Great.
A foreigner. It’s so funny how the excuse for him not knowing the names of books in the Bible, eg Two Corinthians, is that those are how they say them in other countries.
He’s not ignorant, he’s just a foreigner!
Can’t make this stuff up.
Actually, America first is pure Reagan. Shining city on the hill is all about America being first, foremost and always. Trump is the only one getting it right. America isn’t about being a dumping ground for the refuse of the world nor is it about once American corporations leaving for cheaper distant shores. It is about America being a shining example of what we can do as a country. In word and deed I only see that in Trump.
He said he was a New Yorker.
Trump is the first Garbage Pail Kid to run for president.
Is Trump the First “European-conservative†American Presidential Candidate?Label him any way you want, he's the best real American for the job.
I don’t care as much for Trump ideology (populism) as that he is a businessman and self-funded so he is not beholden to anyone. Most of his ideas are just common sense - what kind of bizarre world has been created in which enforcement of the borders is even an issue for any party?? If you don’t enforce your borders you don’t even HAVE a country!
I was just explaining this to a friend last weekend. We’ve outsourced so much work from this country that we can’t help but become a west-euro-socialist state. The younger generations (Mllennials and GenY) already are in a west-euro-socialist mindset.
Once socialism is inevitable, the only way to preserve your nation at all is nationalism (and if you think it isn’t inevitable, just imagine what happens if you turn off the EBT cards forever. 25% of the possible work force is out of work. Where do you plan to find them jobs?)
As Thatcher said, “the trouble with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people’s money”. Well, it sure lasts longer if you don’t have to give it to a steady stream of incoming foreigners.
Slowing or stopping the flow of Mexicans and Muslims is the only way to buy us enough time to fix our internal problems with jobs and demographics and our corporate human resource policies.
In other words, is he the first US Presidential candidate to wholesale oppose the Islamification of the USA?
Yes, I think that’s probably fair.
Whether you think that’s a good thing or not will depend on whether or not you view the threat as real or exaggerated.
Over the last 7 years, I think a case can be made that the threat is not only real, but severe.
His tastes in decorative arts run that way, and his tastes in women. Does that mean he would govern that way? Remains to be seen.
I disagree to an extent. I would say that
Conservatism aims to preserve values that are of lasting benefit while making incremental improvement;Liberal/progressivism seeks to overthrow existing systems to achieve immediate gratification of special interests.
This is a most worthy article. It truly explains the dilemma before us:
1) There are not likely enough believers in the JudeoChristian Absolute even to predict, much less secure, a Cruz victory;
2) A Trump victory would be a victory for received JudeoChristian cultural values but not necessarily religous or social values based in the eternal Absolute;
3) But the latter would be preferable to a victory for the OneWorld relativists selling us out to the Islamist tyranny of a false absolute.
What if you stopped calling yourself a conservative and instead just promised to make America great again?

Imagine giving this advice to a Republican presidential candidate: What if you stopped calling yourself a conservative and instead just promised to make America great again?
What if you dropped all this leftover 19th-century piety about the free market and promised to fight the elites who were selling out American jobs?
What if you just stopped talking about reforming Medicare and Social Security and instead said that the elites were failing to deliver better healthcare at a reasonable price?
What if, instead of vainly talking about restoring the place of religion in society something that appeals only to a narrow slice of Middle America. You simply promised to restore the Middle American core, the economic and cultural losers of globalization to their rightful place in America?
What if you said you would re store them as the chief clients of the American state under your watch, being mindful of their interests when regulating the economy or negotiating trade deals?

Excellent article.
Sacre Bleu, a bit hard to read with all the @#$%*$ symbols.
Exactly. Fretting over social issues while we're being turned into a Third World country is like worrying about a dripping faucet while your house is being floated off its foundation by a flood. The same applies to those who put fiscal issues ahead of the national question. People don't seem to realize that if the Third World invasion of America and Europe continues, there won't be any free market left to defend or de-regulate. America's economy will be a Mexican-style Padrone system while Europe will be under Sharia law. Not much room for deregulating the financial services sector in either.
