This is really still a preview of an intended broader publication. It is not yet linked to any menus. Because it is intended to be a further endorsement of Donald Trump, I wanted to invite criticism of fellow Trump supporters, to make sure it is in as effective a form as possible.
In brief, we know that everything we believe in is on the line now. We have to put our arguments in the best form possible. All criticism is invited.

3. The "love"/"hate" measure suggested by Mrs. Clinton & her surrogates, is in the context of administering the Federal Government of the United States of America; the context of an election to determine who is best suited to accept the Constitutional mandate, involved. There is no legal or moral duty to deal with foreign interests or persons in any way that conflicts with the Constitutional rights of Americans. The Constitution is silent as to any right or power to expend the lives, treasure or homelands, of the American people, in any foreign interest. Rather, the very Preamble requires an acceptance of the Trump premises; a complete rejection of those of Mrs. Clinton. Read it, parse it, absorb the intent:
We the people of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
Note the focus on "posterity"--on lineal descendants. That in nowise implies anything negative about any other people. Like the context of the Fifth Commandment, it is a purely positive recognition of the importance of multi-generational pursuits in all sentient life. It takes nothing from anyone. But it clearly recognizes our duty to our own. It is all about a parent's love for his children.

2. Donald Trump, from the very start of this campaign, has vowed to put America & the Americans first. He has also promised to make America "great again. He recognizes that the changes, he seeks, are a restoration of the greatness achieved by earlier generations. Where he has attacked, it has been in the positive quest of putting "America first"--of restoring the greatness of the United States. Anyone who claims that Trump's priorities are driven by "hate," does not portray Trump's values or intentions, but those of his foes & detractors.
Bttt!
Donald Trump can be acerbic. He can certainly speak in anger--an anger increasingly shared by other Conservatives. But the root of that anger is the betrayal of the foundations of the American heritage by a combination of pseudo intellectual Leftist internationalists ("One Worlders"), with corrupt & myopic globalist business interests! Two complementary groups of fantasy rationalizers, who have abandoned any sense of duty to their communities & roots, to favor cloud-borne images of the benefit of models, which simply do not work as fantasized. Thus, an anger born in the realization that the values we love & honor have, in fact, been betrayed.
We really need to win this!

Good job
I am trying to focus, today, on how we can exploit the virtual total violation of every rule of objective reporting by the "American" Broadcasting Company, in its war on American culture, under the pretense of covering the Presidential campaign.
They cannot report on anything Donald Trump has to say, without first taking only what suits their devious intent, completely out of context, and shoveling totally inapt--as well as inept--adjectives into every sentence in the report.
Have been listening to radio news since I was going on 5 years old, and have never heard anything quite like it. We need to start brain-storming ways to "thank" them for their ongoing hatred of all things American. Just calling themselves ABC News is false advertising.

We are in a battle for the future, which we dare not lose. On the one side is reason and institutions based upon the pragmatic experience of many generations of successful human struggle. On the other, the emotion & compulsion driven pursuit of fantasy wish lists; the proponents of those wish lists never willing to actually debate their agenda in terms of the context of the supposed objectives; but ever reliant on overt appeals to jealousy, envy, guilt and every other useful base emotion. (That is "useful" to their malevolent purposes.)
Every day it becomes yet clearer how important a Trump victory is.
My only purpose in pointing this out, is to win this election. And there really is too much energy, from our people, in worrying about their chance for an eventual pay back, rather than how best to reach the uncommitted--as well as those induced to waffle, by those who betray us.
The first task is to win. Damn the lies; and Damn the liars! Full speed ahead!
What sort of a "Conservative," feels an obsessive need to vilify the one major party Presidential nominee in this Century, who has vowed to always put America First?!
The candidate who pledges to stop illegal & anti-American immigration; who recognize that we must not allow Terrorists or others who hate American values to freely enter & operate in America, against our people; who will defend our people's jobs and communities against disastrous trade policies.
Who has vowed to stop the Federal Bureaucracy's interference with local education; to appoint only strict constructionists to the Supreme Court; to stop the insulting & destabalizing efforts to reconstruct other nations against their will; to rebuild our Defense capability; to stop the deliberate Federal assault on local Police; to honor our Veterans and the promises made to them; to stop the wholesale killing of babies, including those even in the process of being born; etc., etc.? Especially when such a clearly Conservative candidate is running against one who has taken the exact opposite position on every issue, listed above!?
The answer is no Conservative whatsoever! The Kristols, Ericksons, Becks, etc., have made themselves a joke--a very bad joke. They may mouth Conservative stands, but when push comes to shove; they can only babble lies against the candidate who will give then what they pretend to want. In this process, they have demonstrated that they are not in any rational or pragmatic sense, Conservative Americans. We need to put them in their place, once & for all with clarity--the evidence for it is after all totally clear;--and turn our attention to more fully take advantage of the great opportunity with which Donald Trump has provided us!
Is there anything even slightly unfair in this projection? This is my response to having listened to Glen Beck's forked tongue absurdity this morning.
More of Beck’s sick obsession, on the radio, this A.M. He was employing a subtle “big lie” technique, which further exposes his lack of integrity, as well as his often demonstrated lack of objectivity.
I’m not going to spend any time thinking about payback against the Nevertrumpists.
I will hurt them where it counts: in the wallet.
Frankly: I cannot remember a Presidential election, where the factual background of the major issues was a totally one sided as this one. There really is no rational reason any loyal American can support Mrs. Clinton. Think about it! Wait till our full volleys start as we get closer to the event!!
