March of the Beltway Courtesans

The long train of beltway courtesans waddling and squawking about Donald Trump confirms everything Americans thought about Washington D.C. insiders.  These scoundrels are content with the corruption and the centralization of power as long as they’re members of the cocktail party circuit.

I’m not a fan of Donald Trump by any means, but I sure as hell will not vote for the Clintons.  My God!  Their corruption is legendary.  How can any conscientious American sit by and let those two regain power is beyond me.

How many times have the rank and file been told to suck it up and vote for the likes of a John McCain, Mitt Romney or a Bob Dole?  I despise John McCain, yet I swallowed my pride and voted for Sarah Palin.  Why can’t they do the same thing?

The fact is these people are contemptuous of the Tea Party.  They don’t like plebeian uprisings and that is what Trump’s candidacy is all about.  Trump wasn’t recruited, groomed and brought up through the ranks by party insiders.  He bypassed their cliques and bosses.  And because of that, established cronies are worried they might not have access to power and the public treasury.

So-called conservatives like George Will have left the Republican Party because of Donald Trump.  That’s interesting.  I consider myself a conservative and have never joined the Republican Party because of people like George Will.

George Will is a sanctimonious ass who believes his particular brand of D.C. conservatism is “Madisonian.”  Compromise is how to get things done even if it’s unconstitutional.  That’s why Ronald Reagan didn’t cut the mustard with this beltway courtesan.  Here is an excerpt from Mr. Will’s 1974 Washington Post article on Reagan’s challenge to President Ford in 1976: 

But Reagan is 63 and looks it. His hair is still remarkably free of gray. But around the mouth and neck he looks like an old man. He’s never demonstrated substantial national appeal, his hard core support today consists primarily of the kamikaze conservatives who thought the 1964 Goldwater campaign was jolly fun.   And there’s a reason to doubt that Reagan is well suited to appeal to the electorate that just produced a Democratic landslide. If a Reagan third party would just lead the ‘Nixon was lynched’ crowd away from the Republican Party and into outer darkness where there is a wailing and gnashing of teeth, it might be at worst a mixed course for the Republican Party. It would cost the party some support, but it would make the party seem cleansed. 

Donald Trump is by no means a conservative, but at least he might cleanse the Republican Party of beltway courtesans who whore themselves to a town for a few pieces of silver and a weekly column in the Washington Post.

Hey George Will, This is No Longer Madison's Constitution

Are you ticked off at the ineffectiveness and incompetence of the Republican leadership in Washington D.C.?  Well, if you are, George Will has some advice: Get over it!  According to this beltway courtesan, we should be angry at James Madison for establishing a separation of powers in our Constitution.

I have news for Mr. Beltway: This is no longer James Madison’s constitution.

If James Madison had the ability of time travel, he wouldn’t recognize our form of government.  When he was alive, States had representation in the Senate.  That was until the 17^th Amendment.  Now it’s as populists as the House of Representatives only with a longer term.

In James Madison’s constitution, only Congress was vested with legislative powers and raising revenue.  Today, we have federal bureaucracies passing rules and regulations that have the force of law.  They also originate and collect penalties and fees.  Some agencies have the power to adjudicate their own cases.  I do believe James Madison wasn’t around in 1946 when the Administrative Procedures Act was passed.

In James Madison’s constitution, there are enumerated powers that limited the scope of the federal government.  Now we have the Supreme Court manufacturing rights for special interest groups while striking States’ constitutions for noncompliance.  The 10^th Amendment mattered in James Madison’s constitution.  Today, States are mere vassals bowing and scraping to the all powerful central government thanks to the 14th and 16^th Amendments and establishment of the Federal Reserve.

This is not James Madison’s constitution anymore, Mr. Will.  This is President Woodrow Wilson’s constitution.  Here is what the Progressive Era president had to say about the administrative state:

But where has this science grown up? Surely not on this side of the sea….American writers have hitherto taken no very important part in the advancement of this science. It has found its doctors in Europe. It is not of our making; it is a foreign science, speaking very little of the language of English or American principles….It has been developed by French and German professors.

So Mr. Will, this is not James Madison’s constitution.  What we have is an invasion of the Progressive constitution.

