Great Essays. Here are couple more quotes on that subject. I do believe that bureaucratization can be dealt with. That, in part, is what grass-roots Republicanism is all about (local control). Success will be determined by our committment and unity as a party and whether or not we hold our party's feet to the fire.

"The greater the bureaucratization of public life, the greater will be the attraction of violence. In a fully developed bureaucracy there is nobody left with whom one can argue, to whom one can present grievances, on whom the pressures of power can be exerted. Bureaucracy is the form of government in which everybody is deprived of political freedom, of the power to act; for the rule by nobody is not no-rule, and where all are equally powerless we have a tyranny without a tyrant." - Hanna Arendt.

"The federal government too often treats government programs as if they are of Washington, by Washington, and for Washington. Once established, federal programs seem to become immortal." - George Bush, State of the Union Address, Jan. 29, 1991.

"Of all races in the world our people would be the last to consent to be governed by a bureaucracy. Freedom is their lifeblood." - Winston Churchill, speech, London, March 21, 1943.

"Bureaucracy is the death of any achievement. I've seen and experienced too many dreadful warnings even in comparatively model Switzerland. I'm inclined to the view that the state can only be of use to industry as a limiting and regulative force." - Albert Einstein.

"You don't need a lot of bureaucrats looking over your shoulder and telling you how to run your life or how to run your business. We are a people who declared our independence 200 years ago, and we are not about to lose it now to paper shufflers and computers." - Gerald R. Ford.

"One of the enduring truths of the nation’s capital is that bureaucrats survive." - Gerald Ford, A Time to Heal, 1982.

"If you hold power long enough in a one-party state -- North Korea, Cuba, Massachusetts -- you can believe anything. Fidel Castro says he speaks for the Cuban people. Kim Jong believes those he holds in bondage adore him. Ted Kennedy thinks he's a megaphone for the masses." --Don Feder.

"The federal government currently requires some counties to print ballots and other election materials in foreign languages—a mandate which is, to say the least, a little curious. If someone must learn English to be a citizen, and only citizens can vote, why is there a need for bilingual ballots? Such is the level of dishonesty in today's immigration debate." — Newt Gingrich.
