I found this over at the Crisis Papers. It’s a very good description of the way our elections are just so much manipulation. Here’s the opening:
In the United States of America, the public selects the candidates of each of the two parties. Several candidates of these parties offer themselves to the citizens of a number of states, the free US press presents the policy positions of the candidates to the public, and the free broadcast media conduct debates in which the issues are openly discussed. Then the states hold primaries and caucuses, in which delegates are chosen by the voters, whereupon the delegates choose the parties’ nominees at open national party conventions.
And little George Washington really did chop down his daddy’s cherry tree.
It gets even better. Check it out.
