If anybody wants on/off the revolutionary progressivism ping list, send me a message

Progressives do not want to discuss their own history. I want to discuss their history.

Summary: Brick #1 in the yellow brick road.

I wish Teddy Roosevelt could have just let Taft have his second term. All his deficiencies in Roosevelt’s eyes are nothing compared to letting Wilson and his crew in.

Key to the Administrative State, is civil service protection.

If presidents had the power to fire and replace bureaucrats, the Deep State would have less power.

Not a lot of people know that it was Wilson who really started the Administrative State.

The fedzilla had its start with Abraham Lincoln (yes, THAT Abraham Lincoln), who initiated the supremacy of the federal government over the states (i.e., the first real assault on the republican form of government as created by the Founders and enshrined in the Constitution). Woodrow Wilson picked up the baton and created the Administrative State. Then FDR put the federal government on steroids. Finally, LBJ put the nail in the coffin of the US as a constitutional republic. Subsequent presidents lowered the coffin into the ground. Now the Biden administration is tossing the dirt on that coffin.

Imagine being able to set your own salary and those of your willing aides and co-conspirators.That's just one of the things that the Congresscritters who claim to “represent” us can do.
