The two party political system in America is as natural as rain. Left and Right, North and South, white & black...opposing, natural forces that develop whenever any one single entity exists.
The problem with our system isn't that there's a left and right; the problem is that one party actually is split naturally, and the other is not.
Whatever two sides the Democrat party had was decimated three weeks ago when any Democrat even rumored to be "moderate" was run out of office, leading the Democrat party even further left than it was, before the election.
Meanwhile, the GOP continues to be divided along lines drawn in the sand by the teaparty movement/conservatives, while those considered "moderate" in the party have seemingly taken a position that the teaparty may be a threat.
It's a healthy debate on the right. It's also natural. What is not natural however, is what the Democrat party represents.
While losing a record number of seats both in Congress and in virtually every state but a handful in the union, Democrats actually moved further left, by reelecting those who have led the party down a disastrous, reckless road and who now have driven out from the party anyone considered even remotely conservative or moderate.
The party has no left and right within. It is commanded and saturated with far-left extremists who are completely out of the mainstream.
Which brings me to the point of this post: America is reacting to what is essentially a political injustice. When Barack Obama was sworn into office, he was not being elected to buy General Motors, or to takeover the healthcare insurance sector, or the college loan program.
The president was elected to represent the best interests of the American people and he has done the opposite, while representing a minority of Americans who "strongly support" his policies.
This is not how our system was designed to work. No president and no Congress are to act as benevolent dictators. They are commanded by law to represent the people, and they take an oath and swear to God Almighty to guard and protect the US Constitution and for the past two years, they've done anything but.
Those practices either come to a halt and the Democrat party changes its' radical course, or two years hence, the American people will move once again as they did on the 2nd of this month, to show tone-deaf, arrogant, corrupt legislators that no longer will their tyranny be tolerated.
