Poll: A New Political System in Satire

I have an idea for a new political system, which needs neither a two Party system nor a three party system. Let me know if you like it. I call it the Zero, One, Two, Three Party System.

Here is how it works and later you can even vote on it, if you like. Of course, I may try to Rig the votes, but hey, that’s life in America these days.

The System
Both parties have a primary. Both Parties pick the Presidential and Vice Presidential people and congress, both houses, 100 Senators and the 435 House of Representatives they would most like to see running things in America.

Then we send all of those chosen to DC: 200 senatorial candidates and 870 House candidates, just sitting or lying around, waiting for something to do-Oh, and we will, indeed, give them something to do and here is what it is: Not much of anything, because there is then going to be no more Republican, Neo-con, or Democratic Liberal/Progressive advantage. All 1074 people go to Washington DC. A Democratic President and Vice President and a Republican President and Vice President and 100 Republican and 100 Democratic Senators, 435 Democratic House members and 435 Republican House members.

Isn’t that great? For the first time in history, everyone gets exactly what they want and no one party has a voting advantage. Now NOTHING will pass! Which is great for all of us. They will be deadlocked over everything. Just think no wars, no depressions, no inflation, and no no-bid contractors. Nothing will pass without compromise. If each side holds to principles instead of having injustice we’ll have NOTHING-and nothing from politicians is GOOD!

Now and then they may compromise on things, which may be good for all, but without private deal making. Oh, I suppose that the Forefathers thought the same thing when they created the two party systems, but their math was off and sliding downward these last two hundred thirty-two years.

Therefore when they work hard at nothing and we will saddle them with no good tools to do even that, so, they will have to, be forced to do what is right because power over all of them is the LAW, backed up by men/women in uniform. However, the Civil Military would have no power over civilians, only over politicians. They will be stripped of all technology to spy on us, the loyal citizens of the USA. That technology will be in the hands of the major universities, colleges, and the voters only.

No president will ever again have control of The War Powers Act, or the Military Commissions Act of 2006. The war powers act can only be put into action in three immediate elections. One from both Houses and both sets of Presidents and will be purely advisory. The last from every person in the USA and there will be no means other than a Social Security Card or Driver’s License which is needed to vote; no record of voting or registration. You just vote. As far as the spying goes, Mukasey, who I must remind myself was approved by the Democrats, now wants to send FBI agents into neighborhoods posing as whatever, questioning neighbors about you. Giving any rat-bastard, Nazi neighbors who hate your guts the chance to spy on you and report you for things you never even heard of. I say now is time for all Americans to begin having public sex so the neighboring spy system will have at least juicy, but truthful things to say about you.

The Referenda Organizers can use Bytheway, voting by the Houses as study guides, but only the people, by Referenda, may veto anything. The two presidents can advise however, if they agree on a veto, the People will take it under advisement, but the final is their’s alone to make.

The Supreme Court.

Both parties appoint their choices; both sets of justices become members under a tenure policy. They serve for three years, can be renewed for 3 more, and then finally three more and then they will be out and new justices will be offered.

Lobbying would become one of only a handful of National Capital crimes. Anyone trying to influence anyone in government other than as salespeople presenting their products or services, or anyone attempting to gain favors from such sales people, is subject to immediate arrest and speedy trials before either being released or being exiled forever. Capital crimes do not end in death. Death remains in the hands of the Great Spirit, not in the hands of men. Prisons will be banned as privatized or publically traded commodities. Universities will thereafter manage prisons under the watchful eye of the people and the courts.

There will be no Organized Religions-plural, there will be only one, a group which will be caretakers for large chapels open to the public at all hours with God’s and Goddesses, saints and what have you for whomever wishes a statue or painting or stained glass window dedicated and can raise the cash to do so. These can be erected in private homes or if there is room in the many chapels in every town.

