Politics, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

Posted

OPINION — Those political bureaucrats governing under the influence of globalist-socialism, having forsaken their primary responsibility for protecting domestic tranquility, are not necessarily evil people, although the strange sideshows embedded in their ideology can make it appear so.

Inviting millions of unvetted migrants to enter America illegally to reap American citizen’s benefits, without legally pledging their allegiance to America, is an inexcusable transgression.

Some politicians must think they are oracles (“if I believe it, you must too”)  or supremacists that say “don’t question, just do as I say,”  or Disney wizards, “join my vision of a socialist fantasyland.” Politicians are not spiritual deities that can strike down a person’s belief in God by substituting lifestyle idols. 

Voters elect politicians, first and foremost, to enforce the official rule of law to equally protect all American citizens. Politicians are not elected to be revisionist to apply somebody’s unauthorized interpretation of the law to accommodate their ideological narrative. The function of governing is being upstaged by the spectacle of special interest groups like those promoting immature children to alter and sterilize their biological sex parts. Everyone deserves to express themselves, but they aren’t entitled to preferential treatment at another’s detriment.

Have politicians’/bureaucrats’ egos become so enamored hearing their rhetorical utterances they feel empowered to bend the rule of law thereby altering the inalienable rights of those citizens they took an oath to serve and protect?

Remember Dr. Jekyll, who convinced himself he was serving humanity by inventing and taking a mind-altering drug. Dr. Jekyll drugged himself into becoming Mr. Hyde, his alter ego. Hyde, the evil specter, relished in manipulating and intimidating people for the pure pleasure of exerting fear and control. Dr. Jekyll, Mr. Hyde, and his unfortunate victims all suffered in the aftermath.
