By the way, I am familiar with eminent domain. The state here built a new straight highway. This required them to cut a right-of -way through my grandpa’s large pasture. Extremely inconvenient, about five acres in all—never paid him a dime.
I haven’t picked a candidate so I’m not sure what this Cruz thing is about. Personally, I’m getting sick of all of them and primary season hasn’t begun.
The folks still for Cruz, (and I was for him once), will not touch the subject of his throwing his very considerable and important support to Barry on these America destroying’ trade’ things. They will not go near a discussion on that little topic.
Any candidate who admits to loving this country will quickly be Palinized into irrelevance; the “country” you referred to is gone, and pining for it is practically a crime.
When Obama was re-elected in 2012, the writing should have been on the wall for any “traditional” Americans; he was a complete failure, but enough people had subscribed to the progressive/socialist agenda to drag him across the finish line anyway. He was handed a victory by a media that successfully smeared his opponent as a straight wealthy Anglo male.
I'm philosophical and sad today. South Carolina, and to a great degree the rest of the US, was close to that kind of united moment because of disgust over the nine murders in a church. And what does the media do? Try to turn it into an argument about the confederate flag. That's a new level of disgusting manipulation by the media.
Didn’t know that. I was looking at their candidate and PAC spending.
Kelo is so bad that even Colmes could see it. The decision was just flat-out wrong. Everyone knows it.
It kind of ruined the old “Hannity and Colmes” show for a bit, watching them agree on Kelo. They weren’t paid to agree.
Cheers.
Good post.
I agree that an “American Putin” is needed; at this point the best one can hope for is getting one as a governor. I’ve posted for a long time that this country was emptying of Americans rapidly, and that the 2050 projections of a white minority were absolutely bogus (probably based on 1950s birthrates). The fact is that I started having children over a dozen years ago, and out of twenty babies in a maternity ward two were white, two were black, one was Asian, and fifteen were Hispanic - and the hospital was in a “white” area. To get votes from those “replacement Americans”, a candidate could never be as patriotic as Putin.
I disagree. Human nature is universal. What we need is someone who raises ones confidence in their potential and their confidence in their nation and its leader.
Why do you think the dem media (and the most disgusting of the RINOs) turned the slaughter in Charleston to protests against the Confederate flag? People were coming together in their outrage and grief. So it got turned to a divisive issue.
Ask yourself: What would Trump have done? Maybe that should be our new standard to raise the bar.
I agree with your sentiment, but the reality is that enough American voters feel screwed economically that they are distrustful of the establishment they once hoped to prosper with. The Bolshevik media always has to create division and sensationalism to prevent unification; there are enough of the former middle class aligned with the malcontents now to elect Obama twice and make 2016 (which should be a Republican shoe-in) a competitive race. Frightened, financially insecure Americans who were repulsed by socialism 20 years ago are now embracing it - and the newcomers are all in with it.
Look at the ISIS pheonomena. With the toppling of those firm but somewhat fair dictators, the void was filled by the negative message from ISIS. There is no positive uplifting voice to fill that void.
Any candidate that inspires wwould have to be disposed of quickly by the media; Sarah Palin was an accomplished woman with political experience, and as such was ripped to shreds in “pop culture”. It was a terrifying display of media influence with low-information voters, who easily make up a large majority of the electorate.
ISIS IS the uplifting voice to its adherents.
Trump is used to the national stage and nobody's going to define him.
Trump has already been marginalized; he is ginning up publicity for a TV show.
Palin’s defenses simply weren’t aired; it is that easy to nullify a candidate. She wasn’t ideal, but she was better prepared than “president” Speak & Spell with his teleprompter. One couldn’t be more of a hollow puppet if he tried...
LOL
