As the shutdown heads into its
fourth week, the nation is getting used to the radical idea that we can
actually do without the fleets of bureaucrats who, in the immortal words
of the Declaration of Independence, have been "sent hither to harass
our people and eat out their substance." For decades, as the federal
leviathan has grown ever larger, and poked its voracious snout into all
manners of unconstitutional fodder, the people of the United States have
largely sat idly by, hoping to catch some of the droppings from the
creature's maw in the belief that it will not eat them too as it forages
merrily along.
To be sure,
the furloughed public servants are merely suffering delayed paychecks
thanks to the Democrats' refusal to accept the results of the 2016
election, and while the public has not been as deliberately
inconvenienced as it was during the dog-in-the-manger Obama shutdown,
its effects are nevertheless being felt at such points of intersection
as the national parks. Still, life has gone on otherwise pretty much as
before -- and the longer the shutdown rolls on, the more easily the way we were can be forgotten.
So
the longer Donald Trump wrangles with his two superannuated cartoon
antagonists, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, the stronger the
president's position becomes. This despite the Democrat Media's
insistence that the shutdown is a terrible thing, costing the lives of
(as usual) untold women, children, and minorities. Indeed, the New York Times, in
an attempt to be helpful, even went so far as to illustrate "What the
Shutdown Would Look Like if It Happened in Other Industries."........https://pjmedia.com/michaelwalsh/prizzis-honor-seed-of-chucky/
