“Rubio’s strong suit is his ability to defend the free market system, the dynamic power of an unfettered Capitalist system.”

And that’s the same excuse I’ve heard about Grover Norquist, Rubio’s adviser and mentor. WHAT , what has either done to help ‘capitalism’? It’s a trojan horse, William. A bone to throw us to keep you in their camp and keep you quiet. Don’t ya think we did that long enough??

Most of Rubio's time, since he emerged as a major candidate, in his original Senate race, has been devoted to his good points. They are not a "bone" to throw.

As for keeping me "quiet?" Just how is the frank dialogue that I propose with Rubio in Whither American Conservatism?, keeping quiet?

I not only oppose any continuation of our idiotic post 1965 immigration policies, I have pointed out repeatedly (for example, Surrender By Subterfuge, how the diversity cult, which is a major part of our present immigration policy, works to undermine the continued existence of the Republic.

Grover Norquist also has some good points, but he is also clearly out of line in this. It is short-sighted, very ineptly focused, pseudo-pragmatism, that must be strenuously opposed.

Silent? Never!
