1926
The primary season is now upon an already suffering electorate. The Madison Conservative must again stride atop our soapbox to remind America they are being made fools. The cowardly Democratic, Republican, and any other political party continue their assault upon the United States Constitution.
Consider their ongoing blatant lies.
The popular belief is that we are ‘a two-party government’. Nothing could be further from the truth. The Constitution has no provision for political parties. It sets forth Election Day, but that is where it ends.
Inept politicians have successfully put in place mechanisms to present the illusion that primaries are a part of the American electoral system.
That is a total fraud. A primary is nothing more than a PRIVATE ORGANIZATION deciding what name will appear on the Election Day ballot. All the more galling is the American taxpayer is given the bill for their farcical indulgences. We are not saying a political party should not have a primary, but if they so feel the need, to do it on their own nickel. They are NOT government, despite decades of propaganda trying to have citizens believe otherwise. The stenographic, sycophantic media are willing accomplices. They cover the results as if they had any significance. They don’t. All that happens is that America is fed a slew of lies by an unqualified idiot.
We believe passionately in the American franchise of voting. We would ask you to consider opting out of a parody and vote in the local school board election. It will have greater impact than helping liars to continue their assault on American democracy.
At least that’s our vote.
