Late last week thehill.com reported on the mass of pending regulations. This site already linked to it, but I'll include the link below for convenience. But for now, a quick question. Am I the only one who's sick of this crap?
In the title of this post I refer to this regulatory process as legislation, and that is more or less what it has become. These regulations carry the same weight as laws. We can be fined or imprisoned for defying these regulations and yet we have no input on the regulations themselves or on the appointment of the people who write them. People who do not represent us can use the regulatory process to impose their will upon us with impunity. Yet any word of protest is followed by an admonishment such as "Don't you understand that this is for your own good." It seems to me that everything that our government does that's "for our own good" is no damn good.
More and more these elected officials and appointed bureaucrats are violating our personal sovereignty. They have long since forgotten that We the People rule this country. Hamilton once expressed his fears about an "embryonic Caesar" and we have reelected him. And our Dictator-in-chief keeps appointing these regulators to impose his "fundamental transformation" regardless of what We the People think about it.
I for one am fed up with regulations. If the government wants to pass laws let them do so in the proper manner. Although we still get shafted when they do that. I suggest that every conservative, every TEA party activist, every constitutionalist, and everyone else who is disillusioned with this administration adopt the rallying cry of "NO LEGISLATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION" before we are all regulated into oblivion.
