Any guesses which branch of government
controls these bureaucracies?
If you guessed the Executive Branch
(President), then you would be correct.
This is why bureaucracies are so danger
ous to individual liberty yet Rep. Walberg is
defending his funding of them by declaring
that we would have to shut down the gov
ernment.
So what? The last government shutdown
did not do anything important. It was height
ened by the mainstream media in order to
scare a very dependent American society
into submitting to government overreach.
Rep. Walberg said to Mrs. Hall that “The
ones defending your freedom were losing
points.”
Really? Which people who were affected
by the government shutdown were defend
ing our freedom? The only ones who even
come close is the U.S. military, which was
still active through the shutdown. Not only
that, but our military has been used to going
from defending our liberties to assisting
in the overthrow of foreign governments,
which has nothing to do with our liberties.
So what is your point, Rep. Walberg? You
are the one who took an oath to uphold and
defend our Constitution, but now say those
of us who believe in a limited government
are not “living in reality.”
You walked away from KrisAnne as she
confronted your immoral spending.
Is this how you live by your oath?
If so, you should step down. You are not
fit to serve us and you should remember that
we are not here to serve you.
You have absolutely no substance to your
argument, which you demonstrate by not
letting your opponent finish a complete
sentence before cutting her off or walking
away.
Like KrisAnne Hall, I also will not stand
silently as you, or any member of Congress,
act against the Constitution.
If you cannot respect the Constitution
that you are sworn to uphold, how can you
expect the millions of American citizens to
respect the laws you impose upon them?
