Are Businesses and the Wealthy “Bad Citizens?”

Posted by Dr. L. Lynn Cleland | July 21, 2012

Our citizenry has been lead to believe by politicians that businesses and the wealthy are “bad greedy citizens” because they have too much power and receive special treatment. This works out nicely for the politicians since it provides food for their rhetoric. But is this conclusion true or false? The answer is “false.” The argument is up side down.

Politicians in return for favors and money (bribes) bestow power and special treatment to businesses and the wealthy. The politicians have past laws and rules that allow them to legally accept favors and money and they eagerly do so. Who are the “bad citizens” in this scenario? Is it those who offer the (legal) bribes to the politicians or the politicians who passed the laws and rules that allow them to take bribes?

Political Win Strategy: “Educate The Masses”

Posted by Dr. L. Lynn Cleland | January 3, 2012

We have ten months to “educate the masses” if we are to win our next political war. The masses include 37 million independent and some liberal voters, not just other conservatives. We must use knowledge as weapons and ballots as bullets in our non-violent battles. Many patriots have the knowledge (weapons) but we need ballots (bullets) to win. Most citizens rely on political rhetoric and other biased sources for their knowledge because they do not have the time or desire to research the facts needed to make informed decisions. We have seen the consequences of poorly informed voters. The question is: How can we turn “knowledgeable patriots” into teachers that educate and recruit enough voters to win?

Politicians’ Rules Allow Wall Street “Bribes”

Posted by Dr. L. Lynn Cleland | November 10, 2011

Wall Street demonstrators’ should focus on career politicians’ self-serving rules, e.g., allowing “legal” bribes. Unlike most groups, Congress establishes it’s own rules. These rules have evolved to obtain money for their reelection, and many perks. Any person or special interest group can provide “election funds,” and much of our money is doled out to citizens to garner votes. These are really “legal” bribes approved by Congress. We must force Congress to change their rules in order to solve Wall Street and other problems.