There will be no preachers and no hierarchies, just buildings and God. There will also be one Temple to Beelzebub and statues there will be erected to Cheney, Bush, and the oil companies, Hitler and assorted other Demoniacs. Those who go there to worship will be dunked in oil up to their necks in the shrine’s basement or sentenced to eat commercial food-fast-food with MSG, Modified Starches, Autolyzed Yeast, petro-distillate chemicals, transfats and be sprayed regularly with pesticides. Herbicides and solvents, and breath the toxic fumes of Scented candle and Plug-in Fragrances and listen to for the rest of there lives.

The military will be everyone. There will be a military draft and everyone regardless of ability or disability will be required to serve in some capacity for two years between high school and college, if they are able to work at all. Moreover, they must stay in shape for their lifetimes; just on, the slim chance there should ever again be war, God Forbid.

Marriage:

There will be none. By turning water into wine, Jesus did not make marriage a sacrament, for several reasons: He did, so, if you recall, reluctantly. Jesus was extremely out spoken, a Liberal/Progressive in opposition to the rule of the ultraconservative Herodian Kings and Chief Priests, as we know. He saw my ancestors, the Romans, as extremely conservative as well. Their war mongering and violence places them squarely in opposition to Jesus and his peace movement, being outspoken enough to get himself hung on a cross for his words, if he wanted marriage to be listed as a sacrament he would have said so straight-out, as he said everyone should communicate in straight terms, simply and honestly. People were still practicing polygamy in Israel at that time and marriage was a simple informal matter.

People, meet, mate and live together if they wish or apart if they wish. If they want some sort of ceremony, they can do it themselves at one of the chapels or at home or at a hotel, or in their gardens, parks, or baseball games, or on some street corner or at the bakery, or in the bathroom of their next airliner trip, or on their motorcycles for all we care. There will be discrimination in this process. People can have as many or as few or no partners that is up to the discretion of consenting adults. No one, no parent or guardian, will be allowed to force a child to become a domestic partner until they have reached the age of their Majority and will be thus then be able to make such decision on their own as long as they can support a partner.

Capital Punishment/Preemptive War

Only GOD expresses the Will of God. If he wants people to die for what they have done, He and He alone will take care of that, never humans. If God is powerful enough to have created the entire universe, He needs no help from puny humans to obliterate the evil ones. In fact, we wish he would, which action would leave us without any politicians.

Health Care/Housing/Jobs
There will be “cradle to grave healthcare” for every single living being in America and nothing will be outsourced. All homes whether apartments or houses will have R-30 in the walls and R-50 in the ceilings and HVAC choices will consist of: Hydrogen, hot-water radiator, Geothermal, solar, or combo, or windmill and combos thereof, and whatever new technology warrants. There will be no system, which uses Oil or gas. Those ancient things will be left to other nations over which to fight. Those who favor oil will be exiled to those nations, if any, which still use them. Any person attempting to corner any markets will be exiled.

Healthcare, Water, Fuel and Other Necessities of Life
THE ABOVE will be FREE for everyone. No one shall profit upon the misfortunes of others. We will concentrate on as much of heaven on earth as is possible. There will be a cap on annual income at $2.5 million per person, anything above that is, in reality stealing from captive shareholders. Everyone will be guaranteed a job with a minimum wage sufficient to raise a family. All necessities will be Nationalized, because Free Enterprise is a myth at all but the lowest levels. At the national level No-Bid contracts, favoritism and political influence make small businesses into Big Business; the rest is a joke for the feeble-minded and the brain addled.

We have no need for the ancient wet dream of the myth of Free Enterprise for the necessities of life. For that purpose, all necessities should be Nationalized and as Bill Gates, his dad and many others, myself included, have said, the rich should be barred from leaving any more than $5 million to their children. The rest goes to rebuilding and maintaining the national Infrastructure. I go a step farther, in that I believe no one should be enabled to keep more than $10 million in savings. Every penny I may have above that, mark goes to charity.

