The Two Mikes had the insightful Ed Haugland on the podcast today, and both of us learned a good deal.
Mr. Haugland compellingly argued that, at base, America’s political problems can be found in a change of attitude among the republic’s public servants, which includes senators, congressmen, bureaucrats at all levels, flag, intelligence, diplomatic, IRS, FBI, and DHS, officers, mayors, councilmen, district attorneys, governors, etc.
Public servants no longer adhere to their oath of office, especially ignoring their responsibility to defend and protect the U.S. Constitution “against enemies foreign and domestic.”
American citizens, by and large, are now their servants, people who can be systematically monetarily drained of their incomes, jobs, liberties, voices, and personal independence.
Biden and so many others have been in politics for 40 years, and after entering politics with little or no money are now worth many tens of millions of dollars. These public non-servants have ferociously fed off their citizen servants and have long used their children to fight endless, interventionist, and always lost wars.
The oath of office was seen by the Founders as a means to ensure that appointees who took the oath knew that if they broke it, they would not only suffer material loss — losing their job, being fined, and being incarcerated — but would suffer in the afterlife for defying the “so help me God” affirmation with which they closed their oath. The Democrats’ decades-long war on Christianity successfully negated the power of the “so help me God” statement and so public servants became exploiters and destroyers of the citizenry.
Mr. Haugland also noted that none of the country’s takers of the oath-of-office have lifted a finger to stop the invasion of the United States by 5 million criminal foreigners, creating a situation in which each U.S. state could be supplied with enough unwanted criminals to create five new cities, each of which would have 20,000 people.
