“We don’t have special rights for anyone. We have equal rights for everybody.” -Tom Allen
Margaret Thatcher once reminded us, “You’d be surprised at what a few dedicated patriots will do to make their country a better place to live in. In fact, they are the only people who try to do so!”
America was not founded but invented by a group of Enlightenment thinkers who studied classical past governments in order to create a perfect union of independent colonies. It was fashioned by a small group of patriots led by Thomas Paine in reaction to abuse from the King of England and demands put upon them by the British army. The United States was the first government formed under the principles of Enlightenment that man could self-govern and correct his imperfect flaws.
You have to have been asleep at the wheel for the last century to understand why those on the left, who have been complaining most about government waste, are now chastising President Donald Trump for creating an agency to cut down on government waste. Instead of welcoming this new found pool of in-house detectives, headed by one of the most efficient businessmen in history, Elon Musk, most everyone on the left is assailing DOGE, The Department of Government Efficiency.
At one time in our history, daily news reporters were hailed as watchdogs of government for the people. Regrettably, those watchdogs turned into lapdogs when they saw the benefit of protecting rather than exposing government corruption. No matter how much people complained, especially on the left about government waste and corruption, nothing has been done to halt worldwide media infection.
