On last night’s debate

A lot of you are probably wondering why I haven’t written about the debate at all.

The truth is folks, I am still very much burned out on politics and writing in general. In fact, I am dictating this blog posting using voice to text and WordPress for Android and the voice to text feature on my phone. (except for a link insertion)

Now, you can go here and read all about the debate; who won, who lost and all that sort of stuff. Me personally? I could quite frankly care less about it.

Ever since the big let-down in 2012, I’ve become pretty much skeptical of any conservative or republican candidate being elected in an election. The reason why I say this it’s because it seems that Republicans and some conservatives have become masters of putting their foot in their own mouth.

Also too, let’s just be real folks Donald Trump has a lot of freakin baggage to plow through and to carry to get to be the president of the United States.

It is my understanding from what I have read some of the prominent supporters of Donald Trump that Donald Trump did not take the opportunity to nail Hillary like he should have. This could cost him in the election; because some people may see him as weak in the face of adversity.

On the other hand, if Donald Trump was too Fierce with her; he would have been called a bully and sexist and misogynistic. So, it’s a case of damned if you do and damned if you don’t in this situation.

I also have this bad case of cynicism when it comes to Donald Trump and his ability to fight back against the global elitists or the globalists, as they are called and to bring back a sort of nationalism in this country.

Hillary represents that establishment and that group of people. I just have this gnawing feeling that those people are not going to go away quietly into the woods and that they are going to fight him with everything that they have; money, media…. everything.

I may sound like the world’s greatest pessimist. But, I happen to be a realist and I have been around for 44 years; and I know the political game pretty well and I know that these people don’t fight fair at all and what they cannot prove, they will float as a lie and get people to believe it and Donald Trump could very well lose.

I really hope that I am wrong, but something tells me, that I am very right.

About that shooting in North Carolina

You might have heard about it. If not, here’s enough links to last a lifetime here.

Here’s my commentary on it:

About that bombing in New York City

I’m sure you heard all about it and you can find the latest about it herehereherehereherehere and here.

I think this right here is a perfect example of the blow back on the so-called “war on terror.” It’s not to say, that I don’t believe that the war on terror does not exist. Oh, I honestly do believe it does exist and terrorism is a real thing.

But, this is what we have to deal with; if we’re going to fight that war. Not only are there Muslims overseas who hate us, there Muslims in this country who hate us and because of that; they’re going to do stuff like this and we have to be on guard for that and be able to prepare ourselves for it.

This is why everytime, I hear some libertarian carping about how the government is becoming too intrusive in our lives; I have to wonder, what do they have to say about things like this right here?

There is a fine line between protecting constitutional rights and protecting the Republic, against threats foreign and domestic and we have walked that line horribly before; and it seems now in the age of Obama and Democrat Party rule or treating terrorism like a Law Enforcement issue. This is wrongheaded and and one of these fine days, it’s going to cause a lot of people to be murdered.

Personally, between you and I; if it came down to protecting many people including myself, from being killed in a terrorist attack and protecting some special snowflakes constitutional rights: I’ll deal with the government intrusion.

And this is coming from someone who leans to the right politically and is not too keen on big government. 

There is a big difference between intrusive big government and the government who simply wants to protect the people from threats foreign and domestic and wise is the man that knows the difference between the two.

Quote of the day

No matter who wins in November, America is going to face a divide unseen in decades. If Donald Trump wins, he will confront a resident media more hateful than that which confronted Richard Nixon in 1968.

If Hillary Clinton wins, she will come to office distrusted and disbelieved by most of her countrymen, half of whom she has maligned either as “deplorables” or pitiful souls in need of empathy.

Not for half a century has the idea of “one nation under God, indivisible,” seemed so distant.

and they have only themselves to blame for it….

Saw this article here this morning on The Jerusalem Post, and I will just give you the last bit of it.

Quote:

On the one hand then, we have the Jewish Democrats who are faced with a party that is increasingly controlled by anti-Semitic forces. And on the other hand we are in the midst of the collective political suicide of the Jewish Republican establishment.

