Of course you know it’s already been shown, including by photos of much older inscriptions, that the “Mussolini” quote was an old Italian saying. But admitting that doesn’t bash Trump.

Amazing how self righteous you are! Judge not that ye be not judged! You have a LOG in your eye while worrying about the splinter in Trump’s eye.
Mussolini DID NOT originate the saying you attribute to him. It is actually a dirivation from the Bible and was inscribed on a wall by a soldier in 1918 during the 1st World War. Mussolini had nothing to do with the origin as you imply.
Trump is the future President of the united States. Get used to it.

The Founders were rightly concerned about having too much power vested in a strong leader. The flip side of this was a classic quote from the Mel Gibson character (Benjamin Martin) in The Patriot:

"Why should I trade one tyrant three thousand miles away for three thousand tyrants one mile away? An elected legislature can trample a man's rights as easily as a king can."

“It is better to live one day as a lion than 100 years as a sheep.” reveals a mindset very much at odds with the Framers of our U.S. Constitution.”

So is this opinion trying to state that our Founding Fathers were able to mealy mouth King George III to win our freedom from Briton? No one had to get up, act like lions and actually take up arms to win?

Is this opinion based on common core teachings?

Personally, I think you extrapolate too much out of the Lion-Sheep analogy and carve a Biblical edict from it that "against the system" is bad in some way because it is only God's pervue.

Indeed, this statement ...That these united Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States, that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown..." . It may specifically represent the "Crown" of the time, but it also can be applied today to a massively intrusive government run by entrenched, corrupt politicians and the federal government functionaries that suck the life's blood out of this country by day, and by night while we sleep.

To loose the teeth and claws these rats is not just God's responsibility. It is one of the reasons we are given free choice.

Just my opinion as you have a right to yours. But I will add this. This OP is not news; it may be activism, but I think today it is symptomatic of the death rattle of the system that will not abide Trump under any circumstance.

Actually, almost every program discussed by Trump would fit perfectly with George Washington’s administration.

OK...The quote from Mussolini is not really the point, it is used as a vehicle to contrast Trump bombastic character versus the Founding Fathers character ...

How many of our founding fathers would be voting for Trump ?

I think not many...

If only that were the only thing we had to worry about. Then, I wouldn’t worry about it at all.

Donald Trump's affection for the Mussolini statement, "It is better to live one day as a lion than 100 years as a sheep." reveals a mindset very much at odds with the Framers of our U.S. Constitution.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Oh stuff it, I have a feeling you wouldn't know a fascist if you fell over one.

The diagnosis of fascism can be seen here:

http://www.americanthinker.com/2009/05/barack_obama_the_quintessentia_1.html

Our greatest presidents were just like Trump. They were called to duty from their apolitical lives by circumstance and love of Country. You are offended by Trump's ego but not your own , and wish to impose a will of logic and extrapolation so as to elect what amounts to comparatively inexperienced gurly-men whose testicles have only partially descended? Thats idiocy.

My second pick for the nomination was Fiorina. A truly great American.Never served a day in elective office.

Now if you cannot get off your purity kick, you will find yourself very much alone. Our greatest presidents were not political class animals who dedicated their lives to political careers. They worked at their politics part time when needed , and were quite content to occupy themselves with their own domestic business interests most of the time. And so those great ones had the skills which were evolved from living outside of politics. Today this had been mostly lost. Trump is actually in this tradition, a self made man, and one who knows how to manage large structures of hierarchy, and who is called by the People to execute a representative task. This is in the greatest traditions of America.

Since Trump is not a political career animal like all the others, he does not pass your scrutiny. As a matter of fact, those who pass your scrutiny can do so only because you buy the image they have created for you. They are manifest perfection , have no stink and are actually so pristine as to be unreal, not human, but true members of a political aristocracy. They are no better than ordinary Americans but have led you and a mistaken cadre of caterwauling others to think so.

I prefer the stinky human being who has the skill and heart to engage the presidency in a transcendent manner, in the tradition of American warriorship. And that is Donald Trump.

You can take your so called purity of purpose and stick it. I want a good president, not a saint.And most of America, including latinos, women and some democrats, any blue dogs that are still not gone agley into utopian Obama nationalist socialism, feel exactly the same way. Watch Trumps numbers soar and then you and those like you can continue to tremble as you do now.

Mr. Trump is an American Winston Churchill, more than adequately equipped to do the job that circumstances and duty have called him to perform.Your efforts to prevent that are futile.He will represent ALL Americans. That's why he will win.

Trump has no political past or record.He has never served in elective office. He has no record to criticize. America is going to nominate him.And that is a very good thing.

The resemblence is unavoidably striking, grim determination, and thats not what you call "ego." or Mussolini :
