Exceeding Arrogance – Washington’s Rarified Air
If you want to make your head explode – read EJ Dionne’s column. He clearly is the smartest man on earth – NOT. He KNOWS exactly what the Founders were thinking 200+ years ago and he also KNOWS exactly what I am thinking – I am a 9-12/Tea Party member. He KNOWS NOTHING! But his arrogance is astounding! His thinking is clearly affected by the oxygen-depleted rarified air of the Beltway. So sad – not to be taken serious on any matter but rather to be pitied. He is typical of those whose desire is to rule, not govern. It is nothing new and it is still found in both political parties. There were those who came to this new country over 200 years ago that wanted to bring with them the tired, old, failing policies that inspired so many others to leave the “old.” We threw off the “old” to bring something “new.” Dionne’s claim that because “taxes” were listed number 17 on the list of grievances against the Monarch prove that it wasn’t that important is laughable – and yet, he wants us to take him serious. The position of 9-12/Tea party membership is very simple and straightforward – we desire a government that is functional and reasonable. How do we define functional and reasonable – read the Constitution. It doesn’t require a Harvard law degree to understand that the Founders wanted first and foremost, freedom. And they knew that to enjoy real freedom a government was necessary to ensure that freedom. But they also knew based on their own lives’ experience that the very same government could become oppressive. So they were very specific in the crafting of the Constitution to limit the scope, power, and therefore the cost of the Federal government. There’s nothing mystical or magical about that. What Mr. Dionne hopes to do is to re-write history – not in my time or on my watch. If you’re so infatuated with bloated, costly, burdensome federal government Mr Dionne, there are plenty to be found in the “old country.” This Country affords you the freedom to LEAVE! Don’t let the door hit-cha! Signed, 20-year Marine Vet who served so Mr. Dionne could say really unintelligent stuff.
