Remaking America by George Shollenberger, Idea XXV (Many Democrats and Republicans lack knowledge of a self-government)

Today, I read in the newspaper that a handful of republican governors is turning against the economic stimulus signed into law by President Obama. These governors are from Texas, Mississippi, Louisiana, Alaska, and South Carolina. This thinking is opposed to a self-government. But President Obama’s economic stimulus is developing a self-government.

After listening the words of republicans against Obama, it is clear that republican can destroy our self-government. First, one must recognize our Union and its highest parts, which are self-government and ‘the people.’ Both the Democrats and Republicans don’t realize that free enterprises and free traders cannot guide the development a Union. They don’t seem to know that all States are only territories and thus have no rights. Only humans have rights that can be shared with a self-government. They don’t seem to know that a self-government must secure ‘the people’ in all rightful ways because ‘the people’ gave some rights to the national government. They must always be forming a more perfect Union according to the Constitution, but never seem to care about that law. They don’t seem to know that evolutionary theory is false and that this falsity must be removed from our high schools? Republicans seem to think that building another Hooverville will solve today’s depression.

Today, most republicans want to limit our national government in general and limit the functions of a self-government. These limitations were clear in the messages of John McCain and Sarah Palin prior to the presidential voting. These limitations tell me that the republicans do not know that our national government is the first modern self-government, after such a government was sought by Jews, Athenians, and Alexander the Great.

Unfortunately, Democrats and Republicans believe that a free market economy can build our nation alone. However, this economy is currently distributing the nation’s wealth unusually. Today, only 10% of the U.S. households own two–thirds of our nation’s wealth whereas 90% of the U.S. households hold only one-third. This unusual distribution began to develop only after Abe Lincoln was assassinated. I conclude that a free nation cannot be built alone with a free market economy.

Since I do not believe that a free market economy can build our nation alone, I voted for President Obama. I conclude that he will build a self-government that can build our nation as well as a free market. Fortunately, the Democrats seem to want to learn about a self-government from President Obama. But Republicans do not seem to be interested in a self-government and the founding documents.
