As explained by Kevin Williamson of the National Review:
...Obama has advanced [overreaching government] without legislative assistance — and, more troubling still, in plain violation of the law. President Obama and his admirers choose to call this “pragmatism,” but what it is is a mild expression of totalitarianism, under which the interests of the country are conflated with those of the president’s administration and his party.
The problems is not simply with President Obama, but it is much larger than that:
The result is a huge bureauocracy that makes its own, unilaterial decisions about what exactly the law will be, how it is to be enforced, and against whom--all outside of Congressional control and so beyond the reach of voters....the United States is not going to fall for a strongman government. Instead of delegating power to a would-be president-for-life, we delegate it to a bureaucracy-without-death. You do not need to install a dictator when you’ve already had a politically supercharged permanent bureaucracy in place for 40 years or more. As is made clear by everything from campaign donations to the IRS jihad, the bureaucracy is the Left, and the Left is the bureaucracy. Elections will be held, politicians will come and go, but if you expand the power of the bureaucracy, you expand the power of the Left, of the managers and minions who share Barack Obama’s view of the world. Barack Obama isn’t the leader of the free world; he’s the front man for the permanent bureaucracy, the smiley-face mask hiding the pitiless yawning maw of total politics.

great article....I wondered when you would have something on this.....
ReplyDeleteI gave a presentation to the Mission Viejo city council last night about an upcoming economic forum I will be conducting with the city's help. You can view the presentation by going to the city's website and viewing videos of the council meeting (Aug. 19th). Fortunately, I was one of the first items on the agenda.
