"How dare you attempt to attribute its greatness to one personality---to a gasbag reality show celebrity."

Yes I dare because I'd rather win with Trump than lose with Cruz.

I reject your silly paternalist scolding as you don't seem to have a sense of humor.

Your insinuation of being me against Jesus Christ and the American revolution, due to my unwillingness to bail on Trump based on Kelo - that is funny, sad and distressing all at once. You must know me well and what is in my heart.

America is a singular, unique nation of laws--not men-- opportunity, freedom, and religious liberty, founded upon Judeo-Christian principles and dedicated to Jesus Christ by its earliest settlers. Men have shed blood and died in the effort to create it and to keep it since the days of the Revolution.

As you seem to like to make a show of your saintliness I would hate for your piety to be stained so you may want to reflect and pray (in public of course so everyone can see) upon how you disagree with those who would be your friends and allies - its a primary after all.

I enjoy how disagreeing with you - transforms me into a person with liberal tendencies - oh no better go get that checked out.

As to large theme of using the Trump/Kelo support being a test of ones purity of belief in liberty, opportunity and freedom and general all around conservatism of those that came before to this office let me review briefly and incompletely.

John Adams (Federalist) - got the Alien sedition act passed.
Lincoln suspended Habeas corpus.
Theodore Roosevelt - big activist government proponent pushed for federal income tax after Supremes struck it down
Taft - helped pushed for the 16th amendment (federal income tax)
Hoover - Started the New Deal and Smoot Hawley
Eisenhower -expanded Social Security, increased the minimum wage, and created the Department of Health, Education and Welfare.
Nixon - so many thing but how about closing the gold window and taking us off Brenton Woods.
Reagan allowed amnesty - Gramm–Rudman–Hollings
Bush - Lied about raising taxes - Justice Souter although he did nominate Thomas too.
GWB - John Roberts - compassionate conservatism - an now what has become pointless war retroactively.

Each one of these presidents all committed actions that would today be said to be going against conservative principles. Yet somehow we became a great country through the course. I guess they'd be living in the village too.

The only one probably to pass the test in the last 150 odd years would be Calvin Coolidge - he seemed like he was awesome.

Have a joyous day
