Occupy Wall Street, Occupy the Fed, Sarah Palin and why the USA is a dying country. October 7, 2011 mary lifton I have been trying my best to pay attention to everything happening in the United States and as a political science major one would assume that I would have a great grasp the ebb and flow of the current American Climate. My honest answer when asked has been a resounding- it's confusing. There is something bigger stirring the pot and many people are conflicted. There are people that are so far Right politically that they are almost left and some people that are so far Left that they should just handcuff their own arms-these people are begging for imprisonment. The power holders in my opinion are loving the confusion. They are flooding people with so much information purposefully to confuse the uneducated and in turn you see people wandering protest rallies really unsure of the what they are protesting against. It has become surreal. I have spent a few days working on some video editing and I was watching various clips from protestors from various different movements. These video clips included videos from the Tea Party, The Occupy Wall Street crowd, The Occupy The Fed crowd, and a small get together of the leftist Coffee Party. I am not making fun of the Coffee Party but I honestly do not understand their goals; they seem intent on changing the foundation of this country. The constitution means nothing to most of them. I understand many of their frustrations but not their solutions. They seem to gain quite a bit of publicity but their demonstrations never seem to materialize past a few dozen lost souls. I am a member locally of the Young Republicans of Iowa. I believe in the America that our founders created for us. I believe in the Constitution. I am patriotic for the country but not for the government. I support the troops but I do not support those in the military who are mercenaries. I am a Conservative and a Tea Party activist. The only viable candidate for the office of the Presidency is Michele Bachmann. I must say I really like her but I don't love her. She is not perfect but she is the closest I think we will see. I believe that Michele Bachmann is the female Ron Paul but with a robust foreign policy. I do not like her positions on the IRS and frankly I don't think I trust her knowing that she was a former auditor. That said she is the best we have. I support her and I have admiration for her. I did not like Sarah Palin. I feel as though Sarah Palin is more or less a Paid character. I don't believe she is authentic. I understand the media unfairly tried to destroy her and in return she is cashing in. I totally accept that. However I do not accept the cat and mouse game that she plays that also affects average citizens. I appreciate her using the media as a weapon on itself, but in the process she really screwed up this entire run into the primaries. There were many voters my age and older who would not support a candidate, who would not donate time or money to a candidate because they were pinning their hopes on Sarah Palin. To me this is an unfair situation that affected every candidate. The only people that could withstand that kind of game are the ones that had money, big money like a Romney or Perry. I don't 100% support Herman Cain but I am ecstatic that he found away to gin up the momentum without the big money. He did have a lot help with Rick Perry imploding. The Problems that Americans face are simple. America has been overrun with corporate influence and interference. There has been a major consolidation of power over the last 100 years. The middle class has been shrinking and it is not slowing. We have created a dependent society-who also I might add are now being blamed for being dependent. I believe in Capitalism. America is no longer a Capitalist country. We have a system that is based on corporate welfare, fascism, and crony capitalism. We have roughly 50 families who own everything and game the system. Our country was founded on the idea that any one man or woman can have unlimited abilities for success. This is no longer true. The laws, restrictions, regulations, and monopolies are so overwhelmingly obese that rarely a soul can slip by. I believe that every week, month, year the belt tightens and gets us one step closer to complete destruction of the American dream. Harry Reid will then blame it on Republicans rinse/repeat. I may be a Republican but I refuse to support or stand behind Republicans who engage in this kind of tyrannical control. I still think it is not too late to wind back the clocks. We can regain the country and the principals that we love but we must not keep voting for insiders to step into roles of power. We must support candidates that are outside the mainstream who are not influenced or bound by favors. Barack Obama gave Americans hope and he told us he would change what many of us feel is wrong. Many are ignorant to the realities but still feel the struggle. Most average citizens understand there may be problems but they can not articulate the cause or solutions. This is dangerous, this is why you have people at rallies begging for communism. The people become the tools of those with the loudest voice-the media. The media twists, distorts, and redefines the realities on the ground. The rallies begin to swell and in time the whole meaning behind the movement becomes distorted. I was 19 in 2008 and I went against the majority of my friends and I voted straight Republican. I believe in the principals of the Republican party even when the elected Republicans do not. I want preservation of our once free and prosperous society. Our leaders have failed us but we still have some hope and the Republican party is the only vehicle left that can choose a path of Liberty. The reason why the Tea Party is so valuable is because it is the only reactionary force that will hold the Republicans accountable. If you lose the Tea Party, you lose the country. bio I go to University of Iowa. I live and breath anything Hawkeye. I play lacrosse. I am a young republican and I support Michele Bachmann for President. Share | (8) Comments
