The
Lawyers Party
Finally, somebody who's
adept at writing put my thoughts into common sense
words..
Something to
ponder.
A LAWYER
WITH A BRIEFCASE CAN STEAL MORE THAN A THOUSAND MEN
WITH GUNS.
This is very
interesting! I never thought about it this
way.
The Lawyers' Party, By
Bruce Walker
The Democratic Party has
become the Lawyer's Party.
Barack Obama is a
lawyer. Michelle Obama is a lawyer.
Hillary Clinton is a
lawyer. Bill Clinton is a lawyer.
John Edwards is a
lawyer. Elizabeth Edwards was a lawyer.
Every Democrat nominee
since 1984 went to law school (although Gore did not
graduate).
Every Democrat vice
presidential nominee since 1976, except for Lloyd Bentsen, went
to law school.
Look at leaders of the
Democrat Party in Congress:
Harry Reid is a
lawyer. Nancy Pelosi is a lawyer.
The Republican Party is
different.
President Bush is a
businessman.
Vice President Cheney is
a businessman.
The leaders of the
Republican Revolution:
Newt Gingrich was a
history professor.
Tom Delay was an
exterminator. Dick Armey was an
economist.
Speaker of the House John
Boehner was a plastic manufacturer.
The former Senate
Majority Leader Bill First is a heart
surgeon.
Who was the last
Republican president who was a lawyer? Gerald Ford, who
left office 31 years ago and who barely won the Republican
nomination as a sitting president, running against Ronald Reagan
in 1976.
The Republican Party is
made up of real people doing real work, who are often the
targets of lawyers.
The Democrat Party is
made up of lawyers. Democrats mock and scorn men who
create wealth, like Bush and Cheney, or who heal the sick, like
First, or who immerse themselves in history, like
Gingrich. The Lawyers Party sees these sorts of people,
who provide goods and services that people want, as the enemies
of America .. And, so we have seen the procession of
official enemies, in the eyes of the Lawyers Party,
grow.
Against whom do Hillary
and Obama rail?.... Pharmaceutical companies, oil companies,
hospitals, manufacturers, fast food restaurant chains, large
retail businesses, bankers, and anyone producing anything of
value in our nation. This is the natural consequence of
viewing everything through the eyes of lawyers. Lawyers
solve problems by successfully representing their clients, in
this case the American people. Lawyers seek to have new
laws passed, they seek to win lawsuits, they press appellate
courts to overturn precedent, and lawyers always parse language
to favor their side.
Confined to the narrow
practice of law, that is fine. But it is an awful way to
govern a great nation. When politicians as lawyers begin
to view some Americans as clients and other Americans as
opposing parties, then the role of the legal system in our life
becomes all-consuming. Some Americans become adverse
parties of our very government. We are not all litigants
in some vast social class-action suit. We are citizens of
a republic that promises us a great deal of freedom from laws,
from courts, and from lawyers.
Today, we are drowning in
laws; we are contorted by judicial decisions; we are driven to
distraction by omnipresent lawyers in all parts of our once
private lives. America has a place for laws and lawyers, but
that place is modest and reasonable, not vast and
unchecked. When the most important decision for our next
president is whom he will appoint to the Supreme Court, the role
of lawyers and the law in America is too big.
When House Democrats sue
America in order to hamstring our efforts to learn what our
enemies are planning to do to us, then the role of litigation in
America has become crushing.
Perhaps Americans will
understand that change cannot be brought to our nation by those
lawyers who already largely dictate American society and
business. Perhaps Americans will see that hope does not
come from the mouths of lawyers but from personal dreams
nourished by hard work. Perhaps Americans will embrace the
truth that more lawyers with more power will only make our
problems worse.
The United States has 5%
of the world’s population and 66% of the world’s lawyers!
Tort (Legal) reform legislation has been introduced in congress
several times in the last several years to limit punitive
damages in ridiculous lawsuits such as spilling hot coffee on
yourself and suing the establishment that sold it to you and
also to limit punitive damages in huge medical malpractice
lawsuits. This legislation has continually been blocked
from even being voted on by the Democrat Party. When you
see that 97% of the political contributions from the American
Trial Lawyers Association go to the Democrat Party, then you
realize who is responsible for our medical and product costs
being so high!
