Eisenhower’s military-industrial complex speech covered the topic as well, including a warning about a scientific-technological elite that would get out of control:

That’s what we have here in Calixuela thanks to Term Limits. The politicians are props. The state is being run by breaucRATS and lobbyists. Those are the final resting places of politicians after they’ve put in their time in The Assembly and Senate. If they don’t go on to DC, that is.

Then, apparently, he had one forced upon him in 1980 or so.

I couldn’t understand why that one was picked. They were always against one another, from what little I saw.

I saw RR get out of the limo across the street from my work place back in 1976. Only time I saw him even that close.

Shocking! Government is too enormous and should be whittled down.

When viewing a little of the Impeachment hearings, one thought traveled throughout:

WTP were paying THOUSANDS for the group of people sitting on their butts, drinking coffee, and hearing the lies being spewed throughout the day. WE paid for that and it’s time we STOPPED the check. How many staffers and what is their salary? So many people to push a pencil, nod the head. Just to appease the elites and keep them happy and their life running smoothly.

Iran-Contra sure sounds like a CIA plan to setup Reagan after what we have seen with Trump.

The mere fact that there are intelligence agencies that spy on American communications and use that information against those Americans is enough to say there is a Deep State, a shadow government.

The federal govt needs to be whittled down to almost nothing. Cut off the money flow and kill the beast. Stop the equality civil rights ect push. And let America and the state’s decide how the operate.

I like his concluding remark about comparing government budget decision making to “protecting your virtue” - “you have to learn to say no”.

Actually in March of 1975, Reagan was making a serious push for the 1976 nomination. He and his family were devastated when Ford prevailed (narrowly). Many did not think Reagan would be able to run in 1980 due to age so 1976 (at the time) was considered Reagan's last shot.

Highly recommend Larry Schiekart's biography of Reagan that just came out this year. Larry is a Freeper - Screen name "LS".

Thank you— my goodness, found my eyes full of tears. Lord, miss Reagan, and Bless him wherever he is, having slipped the surly bonds of Earth.

“You have to say, No” and “Remember the answer I gave you about the cee eyyyye aaa?”

God Bless those warriors who ARE on the side of the American People, the American citizens, and please damn those who are not, the little statist denizens who do the dirty work of the Uniparty and trough eaters who have “ ...created a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance” both here and abroad. Damn you to the hell you deserve, legally delivered to you.

Their great weakness is the fact that they have to hide what they’re doing. This tells us how to destroy them. It’s being done as we post.

As I understand, the DS has been around since at least Andrew Jackson.
