I’m wondering if the general negative response to the Republican candidates from people on the right is a growing disinclination to believe anything anyone in the political arena is saying if it appears to require that person to make any kind of sacrifice or attempt any hard work in implementing reform.
I’m thinking many (including myself) are coming to the conclusion that the power is what is being grasped and if the effort to do what was promised turns out to be tough, then the politico will simply give over and allow the nationalizing process to continue.
That is, are the candidates all really statists when it comes to actual performance, no matter how populist or constitutional they try to seem when marketing themselves?
“That is, are the candidates all really statists when it comes to actual performance...”
The answer to your question is yes, and in some cases, they don’t even try to market themselves any different.
There is a time coming when elections won’t matter because the ‘Progressives’ (both R and D) have reached the stage where their power and privileges will become consolidated by law in the now forming ‘command economy’ or as Marcy Kaptur called it ‘State controlled Capitalism’. They, then, become the Ruling Elite or nomenklaturia. They feel themselves as heroes because the dumb masses have become so incapable of self reliance, they will need someone to take care of them.
The election of Barack Obama was the beginning of the ‘Revolution in our time’. The ‘Progressives’ will do whatever it takes to reach their goals of Power. The next election will tell us if this country is finished. The voters will give us the verdict.
In a word: Yup.
All but one.
And you know who that is.
I have been listening to Cabuto interviewing persons as to tonight’s debate in Sioux City. There is one pounding question or obscurity in my mind as to all the talk. That is, what do these people wanting to be POTUSA believe the USA’s position in the world should be in order to reset/maintain the exceptional society of people envisioned by the Founders? I hear a lot of mechanics type talk about the nuts-n-bolts of government such as taxes, immigration, foreign trade and this is very appropriate. However, I don’t recall any of the candidates to date explaining what and why these have meaning to the Founder’s belief for an exceptional Nation in a world of other nations. I want to make a decision for a person who understands that the USA contrary to Obama and his enablers still has the opportunity, means, and spirit to be the shining beacon of civilization with all it’s complexities today. I do think Trump has come closer to presenting the situation but I am looking for others. Perhaps West is one such person.
