America's body politic is infected, with the baseness of men... These godless men speak in familiar accents, they wear the face and garments of our neighbors, but at heart, they undermine the pillars of liberty and rot our Nation’s soul. These political psychopaths lie with impunity and cunning, purchasing public favor with promises they can not keep. They are charismatic and confident, the elite who commit global crimes: mass genocide, generational slavery, and the theft of the Wealth of Nations. Bernie Madoff has nothing on these men. Aesop said of these men “We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to high office.”
“Government is not reason, it is not eloquence – it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and fearful master.” ― George Washington. Governments like fire can be both a blessing or a curse. When the government is limited it can help to preserve man’s unalienable rights, but as a fire out of control it can also be the force that can destroy the lives, liberty, and property of the people it was created to protect.”
If a society has too much government the people become the subjects of tyrants... while, in societies with too little government, they experience anarchy. For peace, prosperity, and freedom, to be maximized, the government must be held in check. In our case, that check was (past tense) the Constitution; when, combined with a well-educated, moral, and vigilant, people, our liberty was secure. Today the Constitution is ignored and the people have forsaken their moral compass. The people have been ‘dumbed down’ and apathy rules the body politic of our nation.
Hence, our government is no longer held in check... by the chains of its Constitution or a moral and vigilant people. The Constitution is no longer rigidly enforced by a moral or well-educated and informed people. It is therefore imperative that ‘we the people’, reinstate the traditional values that made our Nation… a City set upon a hill, a beacon of liberty in a world of darkness… The American Dream requires due diligence by a moral, informed, and vigilant, people.
I fear that the candle of our liberty will soon be extinguished… that its source of light no longer rests in the heart of its people; that, our father’s creed and love of liberty, has been lost to an entire generation. America as we knew her is fading in the twilight of her Constitution. A dream extinguished by an ill-informed, immoral people; whose, better judgment has been replaced by the baser values of the mob… who now look to prosper at another’s expense.
“
Government is the great fiction... thru which everybody endeavors to live at the expense of everybody else.” Frederick Bastiat. Our government has proven these words to be true. The fundamentals of our liberty no longer rest in the hearts and minds of the people. The baser moral values of the mob now rule… as each man looks to prosper at another’s expense.

And a new world order speaks today from the pillars of government and the halls of our public schools... lying to our children and deceiving the public with utopian grandeur and impossible outcomes. Where will it stop? There is no free lunch.
What interested me most in your post is this question. Why do people run for office? Local, State, or Federal? What is their reason for doing so?
With very few exceptions it appears to be for personal reasons. To be in charge. To have your words taken seriously, never mind your personal behavior. It is all about show. To be on stage. To act the part. To exercise authority, to be in charge.
And the results show this to be true. And the same people, for the very same reasons, do it all over again every two, or four, or six years. The same stuff. Is that insane or what?
Once in a long while a person comes along, and shares some of the same reasons for running probably, but also seeks office to correct wrongs, to do what is good and right for others. I think Trump was one of those rare exceptions. And from day one he was villified, attacked, lied about, and the baseness of those in office were determined to get rid of the SOB.
And look at his replacement. What a perfect fit, huh?
What people say, and what they do, are almost never related. And what needs to be done is never addressed. Just talked about.
When Christ returns He will be fought as a great enemy of mankind. Remarkable. Astonishing even. He will be considered as an alien from outer space.
The stage is already set for it.
