The simple fact of the matter is that the nuts and bolts of government, the moving parts, the decisions large and small that really have a great deal to say about our lives on a daily basis, are completely in Democrat hands; Left-Hands at that. The Communists call it the "Nomenklatura," That is all the official, titled posts of government machinery. One may safely add to that academia and the media.
Culture War.
...is a fool.
“Today, the federal bureaucracy actually runs Congress, not the other way round. Bureaucrats write the bills that the elected representatives never read, but dutifully sign.”
On target, Kenny Bunk. I saw that on the local level when I worked in village government. Do you know how we solved that problem? We elected a pro-2nd Amendment, Constitutional sheriff.
He used his police powers to investigate rat bureaucrats. About a half-dozen were convicted of embezzlement and sent to state prison. Many more were brought up on charges of violating the state’s Open Meetings Law and personally fined. Others resigned and got out of Dodge before the sheriff’s posse arrived.
We have tools to rid ourselves of fascist bureaucrats if people get on the ball and start cleaning out their neighborhoods. If you need to clean house, always start with the one closest to you.
It won’t. Most of what makes the fed gov awful is built into the base system at this point. Things really don’t change much from one congress to the next, or one president to the next. The momentum of patheticness just keeps on trucking.
That is, that this Democrat Party Bureaucratic Hegemony extends into state and local government. We FReepers tend to think rather globally, when those of us who are able should be working on the village level!
If we are to avoid eventual Banana Republic existence, with revolutions, coups, counter-coups and endless Civil War, the reforms, IMNVHO, must be 'bottom-up' not t'otherway round. That's why the most interesting idea around is Constitutional Convention called by the States.
What you said in your first post is critical, and people need to understand that:
“Washington DC cannot change. No matter who is in the WH, or which “party” runs Congress.”
The permanent ruling class is the entrenched bureaucracy. No matter which party is elected, the unelected, unaccountable bureaucracy continues to illegally write laws. For the country to regain its freedom, the fascist bureaucracy must be ripped out by the roots and destroyed.
We are in a tyrannical situation where these unelected bureaucrats write laws. Only Congress may write laws, yet Congress refuses to stop the unconstitutional act of unaccountable bureaucrats writing law. I’ll add that one of the primary features of a dictatorship - communist or fascist- is bureaucrats writing law.
Either we need to elect congresscritters who will stop the entrenched fascist bureaucracy, or we need to make war on these fat, unelected bureaucrats, locally and through the states.
Good post, Kenny Bunk. Your insight is valuable.
