I want everyone to know straight up that everything that Elon Musk and his crew are finding as part of DOGE are the result of years of both political parties exploiting the goodwill of the public and fleecing the American tax payer.
As the libertarian in your life, I say that government is an equal opportunity oppressor and that the bigger the government is, the more abuse it can heap on the governed.
The abusers are not limited to whoever is currently ruling the roost and it certainly isn’t limited to the specific political ideology of the American masses.
If you’re a citizen, you can safely consider yourself food for the beast that government is.
I say all of this upfront because this column is specifically aimed at those that are angry with DOGE and are hell bent on defending the beast and all its excesses.
To be blunt, if you are a defender of the state, you’re part of the problem and if you’re playing defense for the corruption that DOGE is uncovering, you are an enemy to liberty and a danger to yourself and others seeking it.
If you witness someone, whether they’re a part of the Washington swamp or your local political swamp, going out of their way to defend government excess, you know you’re dealing with an enemy of liberty.
As such, this column is going to primarily take aim at the Democratic Party and all of its supporters since they are the loudest defenders of the state and DOGE’s harshest critics.
It’s an ironic position for democrats to take, seeing as they have consistently made the claim that everything about the American system is beyond repair and must be torn down for the sake of the downtrodden that are oppressed by it.
In a claim that has always been ridiculous, Democrats have argued that electing them is the only way that disadvantage groups will be treated fairly. Their core political contention has been that they will take charge of out wicked system, reform it, and make it work for the historically disadvantaged.
And yet, with decades of Democratic rule, no Democrat since Clinton has even attempted to clean house.
How many times have you heard prominent Democrats, even those in your local towns and orbits, proclaim that the entire American system is inherently oppressive, white supremacist, and effectively beyond repair?
It wasn’t that long ago that race hustlers and Democrats, though I repeat myself, were arguing that the government ultimately must be torn down for this very reason.
And now, many of those same voices are railing against orchestrating its dismantling.
Now, the argument is that Nazis and white supremacists, such as our president and Musk, are destroying the very same rotten system for bigoted purposes in order to hurt American citizens and Third World people abroad.
So what are we supposed to make of this?
Has the system always been evil, white supremacist, corrupt and beyond reform?
Has it never done anything good for anybody except the oppress immigrants, harm LGBTQIA+ people and keep Blacks beaten down?
Or has DOGE revealed that our evil government has been unjustly maligned and has been helping minorities and brown people abroad for many years and needs to be defended from nefarious actors?
These ideas cannot logically coexist.
Something stinks, and isn’t just all of that government refuse that Musk and the whiz kids have found.
My message is even stronger to the local community right here in Washington County.
When democrats come into your churches, your meetings and your places of recreation, talking about all of the evils that Trump and Musk are doing to our system, ask them what system they mean.
Because if these modern day woke revolutionaries mean the American government, then they must mean the system that has always been white supremacist, wicked and beyond repair.
It’s a fair question to ask.
This is an especially important query for the race hustlers in our orbits.
If the American government is so bad and so corrupt, why do you care if a president and a radical new movement are dismantling it bit by bit?
If anything, race hustlers, malcontents, and radical political activists, ought to be happy that such a system is being chopped up, and that many of the wealthy billionaire bureaucrats that have been exploiting it are finally getting their comeuppance.
But you’re not seeing that sort of celebration from Democrats and race grifters because they’ve been in on the scheme and have always participated in the waste, fraud and abuse DOGE is uncovering.
Democrats have never been serious about their claims that America is inherently evil and have lived on exaggerated claims that enacting things like DEI initiatives, racial quotas, special spaces for homosexuals and any other oppressed groups are necessary in order to make things more fair and equal.
For as long as Democrats have ruled the political roost, none of their so-called compassionate governance has been extended towards helping citizens keep more of their money. The party of compassion and appreciation for the “other” has no respect for the same citizens that foolishly believe in their compassionate façade and vote for them without getting anything in return.
Consider that Democrats have consistently kept racism and bigotry in front of my black community and dangled the carrot of racial reckonings and reparations in order to ensure that black people keep voting for them.
At the same time, they consistently take black votes for granted while stealing black money through excessive taxation and spending it overseas on things that black people have never consented to or even privy to.
Just consider that those are the people, this is the party, that is the angriest about what DOGE is doing.
As I said at the outset, government waste is not just the fault of the single political party. The Washington swamp is filled with its share of power-hungry, dishonest RINOs who cannot be trusted to do what conservatives put them in office for.
However, it is telling that the people that are the most upset by what is happening are Democrats, the party who has made the feelings, dignity and emotional well being of Americans the core of their party platform.
That Democrats and social activists are among the loudest opponents of shrinking government and eliminating fraud, is a telltale sign that they’ve never been who they say they are and voters ought not forget it.
