Trump Is Dismantling Decades-Worth of Bureaucratic Fascism To Restore Some Semblance of The Self-Government The Constitution Elucidates and Protects

 

Emailed to me by a friend who received it from another friend:

The theoretical foundations for the unelected progressive administrative state were prepared in books, essays, and other social science publications from the 1880s into the 1920s.

The project of actually creating a large system of sprawling bureaus, staffed with large numbers unelected bureaucrats who issue and enforce regulations — binding on individual citizens — as if regulations have the power of law — even though everyone knows a regulation is not a law — took off with FDR and his New Deal in the 1930s and 1940s.

Since then, no one has reined in the unelected progressive administrative state. No has reduced the funding of the unelected progressive administrative state in any meaningful way. No one has launched a successful public announcement/marketing campaign to inform United States citizens how much control unelected bureaucrats have over OUR lives and properties, and how much of OUR money the unelected progressive administrative state wastes, loses, or misuses to make themselves and their crony friends rich.

No one.

For the first time in a century, a sitting President is shining bright spotlights on the mind-bending amounts of corruption, fraud, and waste that run throughout our unelected progressive administrative state. He is pushing the envelop to take as many actions as a President can, to be sure, for an important and good purpose.

And your response is that he shouldn't be doing this because he's a corrupt lying fraud? Maybe he has bad breath, too?

Your comment reminds me of the people who complained to Lincoln that Grant was a reckless, out-of-control drunk. Of course, Grant was also one of the few generals in the Union Army who actually won battles. So, when people complained to Lincoln that Grant was an alcoholic and a drunk, Lincoln responded by suggesting they send barrels of whatever whiskey Grant prefers to the other Union generals!

Progressives over the past CENTURY have made an awful, terrible mess of our government. They have transformed our self-governing republic of limited constitutional powers into something resembling a German-style bureaucratic "staát," or something out of the Soviet Union. Our bureaucracy at all levels of government makes Kremlinologists blush.

There is tremendous, almost unimaginable work to be done in order to dismantle the decades of bureaucratic fascism that progressives have created and expanded, and restore some semblance of political self-government and genuine individual liberty.

There is tremendous, almost unimaginable work to be done in order to incentivize personal independence and responsibility in place of the widespread dependence and irresponsibility we now have after a century of progressivism.

There is tremendous, almost unimaginable work to be done in order to stop the political-bureaucratic class who assume THEY have the rightful authority to decide elections and what our government does or doesn't do, rather than WE THE PEOPLE.

If that work requires "a corrupt lying fraud," I say: bring us more corrupt lying frauds! Send more of Grant's favorite whiskey to the other generals!
