The False Left-Right Paradigm & The Illusion of Choice
Legend, George Carlin tells it like it is:
Former Congressman Ron Paul spoke with RT about these issues on Tuesday:“What do they do with our young people? They send them all around the world, getting involved in wars and telling them they have to have democratic elections,” Paul said. “But here at home, we don’t have true Democracy. We have a monopoly of ideas that is controlled by the leaders of two parties. And they call it two parties, but it’s really one philosophy.”
Americans can “fight to get rid of the monopoly of Republicans and Democrats,” Paul said, or “try to influence people with ideas and infiltrate both political parties.”
With respect to the midterm elections, though, Paul told RT that he’s uncertain what policies will prevail this year — excluding, of course, an obvious win for the status quo.
“I think the status quo is pretty strong right now, and I imagine that the status quo is going to win the election tonight,” he said Tuesday afternoon.
