A War for Freedom

In the United States we have fought our Wars for Freedom and Liberty… but now we are being told we must surrender both to our Government in the name of Security.  At this very moment we are being told this by those who desire our approval to lead… I acknowledge, the power associated with knowing anything about any citizen at any time must be intoxication indeed.

There can be no case made where the wholesale collection of Citizen Data does not jeopardize the Freedom and Liberty of all Americans. Not a single one.

If we must go to War with those who want to destroy our way of life in order to preserve our Freedom, then so be it. If not for that, why have so many lives been given to defend it?

Focus on those countries and foreign groups declaring harm to the United States, but hands off the Citizenry.

Cease the call for unlimited data collection.

It makes you appear tyrannical… and washes away the profound significance of those lives sacrificed in our past… and in our present.

I should not have to remind any of you, that in this Great Country, Government is subservient to the Individual.

Not the other way around.  Leave that for the rest of the world.

A few Important Questions from last night’s Republican Debates…

Dateline:  December 15, 2015

Coming off of last night’s Republican Debate on CNN, I have a few questions…

Why was John Kasich playing Fruit Ninja the entire debate?

Was it pre-planned by CNN to insert the Kasich Karate Chop for comedic value?

For that matter, Why was John Kasich there… and was that alone for comedic value?

Speaking of Fruit Ninja’s, Did Lindsey Graham actually pee himself when lamenting the absence of George W. Bush?

If it was indeed important to make things ‘foolish’, isn’t ‘jeh…’ being on stage, and Trumps hair on anyone’s head, enough?

In terms of ridiculous, Do ‘jeh…’ and his brother George spend their off hours working on that stupid, shoulder shrugging, laugh?

At what point does Rand Paul just give up trying to explain to the other candidates what privacy means?

Is Marco Rubio really angry about the NSA not legally being able to Spy on American Citizens for over a whole week now?  Really?

Hearing myself type that out loud, now that the NSA has a ton of down time should we send them over to share their expertise with the Immigration and Naturalization Service to help teach those ‘rigorous’ folks about The Facebook?

Did Dr. Ben forget there was a debate coming up?

Did Trump utter something of substance?

Does Fiorina realize interrupting all the time makes one look like Karate Chop Kasich?  And, that’s not good…

Is Chris Christie doing his debate prep with the Bananno, Massino, Taddeo and Gotti families?

Is Ted Cruz the illegitimate son of Lyndon Baines Johnson… or not?

How did Barrett Baber make the Main Stage?

 

Inquiring minds want to know.

Why Donald Trump is Fun

And, Why the Establishment Republicans absolutely Hate Him…

I tapped out a post well over a year ago stating the Establishment Republicans were going to flood the Primary Field with candidates in order to secure the nominee in the early East Coast Primaries.

And, lo and behold, that is what they are doing.  Flooding the Field

However…

Enter Trump!

(If I had a laugh track it would be playing now.  Just imagine one.  Imagine the one they used in M.A.S.H.  I like that one.  It’s heartier than the ones they use now.  More of a Belly Laugh than a Millennial Snicker.)

What is happening here?

Well… in a Diomedes kind of way, the Republican Establishment has set up a scenario they thought would guarantee them the candidate of their choice.

The have added, read ‘funded’, enough hopefuls in an effort to dilute the field to such a degree as to ensure all the support needed is delivered to secure their Guy, in this case Jeb!, the slot.  The Boehner’s and McConnell’s of the world also know that the healthy Libertarian, ‘Conservatarian’, movement is  strong in the Western States… and it must be crushed.

So they have orchestrated a Scheme making sure the early primaries continue to occur on the East Coast which not only lean heavily in favor of Liberal Republicans but allow Democrats to cross over and vote in the contests.  The latter part of this plan was considered ‘brilliant’ as Hillary was thought to be the anointed Democrat Candidate leaving plenty of Liberal Leftists to vote for Jeb!… kind of RINO Insurance.

But the Establishment is being thrown to the Mares and consumed by their own plan.  Que the circus music.

Here Comes Donald, P.T.Barnum, Trump!

And here’s where it get’s really enjoyable…

1.  Trump has his own money!

What!?  Last Election Cycle the press was lamenting that 1 Billion Dollars had been spent by the Candidates combined… and Trump has Ten Times this amount at his disposal!  Why is this funny?  Because Candidates are ALWAYS CONTROLLED by those whose money they need.  And the Establishment has always used this fact to do as much controlling as possible.  They can’t do this with Trump.  (Uh Oh…)

2.  Trump is an A-Hole!

How is that Awesome?  The Donald openly admits he is no saint.  He admits he pays as little in taxes as possible… just as we all try to… and he does not set himself up on a moral pedestal from which his opponents can push him off of.  The guys is a jerk who fights back.  And, we like this.  (This role had previously been held by Chris Christie.)

3.  Trump is well liked ON THE EAST COAST!

BwwaaHahhaahhhaaaaahahahahahaaaahhaa….  The RINO tactic of front loading the Primaries in States where they can get as many Soft Socialist and Fascist Republican voters to propel their chosen Candidate to the Nomination is being undermined by a Well Liked Rich A-Hole whom they cannot Control.  (The Irony is palpable.)

What is the ultimate effect?

It’s my assessment that Trump being involved in this election will do a couple of things.  First, it will demonstrate to the Conservatarians that being outspoken while not trying to secure a mantle of ‘piousness’ works well and is received positively by the voters.  Second, Trump’s presence will keep the press from painting a picture of Jeb! “running away” with the nomination while only garnering 20% of the party’s support.  (That’s 1 out of 5 republican voters for you useful folks.)

In the End, having Trump in the Deal is saving some of the oxygen for those serious, Anti-Establishment, candidates fighting for the soul of the Republican Party.

And those currently in control of the Republican Party Hate Him for it.

Hate, Hate, Hate him.
