Third Parties Reply To British Isles

Ross Perot campaigned on the theme of bringing in the "best and brightest" to fix our problems. This is the same theme our current parties have been saying since the sixties, that is bring in bright people and let them make the decisions, instead of some version of keeping the government limited so the citizens can decide for themselves how to go about it. Relying on the "best and brightest" brought about the Great Society, the Vietnam War, and all of these centralized bureaucracies who think that in order to solve our countries' problems they need the power to make things happen. Of course, the people deciding for themselves would too often not do the "right" thing, so they must be guided to do the right thing.

Ross Perot did campaign on a theme of bringing in the "best and brightest" to fix some things. And, yes, JFK was in the process of doing this, before he was so tragically stopped. Had JFK lived, and was able to carry out some of the reforms with his "best and brightest" people, things very likely would have turned out much differently. But, when LBJ took office, the Best and Brightest were done away with for the most part and replaced with cronies of LBJ, and he had many, and most had no scruples, and of course if they had any scruples, they would not have had anything to do with LBJ, who was scoundrel and blackmailer starting back in his high school and college years. He was the master at getting dirt on people and blackmailing them to get what he wanted. His Great Society programs were to be an appeasement for his Vietnam War perpetration, which he perpetrated for profits for self and other contractors. And, since those days, these programs have continued to operate and grow into a huge, mostly worthless bureaucratic system that has grown and guaranteed institutionalized dependence on the government that has created several generations of people who have lost their dignity, work ethic and family structures.
At this point, we must begin to dismantle the bureaucracy, but that will not happen without election reforms and with good, bright people who fix the problems, then go home.
