...”In this; only ONE candidate ‘gets it’. His name is Newt”...
You are so right but dumbed down America doesn’t admire and respect knowledge and insight into what keeps us free. Were our forefathers perfect in their personal lives..NO! Will anyone out there ever be such that a corrupt media could not find or make up something about that person to ruin them? NO..You have to look at the whole life and the whole person and by all means, assess who their enemies are. That will tell you the most about their character. I do not believe this will be changed in any way short of God’s hand or war..The corrupt are too violent and threatening for a morally rudderless society to look up and say, “Enough,” and they are in charge. I ask myself every day whether we are already under a dictatorship. I really don’t know..The next few months will tell us whether we are headed to become like Venezuela.
Of course we are ready. It has recently become quite apparent that even conservatives are susceptible to idol worship. Personality trumps all. No experience? Great! Then we can infer whatever qualities we want to see, project conservatism or competence or genius on the blank screen. A politician has only to claim he "can do," and recite the credo we want to hear, and we believe.
Venezuela; a very real possibility. Obama admires China a great deal as well; particularly the Maoist MO’s/elements.
