YOU NEED EXPERIENCE FOR THE JOB...

Hello all,

This article has been a long time in coming. But I say you all knew this was coming sooner or later, so I cast the first stone.

Whatever happened to the Aristocracy in the Red vs Blue political blood bath in America these days? We have Tea Parties, Coffee Parties, Christian Militias, even Socialists are back on college campuses. I have only two surprises in all of this: to date there has been no cheap knock off of a "Stamp Act Party 2.0." And disappointingly- nothing to symbolize the political will of the Aristocracy of the United States.

At the risk of making myself a target for political hacks, poli-sci professors, and the polarized, I will make a leap of faith in saying this about American Revolutionary history: it was also a revolution to do away with the feudalistic order of society. It was a revolution to liberate the possibilities of man. An ossified, stratified order of society where kings and aristocracy are the only ones with the opportunities to live life with possibilities is just NOT a society where non-aristocratic individuals have chances to make themselves the way they wish. Either you are born an aristocrat, or you aren't, and if you aren't, it means you get no sort of political privileges at all while a handful of aristocrats get tax breaks, control of government, and utterly no worries about their source of income and substance. But if you AREN'T that- part of the privileged class -well good luck buddy you're on your own.

Napoleon once said: There will always be kings, even if we don't call them that.

So now lets flash forward to the 21st century. Arguably, the United States, born of the first 'modern' political revolution: a revolution to free the possibilities of mankind, not a seizure of power to bottle up possibilities- has clearly lost its way. A digression is needed here: a good doctor listens to his patient. If the patient continually complains of the same malady, such as heart pains or pain in the kidneys, or so on, it might be a sign something is wrong.

Lets be good doctors. What is our patient complaining of today: loss of liberty or fear of loss of liberty, freedom is disappearing or nonexistent. 'You gotta know people to get jobs (whatever happen to simple merit?). Here is my favorite gripe I've heard countlessly: A political clique in Washington utterly disconnected with the sufferings of its own people. More big government spending as the people themselves don't trust government as much as they use to: what a paradox that is! They don't trust government yet the government goes on spending more. Slow and pathetic government response to hurricane Katrina- I believe Karl Rove himself said that this broke the 'bond' between Bush and the People. America is increasingly becoming a two-tiered society of haves or have nots. Either you are part of the politically connected or you aren't. Best of all: continual calls to 'get back to the essence of the Constitution'!

Alright people when are we going to start taking the complaints seriously. Gripes like this are age old. They are the gripes of people living in an aristocratic society. And if you need further proof of this, Frederick von Hayek's book The Road to Serfdom illuminates all. This is bar none one of the best books on what life in an aristocratic way of life is. Because Hayek makes it plain: aristocracy IS socialism. Aristocracy is Socialism for the rich. Get it? Aristocracy = Socialism for the rich. Welfare for the rich. Aristocracy is an order of society where the aristocrats can make the mistakes and not pay for them by equal justice under the law; while you and I, the commoner, pays for it. Hayek's book is not just about soviet socialism, or Nazi socialism, although the book was written during World War 2. The book is about socialism period. And Aristocracy IS socialism.

How did it come to this? How did it come that we fight each other and go nowhere while a narrow class of people still continues to prosper while we don't? Its called Aristocracy.

Aristocracy is at its heart all about perverting Equal Justice under the Law. You can be sure of this: when the laws are enforced by government, and government is co-opted by the Aristocrats, you will NOT get Equal laws under equal justice. You get a perversion of it.

So how does this apply today?

Here's how: millions of people losing their jobs and slipping into destitution, forgotten by the nobles of the land, while the same dolts go on T.V. and tell us how things are good and getting better. The media spinning optimistic tales of economic recovery even as the economy still hangs on a thread. The best yet: more regulation is needed. More watchdogs. I love this argument. So basically put the march of freedom into the hands of a few Wise Men. Men in the SEC that ALWAYS seem to be behind the beat. Come on. Wake up. If government is for the rich and by the rich in the name of Justice for a few and Injustice for the many then you can be sure more watchdogs will just MAKE IT EASIER for same sorts of people to slip by.

Yesterday I had a late night conversation with a recent friend and intellectual, and she was telling me- she being successful in business - that even SHE sees the paradoxes at work: either you are politically connected or you aren't and if you aren't god help you. So I state this for a reason, Aristocracy is not about money. Its not about profits earned fairly in the market. Its about hoodwinking people into serfdom under a delusion all will be well. That economic recoveries are just a few months away! Just keep waiting.

How did it come to this? I will tackle this in my next article in this series.

More big government spending as the people grow more distrustful of government? Accusations of the political clique being cut off from the sufferings of the masses? People not filling out census forms? How much longer does this need to go on before someone just plain says it. Aristocracy. Aristocracy. Aristocracy. Aristocracy. Aristocracy. Aristocracy. Aristocracy. Aristocracy. Aristocracy. Aristocracy.

I have at least broached this subject here. This is me doing my part. I am broaching this subject because I can rest assured the major media outlets won't. So, if you are reading this, talk about it with your friends, with your family, with your neighbors. Its our country too.
