The reason Trump won is precisely because we Americans know what America stands for!

America's biggest -- and scariest -- problem: Most Americans no longer know what America stands for. For them, America has become just another country, a place located between Canada and Mexico. ...
The left, unlike most Americans, has always understood that either the left is right, or America is right.
America stands for small government, a free economy (and therefore, capitalism), liberty (which therefore allows for its inevitable consequence: inequality), the melting pot ideal and a God-centered population rooted in Judeo-Christian values (so that a moral society is created by citizens exercising self-control rather than relying on the state to impose control).

Dennis is incorrect. His idea of conservative is Paul Ryan....They love open borders, trade agreements that hurt the US, and unbridled government spending
Well, in a sense it’s true. America no longer has much of an identity. Other than perhaps its ever-burgeoning embrace of depravity. We’ve had decades of our higher institutions teaching our youth to loathe our history and heritage, and we’ve had decades of illegals flooding the country who have no connection nor understanding of what our nation stood for, either Constitutionally or culturally. It eventually reaches a point where we exist with no border, no shared culture, no shared history. Just a lot of disparate characters wandering around, waiting (and even longing) to be conquered, to give them some comforting semblance of order.
Excellent article, thank you for posting. Seems to hit the nail dead on.....
I’d say Trump is winning because more and more people are NOT scared, i.e. they are fed up and will no longer be the silent majority.
We KNOW what America is, the problem is the people we have elected FORGOT what America is...
So we, as American Voters, decided to take back OUR Country by supporting an American, born, bred, raised in America, built his business the American Way and has raised his family by American Values...
We had a candidate who was born in Canada, who said he knew all there was about the Constitution and the laws of America, well that didn’t turn out so well when we found out he lied, not only to the people of Texas, but the American People, then we had a number of Representatives and Senators who wouldn’t and didn’t vet a Kenyan that had no business being in OUR government at all, raised by the thinking of Frank Marshall Davis and Rev. Wright, and nobody stopped him, and he has taken America and American Values and stomped them in the ground and is nothing but a Muslim, gay, community organizer idiot...
This time, WE the American People decided WE would take over this election, and we have, that’s why Trump is where he is today, and he will, by God, be our next POTUS...
Those other people can leave OUR country, go sit in the gutter where they belong, or join the band wagon, because America is OUR Country and WE, the American People are going to save her!!!

I stand against the filth that IS the democrat party.
I stand FOR Donald Trump because he’s smart enough NOT to act like a stupid corrupt politician... or like a suck-up corrupt biased member of the press.
Dennis Prager thinks too deep. The simplest reason is the unwashed masses want a real fighter this time. [Yes, we are that desperate.]
===> In other words, some one already pointed out, we are totally fed up. This time around, voters simply refuse to participate in the DC shell game.
BTW, good to know Dennis Prager will vote for Trump.
A presidency of Hillary is absolutely unacceptable.
The Lord answered, “Listen to them and give them a king.”
People who support Trump still believe in smaller government
This statement is just patently false: Most Americans no longer know what America stands for. A more accurate explanation is: Most Americans no longer know what the Republican Party stands for. It seems to mirror the Democrat Party in many ways.
"Europe was created by history. America was created by philosophy."
True that, but the Republican Party has abandoned that philosophy.
America stands for small government, a free economy (and therefore, capitalism), liberty (which therefore allows for its inevitable consequence: inequality), the melting pot ideal and a God-centered population rooted in Judeo-Christian values (so that a moral society is created by citizens exercising self-control rather than relying on the state to impose control).
Again Trump supports share that belief, but the Federal Government hasn't been living up to that as evidenced by not maintaining control of the melting pot by allowing, for decades, the illegal invasion of this country. Which has been aided and abetted by both parties in support of the big money contributors facilitating their re-election efforts.
America was founded on the principle that human rights come from the creator. For the left, rights come from the state.
Trump supporters still believe that human rights come from the creator, but the Republican Party has come to believe rights come from the state in the eyes of many who see The Republican Party's defense is weak when it comes to vocally reinforcing that human rights come from the creator.
I could go on and on throughout this article to trash his opinion, and that is all it is, that Trump supporters are not "conservative". Yet another "conservative" defining what conservatives are.
The Republican party hasn’t stood for small govt since Reagan. Prager has been drinking his own bathwater.
You have no thoughts on the article you posted?
What is really scary to the nomenklatura like Prager is that we the people are taking the meaning of conservatism back from the political professional losers who have driven it to marginalization.
He can’t stand Prager either?
The reason Trump won is precisely because we Americans know what America stands for!
Trump is scary. Donald is dangerous. He is a loose cannon. We can’t allow a person with that temperment to be POTUS. Everyone needs to vote for Hillary! Its the only reasonable choice. /obvious sarcasm.
