London is preparing for civil unrest this summer. Their proactive measures include deploying water cannons to control the people.

They need to take a lesson from the colonies. Never bring a water cannon when an MRAP will do.

Preparing For Civil Disobedience? London Mayor Wants Water Cannons In London By The Summer

The US may be blanketed in freezing cold, but the UK is already preparing for what should be a hot, dry summer. Either that, or the request of London mayor Boris Johnson to distribute water cannon on the street of the capital may be an indication that at least some major municipal centers are preparing for a jump in civil disobedience and are looking for appropriate, “non-lethal” means to contain it.

It is my opinion that there is no way to vote one’s way out of the current political situation. I make this statement recognizing that there are those who will continue to seek a political (peaceful) solution to the current political situation until the very moment they are dispatched at the edge of a large pit filled with their neighbors and loved ones.

One must understand the political situation as it exists. There is no reverence for the Constitution, the only thing that decides who does and who does not wield the power and authority the citizens have placed in the government. There is a means by which to elect representatives, but representatives and senators who refuse to obey their oaths of office, who turn a blind eye to abuses of power and outright usurpation of their own powers can not be functioning as representatives or senators and therefore, whether duly elected or not, are traitors and subversives.

There are no separation of powers, no equality of governmental branches. There is a president acting wholly outside the Constitution, usurping and abusing power without limit or consequence. Once the Supreme Court signed off on Obamacare, it effectively ruled that whatever the government wishes shall be done. The decision, in that case, was so sloppy and contradictory that it demonstrated an absolute disregard for the rule of law, the Constitution, stare decisis and any number of other judicial instruments of justice.

The system is broken. It is no longer a system of government at all, but rather a system of power.

Our political system is the envy of the world and our republic the model for every nation on earth. Our problems are not generated by our system of government but rather by the people that we elect to make it work. When one sees the ineptness of Washington, one is forced to wonder if we wouldn’t be better off picking 535 names out of random telephone books.

The biggest single problem that one can observe with regard to politicians is the “peter principle” where every elected politician or bureaucrat is elected or appointed to a level of incompetence. For example, a fine young man or woman will seek election to a city or county commission. They live in the city or country and know the problems and might even have a solution of sorts which would be beneficial to their local citizens. Then smitten with the power of political office, they decide that they want to be a United States Representative and then they suddenly find themselves a part of a massive inept, power hungry group. The problems that they encounter on the national stage are protracted and inflicted on the nation by its lawmakers. Every debt that America owes, every bloated inefficient bureaucracy, every oppressive regulation, and every challenge which our nation faces was caused by our elected officials with their yeas and nays. Mechanics fix things —lawyers make laws – mostly those that we don’t want or need.

Another problem is nepotism, which must be a cousin of the “peter principle.” We had Bush 41, who by any measurable standard was a nice man —but then, so is my neighbor who allows me to hunt on his farm. Then we had Clinton I, who was intelligent and a competent politician but had the morals of a buck deer during rut. Next came Bush 43 who also seemed nice but was probably more suited to be the president of a large protestant denomination than the United States. Now we are blessed with Obama, whose only qualifications center on being partly black and having great teleprompter reading skills. Next in line for the throne is Clinton II, who does have her husband’s intelligence or personality.
