…and sometimes I think that’s one of the reasons why the mainstream media focuses so much on the national politics–to obfuscate the true acts of pilfering that go on in front of our eyes every day on the way to work, going shopping, or taking our kids to the park.

Consider this letter from a Cleveland resident that was posted on Erie Voices this weekend from The Cleveland Plain Dealer:

Our nation’s laws are grounded in the principle that we are a nation of laws, not of men. After reading the Sept. 18 article regarding “private judges,” I have to question whether that axiom holds true in Cuyahoga County.

First, perhaps it is because I am not an attorney and do not speak legalese, but I fail to see where there is any ambiguity concerning the private judges’ use of county facilities. The plain language of the law requires that the “parties will assume the responsibilities for providing facilities, equipment, and personnel.” Why, then, should the taxpayers foot the bill when the law clearly says they should not?

Second, Rob Glickman asks why any judge would be upset with not trying a complicated case? Well, I was under the impression that part of a judge’s duty was to try cases. If the judges do not like to try their cases, maybe it is time for them to seek a new profession.

Finally, implicit in the article is yet another failing of the Taft administration, which is short- term appointments to the bench. In appointing judges whom the public has rejected, the governor places another burden on the taxpayers while allowing his friends to line their pockets.

Trust me, your state judges and councilmen and women are most likely robbing you blind and wasting your tax money on frivolities, living like the bourgeoisie in the years leading up to the French Revolution.

But to those people, I say this: Be alert because Americans invented the successful citizenry revolution. The spirit of George Washington, Patrick Henry, Andrew Jackson, Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, and Ronald Reagan still flow through these veins.

The American citizen is not stupid and will only take so much before you get held accountable for what you do with the collective trust they have each given you as individuals to secure their lives and property from infringement by other citizens or foreign invaders.