Beltway Courtesans Flip Off "Caveman Caucus"

I'm amused by beltway courtesans rallying around their ideological maypole in defense of the status quo.  So-called conservative pundits are no different than progressives.  They will defend their territory against any and all claim jumpers. 

Fox News’s Special Report all star panel is an example of hubris mingled with contempt for those of us who are advocates for limited government, as defined in our constitution; yet, rarely exercised or heeded.  No, this current government we have is not of our founding.  It is one forged in Europe.  President Woodrow Wilson admitted this much, as summed up by Ronald J. Pestritto in his book, Woodrow Wilson and the Roots of Modern Liberalism:

If bureaucracy, as it administers progress, is to act on behalf of the general interest, what is the role for public opinion? Wilson, after all, seems a consistent advocate of connecting politics much more directly with popular opinion. Yet, his writings on the separation of politics and administration show that public opinion is not to be brought more directly into the realm of administrative decision making. “The problem,” Wilson explained, “is to make public opinion efficient without suffering it to be meddlesome.” Public opinion is a “clumsy nuisance” when it comes to the “oversight of the daily details and in the choice of the daily means of government.” So while public opinion ought to be introduced more directly into politics, politics must confine itself to general superintendence – to the role of setting only the broad goals of the nation. “Let administrative study find the best means for giving public criticism this control and for shutting it out from all other interference,” Wilson wrote.

Is this an American ideal? Even Woodrow Wilson confessed this form of governance is alien and un-American:

But where has this science grown up? Surely not on this side of the sea….American writers have hitherto taken no very important part in the advancement of this science. It has found its doctors in Europe. It is not of our making; it is a foreign science, speaking very little of the language of English or American principles….It has been developed by French and German professors.

So, while we plebeians advance our meddlesome opinions, the administrative state chugs along without concern, for they know establishment republicans will do nothing. And yes, there is a republican establishment. And beltway courtesans like George Will, Charles Krauthammer and Nina Easton will run blocker for our D.C. masters by belittling anyone that dares to protest being governed out of life, liberty, property and the pursuit of happiness.  Because, according to them, we are nothing more than petulant children whose elected representatives is too busy scratching themselves in the “caveman caucus.”

George Will: A Gated Community Organizer

Beltway republicans like George Will really piss me off.  I despise nothing more than a gated community organizer.  What in the hell does this guy know about illegal immigration?  How many illegal aliens does he encounter at work?  Do his children or grandchildren go to underperforming public schools that are infested with illegal alien children who don’t speak English?  I know damn well he’s not standing in line at social services behind Maria and her litter of wailing brats.

Mr. Will believes we can absorb all these eight year olds with teddy bears.  The majority of these invaders are teenagers.  Those who have Care Bears are accompanied by a mother, or picked up by a family member who’s already here.  Does Mr. Will believe these children are here to be adopted by Americans?  Not likely.

Assimilation is difficult when an immigrant lives in a diaspora. It’s even more difficult when their language, culture and traditions are not similar to ours.  It’s near impossible when they don’t want to be Americans.  How many times have we seen Latinos wave the Mexican flag at immigration rallies?  It happens at almost every one of them.

People like Mr. Will love to quote Emma Lazarus.  I’m sure he has to be aware that the United States had quotas for various countries in the early 1900’s.  Some weren’t allowed here at all, particularly the Asians.  Those who did make it here had to meet certain qualifications, or were sent back.  As of now, the United States has no qualifying standards.  We basically have an open border.

The noted scholar Samuel P. Huntington, who is now deceased, warned us about massive immigration from any one country.  In this case he wrote about Mexico, however, I do believe it applies to all of Latin America since these people have a common culture and language.

  As their numbers increase, Mexican-Americans feel increasingly comfortable with their own culture and often contemptuous of American culture.  They demand recognition of their culture and the historic Mexican identity of the American southwest.  They increasingly call attention to and celebrate their Hispanic and Mexican past.  What their growth in numbers has done, according to one 1999 report, “is help ‘Latinize’ many Hispanic people who are finding it easier to affirm their heritage…they find strength in numbers, as younger generations grow up with more ethnic pride and as Latin influence starts permeating fields like entertainment, advertising, and politics.”

We’ve all heard of La Raza and their mythical Aztland.  Well take a look at the map below.  Do you notice what Honduras, Guatemala, and Mexico have in common?
