Public Servants Gone Wild
The employees I originally hired to handle certain aspects of my life are out of control. Drunk with the power I have given them, they have decided that they know better than I how to arrange my life. And there's not much I can do.
While I was busy living my life, my employees seem to have put certain rules in place which make it almost impossible for me to fire them. I wasn't aware of most of these new rules. My fault. I had just assumed the media would inform me if they crossed the line. They didn't. Or maybe I just wasn't paying attention.
My employees grandly refer to themselves as public servants, giving one and all the false impression that they are sacrificing everything in order to work on my behalf. Cushy jobs, access to power and money, enjoying unearned respect and complete lack of accountability are just some of the sacrifices they must endure.
Now, my employees are on a massive spending spree with my credit card, piling up charges that I have no way of paying. ($38,000 to date that I'm liable for.) Not only that, but they just got the limit on my credit card increased! I take small solace from the fact that all my neighbors are undergoing a similar experience.
In essence, my employees have become my boss.
My 'public servants' are insisting that I now play by their rules. Somehow they managed to put mechanisms in place (without my knowledge or agreement) that virtually force me to pay my hard earned money to hire more employees, whose sole purpose is to take ever more control and wealth away from me.
When I first hired these guys, I gave them very clear guidelines as to what they could and could not do. (For leftists, its called the Constitution.) I did this so I could be free to focus on building a business, raising a family and utilizing my God given gifts in a way I saw fit.
To that end, I engaged these guys to keep me safe and provide certain essential services, like security, fire, water, utilities and such. At no time did I ever agree to let them decide the rules under which they now operate. In fact, under my original agreement with them, certain things that they are doing now, were expressly denied to them. (Leftist readers, please refer to the Tenth Amendment.)
Just last week, I saw one of my employees on the evening news. He was getting an award. I found out the award was for a donation he made with my money, and adding insult to injury, it was for a cause I actively oppose. When I asked him about it, he sneered down from the moral perch my money bought him and called me, get this, selfish! Aargh...
I don't know what I've done that makes my employees treat me in this disrespectful fashion. After all, I made sure they were very well paid. Hey, I even gave them a better health plan and much more generous pension than I have. I gave them my hard earned money to travel the world in private jets and dine at fine restaurants. On my tab. Meanwhile, I make do with a 7 year-old SUV which, by the way, they're now telling me is immoral for me to drive.
Using my name, my employees have fashioned a brave new world. They claim it is based on what they call our 'living constitution,' which means whatever they want it to mean. (For leftists, that means it means nothing.) It allows them to purchase morality, virtue and media accolades by appropriating and spending someone else's money.
It allows them to use my money in furtherance of a ludicrous and illogical quest to remake reality to their specifications. It allows them to redefine words, change rules, ignore tradition, and totally restructure our whole system of governance. Without my permission.
With 20/20 hindsight, I now understand some lessons from history I was never taught in government schools: When you endow someone with unearned wealth, it will soon become their 'right.' When you appease tyrants, you only get more tyranny. And the only power tyrants have is that relinquished by their victims.
And finally, that voting for power-hungry and amoral charlatans based on spin instead of substance means we all have a very good chance of losing the liberty and freedoms so many Americans fought and died for. Happy New Year.

Get this, MY employees tell me that I can't have the same basic civil rights,liberties and freedoms that they do!! My employees can openly discriminate against me in the workplace and housing.My employees can pass hateful and mean bills to keep me from marrying and even adopting children!! Isn't that crazy?

Your'e right Nancy - as soon as we adopt socialism we will be better off economically and more secure in our freedoms. If you are truly concerned about our loss of liberty donate to the IndictBushNow.org movement. The IndictBushNow movement is a campaign to oppose domestic spying, mass surveillance and data collection on the people of the United States.
Oh, and get rid of that SUV.

excellent writing Nancy. No real facts and a very bad memory but well written.

Absolutely true Nancy, change the date to oh, say 7 years ago, and it could have been written by 'libs' complaining about Bush's subversion of the constitution and the engagement of two illegal ( via the Geneva Convention ) wars. Except your SUV would be newer. :-)

Ms Morgan;
I believe you have overlooked a small detail. We are all partners in this corporation. At this point in time I believe you are a minority partner, it seems we had an election last year and changed the makeup of the board of directors as is our perogative every two and four years.
One thing I don't understand is why one division of our board finds a two thirds majority necessary to enact our wishes. That is nowhere to be found in our bylaws.
You cited one amendendment, however there are several articles in the bylaws which may cover what you are speaking to, Mainly article 1 section 8 the commerce and general welfare clause, so there maybe some disagreement and I feel that the corporations Supreme Arbitors may have to end up making that discision.

Sounds a lot like the political machinations of this country. It doesn't matter who you voted for, they don't "govern" this country anyway. Just sit back and relax. The Council on Foreign Relations and The Trilateral Commission have taken care of everything. They know better what's for us than those we have "elected" to save us from ourselves as they have their people in all the right places. The judicial, legislative and executive branches of our government are now under their watchful eye. We now return you to our regularly scheduled programming...

I think it's OCND in disguise Maria . . . didn't OCND post this ramble in one of her inimitable anti Obama blogs a while back? It's been bandied about on the net. "Hellooooooooooooooooo" Morgan seems to feel the need to slap us in the face with her "intelligencia" (sic.) here, there, and everywhere. At least OCND keeps her rants to her blogs. Perhaps they are best friends? Goodness knows they are singing from the same hymn sheet.
Yawn . . . as though it's ALL our current President's fault after one measly year in office, grappling with the rape and pillage of the former administrations, coming to a head in 1980 with the advent of Nancy Reagan's Astrologers, expensive china place settings and French haute couture cloths. America - this mess started a long (long) time ago.
