Don’t you just love being lectured to by liberals? These people are so self-righteous about the virtues of democracy that they’re incapable of recognizing their own hypocrisy. I don’t believe I’ve read an article or an op-ed about the Democratic Party’s complete disregard for “democracy”; yet, there are numerous articles and editorials about Republicans violating the virtues of our institutions simply for exercising their constitutional prerogatives. It has gotten so outrageous some are suggesting Donald Trump is a tyrant in waiting. Here is an excerpt from a New York Times op-ed entitled, Is Donald Trump a Threat to Democracy?
Norms of presidential restraint are
also at risk. The Constitution’s ambiguity regarding the limits of executive
authority can tempt presidents to try and push those limits. Although executive
power has expanded in recent decades, it has ultimately been reined in by the
prudence and self-restraint of our presidents.
Unlike
his predecessors, Mr. Trump is a serial norm-breaker. There are signs that Mr.
Trump seeks to diminish the news media’s traditional role by using Twitter,
video messages and public rallies to circumvent the White House press corps and
communicate directly with voters — taking a page out of the playbook of
populist leaders like Silvio Berlusconi in Italy, Hugo Chávez in Venezuela and
Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Turkey
Barack Obama was prudent and exercised restraint? Is this guy serious? But what am I thinking? The writer of this tripe is a fellow
traveler. Obama thinks nothing about getting on his high
horse spewing the virtues of democracy while issuing executive orders and
employing his minions in the federal bureaucracy churning out mandates and
regulations without the peoples consent.
Is that democratic? Isn’t that
what tyrants do?
The whole progressive movement is an affront to our
so-called democracy. They were the ones
who created this monstrous bureaucracy and then codified it with the 1946
Administrative Procedures Act. Their
whole intent was to circumvent Article I Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution:
All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United
States, which shall consist of a Senate and a House of Representatives.
We are being ruled by unaccountable and unelected
bureaucrats who answer only to a progressive president. Soon, we’ll find out if we have a federal bureaucracy
that answers only to a liberal agenda.
Barack Obama and his fellow democrats have been scheming for this
outcome since he came into office.
I have another
question. Isn’t having federal judges
overturning and writing laws from the bench an attack on democracy? Liberals love using the courts to circumvent
the Constitution, or completely bastardize a law to advance a liberal
agenda. We saw that here in North
Carolina. The people of the Old North
State went to the polls and voted to amend our constitution recognizing only
traditional marriages which consist of one man and one woman. Liberals went to the courts and had our state
constitution rendered unconstitutional.
I guess democracy only works when Democrats give their stamp of
approval.
