Great article, by Patrick J Buchanan.

From link.....

The crisis that South Carolina statesman John C. Calhoun had posthumously predicted in his “Disquisition on Government” has also come to pass.

The country would divide into two parties, Calhoun said. One would be the party of those who pay the taxes to government, the other the party of those who consume the benefits of government.

The taxpayers’ party would engage in constant clashes with the party of the tax-consumers.

In 2013, the top 1 percent of Americans in income paid 38 percent of all income taxes. The bottom 50 percent of income-earners, half the nation, paid only 3 percent of all income taxes.

A question logically follows: If one belongs to that third of the nation that pays no income taxes but receives copious benefits, why would you vote for a party that will cut taxes you don’t pay, but take away benefits you do receive?

Obama and Hillary are directly to blame for the deaths already and those to come of any Islamic attacks on our citizens...as well all that surrounds the refugees and their attacks on peoples of their host nations.

To say they have blood on their hands is an understatement....it was in their power to agree to settlements time and again that ONLY they were the only ones who refused to agree.....

I don't know if it's hate i so often fell toward the Obama and Hillary administrations....or it's just knowing they have no concern for peoples life's at all, including those here. But I can see them as nothing but orchestrator's of death throughout the world and cause of.

Most of the articles that find their way to the "UNZ Review" are very high in philosophical quality.

A thinkers web page on the political right.

Cheers!
