Power Corrupts: A Culture of Compliance Breeds Despots and Predators | The Daily Bell

Power Corrupts: A Culture of Compliance Breeds Despots and Predators | The Daily Bell:

As I point out in my book�Battlefield America: The War on the American People, I’m not just talking about the political predators in office, but the ones who are running the show behind the scenes—the shadow government—comprised of unelected government bureaucrats whose powers are unaffected by elections, unaltered by populist movements, and beyond the reach of the law.

There is no way to erase the scars left by the government’s greed for money and power, its disregard for human life, its corruption and graft, its pollution of the environment, its reliance on excessive force in order to ensure compliance, its covert activities, its illegal surveillance, and its blatant disdain for the rule of law.

“We the people”—men and women alike— have been victims of the police state for so long that not many Americans even remember what it is to be truly free anymore. Worse, few want to shoulder the responsibility that goes along with maintaining freedom.

Still, we must try.
Grasp the next to the last sentence.  The Left has successfully turned a majority of the electorate into sheeple.
