J Edgar Hoover wielded tremendous power over Presidents and governments for my years by using his position to collect troubling information on politicians over many years. He was a bad man, with a deviant nature with enormous power. Alan Greenspan was a misguided Economist who believed wrongly that the markets would behave to control the misdemeanors of Banks and banking executives. We know how much he got that wrong. Is there any other unelected, long serving person in a senior position able to influence the course of this nation through their own misguided ideals? There must be one or two based on history.?
History is being written every day. I would add Eric Holder, who has dictated that only racial minorities rate Judicial Justice, and that the justice department can run industries that do not match the liberal political agenda out of business. Then there was Lois Lerner that used the IRS to stymie the opposition party voice during the 2012 election process. Then there is every judge appointed to a bench that ignores the Constitution in favor of so-called social Justice.
