Arizona – -(Ammoland.com)- The current aristocracy in America came to power in the 1960’s. It was a major shift in the power elite, away from the military, captains of industry, and religious leaders.
It became heavily concentrated in media elites, educators, bureaucrats and lawyers. It was a deliberate infiltration of institutions and the seizure of power from the people and the states; concentrating it in unelected and unaccountable institutions.
The rise of network TV, the fairness doctrine imposed by the FCC, and the takeover of virtually all national media by doctrinaire “progressives” meant that the “progressive” gatekeepers in the media decided who could be nominated, who could win elections, what issues were important and what were not. The “progressives” decided what candidates were acceptable for the Supreme Court.
The aristocracy had shifted from a limited government with a “military industrial complex” to an unlimited “government/media/bureaucracy” complex. The new grouping held the military in contempt. The core of its ideology disdained Christianity, limited government, “consent of the governed”, honor, truth, and accountability.
Lyndon Johnson passed the Johnson Amendment in 1954, to stop political activity by churches and clergy. The law has always been selectively enforced, and the effect has been to restrain and reduce the power of conservative religious leaders.
The new aristocracy exploited flaws in the existing system to extend and enhance their power. Severe pollution existed. Racism existed. Southern Blacks were denied the vote. New birth control technologies and improved household technologies freed women from their traditional roles as mothers and homemakers.
The shift occurred in a myriad of incremental ways.

Isn’t it interesting that these days when you say “Down with the Man, Power to the People!” everyone knows you’re a Republican who’s voting for Trump??!!
The old media oligopoly on the flow of information has been broken.
Minitrue has failed in its mission and the people are seeing the ugly reality that they have been forced to endure.
I’ll never forgive, politically, all those republicans like bush and others who we all supported for so long then went with hillary. That burns me up to no end.
Indeed. It was a shift away from those with morals and integrity to those with none. It was a shift from responsibility to unaccountability.
What a GREAT and easy way of putting it..!
The American ARISTOCRACY.
Yes, indeed it is.
Very handy insight, that is, thank you!
Good summary of how we got in this mess.
But this isn’t a Peasant Revolution. The peasants are all down on the Democrat plantation with their hands out, palms up, and getting all that free stuff in exchange for their vote.
I can kind of see why people went along with aristocracy in the old days.
The aristocracy claimed they were gods or direct descendants of gods or entitled to rule because their ancestors had ruled.
But Hillary Clinton?
She’s a dirty little snot from Nowhere, Illinois.
And Barack Obama?
Yeah, let’s trace his aristocratic heritage. No Democrat dare look at what hole he crawled out of.
Grifters.....the lot of them.....dirty lying thieving Grifters and Shills.
I see a nationwide shortage of lamp posts and rope coming.
First we try the ballot box and then the ammo box.
Pretty much how it went down.
Trump! Trump! Trump!
I’ll never forgive, politically, all those republicans like bush and others who we all supported for so long then went with hillary. That burns me up to no end.

It is morally wrong to knowingly support anyone who is known to be acting with criminal intent, and therefore the people to whom you refer should no longer have the support of righteous people.
Peasants, by definition, are people who work hard for their living. They are a natural constituency of the Right.
The Democrats major constituencies are mostly people who depend on government charity, government jobs, or government cronyism.
