X-Y-Z: THE MECHANIX OF AMERYCAN POLITICZ was written by Stephen T. McCarthy over at FERRET-FACED FASCIST FRIENDS. However, I could have used his URL for my "X" today: xtremelyun-pcandunrepentant. You might wonder why someone would change their blog to F-FFF from that (I did). He says this in his FAQ: "I think very few readers stumbling upon this Blog and seeing the self-applied "fascist" label would take it seriously. I think most people would immediately suspect, at the very least, that there’s more to the title than meets the eye."

Therefore, Stephen dislikes politicians of all stripes (with a few exceptions). You only make his A-List if you are actively protecting our rights as stated in The Constitution. And he points out, regularly, that pretty much NO ONE in Washington is doing that. Trust me, I know that it is difficult to accept the idea that the political arena doesn't work as you thought.
Does that make a person uncomfortable? You bet.
Does that make his blog controversial? You bet.
Arlee Bird said this about Stephen's blog...
And that is true.
So, slip on your Thinking Cap because we are about to dive in. And keep this thought in mind: “No one party can fool all of the people all of the time. That’s why we have two parties.”

X-Y-Z: THE MECHANIX OF AMERYCAN POLITICZ (excerpted) by Stephen T. McCarthy

X-Y-Z (Or, “THE HEGELIAN DIALECTIC”)
The Hegelian Dialectic used in the realm of politics is a form of
conflict resolution in which a condition (“Thesis” a.k.a. “Z”) is
challenged or endangered by an opposing force (“Antithesis” a.k.a. “X”)
and culminates in a resolution or compromise (“Synthesis” a.k.a. “Y”).X-Y-Z: THE MECHANIX OF AMERYCAN POLITICZ (excerpted) by Stephen T. McCarthy

X-Y-Z (Or, “THE HEGELIAN DIALECTIC”)
Today, we have an ideal example of The Hegelian Dialectic which we can look at in the form of ObamaCare. It is agreed upon at a certain level by our Social/Political Engineers behind the scenes that Socialized Medicine is the goal for a variety of reasons. But getting there can’t be accomplished in one big leap due to some citizen opposition. When a condition must be brought about in stages, the Elites, who manipulate our landscape for their own benefit, will utilize the Hegelian model.
The Republicans, pretending to fight for The Individual and professing a wish to retain the status quo, have set up at position “Z”. The Democrats, pretending to fight for The People and professing the need for an entirely reorganized and outright Socialized medical system, have set up at position “X”.
(Left) X ----------------------------------- Z (Right)
Everyone knows that a significant segment of the American People is still a bit squeamish about overt Socialism, so the move to “X” will have to be accomplished by degrees.
What will ultimately occur with the ObamaCare proposition is a compromise. The medical/insurance system we presently have will indeed be altered, but not to the degree that the Democrats are calling for. The Republicans will give some ground while engaged in “the good fight” and the Democrats will reluctantly accept a position to the right of their desired “X”. When the pseudo-fighting is all over, when the dust has settled and the smoke has cleared, you will find that we will have been moved left of “status quo Z” and met the Democrats at Y. The compromise at Y will be a semi-socialized system. This fake fight will eventually lead to this:
X compromises to the Y position as does Z. (If you want to see the cool graph link back to the original post. Blogger has foiled my every attempt to recreate it. Same goes with the one below.)
Afterwards, the Republicans will be able to say, "We defended America against the Liberals and managed to avoid X." The Democrats will be able to say, "We fought against the Right-Wing Extremists and we managed to get Y for The People."
But the next time this issue is brought to the table, the Democrats will set up at “W” and the Republicans will be defending the NEW status quo at “Y”.
(Left) W ---------------------------------- Y (Right)
After the phony fight is over and the two parties have made their compromises toward the “center”, the healthcare issue will stand at “X” which, of course, is where the socialistic Democrats had intended to take us all along and the point that the Republicans knew they would eventually reach during the process of “yielding a reluctant consent” (to again borrow a phrase from Edward Mandell House).
W compromises to the X position as does Y.
Make no mistake about it, both political parties knew all along that our destination would be “X” because it was determined by the Council on Foreign Relations which guides (read: “directs”) both the Democrats and the Republicans.
This formula is played out over and over again in both the Big Colosseum (at the National level) and in the smaller arenas (in the state legislatures). And this, ladies and gentlemen, is one of the most ingenious tactics by which our elected representatives have been able, over time, to move this country ever Leftward into Socialism and Big Brother Statism.
I know that is a lot to chew on. Keep in mind that was written back in 2010 and look at where we are now :Y. In fact, your brain might even now be rebelling that this could possibly true. *It just isn't possible that the Democrats and Republicans are in it together to strip away our Constitutional rights and move us toward Socialism.* I know that it is tough to swallow. It means accepting that NO ONE in Washington is actually on the side of We The People and they are all working together to take away our liberty. OR maybe you are excited to read something by someone who isn't rooting for the Red or Blue team, but is on YOUR side.
