I want to offer a few thoughts on election day from two of my favorite political theorists. For better or worse the nation chooses today and I can only hope that the country chooses better... I hope they vote for Obama. This polity cannot stand for another four years of amendment destructing, freedom usurping, neo-conservative doctrine.

John C. Calhoun

The 7th Vice president John C. Calhoun must be taken in context of the times. Seen now as merely a racist in terms of interracial practices and Indian treatment his ideology stants unique in the entirety of the school of thought. He was an extremely progressive thinker, contributing the only uniquely American concept to school of political theory. Also, served twice as vice president. A bastard, but a true visionary:

"To maintain the ascendancy of the Constitution over the lawmaking majority is the great and essential point on which the success of the [American] system must depend; unless that ascendancy can be preserved, the necessary consequence must be that the laws will supersede the Constitution; and, finally, the will of the Executive, by influence of its patronage, will supersede the laws..." -John C. Calhoun

"The government of the absolute majority is but the government of the strongest interests; and when not effectively checked, is the most tyrannical and oppressive that can be devised... [To read the Constitution is to realize that] no free system was ever farther removed from the principle that the absolute majority, without check or limitation, ought to govern." -John C. Calhoun

Thomas Jefferson

The third president of the United States frankly embodies this countries pulsing heart. It is his spirit that we must capture for today, with a small medium of Calhoun cynicism. Thomas Jefferson prescribed to an enumerable portion of political theories but solidified them into the founding principles of equality and republicanism. No, not John McCain-ism the actual practice of a representative democracy.

"The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not." -Thomas Jefferson

"Choice by the people themselves is not generally distinguished for its wisdom." -Thomas Jefferson

"An elective despotism was not the government we fought for, but one which should not only be founded on true free principles, but in which the powers of government should be so divided and balanced among general bodies of magistracy, as that no one could transcend their legal limits without being effectually checked and restrained by the others." -Thomas Jefferson


I hope so.
