25 QUESTIONS: That We Should Demand Be Answered By Our Leaders

Our governments from municipal to federal have grown exponentially since our country’s founding.  That growth is not just in quantity but also in percent of population. Laws and regulations have increased to an uncountable level with many thousands obsolete but not repealed.  Like a cancer, for decades government has even begun to feed on itself.  That cancer first begins by the big fish, (federal) devouring the small fish, (municipal), and then works its way to bigger fish; i.e. County and State Governments.

Every day, more and more questions arise that can be defined as political self-cannibalism of the Federal Government.  The Federal Government just can’t get enough to satisfy its appetite for more power and control.  The menu to satisfy that appetite totally ignores the 10th Amendment to the Constitution, the superior law of the land.  To label the Federal Government as “out of control” is itself an understatement of the fearful obvious.

Our Constitution was intended to guarantee equal justice for all under the law.  The problem is that laws, regulations, ethics and political correctness create confusion about what is or is not permitted on any given day or under a particular circumstance.

That confusion has stimulated me to write out some questions.  I ask my peers, am I missing something about the formation and purpose of our government?  In any event, feel free to add to this list for it is far from complete.  And then, pass it on.

1. Why does this Administration encourage Muslim immigration but not Christian immigration?

5. Why are we cutting benefits for our veterans, giving near no pay raises and cutting our military to less than pre-WWII levels but we are not cutting or reducing payments to illegal aliens such as monthly payments for each child, money for housing, food stamps, free education and also college while granting the right to covertly vote?
6. If Black Lives Matter, why do they treat themselves and each other so badly?
7. Why does the administration talk gun control over the mass shooting of ten but not use as example, the killing of 15 in the President’s home town?
8. Why is the motto “Black Lives Matter” but the saying that “All Lives Matter” results in a war between races seemingly stimulated by government?

15. Why do so many citizens that claim their disgust at the government continue to perpetuate this same government by returning the scoundrels over and over again?

17. Why was the Democrat Kentucky county clerk, Kim Davis, who refused to issue same-sex marriage licenses because of religious objections, arrested for contempt of court but the chief of the Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Columbia, Cathy Lanier, gets a pass for refusing to issue concealed weapons permits to people unless they can arbitrarily show a “good reason,” although not required by law?
