Washington Times ^ | Wednesday, September 21, 2016 | Jessica Chasmar

U2 singer Bono warned Tuesday that America is more than a country, it’s an idea, and a Donald Trump presidency could destroy that idea.

In an interview with “CBS This Morning,” Bono, whose real name is Paul David Hewson, argued that the Republican presidential nominee has already “hijacked” the GOP.

“I think he’s hijacked the party, and I think he’s trying to hijack the idea of America,” Bono said. “And I think it’s bigger than all of us. I think it’s — this is really dangerous.” …

I think Phil Collins and the Dead Kennedys already covered those bases...

Even in his time, Thomas Jefferson had commented that foreigners didn’t understand the Founding State’s division of federal and state government powers.
"With respect to our State and federal governments, I do not think their relations correctly understood by foreigners. They generally suppose the former subordinate to the latter. But this is not the case. They are co-ordinate departments of one simple and integral whole." --Thomas Jefferson to John Cartwright, 1824.

As evidenced by Bono’s comment, not only do foreigners still not understand the US’s division of federal and state government powers, but sadly, the states and their citizens evidently no longer understand them either.

Patriots need to support Trump / Pence by also electing a new, state sovereignty-respecting Congress that will not only work within its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers to support Trump’s vision for making America great again for everybody, but will also put a stop to unconstitutonal federal taxes and likewise unconstitutional inteference in state affairs.

Note that such a Congress will also probably be willing to fire state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices.

“Mr. Goodbar” was not the kind of movie you want to have to explain to your genteel elderly relatives. Either you get it on your own, or it’s not the movie for you. I recall it being very dark and intense. Tell Aunt Mildred to bring her own tin of smelling salts into the theater.

Did I miss something? Did Bono become a US citizen? Because if he’s a foreigner, I could care less about his stupid viewpoints on our election.

What's the difference between God and Bono?

God doesn't walk around thinking he's Bono.

You might appreciate this: The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is having an event to honor U2 today. Their only "members day" event this year is to integrate it with those events.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is that far down the bizarre path they've taken.
