The brainchild of progressive President Woodrow Wilson, the modern administrative state is rooted in a preference for rule by an enlightened clerisy.
“Trust the experts.”
Then came COVID-19. The virus dealt an irreparable blow to the credibility of our ruling class and its appeal to its own authority as a coterie of highly credentialed and capable experts.
No single person exemplifies this fall more than Dr. Anthony Fauci .
As Steve Deace and Todd Erzen detail in their new book, “Faucian Bargain: The Most Powerful and Dangerous Bureaucrat in American History,” Fauci has repeatedly contradicted himself throughout the pandemic .
FOIA requests revealed a February 2020 Fauci e-mail explaining that store-bought face masks are “really for infected people to prevent them from spreading infection to people who are not infected, rather than protecting uninfected people from acquiring infection.” He added that the “typical mask you buy in the drug store is not really effective in keeping out virus, which is small enough to pass through material.”
Yet a month after Fauci’s unearthed mask e-mail, Americans were required, with Fauci’s blessing, to wear masks pretty much every time they left their homes — and mask-skeptical posts were censored by Big Tech.
Then there is the Democratic Party’s and media’s inexplicable 180-degree turn on the plausibility of the Wuhan lab-leak theory.
American politics is in the throes of a populist moment. That moment is characterized by widespread distrust of elites and an ever-widening chasm between the ruling class’ prerogatives and the wishes of the American people. As we finally begin to emerge from COVID-19, that chasm will only grow wider. The ruling class has sullied itself one time too many.

You posted twice. Once is enough.
Strange, most Freepers still follow every word Fauci commands them to do
I’ve IGNORED that dumb son of a bitches pontificating since 1982!
“Strange, most Freepers still follow every word Fauci commands them to do”
***********************************************
Has your derangement finally led you to hate and insult your fellow FReepers? Why the hell would you make such a statement?
Only the losers that push Fauci’s vaccines on little kids. Every one of these Freepers needs an old fashioned blanket party
Jan_Sobieski is is right. There are are far too many Bushbots that only creep out to comment when the base is about to leave the GOP after yet one more betrayal.
Most of the people in government are nothing but sponges and there are too many "public servants" posing as regular Freepers while commenting how great big government is.
Also, Jan_Sobieski named himself after a Polish hero that saved Vienna and Europe from the Turks in 1683 - absolutely crushed them. You however saw fit to make your handle that of a fictional family who were nothing but fictionalized muslim jihadis.
Kinda revealing, just saying...
“Kinda revealing, just saying...”
***************************
Only for morons who will see meaning where it doesn’t exist. Just sayin’.
But feel free to believe what you will.
Just pointing out something that an idiot was not likely to think of. I think you need a nap because you are emotionally volitile.
“Democrats were much more likely to overestimate the harms of COVID-19, according to the Franklin Templeton/Gallup study, with 41% believing over half of coronavirus patients would require hospitalizations, compared to 28% of Republicans.
“Republicans were also more likely to identify the correct risk of hospitalization from the virus, with 26% answering between 1%-5% of patients would require hospitalizations...”

Double post nazi?
Yeah. I guess I am.
I don’t need 2 of the same threads. I get it with one.

Probably because its true. I consider you a liberal sheep
So why not just move on? Does someone need to hold your hand? I sear, some on here act like little children
Why don’t u just ignore my comment and YOU move on.
Are you drunk?
“Probably because its true. I consider you a liberal sheep”
*************************************
Well, in that case you must certainly consider Donald Trump a liberal sheep. And you’d be wrong on both counts.
Now that came out of nowhere. What are you basing that on? I was trying to get an idea of your political slant so I read your about page and it reads like a woman wrote it. Maybe you should change your handle to Mrs.Unique?
When I read the following I actually laughed out loud. Your About Page is clear proof of why you are trying to falsely accuse me of being drunk like a deceitful GOPe scumbag:
Mrs.Unique: "I've said it before in the forum, and I'll say it once more here: This place has changed. There has been an influx of disruptors that started in 2004 (look for the "born on" dates)
These folks will do anything to create controversy. They are not half as smart as they think they are and they betray themselves with their language. One moment they are talking of patriotism and honesty, the next they are knocking our system. They are leftist caricatures of what a true conservative is and they are giving FR a bad name."
I just read it again and I swear I smelled musty mangina. You need a douche.
Jan is not deranged.
You're a TROLL.
What's that old saying again?
S.O.S. and it ends in "Swampy"
