I posted the following rant on Facebook yesterday:

Today my grand daughter Gracie celebrates her 9th birthday….I love her and I worry greatly for her. I found the following comment in the newspaper today and would like to share it to demonstrate why I worry:

“The United States is a banana republic thanks to the Democrats who think they are entitled to rule the rest of us since FDR captured the government in 1932. Eisenhower was accepted because both the Democrats and Republicans wanted him to run on their ticket. Joe Kennedy stole the 1960 election for JFK via the Chicago machine’s voting fraud. Nixon was taken out by a Democratic coupe. He didn’t do nearly as much mischief as LBJ, Clinton and now Obama, all of which has been ignored by the media and public. LBJ’s power was gained by blackmailing the opposition with tapes made at a mafia owned hotel in Atlantic City where two way mirrors and peep holes entrapped gullible VIPS with free rooms, booze and women. Clinton’s coercion, misdeeds and perjury was notorious yet the Dem. Senate refused to uphold the impeachment and refused to even examine the proof of rape. Our country is in debt beyond its means to repay and the big fools just keep on keeping on. Our education system is deliberately dumbed down so that those who can and are willing to learn are not taught any more than the bottom feeders are able to learn, Clinton gave his beloved Chairman Mao’s Communist China our industrial base by allowing China to dump its cheap slave labor made goods here duty free and saddling our industries with so many regs that they couldn’t compete. . The name of the game was to save China so its communist govt. wouldn’t collapse like the USSR’s. Those in power are determined to make Communism work, one way or the other. We are a third world banana republic already and along with all the third world, uneducated, low mentality immigrants that are being brought in by the hundreds of thousands it can only get worse.”

The only thing I can add is the Bush’s didn’t make things any better for this country because they belong to the same rat club in spirit and mind. President Reagan was the only true exception -— a throwback to the times of our founding fathers. Other than Reagan the only president to earn my respect (in my lifetime) is Harry Truman. He didn’t take a dime from the government. He retired a poor man with only his Army pension. He even packed his own bags and paid for the moving van back to his home in Missouri without an allowance from the government. Truman represented the Democrat Party I was raised in and part of but that party has since made such a mess of things it is totally unrecognizable now and that is unforgivable. My adopted Republican Party is just as bad and corrupt now. I wish I believed in the efficacy of prayer and God because I would say, God help America! We need rescuing but I don’t hold out much hope of that happening before the sewer of life swallows us down the drain of history.

Those in charge of the Republican party have driven it so far off of Reagan's highway that it's truly in doubt whether anyone can bring it back.

The GOP establishment has made it clear that the party is moving away from conservatism, so it’s time for conservatives to form our own party. It’s as simple as that.

I think he’s right on..........I haven’t been excited about a Republican nominee (other than Ted Cruz), for many years.

If there are any true conservatives out there, it’s time for them to come to the fore and either take over the party, or form another one.

It depends. I have no problem with discriminating against people who broke the law and are here illegally but I refuse to stiff arm those who grew up on the democrat plantation and know no other way.

You don’t have to pander or offer anything in order to reach out to Americans who need conservatism most but fear it.

...Or migrate to an existing party with an infrastructure in place. The Constitution Party might be a good option.

This didn't happen by accident. Those leaked emails in NC etc. prove that Soros' DNC was out to pick apart the RNC county by county. I consider the fact that Graham and McCain are out of the closet a blessing. McCain was accused of benefited from Soros money some years ago, now it makes sense.

Out with the old, and in with the new! Rand and Rubio are the type of fighters we need. Expect them to be slandered in the media, and by the Soros trolls here on FR. Good riddance cronies. God knows what he is doing.

no matter what negative consequences might result from society's abandonment of support for traditional marriage

Once again, "traditional" marriage has three features:

1) It is permanent (no divorce)
2) Sexual exclusivity is enforced by the law (adultery is a crime)
3) Children of the wife's body belong to, and are supported by, the husband under penalty of law for default, bastards are the responsibility of the state. (no single mother custody).

Traditional marriage has been outlawed in the United States for at least 50 years. The replacement of traditional marriage with a temporary relation, terminable at will by either party without cause and existing primarily for tax benefits and social esteem, is perfectly suited for homosexuals (in fact, almost all "married" heterosexual couples have a "gay marriage" already).

The foregoing being undisputed, opening "gay marriage for heterosexuals" to its inventors seems inevitable.

The Constitution Party is a joke. It is like jumping from a sinking ship to a rubber dingy full of clowns. It has the three leg failure David Limbaugh was talking about with foreign policy/defense positions that mirror Libertarians. Considering that is the primary Constitutional role of the federal government, it is a deal killer.

The battle for the GOP can be seen real-time here on Free Republic among long time Freepers. Many threads championing cowardice on social issues just to win an election. Very disheartening.

The Constitution Party has no gonads and won't fight.

Constitution Party abandons bid for Pa. ballot

Note in particular my Post #7 on that thread:

" I exchanged some angry emails with the Goode campaign about giving up in Pennsylvania, and found that it is nothing but a spineless, defeatist bunch of losers unwilling to fight for anything. The Constitution Party will never amount to a hill of beans, based on what its senior officials told me earlier in the week when I was beseeching them to fight for PA."

If a sequester is what it takes to slow government down, lets have a new sequester every month.

Maybe in Sharia law or extreme puritanical situations but traditional views of marriage across most cultures and religions aren't like this. I haven't seen a church (other than Islam) this extreme in years and they are usually fringe, snake-handler types.

The republican party showed its true stripes when they controlled both houses and the executive branch and still spent like drunken sailors. I have not been a republican since.

Fool me once, and all that...
