Over the years we the people have created a powerful and dangerous beast of gigantic proportions in Washington, DC. This beast has become a threat to the very principles upon which this country was founded, namely Property, Freedom and Peace.
We the people attempt to control this beast by building a cage around it, by using the puny tools of the Judiciary branch against the overgrown powers and resources of the combined Executive and Legislative branches. Small judicial victories against the Executive/Legislative beast are hard to come by and may soon be impossible altogether when activist justices who legislate from the bench dominate the Supreme Court.
The sad part is we the people have enabled all of this by our willingness to sell our votes to politicians who promise
to reward us with benefits funded by taxes extorted from our neighbors.
Assuming voting still matters, it's time we cast our votes for ANYONE on the ballot who promises to cut the Washington, DC beast down to size, who promises to return Leviathan's ill-gotten power and resources to their rightful owners: We the People.
Yes, I know promises can be broken. But a promise to downsize the federal Leviathan is better than a promise to keep spending more and more and more....
Sadly, Javier Milei, the libertarian President of Argentina, is not running for President of the United States. However, both Donald Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. have promised to drain the Washington, DC swamp, not with the fervor shown above by Milei, but a promise is a promise.
Both Trump and Kennedy are electable if enough of us decide enough is enough. Pick one. Vote for him. And once your Milei wannabe gets to Washington, hold his feet to the fire and demand he keep his promise.
Our property, freedom and peace -- our lives -- depend upon it.
