Jeb, old man, you couldn’t possibly be more wrong about the kind of strong leadership America needs.

No sense of entitlement is worse than a political sense of entitlement.

I certainly won’t vote for him, even if he makes it past the primaries. Enough of the liberal, socialist Bushes!

"I hope to visit with many of you and have a conversation about restoring the promise of America."

If you're serious about that, Mr. Bush, all you have to do is to begin to educate and "restore" the ideas and principles which set into motion the "promise" of America in its original philosophical statement--our "Declaration of Independence" of 1776--and the subsequent "Constitution of the United States of America" in 1787. After all, those ideas brought millions of oppressed people who longed for freedom to these shores.

If a Jeb Bush, or any other candidate, were to be able to successfully articulate to voters the ideas of those two founding documents so that the tyrannical and coercive "counterfeit ideas" of so-called "progressives" were exposed, then perhaps what he calls "the promise of America" might be restored.

Note to Mr. Bush: Perhaps the name, "Gruber," may be a starting point. After that, the 85 essays of The Federalist, explaining in detail the principles underlying that Constitution, which were intended to enlighten "the People" in the States as to the underpinnings of their liberty and their role as "keepers" of the Constitution (Justice Story)

The following is excerpted from "Our Ageless Constitution," p. 181, in an essay entitled, "Will the Great American Experiment Succeed?":

"It was John Adams who said: "The foundation of every government is some principle or passion in the minds of the people." Clearly, the Founders' passion was liberty, and in order to secure that liberty, they sought out and incor­porated into the United States Constitution those ideas and principles embodied in the Declaration of Independence.

"The French historian, Guizot, once asked James Russell Lowell, "How long will the American republic endure?"

Lowell replied: "As long as the IDEAS of the men who founded it continue dominant."

"Herein lies the answer to the question, "Will the Experiment Succeed?"

"It can and will succeed IF the motivating "principle or passion in the minds of the people" is LIBERTY, and if that passion causes them to exert the determination and will to complete the needed restoration of the IDEAS upon which the great American experiment was based." ---(End of excerpted material)

>> In the coming months, I hope to visit with many of you and have a conversation about restoring the promise of America.

I’ll bet that shallow one-sided conversation will mostly be about demanding our money... right Jeb? After all, you don’t really care about what we think; you already know what’s best for us.

>> Onward, Jeb Bush

Up yours, Jeb Bush.
