Seems like the anti-Trumps are in a race for the most over-the-top utterances. And I am not anti-Cruz in saying that. Just that I see us snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. We have the GOP-E on the ropes for a change, and what are we doing? Raining body blows on each other instead of delivering a finishing punch to the GOP-E.
I heard a lot of complaining. I heard no solution.
I could have written this myself. The problem isn’t Washington or some conspiracy. The problem is with the citizenry at large, including all of us to lesser or greater extent.
If it ends up Clinton vs Trump or Sanders vs Trump, we will be assured of a liberal in the White House. All three are quite different but all are liberals.
Speak for yourself. Some of us have a rational morality and are willing to pronounce objective moral judgment, such as against all aspects of libtardism, illegal immigrantion, and mohammedumism.
This one, you get a total pass on. KILL KILL KILL THE UPPITY BLOGGER, he really DOES think he’s better than us.
I wish I was a follower of this blog, so I could unsubscribe.
Trump is a result of conservatism not working for conservatives. Now we are starting to look for something else to at least salvage something from what appears to be lost.
Apathy kills republics dead and the progressives have been playing right into that o9ver the last 100 years.
They first de-powered the states as an entity in the fed gov by removing senators as “state ambassadors” this removed a LOT of citizen involvement in the state level side of things towards a more national bent.
Why vote for state reps and state senators if they can be overruled anyways????
Then they put in the National Income Tax which moved the majority of government money from state level to FEDERAL level... and where money goes... power will follow...
Then the 19th suffrage amendment instantly put a lot of non-working women on the voter roles who could now increase the demand for “benefits” and emotional plays for power into play for the progressives. While giving women voting rights in my opinion wasn’t a bad thing ( I do like to vote) , at the time the immediate influx of a new and manipulable voting base helped cement in a LOT of progressive policies that plague us today. I think only those who contribute to funding the government should be the only ones that get to vote as anyone who doesn’t pay taxes will always vote for money they never earn nor deserve.
It also caused a lot of inter-familiar conflict as the husband the breadwinner would be forced to vote against his wife and vice versa... So some breadwinners stopped voting to help preserve the family peace...
This Citizen apathy is both NATURALLY inherent and in the last 100 years BY DESIGN...
I have asked Fed folks if they know how upset people are. The answer was yes. So, the saga continues...
Another half wit blog pimp heard from. Thanks for wasted bandwidth, Theo.
You seem to be under the illusion that voting for a president will change something. Until the behemoth fedgov bureaucracy is dismantled and the power taken back by us via Congress, nothing will change. Congress gave away our power and continues to do so. Voting for a figure-head is irrelevant.
Sometimes it seems like folks on FR think most voters are just like them and I beg to differ.
If conservatives were anywhere near the majority of the political right, then I seriously doubt we would continue to have the likes of Boehner, McConnell, McCain, Graham, etc *inflicted* upon us term after term after term...
Conservatives are, for now, a rather small minority within the political right. I *hope* conservatism is catching fire, but it certainly does not appear to be doing so in this election season. We still have much work to do to grow conservatism. Hence: Instead of the govt we need, we will continue to be stuck with the govt we deserve for awhile longer - perhaps generations.
I’m in favor of a poll test. Something that delineates between people that understand the Constitution and basic civics and those that do not.
Problem solved.
Okay Matty. Who do you want me to vote for?
God, this is so right. Most of you spend your time attacking people who have the same hopes for this country’s future . You want illegals stopped at the border, good paying jobs with American companies, lower taxes, less government, but instead of picking on the big government candidates you sit and attack those who may have the same goals but a slightly different way to get there. There’s hate, vitriol and rudeness. FreeRepublic has turned into a Free for all for insults and attacks.
This forum has been ruined and I wish some of you had that much enthusiasm to taking out Hillary or Sanders.
In the 19th century they had a term for the guy who wrote this crap—scribbler. Scribblers were not given the right to vote until much later. In the 19th century only land owners or property holders had the vote. Boy did we screw up.
