Why do the American people desire a kinglike president?
The whole process from campaign to election is predicated on what we can get from a president.
Demands for actions that are beyond the authority of the office by the people, promises made to meet these demands by candidates and actions taken to fulfill them. Both feeding off each other and leading to a Congress that unlawfully delegates its authority in order to avoid accountability and responsibility.
The partisanship that has half of the country cheering and half complaining but always accepting because they will have this power when it is their turn.
Liberty and independence take effort and responsibility.
I have said often that when we turn to our government servants for help, they will provide it at the cost of our liberty, of expanding government, increased dependency and higher taxes.
