It is a regression to the conservatism of blood and soil, of ethnic polarization and bullying nationalism.
That is rich from Mr. Stephens who never found a war to "Make the World Safe for Democracy" he did not support. If this is not "bullying nationalism" I do not know what is.
The Media is blasting negative comments about Trump from GOPe scum all day today. And now the WSJ comes out for Hillary.
The Republican Party is dead. The Civil War is on.
Dude’s losing it.
Wow! I’m more excited about Mr. Trump now that I know he is part John Birch!
The U.S. constitution cannot survive 3 or 4 new justices on the high court if Clinton gets elected. Tells you all you need to know about this open borders Uber Alles shill.
Hillary is the only hope ... for the status quo rentiers.
In the recent elections, "the People" have spoken, and neither Stephens nor the defeated candidates are wise enough to discern what that foretells for America.
Today's news reports intimate that Ted Cruz is exhibiting an intense mistrust of the judgment of citizens ("the People")--a curious attitude for the one candidate who is, perhaps, the most familiar with the writings and speeches of America's Founders.
After all, approval of their 1787 Constitution relied on the ratification process in the States, and any future Amendment to that Constitution, by the Constitution's own provision, requires the assent of "the People."
"I am not among those who fear the people. They...are our dependence for continued freedom. And to preserve their independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our election between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude. If we run into such debts, as that we must be taxed in our meat and in our drink, in our necessaries and our comforts, in our labors and our amusements, for our callings and our creeds...our people...must come to labor sixteen hours in the twenty-four, give the earnings of fifteen of these to the government for their debts and daily expenses; and the sixteenth being insufficient to afford us bread, we must live, as they (the British) now do, on oatmeal and potatoes; have no time to think, no means of calling the mismanagers to account; but be glad to obtain subsistence by hiring ourselves to rivet their chains on the necks of our fellow-sufferers....This example reads to us the salutary lesson that private fortunes are destroyed by public, as well as by private extravagance. And this is the tendency of all human governments. A departure from the principle in one instance, becomes a precedent for a second; that second for a third; and so on, till the bulk of society is reduced to be mere automatons of misery, to have no sensibilities left but for sinning and suffering. Then begins, indeed, the 'bellum omnium in omnia,' which some philosophers...have mistaken for the natural, instead of the abusive, state of man. And the fore-horse of this frightful team is public debt. Taxation follows that, and in its train wretchedness and oppression." - Thomas JeffersonIn 2016, "the People," having watched their elected so-called "conservative" Republican leaders fail miserably at even slowing the oppressive "progressive" "train" of "wretchedness and oppression."
"The People" who Justice Story called "the only KEEPERS of the Constitution" see the so-called "conservatives" they elected betray them, and they have responded with an outright rejection, county by county, in most of the states won by Trump.
It is time now for those the voters rejected to decide whether they will turn over the Executive Branch to a self-described "progressive" who promises to double down on the Obama agenda,
He’s married to music critic at the new York times. He had to do this - he probably doesn’t even know someone who knows someone that knows someone that supports Trump.
This is working out so well right now...
Looks like the Hillary spam paid hacks are really messing up the news feeds...
Hillary is a POS along with that thing that rapes and abuses women, and anyone who supports her or her ilk...
The media might think we are going to roll over, but guess what, WE AREN’T...take your communistic articles and shove them...
“...held in check by a Republican Congress”? In whose fantasy world?
GOP-E betrayed us willfully during the entire 0bama administration. Now they’re failing to support our chosen candidate. I’m. So. Done.
Incredible. It’s as if the last 8 years never happened. The Dems live in their bubble world, the GOP lives in theirs. Two fantasy worlds that endure in the minds of the DC elite while reality steamrolls over the rest of us.
Let's be blunt. There is no Conservative principle that is more important than the survival of your own people and the cultural heritage that is their achievement over the generations; an achievement which reflects the best, brightest & most noble of those who have come before.
The implied premises of this loon's diatribe is that there is something wrong with a culture that honors its "Fathers & mothers," that its days may be long in the land. This is a clear attack on the Western ethos in general; on common sense; on the moral strictures that keep a society healthy; on the common sense, which makes all meaningful progress--the type you are able to pass on to your posterity--possible.
Mentally dysfunctional loons, like this writer, clearly punctuate the need for Donald Trump. Let this call us back to the wisdom of the last verse of the Star Spangled Banner: Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just, And this be our motto: In God is our trust.
I hear various WSJ folks on the John Batchelor show. Everyone one of them is stridently pro ‘immigration’ (they always elide the distinction beyween legal and illegal immigration). It seems Murdoch is a harsh master.
More BULL$***. The problem is some ‘conservatives” are more interested in an economy which benefits one-worlder globalist crony companies which put large sums of money in the pockets of corrupt politicians in BOTH political parties.
The anti-Trump movement has NOTHING to do with politics, the candidate and his rhetoric or perceptions of a poor image for the GOP (over the past seven years of capitulation to Obama, IT COULD HARDLY BE WORSE). It has EVERTHING to do with MONEY and the perception that these crooked Rats in BOTH political party will loose their affluent lobbyists if Trump wrecks their apple carts. TOO BAD. I hope they made accommodations outside Washington because Trump is going to carry a lot tea party conservatives into office with him.
I’m just sick of these globalist, open borders, one way trade “deals”, LGBT toadying, deficit spending, unending war mongerers calling themselves “conservative”.
The Wall Street Journal is 100% dead to me.
I wonder if Conservatism could survive 3 or more term-for-life Supreme Court appointments...
They are exposing themselves faster that a stripper!
The author calls his own intelligence into question by insulting ours. We have a Republican congress and a Democrat president.
The Republicans have done NOTHING to hold Obama "in check." Quite the contrary.
In fact, it was the Republican failure to stand up to Obama after the 2014 mid-terms that caused me to change my life-long registration from Republican to Unenrolled.
