I certainly hope none of these people are in charge of anything.

They are hysterical.

So let’s get this translated:

We are the asshats who got us in this mess and don’t effectively oppose Obama and his minions, and we know we’ve lied to you again and again, but like a battered wife you keep coming back to the ol’ GOP. We like our gig, so please believe us just one more time. Honest. This time we are putting the country ahead of our own interests. Honest.

Trump doesn’t speak in soundbites, or live by the teleprompter. He sounds like you, not us, so he’s an idiot.

We have to screw you in international trade deals or we’ll offend other nations.

Torture used on head-chopping fanatics who want to kill us wholesale is bad, even if our own guys undergo it in training.

Speaking openly of Islamic violence might offend Muslims abroad and at home. We’ll send your kids overseas to kill a few now and then, but hurt their feelings? Can’t happen.

You can’t have a wall. Might hurt the cheap labor market.

Our allies can continue to get a free ride courtesy of the US military and you taxpayers that fund it.

Trump’s admiration of strong leadership makes us wet ourselves, and we can’t figure out that admiring a strong leader doesn’t mean endorsing his methods. Well, we can, but we’re hoping you’re too stupid to do so. Obama twice, remember?

He lies. Take it from us, we’re experts.

Just ‘cause he gets things done doesn’t mean he can get things done.

As party before patriotism traitors, we don’t like it when he kicks our ass and threatens our rice bowl. We are all in to destroy him and make sure you puke little voters shut the Hell up.

I agree. It is obvious that these politicians who have time after time sold their vote to the highest bidder are totally unqualified to represent us the American citizens. We have heard the RNC and everyone one of these low life’s promise us that if we just give them this they we will do this and that. We have seen them lie as they have done nothing they promised and never will. I am damn sick and tired of these professional con artists doing nothing except enriching themselves while our country is repeatedly sold off piece by piece to the highest bidder and they do zip as long as they get their cut.

Honest to goodness, is this crap for real? Ike mentioned the military-industrial complex.

He would be overwhelmed at what we are facing now.

People are more scared of an outsider than they are about 19T in debt and millions of more invading our country.

Yup. We the people want the borders secured and the illegals deported. We want the law enforced, dump the sanctuary cities and dump the anchor babies. Stop the illegal alien invasion and stop the Muslim invasion and attempted colonization of America. And we truly do want to bomb the shit out of ISIS, then get the hell out. But no nukes for Iran. And those who kidnap Americans (or commit acts of terrorism/war against us) should get the snot kicked out of them by the strongest military in the world. No pussyfooting around. And we want our freedom back. Cut the unconstitutional socialism crap and the federal overreaching! Cut the taxes, cut the spending, cut the regulations, cut the government, cut the debt, cut the corruption! Do whatever it takes to straighten out the loser trade deals, bring back capital, bring back manufacturing, bring back jobs! Stop the idiotic war on coal, gas & oil, stop harassing our mining, logging, drilling, farming, ranching, fishing, industrial and manufacturing industries. Knock off the global warming malarkey, cut the globalism, quit trying to take our guns! Set our people free to produce and prosper and worship in peace.

Effing big government RINOs should not be seen or heard.

Go, Trump, GO!!

This is the kind of fighting spirit that has stymied Obama at every turn! Oh, wait.

But we are united in our opposition to a Donald Trump presidency.

Need read little more beyond this silly assertion. These foolish people are assigning words and positions to Donald Trump that most likely are plain wrong.

They are showing no common sense. Better that they said nothing rather than making fools of themselves!

  Other than the reference in this open letter, the organization doesn't have any other Google results.

  On the other hand, Google results for the site FreeRepublic.com show that we have existed for much longer than 6 hours.

  I'm thinking about creating an organization to denounce Trump (even though I like Trump, I just would like to have some instant credibility with the liberal media). Anyway, "The Evil Mystics of Nowhere" would like to denounce Trump and all of his supporters.

The Evil Mystics of Nowhere Condemn Presidential Candidate Donald Trump

My take is simple:

Here is a man who cannot be bought/manipulated/controlled, and thus is not a reliable candidate to push the GOPe agenda, which now is a leftist/crony capitalist agenda focused on reducing American citizens to mere serfs with a far lower standard of living.

The donor class and the power elite must be pooping themselves right now: a motivated electorate is the biggest hurdle to their agenda.

That is the greatest value Trump brings to the table: He is upsetting the paradigm. If nothing else, he has reset the game for many years to come, hopefully.

What are you doing up so early/in the middle of the night?

What is interesting in this letter is that they are guilty of the very unhelpful posturing they are accusing Trump of. This does not appear to be a serious document by serious people (North Korea, really?!) if they wanted to offer critique and not blow smoke into an already hazy political landscape, that would have been useful.

All of this “vetting”, false or not, should have been done 7 years ago by the media, for the nominee. No matter what Pelosi signed off on.

You hit upon a salient point: we are actually at the point where our country is being sold off to foreign interests.
The Bundy Ranch standoff/Russian uranium scam is merely the latest example.

Rural people are getting herded into the cities, as per the plan. I used to think Agenda 21 was a conspiracy theory. It is not.

Eliot Cohen, counselor of the Department of State during President George W. Bush’s administration

Cohen clarified that he would vote for Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton over Trump if those were his only options. He also organized a response via open letter that was signed by 60 members of the Republican national security community “united in our opposition to a Donald Trump presidency.”

http://www.politico.com/story/2016/03/trump-clinton-neoconservatives-220151#ixzz41pcmR9Ty

Cohen helped to organize an open letter signed by several dozen GOP foreign policy insiders — many of whom are not considered neocons — that was published Wednesday night by the military blog War on the Rocks. “[W]e are unable to support a Party ticket with Mr. Trump at its head,” the letter declared. It cited everything from Trump’s “admiration for foreign dictators” to his “inexcusable” support for “the expansive use of torture.”

The letter was signed by dozens of Republican foreign policy experts, including Boot; Peter Feaver, a former senior national security aide in George W. Bush’s White House; Robert Zoellick, a former deputy to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice; and Dov Zakheim, a former Bush Pentagon official; and Kori Schake, a fellow at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution and a former Bush State Department official.

The "Republican national security community." Not sure I'm familiar with that organization.

The Leftists create whatever official sounding name works and usually pretend to be the opposite of what they say they stand for to fool people into believing a lie. Its the new liberal / progressive standard. They've taken lying to a new level the last 7 years with a pathological liar who pretended to be Christian to get elected but is actually controlled by a Satanic moon god's earthbound servant (Soros)

"Dear Mr. Trump, We, the architects of everything you're running against, don't think you understand how, while America may "appear" to be naked, is actually clothed in the finest raiments in all the world, So much so, that we have it on highest authority, only fools would not be able to see the obvious splendor.

If Paul Harvey had ever done a "The Rest of The Story" on "The Emperor's New Clothes," it would look just like this "community's" letter.
