I Give Up!!!

This political season has to be the most bizarre in modern times! The two major political parties have fielded the two most unqualified and nutty candidates imaginable. The political parties have given us a crony oligarch and a crony statist. Incidentally, the crony statist was a donor for the crony oligarch who also attended his latest wedding. The qualifications of the crony oligarchic are that her husband was the President in the early days of the Federal Reserve manipulation of the economy. Her husband is regarded as successful due to this manipulation resulting in the inflation of asset prices (Housing, Stocks, etc.) -- thank you Alan Greenspan. She was also a carpetbagger one term Senator and a Secretary of State, a political appointee, who used that position to travel the world and rake in money for her personal fortune. The crony statist used his connections to manipulate the system by using a bastardized concept of Imminent Domain taking private property from private citizens under threat of state force to enrich himself. He is also a master of using Bankruptcy law and the devastation that brings to protect his personal fortune. There is no need to mention coughing, fainting, name calling, strange hair, etc. with these two, they fail on their simply on merit.

As a Libertarian, I have generally been able to sit "on high" and look down upon the little plebs and wonder why they vote they way they do? Bizzaroworld has even infected the Libertarian world. We have been presented a successful governor who is apparently horrible at communication, likes to talk about dope and is hell bent on getting the communist supporters of Bernie Saunders to vote for him. He has seemingly forgotten he is the Libertarian candidate and not the Green Party candidate. His V.P. choice is no more Libertarian than the two cronies that are running for the two major parties. Ugh. Once again failure on merit.

I actually hold a Political Science degree from way back in the day when things made some sense. You could actually make predictions and estimates of voters and votes based on many factors and we felt smart. Now in Bizzaroworld it appears that Fed manipulation, monetization of debt to allow spending by the legislator to buy the corrupt public's votes are the only factors. I cannot estimate or even guess who will be the victor in November. One week it seems it will be the oligarch and the next week it will be the statist. I suppose it doesn't really matter as both will give us bigger government. One side will be loosely based on internationalist goals and the other loosely based on nationalistic goals. This bigger government will be funded by an out-of-control enabling Fed who will monetize whatever debt that is necessary for the Leviathan to grow. The individual loses either way. It appears it is check-mate! It is game set match in favor of the state. We get the government we ask for. I give up!