The True Reason For the Hasty Framing and Lynching of Jesus
I could go on and expand on the above, but one thing is quite certain, Jesus, The Arch Liberal, was hung on the cross not for his religious beliefs, but for his economic beliefs. Forever among the Jews, all sorts of beliefs were present in each wayside temple/chapel. The noted Rabbis of history were always arguing about theological truths. The

Much of what Jesus stated was previously said by the Prophets and especially by Rabbi Hillel long before Jesus was born. The reality is that Jesus’ speech in Jerusalem concerning “The Day Of The Lord” was a reference to the “Jubilee Year.” The Year the Lord, referring to the legitimacy of bankruptcy in which after seven years all debt was forgiven. After that, seven times those seven years, plus one, was the Jubilee Year, (The Year of the Lord and also in that singular case, added was the coming of the Messiah, to see to it, Himself.) In that eventful year, all land confiscated or sold for taxes in the previous 49 years, were to be returned to the family of the original owners. This would pose economic havoc and lawsuits for the Priests who were banned from own land and hypocritically claimed that they may own land, but may not work it, hence the outsourcing to sub-contractors. Jesus was come to put an end to their profiteering. More than that, the Romans would skin them alive or crucify them for stealing tax and profits, or the Zealots would slit their throats. The Jubilee Year was thus not a promising time for the Chief Herodian priests or their co-conspirator’s

In Jesus’ era, the Chief Herodian Priests, against Moses prohibition to do so, owned land and either had outsourced the work thereof to scab sub-contractors, at below subsistence levels of the Jewish workers, or sold the land at prices the Jews could not afford, to wealthy Gentiles. Outsourced cheap scab labor and profiteering lands. Sound familiar? If Rome or the Zealots had found out about this both the Chief Herodian Priests and their lower level Roman conspiratorial bureaucrats would have been toast. THAT, is why there was such an unprecedented rush-to-judgment the very night Jesus spoke to a cheering throng. He could do or say, veritably what he wanted, within reason, in the rural, outlying districts but Jerusalem was off-limits. It was the Big Time City and the conniving political thieves would have no interference in their bargain with the Devil. Had he followed his initial speech up with more specific charges, the new Roman Governor, Pontius Pilate, would have taken notice. He was a leader of such mean-spiritedness, that a few years later he was recalled by Rome for his brutality.

Jesus was lynched by what passed as Republican-Neo-conism, fascism, maybe even Nazism in his era. He was the inspiration for The New Deal of FDR, which came closer than any governmental body in history for enacting the Sermon on The Mount and Matthew 25:31-46, as well as most of the articles of life which Jesus inspired for peace, love and charity. Therefore, it is IMPOSSIBLE in the eyes of God, for a person who is an avowed Conservative to also be accepted by that same God as a Christian. In short, a Christian saying s/he is a conservative or enacting or supporting Conservative views or tenets, is a liar and a hypocrite according to the words of Jesus or God. Merely opposing what I have just revealed is an act of blasphemy and a fast track ticket to be Hellbound. I include herein the manifesto of the people as it was set down by Jesus, most of which was adapted into our lives by FDR. Therefore please look at these ideas not necessarily as a religious manifesto, but a political, charitable, lifestyle. In which we use our gifts to benefit all, instead of a selfish desire to stand out in wealth, The evil done by the Bushites was sold as a distorted, blasphemous Bizzarro, Christianity. Conspiratorial violence and economic warfare is not Christian. Do we not owe to those less gifted the chance for happiness, at least?
Below are the items of a good life:

The Judgment of Nations
34-"Then the King will say to those on His right, 'Come, you who are blessed of My Father, (A)inherit the kingdom prepared for you (B)from the foundation of the world.
35-'For (C)I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me something to drink; (D)I was a stranger, and you invited Me in;
36-(E)naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you (F)visited Me; (G)I was in prison, and you came to Me.'
37-"Then the righteous will answer Him, 'Lord, when did we see You hungry, and feed You, or thirsty, and give You something to drink?
38-'And when did we see You a stranger, and invite You in, or naked, and clothe You?
39-'When did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?'
40-"(H)The King will answer and say to them, 'Truly I say to you, (I)to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me.'
Matthew 25:31-46
