My eyes have been opened since Donald Trump has thrown his hat into the ring of politics.  First let me say, I am an unabashed lover of Donald Trump with all his warts and craziness.  I, like so many others, have discovered there is an underlying truth to much of what he says.  We instinctively know there is something very wrong with our government, and he has put his finger on it, even if he is not articulating it as well as I might want him to do.  But, Mr. Trump has a plan, and I am confident the plan will work to bring him into the White House. 

Power and money have driven our politics for a very long time.  I am no Pollyanna, I don’t believe this just started, I am well aware that it has always been, and always will be.  I also believe there are still some Patriots.  However, the level of corruption has grown to a point where a confirmed Socialist can become a part of the national discussion and is giving the Democrat front runner a good run for her money.  We have an avowed Marxist, who loathes America, as President for the last seven plus years.  Now, many Americans are so disgusted they want a longtime backbench Independent, who is a consummate politician, who has no achievements to his name, who rails against capitalism as their next President?  And, on the Republican side, two “outsiders” have risen to the top of the heap.  How can this be?  Very simple; Donald Trump has brought to the fore what is wrong with America, and how he is going to begin to mend her.  The politicians are scared to death.  Donald Trump knows where the money changers’ tables are and he is going to overturn them.  They are afraid.  By that I am speaking of both political parties and all the politicians who comprise them.

The will of the people is no longer the basis of our Republic, money is.

All Americans, for so long have been given the choice of one politician versus another politician.  Election after election we have been given what the “Establishment” wants to give us and we have accepted their choice.  We no longer think of a politician as a person who serves the people, the word “politician” is now a job description.

For your amusement, here are the dictionary definitions:

1.  Somebody active in politics (somebody who actively or professionally engages in politics)

2.  Government member (a member of a branch of government)

3.  Somebody seeking personal power (U.S. – somebody whose main political motive is self-advancement and whose methods are often unscrupulous)

4.  Schemer (somebody who manipulates relationships, especially in a workplace)

We are now content with a professional politician rather than a citizen politician.  We’ve allowed it, and for the first time in many years we have a choice between a patriot and a politician; a citizen versus a politician and all hell has broken loose.

The other so-called “outsider” in this race is Ted Cruz.  For all his talk about “Liberty and Freedom,” Senator Cruz is controlled by big money and their interests, and is no outsider.  Take a look at some of his donors:  https://www.yahoo.com/news/the-mystery-moneymen-behind-ted-cruzs-super-pacs-116037797361.html.  Or take a look at the Goldman Sachs loan he conveniently forgot to list on his Senate campaign filings; http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/ted-cruz-didn-disclose-loan-goldman-sachs-report-article-1.2496526.  And, there is still no answer about the $500,000 transferred from Mr. Cruz’ PAC “Keep the Promise” to Carly Fiorinia’s PAC.  Why would one campaign give any money to another campaign?  I believe it is hush money.  He has shown in this campaign how easy it is for him to be swayed on a host of issues.  He might be a Constitutionalist, but only when it works for him.   Take when he accused Mr. Trump of being the inciter in the Chicago disturbances; Senator Cruz had no problem depriving Mr. Trump of his right to free speech. 

A word of caution to Mr. Trump; government is not the answer to all of our social problems.  Less government, less taxes, and no social engineering are the answers.  Mr. Trump is on the right track when he speaks about giving the power back to the states in a variety of circumstances.  He should keep on that track.  As the leader of the REVOLUTION he should be speaking of the lofty ideals and ideas of our founders, and that he is not a career politician but is the Patriot to “Make America Great Again.”  We are great, we’ve just gotten off the track, and he needs to remind us of that.

Donald Trump calls what he has started a “movement,” I think it is the beginning of a REVOLUTION.  We are witnessing a battle for the very soul and ideal of America and it is starting with Patriot Donald Trump, for whether he knows it or not, he is awakening the American people to look at what has happened and what has gone wrong with the two political parties in America.  They no longer desire what is best for America, but what is best for them.

Donald Trump will make America great again!

“Donald, the Clown?”

