Pretty Neat Trick

Whenever a new presidential administration comes into power.

Within the first year they are immediately confronted with some sort of a major problem.

If you go back into history, say to 1901 you will see these major problems pop up.

The solution proposed by the advisors to the current president is to increase the power of the executive branch.

More agencies, more bureaucracies, more executive orders.

Say wasn’t EPA, Department of Energy and FEMA created with a stroke of the pen????

You know, increase the size, cost, and extend the reach and power of the government.

When have you seen a new presidential administration cut back on the powers from the previous administration????

The new administration has inherited the powers that the former administration gave itself

The former administration inherited the powers that the administration before it gave itself.

They take the power that they acquired and add to it so that the next administration is even more powerful.

Truman took the powers that Roosevelt gave to himself and added to it.

Eisenhower took the powers that Truman inherited and added to it.

Kennedy took the powers that Eisenhower had and added to it.

Johnson took the powers that Kennedy had and added to it.

Nixon took the powers that Johnson had and added to it.

Ford took the powers that Nixon had and added to it.

Carter took the powers that Ford had and added to it.

Reagan took the powers that Carter had and added to it.

Bush took the powers that Regan had and added to it.

Clinton took the powers that Bush had and added to it.

Bush Jr. took the powers that Clinton had and added to it.

Obama took the powers that Bush had and added to it.

Can you imagine what the next occupant of the White House will do?

Ain’t that interesting?????

That’s a “Pretty Neat Trick.”

You keep building up the Executive Branch of our government.

More power, more power and soon (I think we have passed that point)

We will have a dictatorship.

Get the idea around.

You may help save these United States.

Blowing Hot Air:

It’s time to determine who is for real and who in the political landscape is blowing hot air.

Let’s take a Congressman. He is from a very conservative district. His constituents are for less government, pro-life and most definitely pro-second amendment.

The congressman goes to Washington DC. He is asked to vote on an abortion bill.

He said he would vote no and votes no on that bill.

The bill passes.


The next bill that he is asked to vote on is gun control.

He said he opposes gun control and votes no on that bill.

It passes.

The Congressman in question goes home and tells his constituents that if only we had a few more “conservatives” like him in office we could have stopped those bills from being passed.

What said Congressman neglects to tell his sheep is that both of those bills need to be funded. Both bills become part of the Federal Budget. He votes for the Federal Budget.

That means that he voted to fund what he said he was against, abortion and gun control.

Nice trick.

If this bill is passed will it increase the Size, Cost, extend the Reach or Power of the government? If the bill does any of those things will he will vote no on that bill for those reasons.

I will!

Thought you ought to know.

Well what are we living under?

The Bill of Rights restrains government and keeps it out of our lives.

The Communist Manifesto lets government lose to run our lives.

Which one do you wish to live under?

I for one choose liberty and the Bill of Rights.

Thought you ought to know.
