I posted this article to FB with this preface: As cogent a summary of this election as I've seen. Upon reading, my progressive/liberal friends should be grinning with glee and my conservative friends should be engaging in some serious soul searching. I hope as fellow countrymen we all seriously consider the current state of affairs and the fork in the road. The metaphorical balloon payment on our country is coming due soon; how best to survive it. Worth the read.

Long article. All one needs to know is this: At least 42% of the people support Hillary. To support such an obvious monster in any manner much less with this many people shows how far down the road to perdition this country has gone.

...then they must believe—mustn’t they?—that we are headed off a cliff.


Hence my move to central KY from Seattle in 2011.

I’m not as sanguine about our chances as the author. I agree with his final paragraph. It’s why I am were I am.

As I said in 2008, the problem is not the candidate. The problem is the electorate.

This is exactly how I look at this election. I know Trump isn’t a Conservative and I have very serious doubts about him, but I know Hillary will destroy this country. So once again I have to hold my nose and vote for the lesser of two evils. So Trump it is. It’s pathetic that out of the 17 Republican candidates, none of them were worth a damn. None of them were Conservatives. Once again we were handed a crap sandwich with nothing to wash it down.

At stake is half the Supreme Court who will rule for a generation.

As others have noted, the problem isn’t the nimrod in the White House, its half the American people who think he and the Clintons are the cat’s meow. And that can’t be fixed by winning one election.

The last time the stakes were near this high, there was a failed one-term Georgia governor in the White House.

Trump MAY be an unknown wild card, but Hillary is a known losing hand.

I’m reminded of the dwarf’s analysis of the situation in the third episode of Lord of the Rings: “Small chance of survival; or certain death. What are we waiting for?”

I see this as 1980 all over again, another crossroads election.

Someone should seek out Billy Ray Dale of the White House Travel Office, who Hillary tried to frame in order to "justify" her gift of the Travel Office's money flow in 1993 to some of her minions, and ask him what he thinks of an unprosecuted, malicious felon gaining control of the law enforcement apparatus of the United States.

Both Hillary and Big Bill have defecated on Jimmy Comey's fibbie desk. Wait'll till they're in charge...

Very well written, and totally slaps the hammer onto the nail. Hillary’s judges will DESTROY what is left of this Republic. Period. Trumps should Probably do a much better job. I will take the probably over the absolute destruction guaranteed by a Hillary victory.

This is an awesome piece. Long, very long, and equally rewarding.

Bookmarked.

“Cruz in 2024!”

Quit reading right there. If anyone thinks that “Globalist Cruz” is an antidote to America’s ills they are delusional. The man is highly flawed and NOT a Conservative....I could make the point that he is barely even an American!

Yes 2016 is an important Presidential election year. We have been provided a candidate that WILL pull the rein of government back onto the course our Founders intended. He will counter the powerful forces arrayed against him using the will of the people to do it.

God loves us! He really, really loves us....
