Spot on. I think this is why Trump isn’t concerned, Cruz is out due to birth or lack of numbers. Doesn’t matter as long as we get the same result.
I am quite confident that the FR ownership is more than aware and is likely figuring out how to put a stop to it while they have a chance of saving this so valuable forum.
One side or the other is probably in for a ronpaulistas style smackdown.
I read on another thread that you were a troll from DU and that hate JR. I’m too tired to find the link for you, so you can look it up yourself.
I too have referred to Washington’s farewell address as a warning. Both for Obama, and now for Trump. Of course the party pendulum has been swinging pretty much from the start.
Quote:
I have already intimated to you the danger of parties in the State...let me now take a more comprehensive view, and warn you in the most solemn manner against the baneful effects of the spirit of party generally....
The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders and miseries which result gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual; and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction, more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of public liberty....
I’m shocked by the shear lack of honesty on your part
And so when both political establishments want to remove Trump, what does that say? It says neither of them believe he is truly of them. They are scared to death of him and so if his election means the downfall of these two political establishments that have destroyed this nation from within, then tell me, why is that a bad thing?
The one thing that I think Washington might look on us now and see is, that the separation of powers in general still works and limits the abuse that one person can bring. But obama sure has pushed it to the limit. As did FDR before him and many others.
Excellent article.
I'm sorry, but is this guy talking about Cruz? Describes Trump to me.
Good point that Trump may be causing the two party system to crumble - or the “uniparty” as some call it. That would not be all bad.
Although as I posted in number 64, where the author seems to not be too concerned about ideology, then much of what Trump is tapping into (rightful anger and a want for change) might turn into mob rule.
Fred... You have clarified the whole matter and I stand with you!!!
You are confusing change with restoration, rightful anger and a want for the restoration of the rule of law, these are the key foundational principles of Trump's campaign.
He says it at every rally, "we either have a nation or we don't. We either have a rule of law or we don't, we need the laws enforced and we need the borders protected."
Well, PJ, you were the one asking for the link. As I said there have been so much conservative icon bashing and lack of civility, that I don’t really wish to reread them.
As to your snide 4th grade little remark, I have never even been on DU and have great respect for Jim Robinson for his forum and his tenacity at wrangling this mess. Now if you wish to link to the disparaging remarks, which I was rudely not pinged on. Otherwise I’ll just consider the source.
However, even his followers wouldn't listen while on the border of the "promised land" and had to turn back and wander aimlessly in the wilderness till that generation had time to die off (40 wasted years)!!!
History appears to be trying to repeat itself... Really sad.
If our dear beloved America has any luck left, you will be subject to much more shock before the Convention.
Deu 17:15 you shall certainly set a sovereign over you whom YHWH your Elohim shall choose. Set a sovereign over you from among your brothers, you are not allowed to set a foreigner over you, who is not your brother.
14th Amendment, Section 1: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and the State wherein they reside.”
#1 Cruz was not born in the United States, therefore
#2 he was not subject to the jurisdiction of the United States at birth, because
#3 at the time of his birth, the place of his parents permanent residence was located in Canada
If one is not even willing to obey the law as it is written, how can we trust that person to enforce the rule of law as it is written?
George Washington and his farewell address,
If, in the opinion of the people, the distribution or modification of the constitutional powers be in any particular wrong, let it be corrected by an amendment in the way which the Constitution designates. But let there be no change by usurpation; for though this, in one instance, may be the instrument of good, it is the customary weapon by which free governments are destroyed. The precedent must always greatly overbalance in permanent evil any partial or transient benefit, which the use can at any time yield…
Let’s wait to see the coming Primaries outcomes before throwing in the towel.
Cruz has been tested by a hot fire when running against an equally uncivil smearer David DoWorst.
One worthy parable I liken to Cruz and Trump is the Tortoise and the Hare.
Like the natural born Canadian humbling himself and admitting the error of his way and removing himself from the race along with his anchor baby Cuban brother? Yes, that would truly shock me is that happened.
