Can We Quit Calling Them and Thinking of Them as “Our Leaders”?

I was listening to a clip from the Tucker Carlson Tonight show, and one thing really drove me crazy. Tucker kept referring to those in congress and the president as “our leaders”. Now, you might say we have always referred to them that way. Well, perhaps, but it seems there is something a lot more nefarious going on these days.

To say someone leads you infers that they somehow direct you. Our country was never suppose to have elected representatives, a president and certainly not a permanent bureaucracy that commands how we live, act, what products to buy, or what vaccines we are required to take. However, we have seen that change over the course of the COVID crisis, and that portends an entirely different future for our republic.

Not only have those elected officials and unelected bureaucrats infringed on our constitutional rights, but they are no longer even hiding their true agenda: a movement towards an authoritarian type state that they control. Over the past 50 years, we have witnessed a continued infringement by government and bureaucrats into our daily lives. They promise a perfect society praying on those at the lower end of the income scale. They have fractured society into groups in order to collect them into voting blocks in their attempts to control government and our lives.

Can anyone think of anything positive this cabal of government, media and business has produced? I can’t, but I can certainly name things they have destroyed. This would include:

  • Destruction of the value of our currency;
  • Erosion of the family unit;
  • Destruction in the trust in our institutions;
  • Offshoring of our manufacturing base;
  • Allowed for a huge influx of illegal aliens into the country;
  • Destroyed the federal budget process;
  • Made us reliant on other countries for key materials and food;

I could go on and on, but that wouldn’t do anything for us. However, what we can do is to begin holding them accountable for the results of their policies. The first is to begin ridiculing them (Alinsky’s rule) and calling them what they are: LOSERS.
