Going from shouts of YES WE CAN! in 2008 to "YES, YOU WILL!" in 2016. Didn't anyone at the convention shouting that understand the frightening aspect of that? Jonathan Cahn may have to add another Harbinger book.

I'd like to hear his take on it.

Yep, you're exactly right, but Donald isn't bright enough to know that.  Throw some gold plate on the history book that contains the story, and he might open it up and happen across it.

What did he say not long ago?  "Right now I'm catering to the Republicans?"

That I can translate myself, no need of any Trumpism Interpreter.

Translation:  "Right now I'm catering to the GOPe/Establishment." 

What took him so long?

What would you know about integrity?  Just curious!

Your attack on RIV is despicable. She deserves an apology. Be a man about it and apologize.

I wrote this commentary last night for another thread, but it is even more fitting here on this one.    My take on what "Americanism" or what "Make America Great Again" means to Trump and his followers - and it is disturbing.

I have heard it said that "America is Great, because America is Good." And I believe that is true with all my heart.   Trump has a totally opposite vision of what would make a Great America, and that is to make America the biggest badass on the block. Threatening our NATO allies, and Japan and South Korea to pay up or we leave you to defend yourself.  Threatening to punish our trade partners with monstrous tariffs. Threatening our neighbor to the south by installing a high wall to separate the two countries forever and he will make Mexico pay for it - believe me. And the most troubling, threatening those who oppose those with the power within our own country, which we are seeing happen right before our eyes following the Convention.


For Trump, Make America Great Again does not mean make America Good again - or as Reagan put it, a "Shining city on a hill"

Trump's Make America Great Again = Make the world fear us. Make them tremble when they here our name.     It's been done before, oh yes it has, but not here.  In Germany, Italy, Red China, and the Soviet Union.    When you see those cute little red ball caps with that logo, think about what I just said.

 I did see that, and it was positively chilling.  It left no doubt in my mind that what we are dealing with here is nothing less than a cult of personality.


The American Constitution is built around the idea of human beings as free and sovereign individuals pursuing their own fortunes in voluntary cooperation with others, as insured by the rule of law.  Toward that end, the powers of the presidency as well as those of  Congress and the courts are expressly limited.


By the time the US constitution was proposed, the Declararion of Independence had already made it unnecessary to expressly reject the Divine Right of Kings, or other such "Great Man" theories of governance. The people were assumed sovereign instead, and responsible for their own lives in their own destinies.  That presumption is among others currently under challenge from the New American Populist Party.

"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

Its not the only thing being challenged.

Those who will boo the idea of voting their conscience have already been convicted by their conscience and know it.

Labor to keep alive in your breast that little spark of celestial fire, called conscience.

I'll consider that right after she apologizes for deleting EVERY post she didn't like on the convention threads!
