Trump will clean house

[kevin kiernan]

Crooked politicians must be held accountable for the crimes they have done. Trump is the only one who will do it. To elect a POTUS who will not prioritize fixing our criminal political system will not be good enough for me.We will not get another one like Trump ,who will bitch slap the evil out of Washington politics..No one can deny that Trump is crazy enough to do it. But he needs us to want it fixed. He can not stand alone..This is that time in history. The time that many have hoped. Turn your back on this opportunity,and we are done. THAT IS THE TRUTH OF IT.

Libertarianism/freedom was a fad of the French Enlightenment (from the cliche' Lliberte')

and emphatically not Man's highest virtue which includes; self discipline, courage,

loyalty, honor; among several.

Predictable that a closeted yet militant homosexual like Whitman would preach

such malarkey.

Principled Conservatism, developed by the Ancients, asserted that custom and

tradition were the highest aspirations of ordered culture/society.

Thomas,

Please explain this; Why did the Principled Conservatism developed by the Ancients fail to stand the test of time, and collapse until the pale echo of it resurfaced in modern times to be modern day Conservatism?

[Thomas Vincent Coffey]

For a direct and simple reason.

Man is mortal and imperfect; so his efforts in this world are temporal,

needing continual vigilance.

Otherwise bedrock ideas such a principled conservatism, a 7500 year

old concept birthed in the Fertile Crescent, are taken for granted. 

Then replaced by faddish novelties, such as libertarianism , a 250 year

old concept, until they become ignored and discarded.

Thomas,

To me that designates learniung and adapting to conditions which exist at the time.

[Thomas Vincent Coffey]

Adapting the rules of behavior, regarding human nature, is "we know better"

conceit and the enemy of the humility required to learn and know.

We moderns are experts at the former, as history has continually proven.

Predictably the notion of progress is the essence of the label progressivism;

the spawn of the joys of Marxism.

[M]

No, I disagree. Adapting is reacting to conditions as they are presented to us, not as we want them to be. We build on the past as the past built on their past. Civilization has a habit of surging forward then crashing back. Think of it as a waveform with peaks ans valleys. Every subsequent valley is either equal to, or marginally higher then the preceding peak. That's my take on it.

[Thomas Vincent Coffey]

Fair enough, as each is entitled to his/her opinion, which they own.

Establishment GOP RINO`s are attacking Trump again. Now it is over the Helsinki Summit. Thank God Paul Ryan is leaving. No President in history has had to defend against his own party the way Trump has to....Protests will now get bigger and more violent.Blood just may start to flow in this soft civil war of ours.

[Thomas Vincent Coffey]

The GOP has morphed from the party of crony capitalists, after the Civil War;

into the party of frauds, hustlers and scumbags such as McCain and Ryan.

[John S Hutchinson]

Kevin,

"Protests will now get bigger and more violent.Blood just may start to flow in this soft civil war of ours."

Yes, this nation is like a red hot pan of lard on the stove; all it will take is a few drops of water to blow up and set the kitchen on fire.

But why? No one asks why it is the way it is while most profess to have the answers to all the why's. It is not enough just to say they hate Trump, that is the symptom, not the cause.

The cause my friend is President Trump has the moral courage and cojones to speak the truth. And that truth is like acid running down the crack of every Socialist's butt. It burns then and drives them insane.

Again, why is that the case? (Now we can get to the nut cutting of the issue). The why is that his agenda for America is going to destroy everything they feel they deserve. Free higher education, free health care, free housing, free Obama phones and the list goes on and on.

It is simply their reaction to Trumps application of truth that makes them hate him and become violent. Check history. Obama and Hillary were working hard to do for America what Hugo Chavez did for Venezuela, what Castro did for the Cubans and what has been tried in over 100 nations in the last 100 years and all of them with the same eventual outcome.

Socialism, it is what rots a nations moral fiber.

Mr. Hutch...You hit the nail square on the head... Lets not forget that the elite will encourage upsetting the Constitutional Republic to protect their little empires...Socialism serves the elites who control the purse strings.....Banks and Corporations are at the root of this evil...And they hang out at the Bilderberg Group, along with other associations like the U.N.

[John S Hutchinson]

You know,

A good example of how Socialism works between the power brokers that manipulate it and the masses is almost exactly like the relationship between Farmer Brown and his herd of cows.

Farmer Brown controls the access to the feed stock and green pastures. He is exploiting the cows for their hide, meat, manure, offspring and the other benefits. And he accomplishes this simply by withholding from the herd what they most want and need for survival.

So Farmer Brown is exploiting the poor cows, giving them just enough substance to survive and as soon as they put on a few pounds he shoot a bolt through their frontal lobe and cashes in.

Do the cows hate him, despise him or attempt to flee from him? No, they love the rancher, he comes out every day and passes out some really good grains for them to munch on; call it the opium for the cows per say. They think Farmer Brown is the greatest and smartest Farmer in the world! Why all he has to do is walk up to the fence and they all come bawling and baying like the cows they actually are so they can lick his hands and be the first cow in line to take his offering from him. AND ANY STRANG OR NEW FARMER THAT APPROACHES THEM SCARES THEM!

That is the Socialist mindset! They don't believe in the American Way, hard work, honest earnings and pulling yourself up each morning by your own boot straps! No Sir! They just want Farmer Brown or President Hillary to feed and shod them and pass out all sorts of FREE stuff! All the while not understanding or more likely refusing to understand that good old Hillary or Obama have a mortgage on the property and a bill due at the feed and seed supplier and, well, they have a plan to pay that debt in due time.

I mean look through the pages of Socialist History! You will not find a single instance when the Dear Leader setting on the Bone Throne of his or her time ever had a dull knife.
