Remember how “states rights” was code words for racism? Here are some code words from the present.
What’s the code word for the left? Control.
Control of wages and prices in the economy.
Control of your thermostat in your home.
Control of which light bulbs you buy.
Control of which car you buy.
Control of how much energy you use.
Control of which food you eat.
How to implement all this? More centralized control from Washington.
What’s the code word from the right? Safety.
Safety from terrorists.
Safety from criminals.
Safety from job outsourcing.
Safety for your retirement.
How do they make you safe from everything? More centralized control from Washington.
What’s the code word for the media? Fear.
Fear of child molesters.
Fear of religion.
Fear of the weather.
Fear of war.
Fear of economic meltdowns.
Fear of someone else getting ahead of you in the rat race.
How do they calm everyone’s fears? More centralized control from Washington.
Laying out things in this manner shows how the average citizen is being bombarded from three directions – the left, the right, and the media – pressured to allow more centralized state control. They are not the enemies that they appear to be, because they are working in concert. They take turns eroding your freedoms away, piece by piece. How many people do you talk to in daily life, who say that the government is not responsive to their needs, but acting on its own agenda, regardless of how they voted?
What’s the solution? Elect local representatives that are not beholden to either major party or to the media conglomerates. That way, they will represent your interests rather than their own national or international agendas. The other thing is, ally with people who have similar values. If you are a minority in one area, move to where you can be part of the majority.
