‘..A government which discounts the people is an aristocracy not less than that of King George, no matter how well-intentioned or enlightened it imagines itself to be. Unconstrained governance is irresistible, it’s the power of royalty, the power to coerce without consequence. Even elected officials are less concerned with elections than one would suppose, with auto-funding and redistricting the turnover in Congress is less than it was in the old Soviet Union. Deceiving and manipulating the populace has a cumulative price for the nation however, it disconnects the governed from the government until at last DC becomes sufficiently remote from the people for it to represent only itself. When this point is reached American self-rule can rightly be said to have failed, We the People will have become We the Government…’ HERE
“it disconnects the governed from the government until at last DC becomes sufficiently remote from the people for it to represent only itself”
The same can be said for every Capital in the Western World. Canberra, Wellington, London. All consist of a permanent political class deserving of nothing more than a short rope and a long drop.
“All consist of a permanent political class deserving of nothing more than a short rope and a long drop.’
AMEN! to that.
I just finished listening to the podcast of the Mark Levin show from today. At the end of the show, The Great One was wondering where in the world he might find liberty, and suggested a number of people have recommended he look for her in New Zealand. I just left the following comment on his FaceBook wall:
:popcorn :whoop

Spot-on. Why anybody would think liberty is to be found in NZ (and lately, Australia) beats me.
Well, he can’t say I didn’t warn him. Although, I kinda like the idea of Levin dumped n the middle of Auckland, or Wellington. Like that movie … ‘Dirty Harry Goes to Woodstock’
