America must elect a patriot and leader in 2016, not another bloodless parasite
Coach is Right ^ | 8/7/14 | Suzanne Eovaldi

Has the time finally come that practical rather than political experience, a larger than life persona and sanguinary vision of both sworn enemies and fair weather friends should define the suitability for office of the next American president? Our elected representatives are charged with defense of the Constitution of the United States and the faithful execution of their office. But for decades the republic has suffered through an epidemic of irreconcilable political, economic, social, and media agendas which have transformed the US from a nation of prosperity into one of decay. We are becoming what our Founders feared most as a nation of laws degenerates into one of corrupt, agenda driven men.

Consider these two analogous librettos. In one recent drama, two Republican US Representatives finally were “allowed” to tour the holding pens of Central American children being used as pawns in Obama’s high stakes power play to fundamentally transform America, now imminently upon us. Rep. Randy Neugebauer (R-TX) meekly told a Fox News audience: “I wasn’t allowed to take pictures!” DHS deigned to let him peek into the illegal alien petri dish of infectious diseases now being transported all over our land.

Another US Rep., Jim Bridenstine (R-OK), a Navy PILOT, who was initially told by a federal alphabet entity that he’d have to wait three weeks to tour Fort Sill in his OWN DISTRICT, was permitted to do a walk about, but with the same news blackout caveat. Governor Rick Perry, looking very chic in a uniform from the wardrobe department of the governor’s mansion, did a boat patrol photo op up and down the Rio Grande. But he appeared unable to stop President Obama from messing with TX.

In a second libretto, the text featured Donald Trump showing the same sort of compassion that...

If you disregard his wonder about Donald Trump as President, this coach has a huge point. And I’ll give it to him.

THIS COUNTRY NEEDS A BALLSY LEADER.

I think we need a patriot, someone who reveres the constitution, and somewhat of a populist. I believe he needs to be very close to the center politically — probably perfect would be big on diversity and liberal on social issues, but firmly conservative economically and with regard to foreign policy.

Only someone who could impress people slightly right or left of center BUT YET REVERES THE CONSTITUTION can get us out of this. It has to be someone whom the leftist media will not be able to grill, flay, and deep fry. Thus it has to be someone they fear. Or someone who can out stealth them.

Sadly, Americans aren’t looking for leadership, they’re looking for firsts, first semi Black president, first semi woman president, first bi president..and so on.

Right. One of us. A good guy. Like Reagan.
When Reagan was elected I thought, "There's gotta be thousands of regular guys like him. Why can't we just get a bunch of these guys elected? Shouldn't be that hard."
Well, 30 years later, obviously it's harder than it looks apparently.

Absolutely, there's been a lot of effort put into engineering it to be that way, and here's a brochure explaining why:

Haven't seen many of them around, lately. Lotta wannabes, pretenders, and BS artists, but no real leaders.

Wow, the $1 trillion HHS bureaucratic monster in all its mischief.

Nuke the HHS along with at least 80% for the $4 trillion socialist government.

Someone with ethics, morals, Christian faith and American patriotism? Sounds like Sarah Palin would fit in the WH just fine.

I used to buy into the pendulum theory.

Can’t say I do anymore. I just don’t have any faith left in the American voting populace. America has become too morally and culturally bankrupt at this point. This isn’t the same country as it was thirty years ago.

Do we even have an American who embodies a combination of patriotism and leadership?

Only one name comes to mind for me: Allen West.

I would craw through burning coals on my naked belly to cast my vote for the Colonel.

Jeff Sessions is on that very short list of politicians who are patriots first and foremost.

He probably would have to be drafted by those of us who know who he is.

He doesn’t go out of the way to promote himself and I’ve never seen anything that indicates he wants to be President.

All the more reason that he should be.

He is a politician, they all believe they should be in charge.
But he is a conservative, how long has he been in the house? And what did he do before that? For me he showed up at the right time, says and does the right things. But your right, he's not a self promoting guy in the mold of Charlie Schummer. Does he have an organization around him? It would be important to have one that he put together of similar like minded people. I would like to encourage him to go for it. The country really needs him.