“Many of us have been looking for a leader; someone who is plain talking, who can explain and appreciate the capitalist system, whose love of America is unquestionable, who wants to control the borders, who wants to defend the country, who wants to support the military, who believes in the promise of America, who wants to stop the waste of our tax dollars, who believes America is number one in the world, and is the best.  Does Donald Trump fit this description? 

What about the others in the primary race?  Most of them also fit the description, give or take a few points, but, are they getting the attention of the nation?  With all of Mr. Trump’s remarks, people are still listening and supporting him, and, best of all, the media is listening and more importantly reporting on his comments.  We’re going to need someone who gets coverage as soon as they open their mouth, and Donald Trump does just that. 

Some say, have we stooped so low that we need to support this “clown” in order to win?  Is Donald Trump a clown, or a very smart businessman who knows that without the attention of America we are not going to win against Hillary.  Donald Trump won’t care if the Clinton machine calls him a clown, racist, money grubbing capitalist, big mouth, hater of women, or a buffoon.  It will just be more fodder for him to turn the tables on her, and remind the public of who she really is.

Can you imagine his retort to Hillary if she accuses him of being a money grubber, or a wealthy, greedy capitalist?  What will her answer be to the Clinton Foundation and its antics?  Or, if the question of his foreign policy experience comes up?  What will she say about the Benghazi debacle, or better yet, what will Trump say about her performance in this disgraceful and tragic piece of our history?  Think of the questions that will be thrown at Trump and how he will not be afraid of exposing her and her lack of performance as Secretary of State.

There are quite a few primary candidates who are effective leaders.  The question is, can they win against Hillary?  Can they articulate their answers to the important issues we are faced with so that the American public can understand and VOTE for the one who will ultimately be the standard bearer?  For me, right now, I don’t know.  I do know we cannot have another eight years of the left’s rule.  It is as simple as that.  We need a winner. 

Donald Trump is shaking up the norm.  Good for him.  We wanted something different, and we got it!  PC is taking a pounding, and I love it! 

After almost seven years of Barack Hussein Obama and his plan to transform America into a Communist state, we need someone who is a take charge, plain talking American who will “Make America Great Again!”

“We’re at a Crossroads…”

Where is all the hysteria over a battle flag of the Confederate Army going to end?  I believe it is not going to end anytime soon.  I truly hope that it does, however, the Communists in our midst are going to make sure that they take advantage of this crisis; they are going to attack our Founders as slave owners in order to erase their place in our history.  Think I’m being a bit over the top?  That I’ve been caught up in the moment?  Let me make my case.

For the last forty plus years, the public schools in this country have not put much emphasis on American history.  Nor have they taught civics.  Many people do not know our glorious history, nor do they know anything about how the government of the United States works.  Many understand it as a large piggy bank, from which they are entitled to take it down from the shelf and shake out as many coins as necessary to satisfy their needs.  Never mind that they have never put in any coins.  That’s about as far as they know when it comes to our government.  After all, everyone is entitled to what everyone else has.  It wouldn’t be “fair” if someone had more than I did – right?

Now, without any idea of our history and the people who are a part of that history, we are going to expunge everything that has to do with slavery.  Many think slavery is the great sin of America, followed closely by the sin of global warming, followed by whatever suits the Communist to make the American citizen guilty of something, anything.  Since fewer and fewer people have any religious training, i.e., Sunday School, Schul, CCD they no longer understand the sinful nature of man.  On the contrary, they only know the secular sins which are declared by the Left; you use too much gas, you ruin our environment, you hate gays, you don’t eat right, you are selfish, and on and on.  The Liberal has an answer to rid you of your sin and your sinful life, and that is Government.  Yes, Government will wash away all of these sins and make you right with the Earth.  Notice how I capitalized the word “Earth?”  This is because the “Earth” has become one of our new gods, not in my world, but certainly in the Liberal one.

With all sin, how do we assess what and who we will edit out and what and who are more sinful, or less sinful?  Who decides?

Let’s talk about some of our history.  In the late 1800’s great waves of immigrants came to this country, and they were discriminated against.  The Irish had to drop the “Mc’s,” and the “O’s,” from their names to try and get a job.  The Italians were in the same position.  The Jewish people were not allowed into WASP institutions.  During WW II the Japanese were interned in camps, and a shipload of refugee Jews were forbidden safe harbor in the United States of America.  At the beginning of the 20^th century, Woodrow Wilson imprisoned American women suffragettes who were demonstrating for the vote.  Should we obliterate the name “Franklin D. Roosevelt” and “Woodrow Wilson” from every public building, and never mention them again?  

