The Most Respected Institution in Our Country
American Thinker ^ | July 21, 2016 | William F. Marshall

Make America great again. Regardless of one’s view of the politics and personality of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, the power of the message he captured with that slogan cannot be denied. It encapsulates the view held by a large segment of our population, if not a majority, that America has fallen precipitously during the tenure of the current president. There is a visceral concern among many of us about our country’s financial stability, our physical security, and our nation’s long-term viability. As significantly, there is an inchoate sense that the people running our government are not similarly concerned about these issues, are hopelessly inept, and inexplicably implement policies that seem to exacerbate rather than lessen these concerns. A porous Southwest border, non-enforcement of our immigration laws, a Refugee Resettlement Program seemingly designed to import people from the jihadist nightmare of the Middle East with no possible hope of vetting them, deficit spending as far as the eye can see -- all odd policies in light of the low-level terror that keeps many of us awake at night. Add to that mass killings by domestic jihadists and ambush assassinations of our police officers, and we ask ourselves, “What is going on?”

Maybe healthy people who are on welfare shouldn’t be allowed to vote.

Maybe single mothers (never married) who have 3 kids shouldn’t be allowed to vote.

They have NO concern for the future of the country. Just the next check.

And maybe we could send everyone from 18 to 29 to Cuba or Venezuela for a week.

Might help.

Another idea about Trump’s brilliant campaign slogan:

Hillary’s Campaign Theme Should Be: “Make America GUILTY Again!”

Trump should use this phrase!!

Hillary Clinton must be getting so jealous of Donald Trump’s marketing brilliance with his hugely successful “Make America GREAT Again” campaign theme.

At the Republican Convention, Trump’s campaign theme brilliance was further embellished: Each day of the RNC schedule was focused on four cohesive sub-themes of “Make America Great Again.”

. Monday: Make America Safe Again
. Tuesday: Make America Work Again
. Wednesday: Make America First Again
. Thursday: Make America One Again

This shows a great ability to organize & strategize – traits that will make for good leadership later. And traits desperately lacking on the Left.

So, really, isn’t it time Hillary comes up with a catchy campaign theme that encapsulates her political philosophy? How about “Make America GUILTY Again!”

After all, her entire campaign can be distilled into the following GUILT themes.

. “Make Corporations GUILTY Again”
. “Make White Males GUILTY again”
. “Make the US Military GUILTY again”
. “Make our Borders GUILTY Again”
. “Make our Police GUILTY again”
. “Make Liberty GUILTY again”
. “Make Capitalism GUILTY again.”
. “Make Successful People GUILTY again and again and again.”

The foregoing is the essence of the Clinton/Obama legacy. Notice how these thugs NEVER COMPLIMENT America. Never!

In reality, it is the “Greedy Liberals” who should be declared GUILTY for wanting to steal other people’s money for their various socioeconomic fascist agendas. After all, their programs require the implied use of government force on otherwise free individuals (e.g. if you do not pay your taxes to support their socioeconomic fascist agendas, someone will come with a gun to your house and take you to jail).

Compare Trump’s campaign theme to other recent democratic campaign slogans:

. The condescending “It’s the economy, Stupid!” theme concocted by the almost sub-human James Carville for Slick Willie Clinton’s campaign.

. The vacuous “Hope & Change” theme adopted by Obama managed to suck in a lot of gullible Obama Kool-Aid drinking sheeple.

. Hillary’s “Stronger Together” them is bland and unpatriotic. It does nothing to celebrate the individual and is all about collectivism/socialism. . And Hillary’s “I’m with her” theme is just laughable. What does that have to do with running the most powerful country in the world?

None of these campaign themes come close to matching Trump’s theme of optimism. This is the same recipe that won Ronald Reagan his re-election with his “Morning in America” theme.

The Republican National Convention has been a celebration of optimism for America and a “can-do” attitude.

In contrast, the Democrat convention will be a celebration of whining negativity and grievances from their loose aggregation of GREEDY special interest victim groups (socialists, anti-racist racists, and feminazis).

Ironically, it is the LEFT that is the GREEDY party because they want to use government to steal from productive members in society to fund their socioeconomic fascist agenda.

The most respected institution in the country is, as the author points out, the military. That actually increases the likelihood of a coup if, as I suspect, this country begins an accelerating downward trajectory.

Since Obama faggotized the armed forces and just about any decent leaders have long since been purged, any respect or confidence I once had in the military is quite dissipated.

Here is a very simple way to determine whether or not you can vote and, if you can vote, the weight associated with that vote.

Note that this applies in the current socialistic/welfare state. It eventually auto-corrects the direction of the country from an welfare state when parasites cannot vote for freebies, using OTHER peoples’ money.

You are allowed to vote ONLY if the your taxes paid (based on the tax forms) is GREATER than the average per capita tax revenue of the Government. If you pay less than the average tax for your State, you do not have the PRIVILEGE of voting. If you pay less than the average Federal tax, you do not have the PRIVILEGE of voting.

Basically, if you pay less than the average, you have no business voting. It rewards parasitic behavior. Since everybody votes for their own interest, the parasites should be kept in check.

Similarly, those that pay twice the average, for instance, their vote should be weighted accordingly. Perhaps give them 2 ballots. If you pay 10 times the average, you are certainly a worthy individual and you should be given fair voting weight. Fair is fair.

That is all.

“I hope there’s as many conservative billionaires as liberal ones :)”

I doubt libtards pay taxes. Even if they are billionaires. They probably funnel it to offshore accounts or “donate” to fraud charities.

So here's the answer to the implicit question in the headline?

Very poor post.

Is that a REAL picture...

It occurred on a college campus during an emphasis week on rape awareness and the uniformed individuals are in Army ROTC. You paint with too broad of a brush on who can guard the country. Personally, my objection is with the Army officer who allowed the cadets to be out of uniform while trying to accommodate campus PC. To draw any conclusion beyond that is a stretch, IMO.

Anyone on public assistance (welfare) loses the right to vote.

If you are on welfare you are unable to take care of yourself, so, in exchange for being take care by the state you are effectively a child and therefore can’t vote.

(Besides, today there is a conflict of interest issue. . .if you are on welfare your vote is bought by the politician that promises you a raise).
