Democracy's Hypocrisies

Democracys Hypocrisies. My gravitas to write Democracys Hypocrisies emanated in part from President Obamas utter adversities since procurement of the office of commander in chief but largely due to desperate attempts by a small segment of society to displace the power of the peoples vote with that of their positions of enormous wealth. Numerous social issues are addressed with the intent to uncover the hypocrisies which have eroded traditional Democracy as we know it. Hopefully the reader will upon completion of this book find the revelations both informative and enlightening. In my view it would appear that for the entire duration of his tenure in the White House this president has been faced with the daunting task of swimming upstream in his attempts to pass anything through congress. Additionally he has endured more dishonor disrespect and caricature in his capacity as president of the United States than anyone else in the history of American presidents. No other president before Mr. Obama has sustained such ridicule while holding the most powerful and noble office in the entire universe. Nonetheless he has demonstrated exemplary qualities in the manner in which he has maintained his dignity by remaining impervious to such acrimony clearly intended to detract him away from his agenda. There are manifestations of attempts by a small segment of society to shift the power from the peoples vote to the omnipotence of their millions. Last elections saw the most money infused into campaign funds of a few candidates on both sides of the aislebut more on the Republican end of the spectrum. More importantly in the wake of the 2012 elections a number of states have vamped up their efforts to disenfranchise minorities through voter suppression allegations of voter fraud as well as gerrymandering. This is in direct contradiction to traditional democracy whose very fundamental principle is government of the people by the people and for the people. Furthermore with the recent passage of the legislation by the Supreme Court allowing donors to endow as much as they deem necessary to their representativeswith no obligation to divulge their sources one can only imagine how much money will be thrown into the bag in 2016. This is total hypocrisygiven that the vote should carry more weight than the dollar in a democratic society. Clearly there have been significant erosions to traditional democracy as we know it. It is therefore my hope that power be restored back to the people through their fundamental right to vote thus allowing them the ability to determine who is elected to public office rather than a handful of wealthy individuals.
