Liberalism is a cancer that needs to be eradicated but unfortunately I think it’s reached stage 4.

“Senator Ted Cruz’s new book accurately describes how our nation’s government, in collusion with universities, media, and bureaucracies became a breeding ground for the mentality of central control.” -Jay Davidson

We the People must overcome the current mindset we see displayed here.
Ted Cruz, who serves in Congress (the law makers) says that the government we have is broken.
What does he do?
He writes a book.
Which is then written about by many Washington DC conservative journalists for consumption by Washington DC conservative journalists.
Some of us fly-over We the People are cajoled to go buy Sen, Cruz’s book.
But, mostly it is Cruz’s political allies, family and friends.
Cruz’s campaign sees this as affirmation of his position in congress (potential votes).

Books don’t solve this mess and making Ted Cruz richer is not a short-term fix.
This is a cycle that needs to be broken.
Sen Cruz get the royalties.

I live in a medium size city with a growing homelessness problem. Politically it is moving to the left with a council, and now a new mayor, who are dogmatic leftists. I recently found out how they are going to deal with homelessness which means, of course, how they will make it worse. Their answer is to over regulate and over tax providers of low cost housing; landlords. They have a program that is going to tax each unit of housing, every employee, and an oppressive and costly enforcement program with heavy fines for not maintaining the property in a pristine state. The result is multi unit apartments are being converted into condos and are being sold, or they are being turned into parking lots. Those who remain are being priced out of the low cost market. This is how Seattle, Portland and other cities have been turned into dung heaps and are getting worse. And they will never learn.

That’s how leftists / communists operate. They do not create. They infiltrate. They destroy. Normal decent people create something nice like Boy Scouts and satanic leftists and fags infiltrate because they want to corrupt and destroy.

I’m curioius if Lyin’ Ted mentions anything about his dad hanging out with Lee Harvey Oswald... probably not.

America had to be created via a big fight and the shedding of blood.

I do not see its re-creation without more bloodshed.

Tyrants NEVER relinquish power without a bloody fight to force them out of power.

The U.S. Constitution was supposed to create a system to peacefully enforce fairness, God-given rights and changes in leadership.

The American system has been so thoroughly corrupted by wicked people who refuse to bend to the will of the people, I see nothing short of an all-out battle to restore and enforce the principles of the U.S. Constitution.

Sociopaths are drawn to government as flies to scat.

“mentality of central control”

Large corporations like to have one set of rules and would like it to span the globe.

People like power. Refer to Bill Clinton to understand the sexual and economic advantages of power.

The Constitution has a number of flaws and will not save us.

The Constitution gives the government unlimited taxing power.

States have almost absolute power as DJT is learning.

“wealth redistribution”

“The Congress shall have the power to dispose of the territory or other property belonging to the United States”

Article IV, Section 3

Today it’s your income, by next April 15th it’s Uncle Sam’s and by the following April 15th it’s a Biden voter’s stuff.

Governments need to be forced to compete.

If most Americans spoke Spanish and English then governments in North and South America would all have to compete.

This is what libertarians hope to create with open borders, however, open borders need to come after we have the ability to benefit ourselves and not before.
