Exactly. It's my great hope that Donald Trump has America's best interests at heart, because I KNOW Hillary Clinton doesn't.

We’ve already won the election, regardless of its outcome.

Trump vs. Clinton: a Risk vs. a Disaster

My only comment is some slight editing...

Thank you for posting Elder's words.

"We, the People"--all the People--need a crash course in how to be equipped to distinguish between the principles that would keep America free and prosperous and the false premises that will enslave us. We must, as well, be able to articulate them.

Accommodating tyranny by failing to call it what it is is dangerous. We need a leader whose words are strong and courageous and based in the principles of our Declaration of Independence--even if he/she may have to call in scholars to clarify the message. In other words, we may have needed a Paul Revere, not a philosopher--who would listen?

American citizens need to wake up to the counterfeit ideas and false "hopes" offered by politicians who use "promises," just as the rest of us use "currency."

They buy votes with "promises" in order to gain power to themselves and their ilk. Then, when "hopes" are dashed, "the people" they have promised to help (the naive, the poor, the ignorant--even the "educated" who are ignorant of liberty vs. tyranny) find themselves enslaved, working for those who have purchased their power in the most despicable manner--by offering "hope and change." Thus it has ever been.

The people who founded America were not so "dumbed down." Hear two of them:

"It is proper to take alarm at the first experiment on our liberties. We hold this prudent jealousy to be the first duty of citizens and one of the noblest characteristics of the Revolution. The freemen of America did not wait till usurped power had strengthened itself by exercise and entangled the question in precedents. They saw all the consequences in the principle [usurpation of power] and they avoided the consequences by denying the principle. We revere this lesson too much . . . to forget it." - James Madison

" . . . nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers, and destroyers press upon them so fast, that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon the American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour. The revenue creates pensioners, and the penshioners urge for more revenue. The people grow less steady, spirited, and virtuous, the seekers more numerous and more corrupt, and every day increases the circles of their dependents and expectants, until virtue, integrity, public spirit, simplicity, and frugality, become the objects of ridicule and scorn, and vanity, lusury, foppery, selfishness, meanness and downright venality swallow up the whole society." - John Adams

Further, it was not just the founding leaders who were well-informed about their constitution and approaching threats to its protections.

By the Year 1830, when the French jurist Tocqueville traveled America, he wrote admiringly of the citizenry, observing that even the backwoodsman was far more well-read and informed than those in other parts of the world, and that they understood their Constitution, and had with them a Bible and a newspaper. Sadly, beginning in the mid-20th Century, our "government" schools removed the ideas of liberty from the nation's textbooks, largely under the guise of a counterfeit idea of "separation of church and state," and the citizenry is uninformed as to the difference between tyranny and liberty.

Today, with all modern means of communication, Americans possess little understanding of threats to their liberty and, thus, risk losing it to charlatans whose only goal is power and fleeting personal wealth--thinking nothing of posterity.

It’s rather amazing that the Espionage Act has no provision for considering intent, yet in Hillary’s case, the lack of intent exonerates her, according to Comey. Snowden on the other hand, can’t receive a fair trial in America, because a jury wouldn’t be allowed to consider his motives (his intent).

It’s actually breathtaking how hypocritical and inconsistent these criminals are. They literally make the rules up as they go along, and the well-connected will never face justice. Justice is for “little people”.

Btw, Napolitano is on fire today, check out his most recent column:

As Gimli the Dwarf said in Lord of the Rings:

“Small chance of success versus certain death. What are we waiting for?”

I am certainly not sure what Trump will do and maybe he'll do badly....but he is not part of the corruption and he is not one of the arrogant elitist....

if he simply stops the corruption I will be happy....
