Interesting, And Humorous, Political Quotes - Still Relevant Today

Who's To Blame? HIM, Of Course....

Although many of these quotations were either: penned, or spoken long ago, it is amazing how relevant that they continually remain today... at least, to those who don't understand the True Value [or, Authoritative Power] of History. Even though the individual human players will continue to change over time, their Normative and Inherently Human Characteristics do not... nor, do their: Personal Agendas, Political Tactics, or Situational Failings. People are inherently drawn toward that, which is their greatest [and potentially destructive] human weakness: Alcoholics to Alcohol, Junkies to Drugs, Gamblers to Casinos, Sex Addicts to Prostitutes, Robbers to Banks... and Politicians to: Money, Notoriety, and Raw Political Power.   

Since the "Universal Laws Of Cause And Effect" remain constant and never change over time, truly insightful statements are timeless and of considerable value - irrespective of any other contributing environmental factors. Of such caliber, are the following Political Statements:

Politics Is The Art Of Social Compromise

The "power of a cartoon" is an honestly truthful answer.

There are many definitions for the term "Politics." However, very few of these textbook definitions are truly succinct, concise, and clearly explanative of this frequently utilized social term.


For Instance:

• Wikipedia says: "Politics is a process by which groups of people make collective decisions. The term is generally applied to behavior within civil governments, but politics has been observed in other group interactions, including corporate, academic, and religious institutions. It consists of social relations involving authority or power and refers to the regulation of a political unit, and to the methods and tactics used to formulate and apply policy."
• FreeDictionary.com says: "Politics is the art [or science] of government or governing, especially the governing of a political entity, such as a nation, and the administration and control of its internal and external affairs."
• Knowledgerush.com says: "Politics is the study and conduct of decision-making power (who's got it, and who hasn't) at the inter-social and societal levels."

  
Politics is, "The art of social compromise - within a much larger society - of opposite and competing factions." Contrary to all of those previous definitions, Politics has absolutely nothing to do with government specifically; or even directly! Politics is a [mere] fact of innate human life - which occurs everywhere two, or more, individual humans are gathered together. It occurs within America's: churches, businesses, civic organizations, schools, and even public playgrounds. Everywhere some sort of social compromise is [honestly] required, politics is an absolute societal necessity!

The True Dangers Of American Bureaucracy

The Bureaucratic System is patently un-American.

Although many Americans have grown increasingly frustrated with our American Bureaucratic System over the last couple of decades, most are simply resigned to the fact that this is merely the cost of existing in a modern and democratic society. But, is it? Is "Bureaucracy" a functionally necessary part of the modern democratic process? And if so, what real function does it honestly and truthfully serve? More importantly, is it even a constitutionally recognized form of governmental authority and power? Let's explore these questions and more... while turning our attention to, "The True Dangers Of Our American Bureaucracy."

The purpose of Bureaucracy is to create a top down pyramidal structure - wherein orders may given to those beneath - in which all commands may be issued upon a need to know basis and each succeeding level downward may be compartmentalized with respect to the amount [or level] of knowledge being given. To put it simply:

Bureaucracy Is "The Methodology Of Secret Societies"

For Instance:

• The Executive at the top wants a Nuclear Weapon to be built to destroy another country.
• The DOD is told to build one - for unstated reasons of executive necessity.
• One Contractor is ordered to build a rocket motor Propulsion system - for whatever potential payload.
• Another Contractor is ordered to build a guidance system for a missile - of some unknown type.
• Yet another Contractor is told to build a nuclear device of a set size and megaton payload.
• Meanwhile, thousands of scattered employees build individual components - for dozens of unnamed and unexplained devices - as ignorantly uninformed participants.

The Real American Is Now Moving Up To Videos

"The Real American"

For those of you, who have been following The Real American's internet presence over the last 8 months, you have probably noted that my: organizational skills, writing style, and online capabilities have been largely and rapidly improving. Let's face it, folks, my blogs have improved considerably, my postings are becoming more functionally informational, and I am finally beginning to get noticed online! And either it's a complete and total fluke, or my overall ranking in the search engines has [even] begun to increase substantially, as well. We are now on the very first page, for a number of search-able terms, and in the very first position for some.

As one, of over 30 million Unemployed Americans, I started out with nothing but a computer and a dream - to largely assist my fellow hurting Americans. That vision was to provide an open and unrestricted outlet for The Truth, as our ancestors understood it to be and as many of us continue to understand it. Whether it is "Politically Correct," or not, is entirely irrelevant - while honestly considering our current dilemma! Of course, The Truth has seldom [if ever] been politically correct in any nation and particularly in ours....

• If Equality Under The Law is politically incorrect, then so be it. It is still "The Law" - even when we continually fail to acknowledge it!
• If Our Freedom Of Speech is now being viewed as "Domestic Terrorism" - by those at the top - then they better start reading those documents that they've sworn to willingly uphold and protect!
• And if Our Newspapers and Media Outlets are refusing to do their own assigned jobs, then others will inevitably step up and do it for them. Freedom Of The Press doesn't belong to our corporate conglomerates alone.

The Two Party System Is A Practical Reality

Career Politicians learn the rules fast, or go bust

Contrary to what we so often hear, there is no officially sanctioned "Two Party System" in the United States of America. Nor, has there ever been one as such. What there really is, is a political reality. In every properly functioning democracy there are always numerous voices seeking to be heard... and so it is in ours. Throughout our illustrious history, we have had no fewer than five political parties at any given time. And at other times, we have had even more than that! So why do we always hear about the so-called Two Party System... and to [honestly] what does it refer?

Our nation, unlike many other political democracies, was not designed for rule by a coalition or even parliamentarian government. The Electoral System - which was set into place at the time of our founding - requires our executive leadership to have more than fifty percent of our votes, to govern at the time of election. In fact, our use of electors - rather than Total Popular Votes - was primarily to assure this singular outcome. Otherwise, multiple candidates would lead to a potential "Total Deadlock" - under just such a political system. It is important to note, that Electors do not ever have to vote the same as their home State constituencies.
