I do not know who wrote this or where it may have appeared
before. It was forwarded to me by a friend. I think it speaks
mountains of truth regarding the situation we are confronted with
whenever liberals are in control. I’m sharing it; you decide if it
speaks truth to you.
As an attorney, I hesitated to forward this as it can be considered
to be an indictment against my profession. But I believe there is much
truth to the article below. Very thought provoking. Lawyers are
adversarial and are trained to try to win at all costs. It may work in
litigation but does not work well when governing our nation. Trying to
win at any costs creates the polarization and hatred that now fills our
country and leaves no room for common sense or legitimate debate.
Every Democrat presidential nominee since 1984 went to law school,
although Gore did not graduate. Joe Biden (no surprise) was at the
bottom of his class. Every Democrat vice presidential nominee since
1976, except for Lloyd Bentsen, went to law school. Barack Obama was a
lawyer. Michelle Obama was a lawyer. Hillary Clinton was a lawyer.
Bill Clinton was a lawyer. John Edwards is a lawyer. Elizabeth Edwards
was a lawyer. Look at leaders of the Democrat Party in Congress:
Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer is a lawyer. Former Senator Harry
Reid was a lawyer.
The Republican Party is different. President Trump was a
businessman. Presidents Bush 1 and 2 were businessmen. Vice President
Cheney was a businessman. President Eisenhower was a 5 star General.
The leaders of the Republican Revolution: Newt Gingrich was a history
professor. Tom Delay was an exterminator. Dick Armey was an
economist. Ex-House Minority Leader John
Boehner was a plastics
manufacturer. The former Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist 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 actor
Ronald Reagan in 1976. The Republican Party is made up of real people
doing real work, who are often the targets of lawyers. This is very
interesting. I had never thought about it this way before.
The Democrat Party is made up of lawyers. Democrats mock and scorn
men who create wealth, like Trump, Bush, and Cheney, or who heal the
sick like Frist, 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, in the
eyes of the Lawyers Party, we have seen the procession of official
enemies 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, which, in this case should be 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 or 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 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.
