This should be President Trump’s road map / instruction manual for the next four years.

I pray it comes to pass.

Journalism is now about redefining terms other people use to make them support your agenda.

Not saying that rooting out the deep state and corruption, transparency and better checks and balances aren’t all necessary tweaks to the system.

But don’t redefine conservatism to mean destruction of the establishment. Conservatism is about freedoms, values, free markets, rule of law, democracy, ideas our founding fathers embraced.

But tweaking the system to better embrace conservatism is not the definition of conservatism.

"The biggest corruption story of all time – a vice president running an influence peddling ring for foreigners – and the media’s response is to tell us there’s nothing to see. And then, when the tech fascists decided to suppress the news, the media actively supported this censorship."

And yet it's come out. That alone is hope for our country and current establishment. Tweaks are needed. Change in ownership of the media is needed. Breaking up the media is needed. DOJ and FBI changes are needed. But Truth is prevailing even if slow.

Conservatism is no longer about conserving; it’s about ripping apart the whole corrupt system and overthrowing the garbage Establishment.

To succeed in this endeavor the first thing is that some states must secede.

I always thought this is what conservatism was all about. All of the fakes i.e. Jonah Goldberg,Bill Crystal et al. were all smoked out as subversives.

Love Schlichter!

***if some computer repair guy in New Jersey hadn’t thought to keep a copy of the contents the FBI would have deep-sixed the hard drive just like it did Weiner’s laptop in service of their Establishment masters***

Is the computer repair guy from New Jersey? I thought he was from Delaware.

Is antidisestablishmentarianism still the longest word in the English language? I’ve been studying German, and it wouldn’t be close to longest in that language.

“Is antidisestablishmentarianism still the longest word in the English language? I’ve been studying German, and it wouldn’t be close to longest in that language.”

No; last time I checked, that fine distinction went to a disease caused by inhaling volcano dust, “ultramicroscopicvulcanic-” something or other.

Uh, no.

These days, God and Conservatism are the last best hope for this country.

The Establishment must be denied. Defend the US and the Constitution. Don’t let your chains rest lightly.

Very well expressed. I find myself referring to myself as a Constitutionalist more and more often these days. It’s more specific about what I am for.

The Establishment? I regret having made two weeks of volunteer calls on behalf of the campaign of Bush’s idiot son in both 2000 and 2004. First, he was a warmongering nitwit. Second, just like his father, he undercut the conservative movement every chance he got. Third, his “staff” has just put out some backstabbing public endorsement of a man who has grifted millions from foreign crooks and communists and is bound and determined to be used as the senile tool of them to further bankrupt the middle class. You counted on Election Day with this clown and then both he and his father conveniently forgot about you, even dissed you with their society pals across the aisle.

As I was telling some Leftist suburban women I know just yesterday on why I was voting straight ticket Republican...”I’ve always been anti establishment”.

This cuts them to the core. They represent the party of the establishment....of Wall Street....the party of authoritarianism and censorship.

I/WE are the freedom loving rebels, not them. Theirs is the side of conformity.

How do you define the establishment?

My definition includes all of government. Including the Presdiency and Congress which the constitution sets up. It includes the military.

Parts of it work well. Parts do not. It needs tweaking, rooting out corruptionn, and transparency not revolution.

It really all goes back to what the Supreme Court has allowed government to get away with and it goes way back.

J. W. Hampton, Jr. & Co. v. United States (1928) allowed Congress to delegate legislative power to executive agencies. The most fatal argument against the delegation of constitutional power is that Congress cannot get it back without a 2/3 vote in both houses should the President veto the attempt. A delegated authority must be revocable at will but there is no such mechanism and therefore no such authority. Find me a lawyer who has ever argued this obvious line though. (The law in the end is whatever those in power want to force down our throats, so no logical argument is worth a damn without the guns to back it up, and no argument is invalid which has the guns.)

Read about my tag noting Wickard v Filburn (1942) and its corruption of the Interstate Commerce Clause for yourselves.

I notice you didn’t mention SCOTUS. See #17

“You owe it nothing, not respect, deference, or obedience.”

Years ago the left started making noise about mandating “volunteering” a requirement for high school graduation (yes, “mandatory volunteers” AKA slaves); it was clear that many people have no interest in donating/volunteering as they realize they owe the establishment nothing but taxes.

The parents made deals where they would each sign off that others’ children had volunteered to help them with some chore or other (nobody actually did any work); they pretend to teach, and the children pretend to volunteer.

Great article.

How ironic that the conservative rallying cry should be “Auburn it all down.”

So antifa is correct? Do we ally with them?
