The Grand Ol' Party

For decades under both parties the U.S. government has engaged in catastrophic spending and debt.

For decades under both parties the U.S. government has engaged in failed, illegal, counterproductive wars. It is now under both parties bankrolling two criminal states in war and interfering in the internal affairs of numerous other countries.

Under the present Biden regime:

Borders have been abolished and the American people are being replaced.

Unelected judges and bureaucrats are in a concerted campaign to eliminate freedom of speech by punishing individuals who have spoken against government policy.

The same powers are interfering in private life to impose conditions that are opposed by the people, counter to civilisation, and repugnant to common sense.

Can you name one thing that any Republican in national office other than Trump has done to oppose the Biden revolution?

It looks like Trump, due to uprising at the grassroots, has the Republican presidential nomination. Of course, the future is open. In a society where millions of people want to put a former President in prison and will do anything to prevent his reelection, assassination is a next step.

What do you suppose the mainstream Republican leaders are doing now that Trump has the nomination? Are they studying how to support their incoming President and the policies demanded by his supporters?

Don’t count on it. When Romney, Johnson, Rubio, Cotton, the Bushes, and such ilk get together, they are studying how far they can pretend to support Trump without endangering their flattering and profitable places in the Establishment. They will do nothing to support the reform agenda. It is not in their character. Their world is posturing and posing on the advice of advertising experts. It never occurs to them to consider the welfare of the people and the commonwealth. Their only idea of competition is maneuvering for place in within a meaningless party machine.

They will be the biggest obstacle to achieving any change under a Trump administration.

​The new Republican Speaker of the House was elected as a pretend conservative. He is nothing of the sort. He strives to be a member of the Establishment not a leader of reform. His every spontaneous statement reveals him to be a standard liberal.

Like John Randolph of Roanoke, what can I quip today? I bet not one member of Congress has visited the cemetery plot of Wade Hampton III and his family. And stood there and admired a man who lost much in life. They are like General Kilpatrick fleeing in his underwear. Hampton is a giant. These Republican lowlifes in Congress are slimy worms. Hampton speaks from the grave: To Arms, To Arms, For Dixie!’ Let the Republican Party have their George W. Bush. Hampton is our Richard the Lionheart.

I thought at the time of Trump’s first term that he did not realize how many liars and thugs, while pretending to support him, were waiting for opportunities to destroy him. I think the same thing now. If he should be reelected the “Brutus” touch will explode. The Deep State or the Washington crowd, or whatever the bureaucratic thieves call themselves are like scorpions. They are dangerous and evil. JMO (just my opinion)

I'd say your opinion is right on the money.

As Andrew Napolitano succinctly stated, Americans are ruled by one political party: The Party of Big Government.

It's too bad that we cannot have another run at, dare I say, a "States' Rights" party. Of course, the party wouldn't have enough members to pass legislation but perhaps they could block some. It's unfortunately for my home of the Bayou State that they have elected several times a scalawag in Steve Scalise, and a carpetbagger in Bill Cassidy.

One should stand where Armistead fell and ask their heart, mind, and soul: "We came so close to defeating the empire. Right here. By these brave men. Then look back upon Seminary Ridge, asking, but where are the brave men now? Where are the reinforcements now? Why we stand here idle? The enemy is here. Is peace so dear as to be purchased at the price of chains of slavery? Give our descendants liberty or give them death!"
