Game Theory, Part II

“WAR TACTICS AND STRATEGY”

(Sep. 6, 2012) — In my essay “Game Theory” I outlined the fact the democrat party uses the basic theory of gaming, the age old form of practicing strategy and tactics, in all its means of competing in elections.  This may sound like making a big deal out of nothing, however “game theory” has no place for moral or ethical choice, it is nothing more nor less than the teaching of war fighting, the tactics and strategies used to win wars.

As we enter the last stage of the election process, we need to consider what we are doing in the election process.  There is no excuse for using war strategy to select representatives in government if we believe in the process of government.

The proper platform for a Republican party is long established, it should rest exactly on the establishing principles of our Republic, our rule of law, The U.S. Constitution, and the absolute reliance on truth as the final arbiter.

The party of the democrats has chosen progressivism as its party’s ideology, and they press for constant change.  Their premise is the idea the very form of our republic is inherently racist, inherently incapable of providing equal outcome for differing people, and the fundamental form must be changed, and they are willing to use war tactics to alter our form.

This perspective is antithetical to our established form of government as it has built into it the means by which any faction can agitate, argue, place facts before congress, and alter it the moment sufficient numbers are convinced the change is good and proper, and within the law.

With our form vastly changed, bloated and overburdening us, it is obvious we are not short a means of altering our current form, within the law, only the fact that it takes an overwhelming majority agreeing, has kept our form stable and rational.

The history of our Nation over the past century is replete with crimes committed by presidents, the judiciary, and most especially, congress, in passing law, altering law and abusing law, because The People have shown their abject rejection of desired changes, pressed by the political class, but clearly not in the interests of the majority of citizens.

Our current government is by no means “federal” as defined by our Constitution, but is in fact a central government, as it in no way comports with the exacting limitations of the constitution.  By this, it is entirely outside “the rule of law.”  For most of my life, amendments proposing identifying “chapter and verse” of the constitution authorizing a bill have been tabled, demonstrating the knowledge in congress they routinely violate the law.

The facts are these:  the left has worked for well over a century to turn our nation into a social democracy.  They have worked to make the changes for over a century and failed to get popular support.  Having long ago realized they can’t accomplish their desire within the law, war tactics and strategies are entirely comfortable for them.  They have made so much law outside the constitution we have an “elephant” government trying to stand on a “mouse” sized constitution.

We can accept and fight on their terms, and lose, or we can re-establish the fact our decision making in this issue, the election of government, is done by rational debate.  We deal with direct and exact issues, with facts, principles and proposals, and we can refuse to accept politics of personal destruction.

If we don’t repudiate the strategy they come to the table with, we implicitly endorse it as appropriate, and we allow charges of racism be the venue and are sucked into defending an issue which is entirely manufactured.  There is no reasonable means to support the charges of institutional racism, and there is no evidence of racial prejudice except as put forth by the left.

We know a substantial portion of our society has simply abandoned any personal responsibility for their education, working, self sufficiency, and chosen with deliberation, to simply live on government handouts.  We know such actions are destructive to both those willing to do so, as well to society its self, as it makes for a “self determined” lower class.

We cannot be a “self-governing People” unless we are willing to be responsible for all the things a Nation must have and be to compete in this world.  We can choose to ensure we are sufficient to be self-governing, or we can feel sorry for ourselves, and let the self-anointed become our tyrants.  We have to get off our duffs, and get active, to become sufficient for self-government; we have lots to make up for.  We only have to wait, if we wish to be ruled.
