Brett,
'With me' what that's supposed to mean..
Get SERIOUS... THINK... You and EVERYBODY else knows I NEVER suggest this ONE rule is going to result in genocide.. I simply was using a severe example of how the loss of freedom gradually becomes accepted and therefore worse.. much more
I am NOT a conservative.. don't insult me..
OK, then please say what you actually mean, because you certainly did equate the two above.
Note also that conservatives are the only people even claiming to fight this sort of facist overreach. Certainly not the Democrats, who *love* endless regulation. FDR more-or-less invented the idea.
And to be clear, what you should be ranting about is the fact that is it supposed to be very difficult to create new laws, and that the lawmakers are supposed to be accountable. However it dawned on someone that it would be a super-great idea to create non-legislative regulatory bodies via legislation, which permitted the legislators to delegate the responsibility for writing the regulations (and ostensibly, not have to be experts) to others. These others would not be elected nor would they be directly accountable to the voters. The had the authorization to raise revenue, as well. This deflects liability for the results of the regulations from the elected officials so they do not get the backlash. The agencies *always* grow endlessly, they never end. For example, the Rural Electrification Authority was created in 1936 to help bring electricity to farms. That goal has long been accomplished, however, the agency still exists (as the Rural Utilities Service) bit still has a budget, employees, an org chart, etc.).
This approach has led to exactly the same bureaucracy overhead as is found in other countries, like Great Britain, as the "civil servant" class. So now you have endless agencies churning out endless regulation, with absolutely no accountability, and no politician or elected official to punish for the results. And as used in recent years, accountable to "executive orders" where an individual not charged with *any* legislative authority can influence the agencies and essentially dictate their actions - again with no accountability.
This is what you should be on about. The completely unjustified, and fundamentally illegal, nature of this arrangement is anathema to liberty. NONE of it should exist, NO law/regulation should be outside the direct accountability of elected officials, and they should not be able to defer responsibility for the actions of nameless and faceless organizations.
In a properly running US government, it would be nearly impossible for Congress to enact the endless stream of regulations directly. That was *intentional* and part of the underlying principle of the formation of the government from its inception. It was intended to preclude exactly this.
The *only* people fighting this, even with lip service, are what are now considered "right-wing extremists". The lousy ex-hippies are now the inmates running the asylum, and as with any "liberal" philosophy, it *must always descend into totalitarianism*. It cannot exist without totalitarian forces involved, and *will always tend to totalitarianism". This is just a minor/trivial example of that.
I expect this to be challenged legally on the basis that it violates US Code.
