Thomas Jefferson spoke of the parasitic nature of government, in his time he wanted to rid the government of this bane on its ability to function. As we look at the government we have today, it is full of parasites. People in the House and Senate who have been there for most of their adult lives, and feel that they are entitled to stay until they can no longer function. Anyone who changes that, or who has the audacity to want to move them out of their position of power will be attacked with a vengeance.
Not only those in the House and Senate, but we also have a Bureaucracy that is loaded with parasites feeding off the backs of hard working Americans. President Trump refers to it as the swamp and wants to drain it and cast out the parasites. They are fighting with every ounce of their collective hatred to destroy this administration, to rid themselves of that which threatens their ability to run the government as they see fit.
This bureaucracy, has supplanted the politicians and is the actual engine that runs the government of the United States. These are the rule makers, they are the law makers and they make sure that any laws are to their benefit. When I worked in the District of Washington in the Army, I found out just how had it is to move a bad apple out of their position. They have made it almost impossible to fire them, even when they don’t bother to even show up for work, or refuse to do that task that is required, you can only transfer them to another office where they will continue to get paid to do nothing.
These are also the ones who are leaking information, even if it is false information, just to destroy the President and his administration. I do hope that this President and his administration will be able to drain the swamp that is the government of this nation, to include those in the House and Senate who are working to obstruct anything and everything the President wants to accomplish.
For those of you who also want to drain the swamp, I would suggest that you learn all you can about those who are running for office in your state, vote out those who are incumbents if they are trying to obstruct that which you know is to your benefit and that this President is trying to accomplish. The Democrats in the House and Senate want to keep Obamacare as the law of the land. They want Judges who will make law from the bench not interpret and enforce the Constitution and laws of this land. They are working very hard to destroy any work that this President wants to accomplish. Find people who want to uphold the Constitution in your State, and put them in office. Do not allow the hatred of the Democrats and some Republicans to blind you to your duty as American Citizens. Learn and then vote, look at what these politicians say, and then study what they do. If what they do is what they said they would do and you agree with it, then you know where your vote should go, it not then you also know where your vote should go.
Next year 2018, you will have a chance to change the direction of this nation, all of the House of Representatives are up for election, and many of the Senators are also up for election. Please, learn and then vote, do not just vote blindly for either Republican or Democrat. If there is a third party candidate and you agree with that person more than the major parties candidates, vote for that person, even if that one does not win, if enough votes are cast for the third party candidate, it will force the two main party candidates to rethink the direction they want to take the country.
