No, and I don’t think the electorate believes that Trump is a savior. He’s just so much better than the sniveling, treacherous GOPe with their rich power-hungry wives. (GOPe wives are rarely discussed, they are like Ahab’s wife, pulling strings behind the curtain). That’s why I like Trump’s wife. Her role is one of clarity—discreet arm candy. She may be the best First Lady yet—the easily replaced super model. She’s not going to dictate anything from the board of Fox—the way McConnell’s wife does.
The American Revolution was about fighting for unalienable rights endowed by our Creator. The French Revolution was about fighting for the rights of man. How did that turn out?
A lot of people don't seem to realize that the French Revolution resulted in a chain of events that was DISASTROUS for the French people.
For starters, the Revolution soon turned into the Reign of Terror when the revolutionaries turned on each other and nearly 50,000 "non-elites" were executed.
This was then followed by an endless series of wars that lasted throughout the 19th century which reduced France from a major world power to easy prey.
It wasn't until after World War II that any long-term political stability returned to France and economic stability has never really returned.
The fact of the matter is that the American Revolution is the ONLY revolution in the history of the world that resulted in a real and lasting change for the better.
..we got the Constitution. France got Robespierre, the guillotine, and Napoleon—guess which revolution was rooted in a Judeo-Christian worldview...
trust me...I certainly realize it....part of why I think Trump is such a horrific choice.
Trump is a big government liberal. All that drank the kool-aid will be tearing trump bumper stickers off their cars within 6-months of Inauguration Day.
Liberals? They are the ones fond of the word “revolution”, frankly, as they reject the phrase “Founding Fathers” in favor of “Founders”. And Wikipedia is one of the more liberal sources out there.
John MacKenzie’s website is a favorite for pro-Islamists too.
Look at Obama, he basically came in on a populist revolt making all sorts of promises to the middle class, and they've suffered for it.
La Guillotine... eh... she ees always thirsty, non?
That is why we are in the start of a second American Revolution. The start of taking America back.
I was just about to suggest that we start building some guillotines.
I might agree with you.
I did not vote for him.
But none of the “establishment” GOP candidates are any better.
Some of Trump’s endorsements make you weight that judgment. Sen. Sessions in AL? He is no dummy.
ComDems and GOPe are same. Both hate the voters, only interested in maintaining their power.
That's because France had a revolution, but the colonies had a reformation. The French wanted to tear down their government, but the Patriots originally wanted the government in London to recognize that they had the same rights as free people in Britain, and only declared independence when the Crown refused to recognize those rights.
Reformations, when done successfully, return societies to their original principles. Revolutions, by contrast, always start with the exhilarating overthrow, then collapse into chaos and then massacre, which brings on dictatorship to end the collapse.
One of the things that scares me about the present time is how blithely some people here dismiss the "side effects" of revolution, that if we just get someone to kick a$$ and take names everything will somehow go back to how it should be, when that is never what happens: it didn't happen with Caesar, it didn't happen with Robespierre, and it won't happen here.
Jesuits sealed Frances fate.
Re Trump’s wife. I think you might change your mind if you saw the clips of the interview this morning, I think it was with Mika. She is no wallflower and she will be a string-puller too.
Freedom is never negotiated. It is always won in battle.
Is there a path out of this without a war? Yes, I think there is. But we will not know for a while.
“How did that turn out?”
Many books have been written about that subject. But it is clear to see the results in the nations today.
Trump is a horrific choice, but the others are worse.
I’ll be voting for him.
I don’t know. Sometimes it makes me angry, sure. Especially when I think of all the contempt they must have for us behind the scenes while publicly they hide behind these milquetoast masks. But mostly it’s clarity. We always suspected, even pretty darn sure that the GOPe was against us, but the collaboration with the enemies of freedom over the past two years have brought it into plain view. We have been unrepresented.
