"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton

 

"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan

 

"A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792

 

"It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams

 

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

 

" Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost." - John Quincy Adams

More crap from the WS.

Vietnam Veterans Plaza, also known as the New York Vietnam Veterans Memorial, is an American memorial plaza in the Manhattan borough of New York City, New York. It honors New York City citizens who served during the 20th-century Vietnam War.

Businessman Donald Trump donated $1 million to build the memorial in 1983. It was dedicated in 1985 by then-Mayor Edward I. Koch to honor the 1,741 citizens of the city who died during the Vietnam War and the 250,000 men and women who served between 1964 and 1975.

Right, they should trust Goldman Sachs. Because nothing says I support you like selling out the country you fought for a few campaign dollars.

Based on your title, Veterans Shouldn’t Trust Trump, didn’t read your BS.

Trump for President.

Consider that as recently as 2004, before he felt a need for their votes, Trump was pursuing his own private jihad against veterans


Tell me how you really feel, Weekly Standard. I only skimmed after this obvious line of bias. Since I can’t trust the source at all because of the BS in the first paragraph, best I can tell is that Trump wanted to get bums off the sidewalk in front of his building, and at least one of them, maybe, possibly, was a veteran.

YAWN. I wouldn’t let a homeless guy sh*t on my lawn just because he was a veteran either.

You know what I do notice though? Trump is the only candidate who brings up vets in pretty much EVERY appearance he makes. They are a small slice of the electorate, so he has no reason to focus on them for huge vote counts. In fact, it’s the other candidates who just toss out an occasional mention once in awhile (I guess to prove the very basic qualification of not hating the military), that’s more insulting.

No articles about that though.

When Trump said he’d run as a republican because their voters are the most gullible and easy to manipulate—he was right apparently
