Neither have I. And for damned good reason. SO take meaningful action, America. Elect Trump!
“There’s a difference. This time there’s push-back. “
I agree. Those of us who lived through it the last time aren’t just sitting back watching it happen.
I know the sarcasm tag was on, but the date was July 25, 1967.
I hope that Trump remembers a bit of obama’s post election fun and comes up with an “Office of President Elect” podium.
Here’s my take, in a nutshell...
The 1900’s began with a significant and startling shift away from faith in God towards faith in man and his government.
Fast-forward to the 50’s - “Happy Days”. Americans generally felt fine with “I love IKE” during the 50’s, not having yet significantly felt the results of FDR’s unconstitutional “New Deal” nor the souring taxes under Ike’s reign.
Reagan and the “conversation movement” rose in the 60’s startled at the socialist shift in the government.
In the 70’s Nixon equivocated and self-destructed and Carter got everyone pissed off.
Reagan in the 80’s brought “Morning in America.” However, Americans still hadn’t figured out that individual autonomy and state sovereignty were the key to America’s freedom and future even though Reagan ran on those ideals. It was more like, “We’ve got the right guy” but he was in charge of a rogue government.
Late 80’s through 2016: Essentially 30 years of the loony Left growing government and ignoring the Constitution and state sovereignty with the grand crescendo of Obama’s Anti-American Administration.
People are pissed, more than they were with Carter, but are they pissed enough to vote for state leaders who will throw off the shackles of unconstitutional federal government tyranny and refuse financial dependence on them anymore? At a deeper and significant but very relevant level, are enough ready to turn from trusting in man and his government to turn again to trusting in the Lord?
Those are the real questions IMO.
Remember to read this article about how Barney Frank screwed over our economy:
I look forward to President Trump sending federal agents to arrest Frank.
No, IMO Nixon resigned because he knew he didn’t have the support to keep him from being removed after impeachment, unlike Clinton who knew he was still popular enough to avoid removal, otherwise Clinton would also have resigned.
Who do you think won in 1968?
North Carolina just sued the Loretta Lynch and the “Justice” Department over its ridiculous assertion the federal government would shut off federal funds to NC if it didn’t let perverts in the bathrooms.
So some states have balls.
I think it shows Nixon was too ethical. Clinton proved that if you simply ignored and fought the allegations, the Senate would not convict.
Who do you think won in 1968?
I know that RFK and MLK came in second and third.
Bud is owned by InBev. Not American any more.
Let’s see if NC has the balls to tell the feds to take a hike when the feds threaten pull the funding plug. That’s where these cowards lose it. Someone, some state, somewhere has got to have the balls to go financially independent of the feds. Just one. Others would follow. The revolt against the tyranny of the feds would be on in force and hopefully the Constitution reinstated as the Supreme Law of the Land and states sovereignty restored. A rebirth of freedom in America.
It would be compounded if the state then refuses to comply with federal unfunded mandates. And then the citizens could go on a tax revolt and stop paying federal taxes.
Then you weren’t around in the latter days of the Viet Nam war, I guess. Or politically, the mood of the country when Newt engineered control of the House under Republicans for the first time in forty years.