Name change needed from ‘bloodless parasite’ to ‘blood sucking piriah”

Jeff Sessions never was in the House. He’s been Alabama’s junior Senator since 1996.

Before that he was U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Alabama 1981 to 1993. Atty Gen’l of Alabama in 1994.

here’s some of what wikipedia has to say:

“Sessions was ranked by National Journal in 2007 as the fifth-most conservative U.S. Senator, siding strongly with the Republican Party on political issues. He supported the major legislative efforts of the George W. Bush administration, including the 2001 and 2003 tax cut packages, the Iraq War, and a proposed national amendment to ban same-sex marriage.

“However, he was one of 25 senators to oppose the establishment of TARP. He has opposed the Democratic leadership since 2007 on most major legislation, including the stimulus bill, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, and the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell Repeal Act. As the ranking Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, he opposed both of President Barack Obama’s nominees for the Supreme Court.

“Sessions has taken a strong stand against any form of citizenship for illegal immigrants. Sessions was one of the most vocal critics of the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2007. He is a supporter of E-Verify, the federal database that allows businesses to electronically verify the immigration status of potential new hires,[28] and has advocated for expanded construction of a Southern border fence.[29]

“Sessions voted for the 2001 and 2003 Bush tax cuts, and said he would vote to make them permanent if given the chance.[30]

“In 2006, Sessions received the “Guardian of Small Business” award from the National Federation of Independent Business.

“He voted for an amendment to the 2008 budget resolution, offered by Republican Senator Jim DeMint of South Carolina, which would have placed a one-year moratorium on the practice of earmarking.

“Sessions was one of 25 senators to vote against the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (the bank bailout), arguing that it “undermines our heritage of law and order, and is an affront to the principle of separation of powers.”[31]

‘Sessions opposed the $837 billion stimulus bill, calling it “the largest spending bill in the history of the republic.”[32] He also expressed skepticism about the $447 billion jobs bill recently proposed by President Obama, and disputed the notion that the bill would be paid for and not add to the national debt.[33]

‘Sessions has been an opponent of same-sex marriage and has earned a zero rating from the Human Rights Campaign, the United States’ largest LGBT Advocacy group, for the 108th, 109th, and 110th Congress.[34] He voted against the Matthew Shepard Act, which added acts of bias-motivated violence based on sexual orientation and gender identity to federal hate-crimes law,[35] and a congressional resolution calling on members of the Ugandan Parliament to reject the proposed “Kill-the-Gays Bill.”[34] Sessions voted in favor of advancing the Federal Marriage Amendment in 2004 and 2006.[35]

“His website states that he believes that “a marriage is union between a man and women.”[36] On December 18, 2010, Sessions voted against the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell Repeal Act of 2010.[37]

“Sessions has also said regarding the appointment of a gay Supreme Court justice, “I do not think that a person who acknowledges that they have gay tendencies is disqualified, per se, for the job”[38] but that “it would be a big concern that the American people might feel uneasy about.”[39]

“Sessions opposed President Barack Obama’s health reform legislation; he voted against the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act in December 2009,[40] and he voted against the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010.[41]

“Following Senator Ted Cruz’s 21-hour speech opposing the Affordable Care Act, Sessions joined Cruz and 17 other Senators in a failed vote against cloture on a comprehensive government funding bill that would have continued funding healthcare reform. [42]

The problem, Mr. Corleone, is that the person you describe is condescendingly referred to as a ‘purist’. And everyone from Ann Coulter to Karl Rove will work to squash any hope of said purist to make a serious run. What's more, no one, whether rank-and-file Republicans or so-called conservative politicians, has an appetite to form a viable third party. So we are stuck.

A strong and powerful United States as leader of the free world is no longer in vogue you see. Being the land of the free and home of the brave doesn't hold any appeal to those with power and/or influence.
