From the article by Lawrence Sellin

Charles Murray, the W. H. Brady Scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, writing in the National Review, says that Donald Trump "is unfit to be president in ways that apply to no other candidate of the two major political parties throughout American history."

Wow. I wonder if Murray has been in a vegetative state for the last eight years.

And just who are these Republican establishment "angels" Mr. Murray prefers to Trump?

He doesn't say, but he seems to favor the hopelessly corrupt Hillary Clinton as a reasonable alternative, who, according to Murray, tells lies within "normal parameters."

I suppose those "normal parameter" lies include B******i, "Clinton Cash," the potentially felonious email scandal or her Avogadro's number of other lies.

Since January 20, 2009, the executive branch of the federal government has been composed of people who do not believe that United States should be a strong, sovereign, capitalistic- and Judeo-Christian-based constitutional republic.

If Barack Obama was the perpetrator, the two major political parties have been his willing accomplices, facilitating the most d******e, destructive and deceitful administration in American history.

Both the Democrat and Republican parties comprise what can now only be described as an anti-American establishment, both of whom have fostered policies pernicious to the well-being of the country, one in the pursuit of totalitarianism, the other to become beneficiaries of g*******t greed.

If the Democrat Party has adopted an Islamo-Marxist agenda, the Republican Party has eagerly become a wholly-owned subsidiary of corporate lobbyists and international financial interests.

The Democrat Party is controlled by the radical left and Islamic sympathizers, whose messianic goals can only be achieved by attacking the basis of Western Judeo-Christian civilization, which emphasizes the uniqueness and sacredness of the individual. While Islamic radicals seek to impose Sharia by purging the world of heresies and of the infidels who practice them, l*****t radicals seek to purge society of the vices allegedly spawned by capitalism -- those being r****m, sexism, imperialism, and income ine******y.

The Republican establishment, by contrast, is simply willing to sell-out the country to the highest international bidder and considers American workers as little more than farm animals.

To maintain control of a timid citizenry, both Democrats and Republicans foster a culture of dependency. Democrats create dependency by expanding federal mandates and increasing entitlements. Republicans promote dependency by limiting v**er choice, as Murray recommends.

There is already a long history of Republican collaboration with the Obama Administration, but the political degeneration has reached new depths of absurdity.

Here is the list of 43 Republican members of the US House of Representatives who supported Obama's t*********r edicts and are willing to mandate by law that grown men should be permitted to share dressing rooms, locker rooms, or bathrooms with little girls:

Amash (Mich., third congressional district), Brooks, S. (Ind., 5), Coffman (Colo., 6), Costello (Penn., 6), Curbelo (Fla., ), Davis, R. (Ill., 13), Denham (Calif., 10), Dent (Penn., 15), Diaz-Balart (Fla., 25), Dold (Ill., 10), Donovan (N.Y., 11), Emmer (Minn., 6), Fitzpatrick (Penn., 8), Frelinghuysen (N.J., 11), Gibson (N.Y., 19), Heck (Nev., 3), Hurd (Texas, 23), Issa (Calif., 49), Jolly (Fla., 13), Katko (N.Y., 24), Kinzinger (Ill., 16), Lance (N.J., 7), LoBiondo (N.J., 2), MacArthur (N.J., 3), McSally (Ariz., 2), Meehan (Penn., 7), Messer (Ind., 6), Paulsen (Minn., 3), Poliquin (Maine, 2), Reed, (N.Y., 23), Reichert (Wash., 8), Renacci (Ohio, 16), Rooney (Fla., 17), Ros-Lehtinen (Fla., 27), Shimkus (Ill., 15), Stefanik (N.Y., 21), Upton (Mich., 6), Valadao (Calif., 21), Walden (Ore., 2), Walters (Calif., 45), Young, D. (Iowa, 3), Young, T. (Ind., 9), Zeldin (N.Y., 1).

Those Republican members of Congress, who are apparently eager to disregard privacy, decency, women's equal protection and even public safety, actively sided with Obama and the Democrats to promote t*********rism.

In essence, the Republican Party thinks it is sensible for t*********rs, who are arguably mentally disturbed and representing a miniscule 0.3% of the US population, to determine social policy for the other 97.7% of us.

Unlike the #NeverTrumpers, the American people seem to have concluded, like Albert Einstein, that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

*slow clap* I like it. Actually, I like what you said a lot. The thought that policy should be dictated by the few for the many is ridiculous. I know that the "tyranny of the majority" is a thing, but "tyranny of the minority" is equally terrifying, if not more so. This is a d********g time to grow up, my condolences to any like myself that have to live through this nonsense. The thought that Congressmen and Congresswomen would be so naive as to support such an ideologically-funded bill like this is borderline rage-inducing. This is beyond stupidity into something that only an ideologue with their cracked lens would even remotely support. I would also like an answer as to how the Marxism of the modern Feminist movement and the new, equally repulsive social justice movement (for more, see: The Quest for Cosmic Justice by Thomas Sowell) would go unquestioned by those in power, or even by the people at large. I know a variety of people in social media and sites like YouTube have openly questioned these cancerous movements, but nothing is actually being done about them and they continue to impact our society and our children in such a way that will prove to be utterly destructive in its nature. This is not an alarmist thought, rather a rational one. Send help somewhere that doesn't have these mentally unstable special snowflakes. Evidently, the first world is too nice for these lunatics and they are mentally unfit to live in society so they have to mold it to support the weak and the unable, as shown in their inclusion of "ableist" as the unsubstantiated list of character attacks they levy against any that don't support their worthless college degree or mentally handicapped ideology.

