Big government must die because it's killing us

​It bears pointing out that this crisis has revealed how incapable BIG government is of "saving us." China's totalitarian government couldn't save them from a loss of life in the thousands, and still growing. It could not prevent the massive economic destruction inflicted by Covid-19 on the fragile communist economy. In America, the measures that have been taken by President Trump have been geared at relieving the people of government's burden, so as to mitigate the impact and spread of the disease. After decades of taxes, our government was shown to be ill-equipped to handle testing, that many concede would have been a valuable tool in stopping the spread of the Coronavirus. The president didn't institute new guidelines. They were in place for years! Where did all of our money go?
 
If big government worked, explain Obama’s lack of ability to address the Deep-Water Horizon oil spill. If our money, funding bloated and unaccountable government is the solution to all of our ills, explain how our vaunted leviathan contaminated a river in Colorado. If all we need do is to trust our leaders with all of our money, explain the “Green Energy Boondoggle,” foisted upon us by our benevolent overseers.
 
The government has been shown to be too big to be managed by the "lifers" who have made a career of government. Some of those "professional" politicians now blame a president who was responsible for none of these BIG GOVERNMENT regulations and who has only taken over this government three short years ago.
 
Now, store shelves lay empty. Americans are afraid. And a pandemic threatens to infect millions in this country. IT TOOK ONE WEEK FOR THIS VIRUS TO PROVIDE ALL AMERICANS WITH THIS REVELATION, "BIG, EXPENSIVE AND UNACCOUNTABLE GOVERNMENT CAN'T SAVE YOU." For those who say high taxes and government control is the answer, you have been proven wrong by Covid-19. And those of us who know that a government that govern's least, governs best, have been shown to be right. Government should empower the private sector to have more resources. Government should get out of the way and allow we the people to take care of our families, communities and country. President Trump showed the wisdom and power of such policies by getting the private sector, often maligned by the Socialist elements in our society, on to the front lines in making up for government's fumble on test kits. We should vote for individuals who who seek "facilitate freedom" rather than "push punishing pillaging," through ever-increasing taxation of the people's pocket book.
 
This government is too big and spends too much of our money. And when it all hits the fan, we're told, "now isn't the time to assign blame." Those voices could be right. Getting through the crisis is step one. But step two is most certainly a ruling by we the people that our government has grown to large to be given proper oversight by the 535 individuals we elect to do just that. Many of these life-long-leeches of government money, we call politicians, claim that they couldn't come close to overseeing every dollar of spending. Even if they spent 24/7, 365, it wouldn't be enough to provide the accountability that America needs and deserves. They are, again, correct. Given those truths there is on one course. It is then incumbent on REAL leaders to shrink down the size of government so it CAN BE MANAGED by our president and those who take a $174,000 a year paycheck, courtesy of the taxpayer to do the job of oversight.
 
The era of big government MUST come to an end. If not for this crisis, but for the next. As the Coronavirus has shown, our very lives depend on it.

With Republican Help, Feinstein Gets Another BIG Catholic Scalp: Judge Brett Kavanaugh

​Americans watched in horror as leaked, uncorroborated and baseless accusations of sexual misconduct from high school accusations, that should have been addressed privately, were aired in full view of the American public.
As a result, the lives of both accused—Judge Brett Kavanaugh, and accuser—Christine Blasey Ford, have been destroyed.
What would allow anyone with a conscience to undertake such a scorched earth policy? The answer is obvious when considering the Democrat’s growing and merciless religious bigotry.
Emboldened by an increasingly feckless, timid and directionless GOP establishment, the Democrats have escalated their attacks on people of faith in America in recent decades, and never once paying a price.
After all, who can forget the prejudice grilling dealt to Catholics throughout the years, as they sought to serve their nation in the Judiciary?
William Pryor’s nomination to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, 15 years ago,  saw Senators Durbin, Schumer and Feinstein questioning America’s, “Christian perspective;” a quote from the judge. They used this as a predicate for disqualification. 
Then, in 2005, when John Roberts was up for consideration for Chief Justice, Feinstein sought to impose her old and tired religious test on yet another Catholic. She asked Roberts if he’d address national issues, “out of adherence to the dictates of one's [his] religion.”
When two women, law professor Amy Coney Barrett and Joan Larsen, were tapped by President Trump to fill two appellate court positions, both Senators Durbin and Feinstein sneered at the Christian faith both of the nominees. At one point during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, Feinstein even made an observation about Barret’s Catholic faith, saying, “The dogma lives loudly within you, and that’s of concern.”
In each one of these cases, we see a common denominator: Catholic contempt from the Senior Senator from California.
Now, Brett Kavanaugh finds himself the latest victim of the Democrats’ attack on America’s Judeo-Christian ethic, and on Catholics in particular—as meritless accusations of sexual misconduct, that should have remained confidential, have magically found their way to the press.
Given Senator Feinstein’s well-established track record of religious bigotry, it doesn’t take much imagination to figure out how that happened.
But instead of punishing or pushing back on this direct attack on our precious First Amendment guarantees, the GOP, in the person of soon-to-be former Senator Jeff Flake, is busy tripping all over himself to give the Democrats a victory they desperately seek: an end of the Kavanaugh nomination to the High Court. Meanwhile, the lives of women, children and highly qualified Judge Kavanaugh have been decimated.
The Democrats and their GOP enablers have tainted the United States forever. Americans now realize that if they are of good standing, desiring to serve and Catholic, Democrats will exact the heaviest of prices, if such people dare to throw their hat in the ring.
 It’s no longer enough for liberals, that they put up a sign reading, “Catholics need not apply.” They want you to know they’ll forever ruin and lay waste to your life for daring to oppose their anti-American ideology. After all, what’s more un-American than the Democrat’s, “guilty until proven innocent,” standard they’ve used to smear Kavanaugh?
If only Americans could turn to leaders willing to oppose the disintegration of our once proud society. Sadly, they appear not to exist.

A society's worth isn't measured by how much power is seized by its government but rather, how much power is reserved for its people.
