THAT...is the core of the whole Conservative Movement.
And it terrifies the political class. If government is made unimportant, irrelevant; and personalities minimized...what do we need with an Elite Political Class?
Today, thanks to the actions of the Elite Political Class, people are hurting - they are roiled and terrified for their future. Cruz came forward with essentially this same message. Trump came forward, and in his simpleton's vocabulary he promised "Great Deals" and "Working Smarter" - with a MORE powerful government. He also slandered Cruz, and anyone who cared to look could see the lie.
Madison had it right. The Constitution is only workable when used by a moral and religious people. It is not a suitable governing tool for fools, for liars, for amoral legalists or those who choose to be ignorant.
