Thread: Ventura compares politicians to pro wrestlers

Very accurate analogy on our two party system.

In pro wrestling, out in front of the people, we make it look like we all hate each other and want to beat the crap out of each other, and that's how we get your money, (and get you to) come down and buy tickets. They're the same thing. Out in front of the public and the cameras, they hate each other, are going to beat the crap out of each other, but behind the scenes they're all going to dinner, cutting deals. And (they're) doing what we did, too — laughing all the way to the bank. And that to me is what you have today, in today's political world, with these two parties.

It has a lot of great points about why exactly our founders did not create a democracy and instead created a republic. Democracy is dangerous to freedom, and it's important to understand how and why if we are to avoid becoming (if we're not already) a tyrannical democracy.

Hopefully Ventura will make true on his promise to head a presidential campaign in 2012.

Ventura is a great hero. His new book, "Don't Start The Revolution Without Me" is a great read. He is a truther, and a patriot.

BTW he mat run for pres in 2012.
