Per LiveLeak, the following 5-Minute Speech that Got Judge Napolitano Fired from Fox News is one that should not only be forwarded and shared with every single man, woman and child in this country, but taught and expounded upon in every social studies, civics and government class from first grade through college.
It does not get any clearer and to the point then this. Here's the full transcript link
[Andrew Paolo Napolitano (June 6, 1950)] Source: LYBIO.net
What if Democrats and Republicans were two wings of the same bird of prey?
What if elections were actually useful tools of social control? What if they just provided the populace with meaningless participation in a process that validates an establishment that never meaningfully changes? What if that establishment doesn’t want and doesn’t have the consent of the governed? What if the two-party system were actually a mechanism used to limit so-called public opinion? What if there were more than two sides to every issue, but the two parties wanted to box you in to a corner, one of their corners?
What if there’s no such thing as public opinion, because every thinking person has opinions that are uniquely his own?
What if public opinion were just a manufactured narrative that makes it easier to convince people that if their views are different, there’s something wrong with that – or something wrong with them?
What if the whole purpose of the Democratic and Republican parties was not to expand voters’ choices, but to limit them?
What if the widely perceived differences between the two parties were just an illusion?
What if the heart of government policy remains the same, no matter who’s in the White House?
What if the heart of government policy remains the same, no matter what the people want?
What if those vaunted differences between Democrat and Republican were actually just minor disagreements?
What if both parties just want power and are willing to have young people fight meaningless wars to enhance that power?
What if both parties continue to fight the war on drugs just to give bureaucrats and cops bigger budgets and more jobs?
What if government policies didn’t change when government’s leaders did?
What if no matter who won an election, government stayed the same?
What if government were really a revolving door of political hacks, bent on exploiting the people while they’re in charge?
What if both parties supported welfare, war, debt, bailouts and big government?
What if the rhetoric that the candidates displayed on the campaign trail was dumped after electoral victory?
What if the biggest difference between most candidates was not substance but style? What if those stylistic differences were packaged as substantive ones to reinforce the illusion of a difference between Democrats and Republicans?
What if a government that manipulated us could be fired? What if a government that lacked the true and knowing consent of the governed could be dismissed? What if it were possible to have a real game-changer?
What if this equally applies to most countries of the world today whose 'democratic' governments with their 'Ruling' & 'Opposition' parties, were two wings of the same bird of prey?
What if we could make elections matter again? What if we could do something about this?
