As I consider the frustrations regarding our government today, the daunting obstacles to restoring the American individual's voice keep surfacing in my mind. These obstacles are what have come to be like major parts of a snake, a silent tyrant, each of the parts of this tyrant are dependent on one another as they slither their way around our Democratic Republic- constricting and rendering the ordinary citizens powerless. The parts of this snake are as follows;
Number
one- Of all the parts, this is most logically described as the "head" of the snake. The Federal Agencies who hold centralized power without being elected.
This is very much to the advantage of Democrats because they are in favor of more
government control. Federal agencies are, well, them! Government control is their modus operandi. This explains why DC is 95% Democrat.
Number
two- The Lobbyists who use money to
direct the nation’s law to their own specific need. This is the biggest advantage to corporations
who often require laws to do a lot of what they do at the expense of free competition
in the marketplace. It is "freedom to petition the government" on steroids. In their defense though, the government allows it and takes advantage of the relationship in many different ways. I don't see how it benefits the people though. To petition the government should be from individual citizens or private groups not corporations and political action committees.
Number
three- The Elections, which require enormous amounts of money to render any
candidate capable of being elected. This naturally encourages the parties to
throw enormous amounts of money towards the individual they think can win the
election, never mind if they are or are not qualified.
The end result is a candidate that the party wants but not necessarily one
that is good for the country. That aspect
is of very little concern, especially to the Democrats because their “reason
for being” is it to subjugate the individual anyway. Why would they care what the
American people actually want or need?
Number
four- The political parties being the critical aspect of elections render two
camps of thought in government – one always ruling over the other according to
which party won. This results in elected
officials being in a position of tyranny in that the rights of the other side
are ignored or subjugated. Elected officials are supposed to be leading us
all, not just those that agree with them, aren’t they? This is much more terrifying under the Democrats because their willingness and glee to silence the individual is much easier with federal agencies and an army supporting them.
Number five - The media and their tendency towards the left. Why? The virtue signaling of journalists is irresistible. Also, the money is very good if you're at the top of the media pecking order. In their mind they're saving the poor pathetic victims from the big bad rich people even though they are often the rich ones being discussed. Of course, there are many different versions of this "we're the saviors" ideal, but you get the point. They get to play "superman" for their audience no matter how untrue that might be. Conservatives are becoming more alert to the situation, though. Cable TV has Fox News and Newsmax, which are both conservative. Online X, podcasts and other online news sources tend to be more moderate and/or conservative. Newspapers? They are becoming relegated to the ash heap of history because they’re nearly 100% to the left. Most major newspapers such as the NYT and the Washington Post are so biased as to be laughable. I only read the newspaper to get the jest of the liberal opinions on whatever topic is running through society this week. For the media, the money and the need to feel virtuous is a lifelong addiction for the collective. They are emotional parasites. The Democrats still rule in this category although their power is waning.
Number
six - The court system ruling on matters of crime and punishment where the judge
takes it upon himself to divvy up justice or lack of justice according to his
or her emotions and his or her perception of social justice and inequality
rather than the rule of law. They often favor the parasites over people who actually
accomplish things and work hard. Guess
which party tends to rule in favor of social justice and sees the criminal as a
victim and the victim as a villain? The court system is the Democrat’s tool for
enacting laws that the Republicans do not want by having a court rule something as a "law" such as was the case with the legalization of abortion. No election required. In addition, by not enforcing laws that Republicans support, they still get their way whether they were elected or not. It’s also a wonderful source for the Democrats to feel virtuous for their “liberal”
leanings- a lifelong addiction as mentioned above. They get their way, one way or another. It is the truest form of dictatorship in that it seeks to control justice in order for the dictator to feel better.
Number seven- Academia and its tendency towards the left – partly due to its dependency on a generous government and partly due to its allegiance to all thing's science – usually pitting “serious” matters to science and spiritual matters to being of no importance. (Ironically most higher levels of education such as Harvard were begun as a type of seminary for studying God and His influence on science, not "Science as the God" where it lays today.) Academia is enshrined as the government’s lifelong lapdog because it is a fountainhead of cash and they are unlikely to disagree with anything the government dictates (by that I mean agencies not the elected officials). One very convenient example is global warming or climate change. This is a tool for more government control. So, for example, if you’re studying climate change you will find out quickly there is no money to test IF “climate change” is real but there’s plenty of money to prove it IS real and better yet, to elaborate on how the calamity is hovering over all of us unless we obey their latest edict.
