Government Without Effective Oversight an Invitation to Tyranny

So Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) wants to make the claim that it’s convention for junior staff to write memos to the AG that he’ll never read.

Let’s take him at his word. There’s no way one man can read everything that comes across his desk. And even if he does, he might only skim it.

So what is Whitehouse suggesting? Maybe that government is just do flippin’ big? I doubt he’s suggesting that, but it’s a fair question.

Any government institution that is so big that it cannot be effectively overseen by one man appointed by the president and answerable to the president, Congress, and the American people, is, by definition, to big.

I posit that it is pretty much guaranteed that a government too big to oversee is a government on the path to tyranny.

Spread This Wide and Far

I haven’t even read all of this yet, but given the excerpts at Michelle Malkin’s place, it sounds like a good start. Also be sure to check out the video of Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) being kicked out by Schumer staffers. Such slime in that swamp we call Washington, D.C.

I love that Mike Lee proceeded with the meeting in a location outside of the control of those so corrupt, so evil, that they DO NOT want to hear from constituents.

I’ve heard some fiscal conservatives say that they’d like to see the size of the federal government cut in half. I’d call that building momentum. At about 5% of the current size, I’d say we’re finally winning. And yet, even then I’d say it wasn’t time to quit fighting to reduce it more.

Our baseline budget to start cutting should be ’08.

1908.

Battered Utopia

socialisthellhole, statists

The collectivists of today may not want us to consider that the government of every socialist hellhole in more than the last century has not just seen it necessary to slaughter a goodly portion of the humans inhabiting the land they saw themselves fit to rule over, but actually glorified their obliteration.

Today’s would be rulers want us to think that it’s just small matter of the wrong people being in charge.

So what happens next time the liberty stealing pigs bump up against those of us who only want to be left alone?

My advice? Don’t try to find out.

Your utopia has been beaten to a bloody pulp and left for dead. And we’ll stand guard over its body while it bleeds out the way the Pima County SWAT team stood over its prey, Jose Guerena after riddling his body with government bullets for no good reason.

May the your hopes of a utopian workers’ paradise die a vicious death. It deserves no sentimentalism.
