In a fiefdom, the lord is obligated to protect the land and the serfs in exchange for their service. Our government does not do that anymore....

Nor should they. We don't serve the government. The Founders had the exact opposite in mind.

As opposed to whom?

Politicians of just about every stripe have gone to Washington, surrendered their principles and most of their marbles at the border, and proceeded to create an oligarchy against the people that elected them.

I do not support Trump for policy reasons. I do support his efforts to undermine and defang the media cabal that wants to rule over us with our acquiescence. He speaks what many conservatives feel.

I tend to agree with him on this. I don’t think too highly of Paul, but Trump unsettles me. I find myself wondering if he understands the role of the executive branch- if he understands he can’t simply “take the oil for our country”.(after he destroys ISIS) What oil? From which countries? What oil does ISIS control and what makes Trump think the country would give it to us if we destroyed ISIS?

I know, these are unimportant thoughts when there’s a revolution underway led by Trump. It makes me uneasy to listen to a man who seems to believe he can do as president what he does as a businessman.

After 8 years of a meglomaniac running and ruining our country, I’m not signing up for more. I LOVE that Trump is sirring up, shaking up and generally causing trouble for the GOP. Does that mean he’d be a great president? What is very worrisome to me is that he seems to believe everything is about him.

Speaking of fiefdoms, Paul, how’s that running for two office rule change especially for you coming?

Got to remember that Mr. Obama during the course of his two terms did just what Sen. Paul is afraid would happen under a possible Trump WH, create a fiefdom.

Well if you Mr. Paul, would stand up and tell it like it is to Boehner, like Senator Ted Cruz did to McConnell, people would look at you like you had some guts, but you look like your a ‘puppet girl’ to anyone around you....

Exactly. That’s what I meant about already having 8 years of it..

I’m trying to be relatively objective about Trump..I don’t respect adults who use name-calling as a tactic, or as seems with Trump- a damned strategy. At the same time he hasn’t been mistaken in his targets. But when I watch some on the right applaud Trump using tactics we abhor in the left I don’t know where we want this to end up.

I don’t see revenge working too well as a policy- though temporarily it’s soooo satisfying. The D.C. gang have earned our scorn and contempt- yet am not convinced The Trump Thing will effectively change their deeply entrenched ways.

I don’t doubt the ability of the GOP to misunderstand and misread the Trump support- they are beyond corrupt and stupid- they’re dense.

Well I know Rand Paul is frustrated because his campaign is going nowhere but really I think he needs to concentrate on running for his senate seat and just stay in the senate and do a good job there.

smh. That wasn’t the point. We are already a fiefdom. If you want to earn money, you have to pay for people who don’t work, you have to pay for studies to discover the perfect dildo size, you have to pay to make Elon Musk rich on green power boondoggles, you have to pay to murder babies, etc. The feudal lord already exists. DC does not care what you or I think. We have no representation in Washington. We elect those who promise to work for us, and they wind up working for Obama even before they are sworn in.

Rand Paul is “concerned” about a fiefdom, but it is already here and it is a despotic fiefdom that does not perform the basic functions of the lord of a fiefdom.

The nation that the founders created is long-dead. Ben Franklin knew what would happen when he answered, “A Republic, if you can keep it.” We didn’t keep it. We handed it over to people who think with their reproductive parts, to people with a Third-world “zero sum” mentality, and to sexual deviants (which includes heterosexual fornicators and adulterers). They did not want a Republic.

Rand Paul is such a wussy! He’s never made a fist in his life.

One big difference in the Pauls.


One difference I notice there do not seem to be so many Paulbots running around FR pimping for junior. I guess he’s not kooky enough for them?

What a jerk!

Exactly how does that differ from what we've had for the last 7 years?
And what we are certain to get in the next 4 if the White House Burglar and Perjurer becomes president?
