Last night, National Review dropped its latest edition. It is a formal declaration against and excoriation of Donald Trump.

Trump and his supporters will not (and have not) taken this lightly. Prepare for fireworks.

    "Turning them into powerless people". That is soooo perfect, for nothing would be worse for them! Remember the myth is that Satan said, paraphrasing, he would rather rule in hell than serve in heaven.
    Edit: clarity

    I think it's either trump or hillary/sanders. He will slow down the engine of socialism rather than speed it up

    He's also "unconTROLLable" by consistent values, and that is not a problem for his supporters.

    There is so much vitriol against Trump. I think its because he is uncontrollable by political correctness. The more I hear negative about him, the more I will vote for him. I am so tired of political correctness in our society.

    Killing an innocent child is not killing murderers and life threatening people, rapists, degenerates. People who have made the choice to be horrible. That child didn't choose anything.

    Currently reading "Battlefield America" By John Whitehead and also a very good read. I have a stack of books and always thought that being retired would afford me more time to read. I was wrong on that too!

    After these past 8-12 years it is hard to see how Trump could possibly be any worse! I liked Bush 43 for his first term until he got denutted by a democratically controlled house. At this point in my life I will gladly accept anyone but Hillary or Bernie or Biden.

    Not sure what you are trying to say about what you tried to write..
    I'm leaning heavily toward voting for Cruz in the primary because the GOP hates his guts for solid conservative views.
    Just little me trying to make my FU GOP pipsqueak statement.
    Don't think he will win but IMO voting for the quixotical libertarian attempt right now is a way emptier thing to do.
    What I do about the presidential election depends on how things play out.

    Did I make an argument, or ask questions?
    Is someone forcing you to eat poisoned food?
    Do I have the right to tell someone they can't have sex for money?
    Is it my responsibility to educate people? Who should be forced to pay for their education or their abortion? Who should we force to pay for their birth control?
    If "killing is killing no matter what you name it", is killing a baby the same as killing ISIS or a rapist?

    Valid arguments, but aren't we constantly fighting to have poison ommited from our foods, so why wouldn't we want to commit to removing poison from our society. Not to mention, drugs lead to neglect, prostitution, abortions, its a gateway to greater "evils".
    Isis has killed how many? And plan to kill how many more? Enough said.
    As for abortion, killing is killing no matter what you name it. They cut babies out of mothers that are not usually even educated on alternatives. I think rather than keeping abortion clinics going, they should pool those resources into affordable birth control methods and educating young mothers to make better decisions. It costs between $400 and $1500 to get an abortion, it's $10,000 with insurance to get a tubilligation. And rapists get a slap on the hand if that, rather than justice served. They ruin lives and get no or very little punishment. That's why we still have abortions.

    Fascists are found left of center they range from Communistas and Nazis on down through secular progressives to Democrats in Name Only socialists through Republicans in Name only or Neocons as some call them where they are the right wing OF the left. A bit further to the right you find the true center which is NOT the center of the left.

    The center was and still is the Constitution....and there resides those who believe citizens should control government not the left wing other way around government should control citizens view.

    All the puzzling pieces come together quite rapidly when proper definitions not propaganda definitions are used.

    Keep going to the right and you find the opposite of totalitarian government the true anarchists. after a series of less is best.

    Rinos and Dinos and their enablers are ALL left of center which is why the Demos can always get the Repos to cave....Same party same basic philosophy some more National Socialist and some more International Socialist. Not a mouses eeek worth of difference.

    I'll buy a ticket.
    ISIS,.... Can I kill them if they threaten me?
    Drugs,..... Do I have the right to stop someone from destroying their own life?
    Abortion,.....Who should be made to support the child if the mother refuses or isn't capable?

    Okay, now I see where you are coming from. As a matter of curiosity, how do you square your positions with Objectivism?

    A "real world Gulch would fail right off the starting line" because Legitimate Objectivists can't be found, or because they won't agree on every issue?

    Sorry, I see your point, but I agree that we should do all three of those things. Isis is a problem, get rid of the problems! Drugs need to go, they destroy lives, economy, and our children who are our future. As for abortion, how is that even still legal! It is murder of innocent human children! Just my opinions but I would debate these 3 topics relentlessly.

    Could be. But like an Art. V convention that must be ratified by the states, celebrity President would have to be elected. I guessing Sean Penn may have a hard time.

    I doubt any of us alive today have ever seen a political campaign like the one we are living in right now. A lot can happen over the next 10 months to sway your vote and mine but one thing for sure is we all won't ever be happy. It is refreshing to see a lively discussion and to see there are just as many here who think I am just as wrong as I think they are. Given the diversities of personalities right here it is easy to see that a real world Gulch would fail right off the starting line.

    So very true. If you want to get behind a candidate but you are not supposed to be behind them, you stir the pot. Say you hate them and its like telling America to vote for them subliminally. It's that ever present urge to rebel, especially after the potus that is leaving.
