Over the many years since my days in school I have forgotten names and faces. I sometimes remember a face and not a name. Sometimes recall a name and can’t quite put a face with it. That is the case of a teacher that taught me a very important lesson in reason. I can recall the face, but can’t remember the name.

I can’t remember many of the lessons from that class. But one has always stuck with me. I recall most of the lesson and it was really very brilliant. The lesson was in knowing your taters.

The teacher had a large artist pad sitting on an easel in the front of the class. Each leaf of the pad had a cartoon potato acting out a political scenario. The three potato cartoon characters that now stand out the most to me were the commentater (commentator), the dictater (dictator), and the agitater (agitator).

Americans have fallen prey to the taters; due to demoralization. A demoralized populace doesn’t care for the facts of anything, and don’t have a clue about who they are, or what they really stand for; they simply follow the taters.

The United States of American has degenerated into an authoritarian dictatorship. Authoritarianism is a state of being where there is no rule of law. The law is what the authoritarians say it is; this is dictatorship.

The United States was founded with a rule of law; the United States Constitution. The Constitution set limits on government and guaranteed the rights of the individual, and the States. It is out the window with the authoritarians.

The fake political left, and the fake political right, have each, in their own way,  destroyed the rule of law and our individual liberties. This is due to the mind games played by the Taters. Because the American public doesn’t know it’s taters, the public falls victim to the political rhetoric,  and propaganda of the taters.

I have been a life long Christian Conservative and left the Republican Party during the Presidency of George H. W. Bush. The reason is; I know my taters.

During the Clinton years I was called Ultra Right Wing. During the the Dubya years, my own father, thought I was a Liberal. Yet, I remain what I always was, and have not changed. The reason; I know my taters.

Not to pick on just one tater, but as an example, here is a commentary by the Southern Avenger, a young man, that knows his taters.

Unpatriotic Sean Hannity. Who is a paid commentater/agitater.

Now, Sean Hannity is just one tater, in a great big field of rotten taters. But, in this video clip, we can clearly see the dynamics of all the taters. Dictaters, commentaters, and agitaters.

If Americans knew their taters, America would never have been in Kosovo, or even in Iraq today. There has not been a lawful, US military action since WWII. The US Constitution gives Congress the right to declare war. But the President is Commander in Chief, you say. The United States Constitution says that the President is Commander in Chief in time of war. Now, revisit the third sentence of this paragraph.

As the song says, “If you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything.”  Are you Conservative? Are you a Christian? Have you turned a blind eye to the rule of law? Did you hold to your principles, and the rule of law, or did you follow the taters?

We are lost if Americans don’t know their taters.
