The New Despotism of Bureaucracy
While the era of big government rages back, the tyranny of administration is just getting under way.

The objective of the American Founding was to break free of the old despotism, characterized by the arbitrary will of the stronger, based on force and fraud, masked by the false claims of long inheritance or divine right. Virtually every government at the time was based on a claim to rule without popular consent.
The Founders’ object was to establish the rule of law, decentralize political authority, and limit government to secure the unalienable rights with which man was endowed by “the Laws of Nature and Nature’s God.” They held that man, though fallible and full of passions, is capable of governing himself and that none was so much better than another as to rule him without his consent.
And yet here we are today, covered by a vast web of rules and regulations, endless policies and programs, all emanating from a central government, mostly the work of agencies and bureaucracies that for all intents and purposes operate outside the consent of the governed.

Bernie Reeves on the Tea Party Movement
Posted by Tyler T on Apr 21, 2010 in Local
Hi Gang,
Want to know what Bernie Reeves, GOP candidate for the 13th district thinks about the Tea Party.
“…I asked Reeves what he makes of the Tea Party movement. He told me he considers the other three candidates to be more closely aligned with that strain of conservative politics.
The Tea Party movement, he told me, “personifies the feelings of people who aren’t really political people. It’s more anger than calm dialogue. They never get into this abstruse theory. I think their assumptions about what they think America is has been undermined.”
Reeves acknowledged that he’s not altogether comfortable with the movement. “The dogmatism is difficult to take,” he said. ”
Here’s the full article: http://yesweeklyblog.blogspot.com/2010/04/candidate-profile-bernie-reeves.html
From this article is seems like Bernie thinks he can buy the primary without ever “getting his hands dirty”.
