I’ve resented anyone telling me how I should live my life since I was a teenager. I’ve always felt that you should be free to destroy yourself with alcohol, drugs, sex or gambling, just don’t require me to support the disasters that result. Any obligation I have in that regard comes from my relationship with God, not from any contract drawn up by man.
I waited for 16 years from Barry Goldwater’s defeat to Ronald Reagan’s victory for a supposedly true conservative to take over the Oval Office. In the meantime, I had to make due with William F. Buckley’s largely symbolic campaign for Mayor of New York and Richard Nixon’s rediscovery of his own conservative roots.
Ronald Reagan went to Washington vowing to terminate the brand new Departments of Education & Energy. Their original staffers have now long since retired with full government pensions paid by guess who?
Supposedly conservative Republicans have given us the EPA & BATFE, though it had antecedents, RICO, civil forfeiture & Medicare Part D. We have also long since passed the point where there are more people employed by The Department of Agriculture than there are working in farming.
I worry when someone can have his property seized before he’s found guilty of a crime. I worry when a prosecutor opines that the only limits to application of the RICO ACT is his imagination. I worry when a stockbroker can draw a longer sentence for a securities fraud than for vehicular manslaughter. I worry when it’s estimated that the average citizen commits three felonies a day simply by getting out of bed, going to work & coming home. I worry that a citizen like Martha Stewart can be sent to prison for one wrong statement to one FBI agent once, while government officials blithely incinerate 80 people, including many children, at the compound of a weird religious sect in Waco, Texas.
So why vote for Trump? Look what eight years of Ronald Reagan’s making nice with Thomas ‘TIP’ O’Neill did. Reagan regarded opponents as misguided. They weren’t & aren’t. Reagan pushed hard for tax reduction but the Democrats refused to reduce spending, hence our soaring deficits and national debt.
Maybe rank & file Democrats are misguided but the party leaders are committed socialists and to bringing as much of American life under government control as possible. If there is any human problem, they regard it as within government’s purview to solve it and if there is no obvious problem, to find one; hence Hillary’s warning about the ‘silent crisis’ of day care. It was so silent that no one knew about it. Progressives have no principles other than that.
The exact limit for government is debatable but Richard Nixon, as astute a political observer as ever existed, said that we must never reach a point where taxes are more than 50% of income. If the Democrats have their way, that limit is sure to be tested.
What has alarmed me most about this campaign is not the candidacy of declared socialist Bernie Sanders but the lack of protests about it. There has not been a peep from any Democrat nor have the media asked him about it. No one has used the term socialist with the opprobrium it deserves.
No one has brought up the early socialism of Benito Mussolini which evolved into his Fascism nor the National Socialism of Adolf Hitler, the Soviet Socialism of Vladimir Ulyanov Lenin, Josif Stalin & Nikita Khrushchev nor the socialism of Fidel Castro. They should be nailing Sanders about it.
No one has challenged Sanders to differentiate himself from them. Worse, Democratic National Chairman Deborah Schultz Wasserman couldn’t herself differentiate the Democrats from the socialists. She descended into incoherence. That is understandable; progressivism & socialism are one & the same.
I anticipate Donald Trump will make the socialism of the Democratic an issue & that he will hang it around the necks of the Democrats, no matter whom they nominate. This is very long overdue. You can’t make nice with them. Progressives aren’t nice people. Republicans have played this game a way too long.
Freedom should be the issue. Prosperity is the result, not the goal. Without private property, inviolate of government intrusions, freedom and prosperity are impossible. The entire agenda of progressivism and the Democratic Party, has been the destruction of freedom and private property. Prosperity is impossible under their aegis.
If all you do is obstruct new programs and not challenge the old ones, you just legitimize them and they become permanent fixtures as so many are now. This has been the M.O. of the Republican Party for decades.
I don’t know if Donald Trump can do much about this but I’m tired of voting for people who say they will & their ‘solutions’ wind up co-opting more of my freedom. I’m tired of Republicans citing that they ‘saved Medicare & Social Security’ for their campaigns. I want challenges to their very existence and that of the EPA, EEOC, OSHA, BATFE and even the FBI, CIA, NSA, etc.
