Having said all that, there is a door open - actually a small crack - to "start with ourselves" with the grassroots effort to call for a Constitutional Convention which as of January 2016 needed only 7 more states to convene. I have no faith in that ever happening and if it did, the liberals with their ability to form a rock solid, loud, and immovable force will prevail in their usual manner.
I’ve voted with the GOP in every local and national election since I was first eligible in the 1968 presidential election. The most noteworthy characteristic of Republican Party is that there are a number of divergent factions that are acknowledged and respected in the conservative landscape. It can also be a detriment as proven by the conflicts and the voting record on controversial legislative issues by the GOPers since taking the majority in both chambers. Garnering "one voice" for the Republican Party is akin to herding cats. The opposition has learned how to herd cats superbly as all of them speak with the same monotone talking points right down to the period, comma, and question mark. While Republicans compromise within their own ranks as well as with the opposition, Democrats never heard of the word. While Republicans (for the most part) respect opinions/ideas of others, Democrats come out of the womb declaring never to show any respect for a Republican and always declaring them guilty of being a white supremacist, a misogynist and a racist; and they are willing to shout their declarations from the roof tops. Lastly, while both sides never answer a question directly, always rephrasing the question to suite their individual needs, the Democrats use this tactic splendidly to get the last word in on a subject – the words everyone remembers. Overall, for most voters the Democrat Party appears to be more polished and organized which gets the immediate and positive attention of voters, while Republicans are always on the defensive and must “climb up a steep hill” to get the attention of voters.
People like us do not need to be convinced to “start with ourselves”. We already have the self-respect to be willing to respect others which leads to compromise and consensus. “Ourselves” as well Republican officials must become more dogged in our approach instead of letting the opposition always name the playing field and the rules of engagement. The opposition sees no need to respect others and their version of “start with ourselves” is the selfish “get what we can for ourselves” mentality.
In summary, it’s unfortunate that the good old days when politicians forgot partisanship and amiably reached across the aisle as a patriot to find the middle ground – on both sides - will never return. That's because the current brand of political leadership doesn’t have the necessary courage it takes to set aside self-interests interests for national concerns and needs. An argument can be made that a cure for that appears to be term limits, but pigs will fly before that ever passes into law.

I wrote the first version in 1992; 'Party Politics - The fix is in'
Both parties have caused a lot of suffering by ignoring and circumventing the Constitution. They have turned our Republic into a scamming Democracy.
(written in 1992; GHW Bush was running again against Bill Clinton. The 2012 and 2015 updates are in brackets) ()
Party politics: “The Fix” was always in:
The majority of Americans are disgusted with our government “representatives”, and what is happening in America. The frustration had been spreading, but this time, Americans did not fall for “The Fix”. It should have been obvious that something had to change; but what? To solve any problem, “the root cause” must be discovered, understood, exposed, and eliminated.
In the realm of politics; exposing “the root cause” of America’s decline on any significant scale, has been unattainable. Almost all major media is directed and controlled by “the root cause” which sets “The Fix”.
Decade after decade, and election after election; too many voters have fallen for “The Fix”. They either didn’t vote out of disgust; or they voted for “the lesser of two evils”. This syndrome has put America where it is today, and evil continues to prosper. Give thought to “The Fix”. The Democratic Party promotes a variety of liberals/socialists, (“progressives”), and the Republican Party promotes a variety of “Conservatives” (old line conservatives, and covert global socialists/NeoCONS; The Bushes and their “New World Order” are two examples). Under both parties, our Constitutional Republic (not democracy), has been decimated. The Constitution and the principles that made our country the most prosperous, and the envy of the world, has been replaced with a semi-covert agenda for global socialism. Few Americans understand the purpose of the globalist agenda; but most politicians believe in it, or have sold out to it. That is why their oaths to uphold and defend the Constitution have been meaningless to most of them.
“The Root Cause” of our country’s decline; is the privately owned Federal Reserve System (banks), and their control of our money and economy. The perpetrators are the Internationalist Banking Cabal, whose policy it is, to create a global socialist “New World Order”.
With their vast wealth, media control (ownership), control of (“public”) education, and control of the party apparatus; they have been able to ensure that both parties nominated candidates that would carry out their agenda. With this control, the people fell for “The Fix”; out of disgust they either didn’t vote, or they felt compelled to vote for “the lesser of two evils”, – banker backed “A” or “B”. all other parties were ignored.
