The Beltway Bubble

The Beltway Bubble is not America


Interstate 495 is a highway that encircles the Washington D.C. metropolitan area called the Capitol Beltway. To the rest of the country, it is the Washington Beltway because it centers on our national seat of government and includes the residences of the majority of the people that work for the federal government and those trying to influence the federal bureaucracy. The Beltway also encompasses the three richest counties in America. In the last 100 hundred years the area encompassed by the Washington Beltway has morphed into a virtual bubble, which no longer represents the morals and values of the rest of the United States of America.

The Beltway Bubble is a zone, that once entered, changes virtuous people into zombies

"Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." ~ John Adams
The Beltway Bubble is a zone, that once entered, changes virtuous people into zombies that go along to get along in the various bureaucratic institutions. I personally have seen that if you work for or with crooks for very long, inevitably you will become a crook. The transition is easy even for the most honest person.
“Show me a man that gets rich by being a politician, and I'll show you a crook.” ~ Harry S. Truman
The Beltway Bubble is a zone that has created its own fantasyland where the occupants are no longer able to relate to what goes on outside that bubble. It is a world consisting of the professional career politician ruling class and their minions. Their only concern is what happens inside the bubble. They are certain that only the Beltway dwellers are smart enough to run the country and the lives of everyone in it. These people expect the rest of the country to buy into their fantasies and never challenge what they want done.
"Occupants of public offices love power and are prone to abuse it." ~ George Washington
"But if the laws are to be so trampled upon with impunity, and a minority is to dictate to the majority, there is an end put at one stroke to republican government, and nothing but anarchy and confusion is to be expected thereafter." ~ George Washington


The Beltway Bubble is a zone where laws are made for all the little people outside the bubble

The Beltway Bubble is a zone where laws are made for all the little people outside the bubble. Sadly, the Constitution, moral values, and all other sideboards of civilization are flexible to fluid for the Beltway Bubble population and their minions.
"Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny." ~ Thomas Jefferson
The Beltway Bubble is a zone where truth simply cannot find a home. Lying is as natural as breathing, and corruption is a way of life. The prime directive is “The Agenda” and nothing else matters, and everyone in the Beltway Bubble has an agenda. Unfortunately, rarely is that agenda good for the America outside the bubble. The Beltway Bubble is a zone where the various criminal enterprises refuse to acknowledge simple math. They perpetuate a system that spends more money than they can confiscate from We the People and somehow, in their twisted minds, think there will be no consequences for a larger and larger national debt.
"No generation has a right to contract debts greater than can be paid off during the course of its own existence." ~ Thomas Jefferson
The Beltway Bubble is a zone where the government confiscates money from We the People, then redistributes that money to special interest groups through government contracts, social programs (charity), and other considerations. Ultimately some of the money so confiscated ends up coming back to the Beltway criminal enterprises from the lobbyists of the special interest groups they support. That’s how poor career politicians get to be rich politicians.
"The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury." ~ George Washington


The Beltway Bubble is not America

The Beltway Bubble is a zone where bad ideas end up as Cabinet level agencies and never die no matter how expensive they get, how unsuccessful they are, and whether or not their purpose is an enumerated power of the federal government. Executive Branch departments have been established to dispense charity and, in addition, nearly every other department has a charity function of some sort.
"Charity is no part of the legislative duty of the government." ~ James Madison
The Beltway Bubble dwellers totally reject the following Founding Father’s guidelines for a successful Republic:
"The eternal difference between right and wrong does not fluctuate, it is immutable." ~ Patrick Henry
"We have staked the whole future of our new nation, not upon the power of government; far from it. We have staked the future of all our political constitutions upon the capacity of each of ourselves to govern ourselves according to the moral principles of the Ten Commandments." ~ James Madison
"Religion and good morals are the only solid foundation of public liberty and happiness." ~ Samuel Adams
"Remember civil and religious liberty always go together: if the foundation of the one be sapped, the other will fall of course." ~ Alexander Hamilton
"Man will ultimately be governed by God or by tyrants." ~ Benjamin Franklin
"The reason that Christianity is the best friend of government is because Christianity is the only religion that changes the heart." ~ Thomas Jefferson
"One's god dictates the kind of law one implements and also controls the application and development of that law over time. Given enough time, all non-Christian systems of law self-destruct in a fit of tyranny." ~ George Washington
"Do not let anyone claim tribute of American patriotism if they even attempt to remove religion from politics." ~ George Washington
The Beltway Bubble is not America. We the People allowed it to develop and are now recognizing that it has metastasized into an out of control evil empire trying to control every aspect of our lives. And only We the People can change it at the ballot box.

In many of these positions I repeatedly took an oath to defend the United States Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic.