Yes, I agree with your ""tyranny of the majority" is a thing, but "tyranny of the minority" is equally terrifying, if not more so". More so because the only way for the minority to rule relies on 1)FORCE or 2)the majority rolling over and playing "dead". The democrats are using both. They KNOW the conservatives will not fight the war with the same weapons the left fights wars: annihilate everything in one's way, fight dirty, lie, steal, and c***t in every way possible, and totally, by any and all means, clean the field of ALL who disagree. Republicans and Democrats are two very different animals; whereas ALL POLITICIANS ARE ONE AND THE SAME: totally and completely dev**ed to self pleasure and power. Rank and file democrats think just like their leaders and will follow them over any and all cliffs. Rank and file republicans do NOT think like their leaders and will NOT follow them over the cliffs. Therein lies the problem re minorities winning. It boils down to rank and file republicans having NO REPRESENTATION IN OUR GOVERNMENT, and conservatives can forget about having representation - it ain't gonna happen.

Not at the moment, although I might look into it. For the moment I'm simply a 19-year old college student upset at how overrun my university is with social justice warriors that came home to a state also filled with social justice warriors, which is not how I left it, so I am doing my best to speak out and hopefully make some sort of a change before this idiocracy becomes the status quo, before the intelligent will have to revolt against the unintelligent. If we get to that point where a palace revolution is necessary to preserve American values, America is essentially gone and our freedoms with it. Raising a generation that shares in the wealthiest society that has ever been on the idea that they somehow deserve and earned this wealth themselves is both a revolting idea and one that cannot be tolerated should America want to persevere.

Kudos to you, my young friend!!! How refreshing it is to have a youngster amongst us old and practically worn out Americans who will go to almost any limit to salvage our nation from the annihilation toward which it is headed, thanks to PC and the politicians in DC. It is heartening to actually KNOW some young people DO HAVE IT RIGHT. Hope you are with us for a long, long time as all of us need as much help as we can get.

I absolutely agree. 100%. Leading blind i***ts that tilt one way or the other as is generally the case with mainstream politicians is so much easier and more profitable than leading, representing, and engaging the intelligent. Not that any of the candidates this e******n cycle really appealed at all, on either side, but that just shows how much this system has barred statesmen and only accepts politicians that are so far down the Machiavellian path that it ceases to be a compliment. The "doing anything to win" attitude is something I thoroughly respect, and most Americans would agree (I hope), but it has a limit. Lying, unvirtuous backroom deals, and generally performing immoral activities to win a political contest is not how one engages the intelligent or gives respect to classic American values and is exactly how Machiavellianism goes too far. I don't know exactly who to blame, so I'm going to blame Andrew Jackson, the first Democrat as that seems to be a pretty good place to start.

If we think of politics as a business, we can fix this. The "business" will deliver what the "consumer" wants, so let's pressure the parties to deliver a morally sound character or candidate. To deliver someone with real character. To deliver a candidate that will stand for values as much as Trump and his wall or Hillary and her "innocence", as if that word could ever be applied to her. We will never get another Reagan, Monroe, Madison, Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, or any other even slightly decent President or at the very least candidate until this happens. Despite what Obama may want us to think, We the People are the most powerful entity this country has ever known and we will get our great candidate, even if I have to wait 16 years to run for it. This is ridiculous and it has gone on for far too long.

Now I'm totally blown away.

You're only 19 years of age, and just within a matter of minutes you have managed to instill fresh hope into the spirit of a bitter old man.

Bitter because of the very things you have so eloquently spoken of.

I wish you success in wh**ever you choose to do.

As for the social justice thugs, be prepared to defend yourself at all times.

They are cowards.

And cowards are proven murderers.

I agree with your assessments. I believe a States Convention may be the best answer and quite a few states are working on it as we speak. I may be wrong, but I believe some 19 more states are yet needed in order to convene such a convention.

All I can ask for is the fame of Caesar without the fate of Caesar. Hopefully someday soon social justice will be dismantled, but they will fight tooth and nail. They've passed the moral rubicon and their entire model of life will collapse. I might make a new post called "The Moral Rubicon" where I could explain it in better detail about SJWs, B*M, and modern feminism. Their ilk really does need to leave America since their mindset won't allow them to be wrong. Pack up and go to Africa where your socialist utopia is causing civil war after civil war and see what is does to a society.

16 years can pass much faster than you realize. When they do, you will then question, how? I enjoy your refreshing posts very much. Keep them coming.
