A LAWYER WITH A BRIEFCASE

I tried to find out who wrote this so I could attribute such a great a piece to the owner, but could not. And I have not vetted that of which it speaks. The only thing I have to go on is my logical mind and common sense as to what has been going on around me for seventy-nine years of living.

It’s for your reading pleasure and you decide what you think. I believe it was Shakespeare who said, “Let’s kill all the lawyers.”  Not a bad idea. This isn’t meant to degrade all lawyers, I guess there are a few around who should be saved, but I don’t know one myself. They write the laws so you must have a lawyer to do certain things throughout your life–something stinks about that. Go to your local phone book and count the pages of Physicians and the lawyers. I’ll bet money there are many more of the latter than the former. Why?

I never thought much about the Democratic party being the “Lawyer Party,” but now it all makes sense, at least to me. What about you? Enjoy the read.

 

Every Democratic presidential nominee since 1984 went to law school (although Gore did not graduate). Every Democratic vice-presidential nominee since 1976, except for Lloyd Bentsen, went to law school.

Barack Obama was a lawyer. Michelle Obama was a lawyer.

Hillary Clinton was a lawyer. Bill Clinton was a lawyer.

John Edwards is a lawyer. Elizabeth Edwards was a lawyer.

 

Leaders of the Democratic Party in Congress:

Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer is a lawyer.

Adam Schiff is lawyer.

Jerry Nadler is a lawyer.

Amy Kobuchar is a lawyer

Ex-Senator Harry Reid is a lawyer.

Elizabeth Warren is a lawyer.

Ted Kennedy would have been, but was kicked out of University of Virginia Law School for cheating.

 

The Republican Party is different:

President Trump is a businessman.

President Bush 1 and 2 were businessmen.

Vice President Cheney is a businessman.

President Eisenhower was a five-star General

Ronald Reagan was an actor.

 

The leaders of the Republican Revolution:

 

Newt Gingrich was a history professor.

Tom Delay was an exterminator

Dick Armey was an economist.

Ex-House Minority Leader Boehner was a plastic manufacturer.

The former Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, MD is a heart surgeon

 

Who was the last lawyer Republican president? Gerald Ford, who left office 31 years ago

The Republican Party is made up of real people doing real work, who are often the target of lawyers.

The Democrat Party is made up of lawyers. Democrats mock and scorn men and women who create wealth, like Trump, Bush and Cheney, or who heal the sick like Frist, or who immerse themselves in history like Gingrich.

 

The “Lawyers Party” sees these sorts of people, who provide goods and services that people want, as the enemies of America. And we have seen the procession of official enemies, in the eyes of the Lawyers Party grow.

 

Against whom do Hillary and Obama rail? Pharmaceutical companies, oil companies, hospitals, manufacturers, fast food restaurant chains, large retail businesses, bankers, Wall Street, and anyone producing anything of value in our nation.

 

This is the natural consequence of viewing everything through the eyes of lawyers.

 

Lawyers seek to have new laws passed, they seek to win lawsuits, they press appellate courts to overturn precedent, and lawyers always parse language to favor their side. Confined to the narrow practice of law, that is fine, but it is an awful way to govern a great nation. When politicians, as lawyers, begin to view Americans as clients and opposing parties, then the role of the legal system in our life becomes all-consuming.

 

We are not all litigants in some vast social class-action suit. We are citizens of a republic that promises us a great deal of freedom from laws, from courts, and from lawyers. Today, we are drowning in laws; we are contorted by judicial decisions; we are driven to distraction by omnipresent lawyers in all parts of our once private lives.

 

America has a place for laws and lawyers, but that place is modest and reasonable, not vast and unchecked.

 

When House Democrats sue America in order to hamstring our efforts to learn what our enemies are planning to do to us, then the role of litigation in America has become crushing.

 

Perhaps Americans will understand that change cannot be brought to our nation by those lawyers, who already largely dictate American society and business.

 

Perhaps Americans will see that hope does not come from the mouths of lawyers, but rather from personal dreams nourished by hard work of American citizens—yes citizens!!

 

Perhaps Americans will embrace the truth that more lawyers with more power will only make our problems worse.

 

The United States has 5% of the world’s population and 66% of the world’s lawyers!

 

Tort (Legal) reform legislation has been introduced in congress several times in the last several years to limit punitive damages in ridiculous lawsuits such as spilling hot coffee on yourself and suing the establishment that sold it to you. This legislation has continually been blocked from even being voted on by the Lawyer Democrat Party

 

When you see that 97% of the political contributions from the American Trial Lawyers Association go to the Democrat Party, then you realize who is responsible for our medical and product costs being so high vs the rest of the world—it is not simply greed as democrats would have you believe.
