The biggest fools of this election cycle are the hysterical, self-righteous ideological purists who can't see beyond their own narrow, one-size fits all dogma.
Conservatism is not only the purview of those who are well-versed in Constitutional principles.
My dad, who passed away in January, was a Conservative through and through, but knew very little about the technical contents or details of the Constitution.
But he darn sure had an inkling of what it means to be FREE, and to be proud of one's country, and to love it, and to work hard, and to be fair.
And there are plenty of black Americans, secular Americans, Hispanic Americans, athiest Americans, libertarian Americans, gay Americans, and so on, who believe, along with us, that the Washington status quo should be obliterated. I think nearlyl all Americans can look at each other and agree that that goal is a necessary starting point.
And Donald Trump is leading that charge, plain and simple. Is he the ideal candidate? No. Neither was George Washington the ideal General. But God used him to do things greater than himself.
After the Washington Establishment is shaken to its very core, only then can we all roll up our sleeves and get about the work of making America great again.
But it's not going to happen from just one narrow segment of the population, and it's not going to be led by candidate who only inspires one narrow segment of the population.
We need a President (not a "great debater") who can lead all the People to a better future.
There's a Revolution brewing which transcends the traditional boundaries of contemporary ideological labels.
Like the original one, it might not be perfect, but it'll be ours.
So the lukewarm Tories, please stand aside, because we have an entrenched, monied, corrupt power structure to bloodlesslly overthrow; a collective of leeches who consider themselves the modern version of royalty, replete with Ministries, Offices, a Divine Right to Order our lives, and a different set of Rules for the Privileged.
Abolish the Washington Cartel, I say, so We the People can "establish" something closer to the American heart...
Speaking strictly for myself, my fear is that this 'revolution' will also transcend The Constitution in even more numerous and irreversible ways than the Commie in Chief has already done and, in effect, complete The Kenyan's "fundamental transformation".
Well said. There is recognition on both the Left and Right that the parties have co-opted the system. They've been serving up candidates the elites want. Candidates controlled by the elites; all while dividing the country.
My dad, who passed away in January, was a Conservative through and through, but knew very little about the technical contents or details of the Constitution.And that's the problem. Most people (especially the nutter "birthers" who congregate here) don't understand the Constitution. They think it means whatever they want it to mean. It's easy to support an imaginary version of the Constitution when you define it to mean whatever you believe.
