>>In short, to be a good conservative Republican all you needed to do is talk about less government while wearing a shield of professed morality. American first hasn’t been an issue since Reagan.<<

That is just one great point out of a totally on-target post.

The conservative catechism is not even internally consistent, since it has often been accompanied by increased military spending and even social spending. Only the libertarians are somewhat consistent, and that leaves them as useful idiots for the globalists (i.e., weaken military, open borders, so-called Free Trade).

The GOPe NEVER puts America first, and neither does the NR crowd or, sadly, most of the 2016 candidates. They put the catechism first . . . FOR WHAT I ASK YOU!? What is the benefit of small government if it means LOSING AMERICA? This is INSANE.

It has been very evident even here on FR. The solution to every problem is government. “But our laws are better” I have been told even when you explain how those laws will be used against us. There is not much difference between liberals and conservatives, sorry to say.

I support Trump for the reason that it might be a gentler revolution than the other options. We are way past liberal and social issues. There is no fixing our current situation, sad to say.

NOTHING WILL CHANGE UNTIL THE MONEY RUNS OUT. So, how does that happen? Hint: The USSR in recent history.

Folks, People disqualify Trump because he has been through several business bankruptcies. WELL, FOR THE RECORD, THE USA IS BANKRUPT AND WE NEED HIS SKILLS....................

I like the way you worded it.
