In just a few short days, the 2014 mid-term elections are going to be upon us. I hate to say it, because it seems like we’ve been saying it for every election lately, but these are the most important elections our nation has ever had. But the reality is that as the two principal political parties are becoming more polarized, reflecting the very polarization of our society, each election does in fact become more critical than the last. What makes it worse, for those of us who are conservatives, is that no matter how many elections we win and how many conservatives we manage to get into office, they are stuck fighting the liberal bureaucracy in Washington. I often think that the biggest driving force for liberalism in this country isn’t the liberal politicians, the liberal celebrities or even the liberal press; it’s the liberals who populate the third political party – our government’s bureaucracy. Nobody elects these people to office, but yet they hold tremendous power. Congress passes laws, but those laws are then interpreted by an army of bureaucrats, who turn the laws into regulations. Most of the time, we deal with the regulations, not the laws. Regulations which are written by people who aren’t elected by anyone, aren’t beholden to anyone, yet hold incredible power. A large part of the reason why the bureaucracy is liberal is that government work is more attractive to liberals than it is to conservatives.
