Public Opinion vs. Federal Government – A Dissertation for the politically challenged

IF THEY SAY ITS PUBLIC OPINION, BEWARE.  PUBLIC OPINION IS SIMPLY WHAT EVERYBODY THINKS EVERYBODY ELSE THINKS. 

To say that public opinion and the federal government are enemies is absurd, but to say that they are bedfellows is equally absurd.  So where do they stand?  Our U S Constitution was devised precisely to stand against and frustrate the efforts of those that would have an ambition to rise up a factious regime and poison the mix of our government either by using public opinion as a tool for propaganda, or by cogency. 

Individual states are responsible for matters and concerns to its individual citizens.  In theory, States (the public) are central governments for their boundaries that include counties and cities.  Citizens of states inside the United States of America are free to move to whichever or whatever state is in their best interest.  This is why many companies and persons choose to move to another state that may have more favorable laws for their way of life.

Separation of powers is one of the quintessential and Christian influenced principles of the United States Federal form of government is generally accredited to Baron de Montesquieu, whose “The Spirit of the Laws” (1748) was highly regarded by the writers and framers of the U S Constitution, basically Montesquieu contended like () that absolute power corrupts absolutely and that those entrusted with power tend to abuse it, thus the concept of “checks and balances” was first conceived.

From Essay 9 Hamilton wrote:

“The utility of a Confederacy, as well to suppress faction and to guard the internal tranquillity of States, as to increase their external force and security, is in reality not a new idea.  It has been practiced upon in different countries and ages, and has received the sanction of the most approved writers on the subject of politics.  The opponents of the plan proposed have, with great assiduity, cited and circulated the observations of Montesquieu on the necessity of a contracted territory for a republican government.  But they seem not to have been apprised of the sentiments of that great man expressed in another part of his work, nor to have adverted to the consequences of the principle to which they subscribe with such ready acquiescence.

Why our Country is what it is.......

Federalism vs. Democracy

The United States of America is different and separate from any nation on the face of the Earth; no matter who we have as our leader as President the rules have been predestine by our US Constitution.  Power has been given to our central government to ensure that the individual states are protected in foreign matters, such as, treaties and Declarations of Wars, also the Defense of all states through military or Economic issues, and the distribution of Cash.

The Constitution is the law that has enabled the United States of America to avoid many catastrophes.

The origins of Democracy

Democracy is a form of government that translates literally from the Greek words demos (“the People”) and Kratia (“rule”), thus democracy means “People Rule”.

The Greeks first developed democracies in the 6^th century.  In 600 B.C., almost 2500 years ago Greek leadership arrived at a political philosophy that would allow all citizens the right on a political view to be heard.  In Greece all citizens could vote – this is great “you think?”  Here is the “But”, citizens did not include, I repeat, did not include minors (those under the age of consent), women (all women), and Slaves; any color or gender and in those days, if you owed anybody anything you were a slave, as to be “in Debt” meant to give up your citizenship.  So, all of you with credit cards, or car loans, and mortgages are slaves under the Greek system of Democracy, and, as such would not be able to be heard politically.  For the most part these non-citizens made up ninety percent (90%) of the population, which meant that Greece was ruled by only ten percent (10%) of the population.  By percentage for the most part the same still holds today in many countries that are democratic by nature in the world.

Initial Post and Reason

Today we have seen an influx of misinformation and idiocy that has led millions astray.  This misinformation is not only creating mindnumb people, but advancing the notion that it is OK to think what you want and say what you want.
Take twitter for instance.  This is the most stupid waste of time and yet people follow the every thought of an individual, whether they are reputable or not.  Remember the Henny Penny story?  "The sky is falling...."
In the next, as long as it takes, I will post general information stories and create a library of most notable problems that face America.  These posts will range from anything to anything and boggle the mind of those that think they know and enlighten those that don't care to know.  Anything is and can be the topic of the day and will strike at the heart of what is really under the surface; imagine the duck and its churning feet, yet they look so calm above.


Thought provoking and educational, I will go through the story and review the connection to what it has to do with your life and the probability of the implications (repercussions) that it will have on your life.


Sometimes it may seem mundane, but will always be provocative.


I will tackle the illustrious in media and politics, like, Rush Limbaugh, Glen Beck, Nancy Pelosi, Barry (POTUS) Obama, George Soros, Michael Savage, All Coaches in Sports (Saban, Carroll, The Kelly's, and all conferences and divisions), and all entertainers, athletes, and film stars.  I will bring the answers to your questions of why and what it has to do with it all.
I will especially deal with the media and its under-reporting, or should I say, non-reporting of valuable stories that should be national, but get shoved to the side, most demonstrative is the GREAT stories that are set aside for trivial and meaningless ones to paint a picture the way that the media wants to.


Should we be treated the way that we are and put up with what we have been?  I say NO, emphatically NO, NO, NO!!!
My next post will be about our Government and how it is.


Thank Me:)
