Party politics is quite un-American. It divides America which is unconstitutional, it sponsors self-interest rather than national interest, it magnifies personal glory over unified glory. Party interest sometimes amounts to treason and, in general terms politics is really a stupid way to operate a unified nation.

We are not in competition with ourselves. I personally can’t remember anyone taking fire in war for a party. Politicians seem more like termites that have infested America to tear it apart.

If we could prohibit party voting in favor of wisdom voting and make politics a crime, America would benefit greatly.
