The Left's Three Branches of Rule





The Left's Three Branches of Rule

 

A good many of us grew up taking Civics in school and learned about the three
branches of government, with their roles and responsibilities. And, even if you
were not paying attention in school, we had Schoolhouse Rock each Saturday
morning on ABC reinforcing such lessons.


My, how things have changed.


Today, if you speak with someone who has recently become a citizen of these
United States, they can tell you more about our government, and history, than
most Americans. That is because they took it to heart to study and pass the
citizenship test, which I would offer, many Americans could not do.


Today, we do not have objective instruction of Civics, the teaching of the
three branches of government -- Legislative, Executive, and Judicial. We do not
have an objective study of History, that has been replaced in many schools by a
subjective dogma called Social Studies. Today, there is a move to revise
American history to say that our founding was in 1619, when the first slave
ship touched our shores, instead of July 4, 1776, when we declared our
Independence.


We will close out this month without any real hoopla or celebration of
Constitution Day, September 17, 1787, when our rule of law was signed. We have
lost that understanding of those three branches of government. The Legislative
is the most powerful and passes legislation to become law. The Executive signs
the passed legislation into law, or vetos it from becoming law, and sends it
back to the Legislative branch. The Judicial branch interprets the law and
hears cases to adjudicate according to compliance with established law.


I would easily state that we have drifted away from that foundation.


For the progressive socialist left -- now called the Democrat Party -- they do
not embrace this fundamental premise of our Constitutional Republic. The left
is not interested in the three branches of government, but rather the three
branches of rule: media, academia, and the courts. We see this played out every
day in our America.

 

The left knows that if they control the narrative, the message, they can
control the people. where have we seen that before?


Our Constitution speaks of freedom of the press, but, I believe our Founders
wanted an objective press, not a state-controlled propaganda tool.


The left needs to control academia in order to raise the next generation of
little socialists, Marxists, progressive leftists. This is why divergent
thought -- meaning conservative thought -- is shunned on college and university
campuses. And, now, we see a full-scale assault on local education, meaning
high schools, middle and elementary grades, by leftists in control of school
boards implementing a curriculum of indoctrination, not education.


But, it is in our courts where the left seeks true dominance. It is there that
the mentality of legislating from the bench and judicial activism is most
apparent. Even today we hear of Senate Democrats speaking of controlling the US
Senate so that they may "stack the US Supreme Court," an endeavor last
envisioned by one Franklin Delano Roosevelt, a Democrat.


Here in Texas, we see the Texas Democrat Party not going out and attempting to
win this election by the strength of their ideals; no, they are seeking to
manipulate it through the courts. The Texas Democrats have gone up to the US
Fifth Circuit Court to overturn Texas election law stating that the 65 years
and above standard for absentee ballots reflects age discrimination. The Fifth
Court ruled against them. Their objective is simply this: to institute mass
mail-in balloting.


This past week -- Friday to be exact -- the Texas Democrat Party got an
Obama-appointed judge in the US Federal Court, South Texas district, Laredo, to
overturn Texas election law and have us go back to straight party ticket
voting, yes, three weeks before early voting begins. Why? Because the left
knows that it is easier for their mindless lemmings to hit one box, than to
exude diligence in staying in the voting booth. Then again, George Soros can
just pay them.


In Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, and North Carolina, leftist judges are
deciding that mail-in ballots may be received up to four, seven, and, even 14
days after November 3rd. Why is it that we are getting these decisions from the
judicial branch and not something decided by the legislative branch? After all,
this is changing election law. It's simple: the left knows the key to their
type of control, power, is through the courts, with ideologue activist judges,
not constitutional jurists.


So, now, we have the latest apoplectic rage from the progressive socialist
left, the SCOTUS nomination of Amy Coney-Barrett. President Trump's third
Supreme Court nominee in his first term has the left in a fit of madness.
Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, even referred to impeachment to prevent the
president from making a nomination. Now, any graduate of Schoolhouse Rock knows
that is absurd. You cannot impeach a president for doing their constitutionally
mandated, Article II, enumerated power to nominate justices to the Supreme
Court. Nothing scares the left more than to see a generational shift in the
composition of the US Supreme Court or any judicial position.


Here in Texas, two years ago, Republicans lost approximately 56 judicial
positions. This year, we have four State Supreme Court justices and three
Criminal Court of Appeals judges up for reelection. Yes, in Texas, We The
People of Texas have a say. It would be utterly detrimental to the future of
Texas to allow "useful idiots" (the verbiage of Vladimir Lenin) to vote for
judicial activists who only care about a certain leftist ideological agenda, in
essence, ruling by court mandate, not legislative effect.


We live in a Constitutional Republic, not a constitutional monarchy. Mandates,
rules, edicts, orders, and decrees are not the way we live in Texas or America.
We must restore the three branches of government and ensure there are those
checks and balances of the usurpation of power from any one branch.


Here in Texas, we want to be governed -- not ruled -- and we will never accept
the left's three branches of rule.
