Simple. We've become a nation of "gimmedat" (some 41%), along with the PC media spokeholes. Few speak out for our original ideals that was once the envy of the world, and which so many copied. Still, I have some hope for this presidential election cycle. But think how long it would take for the most conservative President and conservative Congress to restore our nation. Laws and regulations are not easily revoked.
Are we beyond hope? No. Here are some slogans that conservative politicians can promote:
RESTORE OUR NATION TO WHAT WAS ONCE THE ENVY OF THE WORLD!
WE DIDN'T NEED "FUNDAMENTAL" CHANGE! WE NEEDED TO RESTORE ACCOUNTABILITY and SELF-RESPONSIBILITY THAT WE ONCE HELD DEAR.
WILL AMERICA LEAD ONCE AGAIN? YOUR CHOICE!
The above should be the rallying cries for every GOP candidate. Forget the minutia of every issue, if just one Pubbie candidate made that his central theme with backup, it would resonate. While I'm not sold on Trump, I give him credit for trying.
THE RULE OF LAW IS EVERYTHING. WITHOUT, THERE IS NOTHING BUT CORRUPTION AND ANARCHY.
