The Jan. 6 Capitol ruckus is not one of our country’s greatest moments. But if the objective of a few of the protesters was to overthrow the federal government, they planned and executed poorly. The same can’t be said of the Democrats. Their mostly bloodless coup to suspend constitutional limits and seize unchallenged power has been thoroughly calculated and expertly executed.
For decades Democrats at all levels have been moving the U.S. from the civil society it was designed to be to the political (that is, coercive) society they want to be in control of. They have waged outright war on the first, second and 10th amendments to the Constitution; robbed us of our economic liberty through punitive taxation and strangling regulation; created environmental policies that have made innocent men criminals for making use of their own property and taken that property whenever possible; and destroyed independence by fostering more dependence on the state. They spend other people’s money as if it were, well, other people’s money and there is therefore no governor on their actions.
“The Democrat Party has a long history of ignoring the Constitution when it impedes their government-expansionist objectives. Which is nigh constantly – as the Constitution is a government-limiting document,” says Seton Motley, president of Less Government, who cites some of the more egregious examples in a Heartland Institute essay.
Two years ago, before she became a pawn in the Democrats’ effort to exploit Jan. 6 to further fuel their dreams of empire, Republican Rep. Liz Cheney said the American people were sick of Democrats acting “as though they are willing to burn the whole place down,” disregarding the Constitution, and making threats “about court packing or trying to somehow abolish the Electoral College.”