I don’t know if a President Trump will do it but the other ‘Republicans’ have had their chances & failed. I want progressives to have to negotiate with him. It doesn’t pay to be nice to liars, thieves & thugs.
It is time for patriots to protect this man, the only one in a gutless party, apparently.
The Democratmedia and its stooges (Cruz) will amp up the attempts to destroy him and hit him with nonsensical law suits, gotcha questions and attacks on his rallies.
If they destroy him, there will be NO one standing in continued control by the Left. Cruz would be brushed aside like an annoying fly by the Party of Treason
Your first one was more worthy of DU, but nice try!
Vote Ted Cruz. He doesn’t know what to do but he knows Trump does. :-)
You're a funny person but I hope you will run along back too DU.
Too?
Nah, like I said, they kick out the professional contrarians, unlike here at FR.
you post a photo and then extract a fiction, a lie.
Among those that live real lives, they circulate and meet all sorts of people, even those with whom the disagree. Remember, trump purchased Hillary with campaign contributions and maybe even an expensive grand baby present.
This photo and the lie is the same as the Newt on the couch photo with Pelosi....a lie told by folks that seldom see the real world from the vantahe under their rock
Vote Ted Cruz, only He can stop Hillary and Trump from destroying America :)
” I want progressives to have to negotiate with him. “
I love it ! “ Get um out of here “ , while they are dragged , kicking and screaming off to forced labor camps .
Give them a taste of the socialist/communist utopia they have always pressure for .
som num na
Trump has been a BUSINESSMAN all of his life, and as such worked with people on both sides of the isle, unlike the Cruz who cannot get along with anyone, and is universally disliked in Washington D.C. So, who is going to get more done? IMO. it would be Trump.
Oops, wait a minute. You may have made an honest mistake.
I did not make the statement to which you replied.
Ted Cruz campaign slogan: Whatever Donald says. :-)
I heard they were wife-swapping.
But if its not true then Trump should go to court to prove it.
Exhibit A
Post 36. Cruz can’t save his reputation never mind America.
Trump has been too open and it MIGHT have cost him. However, the spectacle of the gigantic media pile-on may not hurt him, certainly not among his supporters who recognize the motives and malice behind the question. It was acting like he said he would declare WWIII. (That won’t be far down the road).
This was the only mistake he has made with the media but can be rectified by returning to attacks on the media’s motives and credibility. Won’t be that hard.
Curb your glee, no campaign can sustain a meteoric rise like Trump’s has been without a stumble or two. There will be setbacks and mistakes made.
LOL NOBODY who knows anything about Trump would believe that.
I don't want another GOP sellout who does Dems bidding.
Obama ‘got alot done’, it was terrible.
Vote Cruz to save us from Trump.
Cruz on back to Texas, Ted. You gave it your best shot!

THE DELEGATE RACE MATH ~ 35% of the primary election race remains.
Trump won 7,825,264 votes -—> 755 delegates.
T.Cruz won 5,737,119 votes —-> 465 delegates.
~~Countdown to 1237 delegates~~
There are 895 hard delegates remaining of which some are free/soft delegates. Some delegates have already been won by other candidates. We have 808 new delegates ‘up for grabs’ in the upcoming races.
Donald Trump: 755 delegates won. He must win 482 more delegates to reach 1237. That is 59% of the 808 remaining hard delegates. He may lose 397 more delegates & still win 1237.
Ted Cruz: 465 delegates won. He must win 772 more delegates to reach 1237. That is 96% of the 808 remaining hard delegates. He may lose 36 more delegates & still win 1237.
The current rules set a goal of reaching a simple majority of the delegates combined with a majority win of eight state delegations. When no candidate earns the majority of delegates, the rules change significantly.
War came to Chicago and Cruz joined the enemy. He is an utter fraud.
I kinda like the term that they’re using for Trump supporters on campus, “Trumplicans”.
you heard?
