The Civil War Being Fought In D.C.

For many years there has been a civil war going on right under our noses. There are two sides and they make battle in Washington D.C. and we the citizens are paying the bill for a war we didn’t start and don’t want. There are three ways that a civil ends.
1. The two sides come to an agreement .....which is not likely unless a third party steps in to help resolve the conflict by means of mediation between the two and fresh new creative ideas that work.
2. One side wins which means somebody loses which includes citizens as our destiny will be controlled by one supreme party.
3. An outside force crushes both sides and takes control.
So, with that we have little option but to become the third party....that's right we the citizens. I don’t think anyone would like the idea of #3 let’s say China decides payment is due because we fall behind on payments…. and they see that our leaders are too busy fighting among themselves to notice a stealth attack economic takeover. Okay, what about the second choice? The winning party would take extreme measures to assure that they will always have control………can’t really call that a democracy can you?
Both Republicans and Democrats cringe at the idea of a strong third party. They and their supporters tell you that it would divide the vote and that you would lose in the end. It is time we stopped falling for their lies and persuasions. They are fearful of a third party because it would mean that they would have to stop fighting in this power struggle, start coming to agreement and do their job. But to stop fighting……that would mean that they would not win…….they have to win…………that is their mindset as we have seen in the debates over raising the debt ceiling. Now so as to offend anyone of neither party that may truly have the common good in mind and are prone to agreement……this does not include you. There are I believe good people in both parties, and I hope that those individuals will consider joining our cause. This war has went on for too long …25…30….50 years or longer, party politics has come before the people, and the welfare of our country. It is time we became once again the powerful industrialize nation that the entire world looked up to and was an example of true liberty and freedom. I for one want the success story back……I want the hope back for my children and my children’s children. Currently…. all that I have is fear for their future.