Now to the title of this essay; “We are at a Crossroads.”  What are we going to do when the ignorant hordes start coming for our Founding Fathers, under the guise that they were mere slave owners and nothing else.  What will we do?  Sit silent and let them do it?  Not me.

There needs to be a resurgence of the American spirit.  Don’t know how this is going to begin, but I believe there are lots of us out there and we can muster the will and the wherewithal to bring about this renaissance.

Let’s start with prayer.

We Are So Enlightened…  Why Would Those

Bad Russians Do Such a Thing?

Secretary of State John Kerry was on one of the Sunday morning talk shows speaking about those terrible Russians daring to send armed troops into Ukraine.  He explained, “They are so out of step with the 21^st century.”  Can you imagine, someone thumbing their nose at the law?  Actually trampling the sovereignty of a nation?  Why it’s positively outrageous!  He further went on to say there was any number of ways that this situation could have been resolved; the Russians could have gone to the United Nations. 

President Obama in a 90 minute telephone call with Putin offered to support sending international monitors to make sure ethnic Russians were not harmed.  This is, of course, after Obama had said there would be “consequences” the day before this phone call.  Maybe it’s time for another red line, or perhaps he’s gotten ahead of himself, and should be further back in the line (by his own reckoning, he wants to “lead from behind”) calling for Putin to stop and desist.  But no matter, Putin doesn’t care about Obama or anything his administration says.  This is the president who decided to pull back anti-missile defense capabilities which had been promised to Poland and the Czech Republic.  Obama expects to be taken seriously; after all, Obama has already said he might not attend the G8 summit planned by Putin.  That will show him! 

All this stamping of feet, and bravado on Obama’s part is a comic story, no a comic tragedy.  To think that these fools in the White House and the biggest fool of all, Obama, would think that by their sheer force of will and their words that all evil, or evil as they see it, would be wiped out.  Men don’t fight battles anymore, they don’t covet any more, they don’t break the rules any more.  No, we are all way too enlightened, at least by the light and standards they use.  (You know the ones I mean, those curly, energy-saving ones we will all have to use soon.)  Remember, we are going to diminish our military force to levels we had before WW II.  Nope, men don’t fight like that anymore, we just send drones.  Who would ever think of, even dream of using nuclear weapons, we are way too enlightened to even think this, nevertheless to use them!  Obama has promised to reduce our stockpiles of nuclear weapons to the size of Red China’s.  Will our future generations feel as secure growing up as we did?  No one played with the United States of America before he came on the scene.

And, again remember, Obama promised to lower the seas.  I quote here from his 2008 nomination acceptance speech;

“The journey will be difficult. The road will be long. I face this challenge with profound humility, and knowledge of my own limitations. But I also face it with limitless faith in the capacity of the American people. Because if we are willing to work for it, and fight for it, and believe in it, then I am absolutely certain that generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and good jobs to the jobless; this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal; this was the moment when we ended a war and secured our nation and restored our image as the last, best hope on Earth. This was the moment - this was the time - when we came together to remake this great nation so that it may always reflect our very best selves, and our highest ideals.

Can we really expect anything less from this man Obama, when he stomps his feet, and says you will listen to me!  And, again, remember the remark about the pen and his phone.  We all know the answer to that question, OBAMA ROUTINELY BREAKS THE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES.  He’s like an out of control kid – he gets away with this behavior in America, why shouldn’t he get away with it on the national stage.  In his own words; “That’s the good thing as a president, I can do whatever I want.” 

Obama is just like any other Communist; do as I say, not as I do.  He is an inept, know nothing, Communist ideologue.  He has no concept of foreign policy and America’s role in it.  He does not know and understand the great Republic of the United States and the American people.  He’s met his match in Putin.  President George Bush had respect from the former KGB Putin, and a man-to-man understanding with this Communist.

What’s this guy got?  I’ll tell you, a totally misguided understanding of the Judeo-Christian ethic and the fierceness of the liberty loving people of America.
