Where Are All Of The Statesmen

• Quote: "A Constitutional Statesman is in general a man of common opinions and uncommon abilities." - Walter Bagehot.

There are many words in the English language that are often incorrectly and interchangeably used by: propagandists, journalists, and historians alike. The two most most tragic of these ongoing contextual misrepresentations are that of "Politician" and "Statesman." Although it may sound like splitting hairs, one might as well equate: "the meaning of politics," with "the politics of meaning..." for you would be, in both cases, equally as accurate!

Although it is true, that both of these creatures share numerous traits of common similarity, they are factually very different animals altogether! Both are elected by the consent and/or will of the governed... both hold political position and/or sway as duly elected representatives of The People... yet, that is where all similarities end. However, the differences between these two, are far more significant - than any apparent common referential overlap!

What Precisely Is Social-Fascism:

If Fascism is a product of The Right [as claimed by Premier Lenin, Commissar Stalin, and Chairman Mao] and Socialism is a product of The Left [as claimed by virtually everyone else], then what exactly is Social-Fascism… and how, in fact, does it exist? These are two very good questions, for “Real Americans,” to be [openly] asking!

First, let’s acquaint ourselves with the only three [and decidedly] primary economic systems in real world application or existence. These are: Capitalism, Fascism, and Socialism! Although, Communism could have been a fourth, it has never been [nor could ever be] applied, as an overall societal structure.

Are Our Businesses Really "Too Big To Fail"

Recently, we have witnessed a first in our two hundred year American History… Our Republican and Democratic leadership has expended considerable sums of our own money [either borrowed, taxed, or soon to be hyper-inflated], to bail out our U. S. Industry and/or Financial Investment Institutions from almost certain economic collapse. Nor, should such Politico-Economic Solutions come as a historical shock or ideological surprise, since we are living under a modern Centralized Bureaucratic and Social-Fascist State system… since, Fascism is firmly entrenched in our land [with no longer, any protesting questions]; both politically dominant parties fully embrace it; and its staggering centralized bureaucracies are highly dependent on the finite revenues being thusly generated!

The question was not whether these businesses were actually “Too Big To Fail,” but rather precisely how they got that way in a nation built on the proper foundations of law. Have our politicians been “in bed with big business?” All Fascists are…. Have they thoroughly ignored “the laws of our land?” They have ignored The Sherman Anti-Trust Act, most definitely… and a whole lot of others, as well! But, it goes far beyond that, my fellow citizens….

What Is American Fascism

Is America a “Fascist” nation? This question [today] is on many Americans minds…. While some believe it is… many more, believe it isn’t… and still others think the whole idea is patently preposterous. Everyone knows that America is a “Capitalist Nation.” It is founded on “Political,” “Economic,” and “Societal” Freedoms… our very patriotic, and reasonably more nationalistic leadership, would never allow this to happen – on their political watch… and it has been guarded so and protected so, by one of the finest military-industrial complexes on Earth!

No matter - what we may think of The Republicans [personally] about their political alignments with “Big Business,” or The Democrats [specifically] regarding their “Socially Progressive” or “Socially Empowering” political agenda – neither of them, would allow Fascism to gain a political beachhead in “Our Freedom Loving Nation.” Nor, would our modern American population ever politically allow it to happen. We are far too patriotic, politically hardworking, and observant to the relevant political issues – for any such thing to occur!

Popular Democracy A Vehicle For Tyranny

One reader of yesterday’s editorials, brought up a very important issue, of which our more enlightened ancestors were fully aware, and our own more modern generation doesn’t seem to grasp. The concept of “Tyranny” – as literally defined, philosophically alluded to, or even spiritually grasped – has absolutely nothing to do with the physical number, or percentile quantity, of the participants to such unethical, immoral, illegal, anti-social, and politically dis-enfranchising behaviors! While a “Dictator,” “Despot,” or “King,” may only be one individual; it requires a numerous number of [objectively] other Tyrants in order to achieve and [extensively] maintain his undeserved political power.

As our ancestors were so oft to say, “Birds of a feather, oft stay together” and nowhere is this saying more true than while living under a Tyranny…. Could Hitler, Lenin, or Mao have accomplished their tasks without the readily apparent aid of millions, throughout their own nations? Could Franco, Mussolini, or Peron have maintained their political hegemonies without a large percentage of their own populations walking behind them? Of course, not! Just as criminals will [often] team up in order to accomplish their objectives [even though they, may, personally hate one another]… Despotisms require Tyrants to combine their forces for [their-own] mutually beneficial purposes!

The Lesser Of Two Evils

Framing an argument, as "The Lesser Of Two Evils" is the greatest trick, which has ever been perpetrated upon mankind! Its highly valued rhetorical construction should be held in equal esteem with the invention of the two-headed coin, as an objective means of settling disputes among friends. While it offers the appearance of an unbiased choice [on the part of all active participants] it offers no relevant choices at all… since the direction is already largely predetermined and the only relevant point of contention is the relative pace of its eventual adoption as the de facto societal structure.

In the case of choosing amongst [Social-Fascist] Democrats and [Fascist] Republicans, we may effectively choose between a Social-Fascist State with the attachment of further Progressive-Socialism, or without it... but, in either case, neither: the current level of American Fascism, nor the debilitating and progressively socialistic bureaucracy already established are called into serious question. That is because the two major political parties are both Fascist [or Leftist] constructions. This brings us back to that proverbial two-headed coin....