The voters are told, “no one else can win”, (“don’t Waste your vote); now the scam was to convince the voters “who is the most electable against Obama”. It had to be someone that the ‘Powers That Be’ knew they could control, to ensure that their agenda was carried out. That agenda is a One World totalitarian socialist dictatorship, administered by their front men. I will as concisely as possible back this statement up with their own writings, and try to stir the readers to give this letter thought and thus, renounce the NWO agenda.
*******Both parties executive cabinets (national security advisors) are filled with members of “the Council on Foreign Relations” (CFR) and “the Trilateral Commission” (TC)). John D. Rockefeller formed the (CFR) in early 1920’s, and David Rockefeller formed the TC in 1973. David Rockefeller’s chief foreign policy advisor, Zbigniew Brzezinski, put the organization together for his boss. Jimmy Carter was made a TC founding member. After Carter was elected president, he filled his cabinet with CFR/TC members, with Zbigniew Brzezinski as his chief foreign policy “advisor”. Reagan’s cabinet began with fewer (CFR) members, but many non (CFR) members were drummed out of office. (with the help of the liberal MSM). When Reagan finished office, most were again CFR/TC members. Bush senior is a Trilateralist and 9 of 11 of his national security council are (CFR) members. Bill Clinton is a CFR/TC member, and attended the Bilderberg meeting last year. P. Volker, A. Greenspan, H. Kissinger, Robert Strange McNamara are but a few of the high officials that belong to the CFR, TC, and the Bilderberg Group.
To show where these people and organizations are coming from I quote: TC report #23, 1982 – “… actions at the multinational level will be needed if the process of international relocation of industries is to be accelerated in an organized fashion …” (a policy to deindustrialize America) Now; please really reflect on what has happened under both parties CFR/TC administrations and Congresses.
Zbigniew Brzezinski wrote in his book, “between two ages” p. 72 (1970) - “Marxism is simultaneously a victory of the external active man over the inner passive man, and a victory of reason over belief.” This man, a Democrat and Henry Kissinger, a Republican; both employed by David Rockefeller, and both CFR/TC /Bilderberger members. Both are one world globalists (pro Marxist/Fascist, per their own writings). Think about it! Can you see how “The Fix” is ensuring a one world dictatorship, to be ruled by these parasitic elitists?

In “Foreign Affairs ”(a CFR publication), April 1974, Richard Gardener, Ambassador to Italy, writes “an end run around national sovereignty, eroding it piece by piece, will accomplish much more than the old fashioned frontal attack.”
*** A FEW QUOTED WARNINGS ON BANKING ***
“If Congress has the right to issue paper money, it was given to them to be used by themselves, not to be delegated to individuals or corporations.” - President Andrew Jackson (he revoked the U. S. Banking Charter in 1832. (A double misfire at point blank range of an attempted assassination saved his life.)
The Federal Reserve (privately owned banks) is one of the most corrupt institutions the world has ever seen.” - Senator Louis T. McFadden, 1934 (chairman of the U. S. Banking and Currency Commission for over 10 years) (probably assassinated; there were several attempts on his life before his suspicious death )
“I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. Already they have raised up a moneyed aristocracy that has set the government at defiance. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people to whom it properly belongs.” - President Thomas Jefferson
“All the perplexities, confusion, and distress in America arise, not from defects in the Constitution or confederation, not from a lack of honor or virtue, so much as from downright ignorance of the nature of coin, credit, and circulation.” - President John Adams
This ignorance still exists by design. (A magnificent cover up, (made possible by both political parties, the LSM, and “public education”). Nothing has changed except the sophistication and advancement of their one world agenda; made possible with the increased corruption of our “leaders” (politicians). The internationalist bankers and their comrades, promote and fund any government that does their bidding; be it “democracy”, socialistic, communistic, dictatorship, or monarchy.
The above forms of government promote the separation of a worker from his earnings through taxation and/or extortion. The Constitution would not have allowed this, but it has been covertly circumvented. Understand that the banker’s (and politician’s) trusts and foundations are exempt from the income and inheritance taxes that they impose on American citizens. Also remember that the abolition of private property, a heavy progressive income tax, and abolition of inheritance, are the first three planks of the Communist Manifesto.
There is not enough space to cover the Bankster’s and politician’s political subterfuge; with the interconnections of the Bilderberg Group, CFR, TC, CIA, IRS , and tax exempt foundations. Nor their use of; the United Nations, IMF, World Bank, NAFTA, WTO, etc. All used to fund their One World government agenda.