It is hard to know how Israel will be affected by the dramatic enfeeblement of the American Jewish community that we are now witnessing. The fact remains that the vast majority of American support for Israel comes from the evangelical Christian community.

What is clear enough though is that the political waning of the Jewish community across the political spectrum means that the golden era of American Jewry is not only over. It is gone.

The only thing is to blame for this happening, are the Jews that took it upon themselves to meddle in the affairs of the United States Government. These are people who gave us the Iraq War, which we all know, was a disaster; which gave us the current unrest in the middle east, unbridled terrorism, Al-Qaeda and now it’s even more dangerous cousin ISIS.

Because of this happening, there is a new wave of Nationalism that has popped up, especially in the conservative grassroots. Patrick J. Buchanan built upon it in the 1990’s and ultimately, he failed, this article here, explains why Buchanan’s efforts failed and Trump’s are working great.: (H/T to Buchanan.org)

So, why did Trump succeed in leading a hostile takeover of the Republican Party, when Buchanan’s efforts came up so short in 1992? One overriding reason is that the times have indeed changed. When Buchanan warned of globalism and intervention, the successful Gulf War and the Christmas Day 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union weakened that argument. If there really was a “new world order,” America was unquestionably in charge. Today, with memories of the disastrous second Iraq War, China rising and Russia asserting itself again, anti-interventionism is a lot stronger argument. Immigration, too, is an issue far more powerful today. “Back then, there were maybe 3-4 million illegal immigrants,” Buchanan says. “Today, there are maybe 12 million.”

Perhaps the most startling parallel between Buchanan and Trump is the argument of bipartisan betrayal: They both used their pulpit to excoriate elites in both parties for leaving more vulnerable, working-class Americans behind. And on that front, the country has changed profoundly. The central American promise—that our children would live better than we live—has been thrown into grave doubt, at least for those who are part of “the white working class.” Some 5 million manufacturing jobs have been lost since the start of the millennium; incomes for the average factory worker have been stagnant for just about all of the 21st century.

“Those issues started maturing,” Buchanan now says. “Now we’ve lost 55,000 factories. … When those consequences came rolling in, all of a sudden you’ve got an angry country. We were out there warning what was coming. Now, on trade and intervention, America sees what’s come.”

But there’s one other major change that has made Trump’s message far more potent than Buchanan’s: the speed at which a powerful, even divisive idea can travel from one like-minded individual to another. “If Buchanan had had social media he might have done a lot better,” argues Ron Kaufman, a longtime ally of the Bush family, who has spent a lifetime as a Republican operative. “Back then in ’92, people wouldn’t have been hearing about it every 15 minutes. There was no Breitbart, no Politico.”

The rise of talk radio, cable networks and an online echo chamber for political discourse has changed the game for people with an outsider message, whether on the left or the right. Longtime Democratic operative Joe Trippi, who turned the Howard Dean campaign into an online fundraising behemoth in 2004, says: “I think one of the things we have all underestimated is how connected underground networks are these days—from Occupy Wall Street to white supremacists to conspiracy aficionados. … So if a Pat Buchanan came along today, it’s much easier to roll over a party.”

The kinds of attacks Buchanan leveled, alone, at his own Republican Party have become normal political chatter on the right these days, amplified enormously by the likes of Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and company. Today, an outright majority of Republicans say they believe their leaders have betrayed them, by not fighting harder against President Obama and the left. That sense of betrayal is what led the most militant of House Republicans to take out a very conservative speaker of the House, in John Boehner; that same sense of anger is what helped Trump defeat his opposition in the primary.

This, is why Trump is working, and the old guard of the Republican Party is failing and fading into the sunset. It is about time too. These people lied to America, on more than one occasion and now, their chickens, have come home to roost.

Let them panic

This brings a big smile to my face.

Via BuzzKill(Feed):

The Clinton campaign’s wobbly performance over the past 72 hours has set off a rash of behind-the-scenes handwringing among professional Republicans as they confront an unnerving new possibility: What if their nominee actually wins the White House?

