I can say one thing: I think a President Trump would keep them on mission. He’s as serious as a heart operation about this.
Cruz talks like he wants to do that too. I’d hope he would, and wouldn’t bow to compromising interests. Normal politics has a very siren song.
I completely agree.
Trump brought up the central issue: immigration and who are we?
It is hatred of other Americans that motivates the people in the government today. Basically, starting from about the mid-60’s, the government started seeing the citizenry as the problem.
So they began to see their role as keeping an eye on us, because we were Evil and Dangerous for being racist, rebellious, and most importantly, way too independent.
Translation: they run the plantation, and the slaves (us) be gettin’ uppity.
They’re Communists. Communism is about State ownership of the means of production, right? Land is productive: that’s the point of the Bundy’s and the Cox’s and the Finicum’s and the Hammonds.
So that’s what this is about: the Communists from D.C. want the proles to understand that they own nothing, that their lives are forfeit whenever the Party in DC decides it, that any attempt to overturn that reality will be met with firepower bought and paid for by the rest of us.
I would hope that Trump, as a major property holder would understand that and a) dismantle it, and b) keep them on mission as you say, because in the end, foreign occupation of our country is also about property rights. Trump’s history in the one issue of Eminent Domain makes that uncertain, but I believe he can be convinced. Maybe I’m projecting on that point, but compared to everything else he’s right on, it’s not a major concern.
Cruz says all the right things. He’s done enormous good in the Senate and stood up to the backstabbers who took our votes and sold themselves to the lobbyists. On that alone he should be President.
But Trump is the guy with the money, name and qualifications to really get it done: he doesn’t have to be nice to anyone. Could we convince him to say, The West needs to be turned over to the People, for productive land use? I think so. That’s been his business for 40 years. Don’t think he sees empty dirt as some sort of museum like the frozen faced Stalinists of the Dept. of the Interior.
