It is idiotic that we have people, who still get elected, who want to stick the Federal Bureaucracy--completely contrary to the written Constitution--into one on one situations (teacher/student or physician/patient), at an enormous waste of resources.

Look....here...is where what we deal with everyday ..today started....this stuff all started 100 years ago in 1912 with Teddy Roosevelt....and the Progressive (Bull Moose) Party
The Committee of 48 traces its roots to January 1919, when a gathering of individuals interested in public affairs gathered in New York City. Those so assembled decided that a formal organization should be sponsored and decided to issue a call for a National Conference. The name “Committee of 48” was chosen as a reflection of the desire to form a national organization bringing together interested representatives of each of the nation’s 48 states.
“La Follette’s Progressive Party, founded in 1924, was the out-growth of the progressive activism of the Committee of Forty-Eight, a political action group formed in 1919, and the Conference for Progressive Political Action. The new Progressive Party was a coalition of organized labor, farm groups, Socialists, and independent radicals, all of whom were dissatisfied with the two mainstream parties,..”

The Left has been chasing this 100 YEARS!!!
Point being...Conservatives are so little interested in Gov’mt that by nature they default the argument to those for whom it is a religion....and consequently the Church of Progressivism just re-elected its Pope, Barry Obama, this past November
Bill Buckley was “organized conservatism” in the last half of the 20th century.If it was not for his intellectual foundations, his cognitive efforts...and his independent wealth that allowed him these pursuits, the Progressives would have won the war 25 years earlier, right after dethroning Nixon.
Today there simply is not a grass roots conservative organization comparable to what the Progressives laid down 100 years ago. The closest to it is the Tea Party..which is being strangled in the cradle right as we speak.
What CAN be achieved, easily, and locally, by Tea Party minded individuals, are straight, clean elections. In a country largely “right-of-center” ...leftist government is not in power honestly. Rush was going on yesterday, citing poll after poll, showing how even those supposedly voting Obama in don’t even support his positions, making the very corruption alluded to even more of a probability.
That presumptive corruption is the lever, the only lever, We the People retain. Truth will always out when the spotlight is shown upon the deeds.