For months, the prevailing wisdom within GOP political circles has been that Donald Trump stands little chance to win in November — and a large number of the party’s consultants, fundraisers, and operatives privately preferred it that way. Though many of them are reluctant to say so in public, they argue that a Trump presidency would fracture their party, decimate the conservative movement, and wreak havoc on the global economy (not to mention their own industry).

But now, with polls tightening and Hillary Clinton’s illness temporarily sidelining her from the campaign trail, those Republicans are expressing alarm at Trump’s sudden electoral viability.

“It’s terrifying,” said one GOP consultant, who like others spoke to BuzzFeed News on condition of anonymity. “He’s not qualified … and it’s a massive problem. I’m not a fan of Hillary Clinton, but at least I feel like some of those jobs that are required for president, she could do them.”

“It would be terrible for America, and for the world,” said another Republican strategist, referring to a prospective Trump victory. “I can’t think of one good thing that would come of it.”

A third Republican said that after watching the Clinton campaign’s missteps in recent days, “I’m curled up in the fetal position watching The West Wing and drinking a basketful of deplorable liquor.”

To which I say bluntly, “Let the bastards panic.” These are the people who gave us the George W. Bush Presidency, these are the people who gave us the Iraq War and sold it as being a necessary act of freedom; which we all know now, was a load of bunk. These are the people who gave us the bailout of the big banks. These are the globalist neoconservatives; who are as about Conservative, as I am a communist. Yes, these are the fake conservatives that have run that party for many years.

Yes, let them panic, let them clutch their pearls and weep for what they are about to lose. Let them wail and moan for the foolishness that they committed during the Bush-era. Now, it is time to take our Country back from these elitist swine and give it back to the people, who work so hard to keep it.

It is stories like this one here, that make me glad that I am, and always will be a Trump supporter. I admit, there are things about Trump that I simply do not like; but to see these elitist pigs get what is coming to them, it is more than worth it to me to see Trump win this Presidency.

Robert Saunders should be not be allowed anywhere near public office

Why? Because of this sort of asinine stuff:

Via Montana Cowgirl Blog:

Robert Saunders, 27, is a GOP candidate for legislature and possibly the head a$$hole at the anal lube factory.
Robert Saunders, 27, is a GOP candidate for legislature and possibly the head a$$hole at the anal lube factory.

The campaign of a GOP candidate in Billings is in damage control mode after he suggested, on an internet discussion board, that holding office and voting might be better off limited to those who are wealthy.

“The Founding Fathers believed (rightly) that the people with the most to lose would be the least likely to screw up,” wrote 27-year-old legislative candidate Robert Saunders, who comes from a wealthy Billings family. Those without money, he went on, “are unsafe custodians” of public funds.

When members of congress are very wealthy, he explains, it shows “they are at least good at something,” (unlike the rest of us poors I guess).

Saunders  says it’s no different than Corporations. Only a shareholder of a company can vote, Rob Saunders writes, hinting that perhaps there should be an asset test for voters. He says someone without personal wealth, like Bernie Sanders could be “catastrophic” and cause a result similar to what happened under the Russian Revolution that ousted the last of the Russian czars. “Our form of government was designed so that only those with a stake in the country’s future could vote,” Saunders said. “That’s why I think it’s a good thing that our leadership is relatively wealthy.”

Here’s a screenshot.

His opponent is the popular Rep. Jessica Karjala.  Voters put her in the seat that Saunders is running for in 2012.  When Rep Karjala pointed out Saunders’ insane writings as she visited with voters, Saunders then (you guessed it) had an attorney sent Karjala a cease and desist letter, threatening to sue her for defamation.  You can read the letter here. 

This sort of elitist mentality is what the Tea Party stood up against and this idiot has no business being in public office, ever. I think this progressive blog for picking this one up and writing about it. Also too, I’d like to see this rich son-of-a-bitch try and sue me for printing the truth about him. I’d eat his butt for lunch in court. Discovery is a bitch, Bob, remember that, idiot.
