It's all a lie

Once again frustration at the success of openly dishonest communication has forced me to write. This time I will explain how our entire political system is a sham.

First, some definitions. They all come from Webster. Remember them when I use these terms later.
Webster's definition of Liberalism:
a: a theory in economics emphasizing individual freedom from restraint and usually based on free competition, the self-regulating market, and the gold standard
b : a political philosophy based on belief in progress, the essential goodness of the human race, and the autonomy of the individual and standing for the protection of political and civil liberties
Webster's definition of Conservatism:
a : disposition in politics to preserve what is established
b : a political philosophy based on tradition and social stability, stressing established institutions, and preferring gradual development to abrupt change
c: the tendency to prefer an existing or traditional situation to change
Webster's definition of Socialism:
a: any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods
b : a system of society or group living in which there is no private property
c : a system or condition of society in which the means of production are owned and controlled by the state
Webster's definition of Fascism:
a: a political philosophy, movement, or regime that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition
b: a tendency toward or actual exercise of strong autocratic or dictatorial control

Lie #1: We have a two-party system.
There are many political parties in America, but only two get press. The media assists the Dems and Reps because they get kickbacks and influence - just like any other lobbyist group. The truth is that there are at least three other serious parties that have valuable positions worth arguing: Libertarians, The Green Party and the Independent Party. While I don't agree much with the Greens or Indes, I am a firm believer that their perspectives add to our collective whole as a nation.
But our "two-party system" won't let them in the door. The Dems and Reps lock 3rd parties out of debates (even arresting 3rd party candidates that show up to debates under court orders!), they sabotage attempts to get 3rd party candidates on state ballots and worst of all: They have insidiously modified America's understanding of political definitions. To me, this is the smartest, and most evil, trick played on Americans by Americans. If one does not know the rules of the game, one cannot possibly win - And the Reps and Dems have collaborated to blur the lines to such as extent that all but the most studious voters cannot really understand who they are voting for.
The key word in "two-party system" is system! Just like mafia Dons, the Reps and Dems have territories (both ideological and physical) that they may squabble over, but they will not hesitate to collaborate in preventing anyone new from getting a meaningful foothold in the game. Is this the government you want to have? Are these the people you want to support?

Lie #2: Democrats are liberals.
First, let me remind you that "Democrat" is a political party, and "liberal" is a political ideology. One does NOT necessarily determine the other. Democrats are commonly thought of as pushing a liberal agenda, but are in fact more similar to fascists (yes, like the Nazis). As this is no doubt a shocking statement, I remind you to refer back to the definitions above. The following are commonly known Democratic Party platforms and their true definition match:
Political Correctness = Fascist: national stability placed above the individual right of expression/severe social regimentation. Race placed above the individual's right to free, peaceful expression.
Socialized heath care = Sounds socialist, but is in fact Fascist: a centralized autocratic government, severe economic and social regimentation. A true "socialist" system would in fact be entirely state run without any privatization from insurance providers to doctors.
Social Security = Sounds socialist, but is in fact Fascist: a centralized autocratic government, severe economic and social regimentation. Again, in a true "socialist" system you would not get retirement payments, as all property belongs to the state.
Minimum Wage laws = Fascist: severe economic regimentation, restricting free trade and negotiations of labor.
Tax increases/fighting against tax reduction = Conservative Fascism: the tendency to prefer an existing or traditional situation to change, stressing established institutions, severe economic regimentation, preference of regimentation over invention.
Arresting 3rd party candidates for attempting to serve a summons under court orders to do so = Fascist: Forcible suppression of opposition.
Please note: I am not saying any of these party platforms are wrong, that's not the purpose of this essay, I am simply proving that Democrats are not liberal - and are therefore lying to their constituency.


Lie #3: Republicans are conservative.
Once again, a reminder, "Republican" is a political party, and "conservative" is a political ideology. One does NOT necessarily determine the other. Republican's throw the word conservative around a lot, but in reality they are only morally conservative. Economically, and even socially they can be very liberal; and their security measures tend toward Fascism (again, look at the definitions). The following are commonly known Republican Party platforms and their true definition match:
Homeland Security Act/Patriot Act = Fascist: tendency toward or actual exercise of strong autocratic or dictatorial control.
Tax reduction, IRS reform = Liberal: a theory in economics emphasizing individual freedom from restraint and usually based on free competition, the self-regulating market.
Right to bear arms = Liberal: a political philosophy based on the autonomy of the individual and standing for the protection of political and civil liberties.
Minimizing increases in minimum wage = Liberal: a theory in economics emphasizing individual freedom from restraint and usually based on free competition, the self-regulating market.
Anti-Political Correctness = Liberal: a political philosophy based on the autonomy of the individual and standing for the protection of political and civil liberties.
Arresting 3rd party candidates for attempting to serve a summons under court orders to do so = Fascist: Forcible suppression of opposition.
Please note: I am not saying any of these party platforms are wrong, that's not the purpose of this essay, I am simply proving that Republicans are not truly conservative - and are therefore lying to their constituency.

Lie #4: Americans are stupid and can't think for themselves. They must be cajoled, brainwashed, misinformed, bribed or threatened into choosing what's "best for them."
If you've read this far you've already proven the fallacy of lie #4. Thank you.
