    Certainly and with a purpose but it excludes the heavily rigged portion and includes the local issues by voting against funding failed education systems and against the Rino/Dino Party candidates at the local level.

    As for the Federal level a blank spot with no write ins leaves no vote to be given to the winner take all fascists and strengthens the 46% in the so called available voter pool who are in the disenfranchised party ...and leads to a counter revolution. Completely legal.

    But that is the only reason and if my local state rules still allow the left to get my vote then I don't register at all.

    And buld the 46% to 56% and 66% and higher until the sound of no taxation without representation and Republicans and Democrats are no representation is heard once again.

    Until there is no one in line at the recruiters door and the draft is activated and then destroyed once and for all.

    Until the truly wealthy are denied the write to cast their vote and yours with their check books claiming it is free speech when they have stolen yours.

    Until the ACLU is listed as a subversive organization along with their bought and paid for judges. who change the Constitution without Amendment.

    Until the supporters of the left are all that is left to pay the bills and find themselves under attack.

    Or perhaps until the military remembers their oath of office and starts by purging their own ranks of bought and paid for careerists.

    Not much to ask for..And not one word violates any law...if you are a Constitutionalist. Of course under the Patriot Act anything is a violation. The Economy size one size fits all final solution so why worry about it when you are already convicted and just awaiting your turn.

    That's a healthy way to look at it, I think.
    I am in the ' I-am-in-love-with-being-in love' phase of this political cycle. I can cool off fast enough.

    You are so over-thinking this. When I say that I can be a bit of a fascist and not left-leaning don't get it into your pretty little head that you can argue with me. I know myself much better than you do.

    It was more of a tongue and cheek remark because I do like the concept of 'the trains running on time'. but Lordy, Lordy, hallelujah -- without the PC police involved.
    I may not vote for Trump; I like the idea of voting for him...I'm heading in that direction but there isn't anyone else that can get my vote if I reevaluate all the negatives going forward.

    This is properly the first time in history that a former Presidential candidate who lost his race led to the defeat of the front-runner for his party in a following election. That is if Mitt Romney has his way.

    And you could tell by Trump's response to a woman question about federal lands while he was in Nevada he was out of his depth. He didn't have a clue what to say, because he is clueless about the topic, period. I'm just trying to say, I'm not surprised that a hotelier who is looking to build on a beach strand does everything he can to obtain the property. I don't see that as immoral.This widow had a prime spot on the Jersey shore. Now, had the system let's him take the land and the rest of us are in agreement that shouldn't be occurring, then the system is at fault. The system, badly flawed as it is did prevail.
    I think the ride is over anyway. It was fun while it lasted but his Trump University troubles are going to derail him. Rightly so, I think.
    My problem will be that Ted Cruz nor Rubio will get my vote if Trump turns out to be unsuitable. Actually, it's their problem not mine.

    Thomas Parry Dressler II However, politics is broken. The 2 major parties are drunk with power and getting rich thru their looting of taxpayer's money. ie;on the backs of the poor. The taxes, regulations, presidential mandates, EPA, and other forms of restrictions are crippling our economy and our freedoms. WHO IS JOHN GALT? I AM and so are plenty of others

    or it was a wake up call. or aimed generally at Trumpeters....but in this case it hit a fairly presented target so school begins

    Instinct was replaced by reason for humankind and possibly some forms of animals.

    Who says I can't use the tactics of the left to demonstrate points?

    Instinct is a euphemism for emotion. we don't deal with emotion in addressing reality. That's for TV shows

    Rational?

    Fascism as political party is left of center also known as National Socialism.

    fascism as a tool of the left means complete control by any and all means

    State Economics AKA Fascist Economics is defined as Marxist Economics with a very thin patina of Capitalism

    Complete fascism is common with National and International Socialists. It's there primary tool for existence. All leftist

    What's the difference in degree?

    Income Tax versus Gas Chambers?

    That works.

    The Center of the left was proclaimed by Socialists but even national socialism is to the left of that center. RINOS and socialist corporatist looters are left of their center.

    The Center of of political discourse in the USA used to be The Constitution until Socialism moved it and began re training and re defining

    Now it's the part of the Patriot Act which says arrest for suspicion of or suspicion of contributing to terrorism. with complete suspension of civil rights is OK. Not quite concentration camps though they have been talked about but a lot worse than income tax.

    if you are a bit of a fascist you are a leftist...

    the rest is as Nuremberg Defense.

    none of that is emotiion, instinct or insulting prose...depending on how you see yourself

    it's just facts

    Nuremberg Defense is voluntary admission of guilt with a request for clemency

    Class is out for the day which means Trumpeters and Clintonites

    PS the attitude expressed defended Bubba Cute Butt Clinton and turned agains their violated sisters. by who...NOW for one.

    There is a distinction between the process of eminent domain for private use or a valid public use. The problem with the Kelo decision is that it exercised eminent domain for a private interest. Whether Trump supports Kelo is a matter that needs resolution.

    The issue of federal lands in the west is completely different. Cruz is not saying that they will be "seized" under any kind of eminent domain, but that they properly belong to the States within which they lay.

    He will scare the hell out of the people who have been scaring the hell out of me the last seven years. I don't even have to point him in the right direction. I'm loving this.

    I haven't heard him say he is in favor of seizing federal land for the sake of seizing federal land. That, as far as a know, is what Cruz keeps saying. I don't think Donald believes in seizing anything without an insatiable desire to make something from it. I'm willing to read any link you may have that suggests he is in favor of this land-grabbing for the heck of it.

    Your response was aimed to make my position look weak by using insulting prose. Whether you like it or not, that was Trump-like behavior. I'm just being realistic. I have always liked Alpha-males. It's only normal that I would make an argument for one. I'm not going to fight my own instincts. That's not rational. Possibly, I could be described a bit of a fascist. Not left-leaning though. ;)

    No, 'change them' does not mean or even imply 'eliminate them.'
    And I keep asking... has Trump BROKEN ANY laws that the Congress has enacted? Likely not, unlike the Clintons.
    I STILL have a self-identifying conservative libertarian friend who admits to working the minimal amount of time to qualify for government benefits, insurance, pension, etc... working 3-4 months of the year at the IRS!
    The rules are clear and he's taking advantage of 'em.

    I disagree. He was an individual that made his fortune sucking at the government teat and that business of dropping out and then getting back in as an independant, did nothing but split the Republican vote and elect Clinton. He did it out of spite because he knew he couldn't win and wanted to stick it to the Bush family.

    Oh, come on now...let's not blame the messenger for the acts of a Bush and a Soros, He was certainly idiosyncratic and perhaps not the most adroit thinker but Perot was no irresponsible egotist. A rather selfless self-made man, a real American. He was spot on as to the intent of the int'l financial elite, a prophet of the present consolidation.

    I disagree, the basis of eminent domain is and always has been naked force wielded by the state. Is that not a reasonable decription of the pupose of a standing army?

    "I love that Trump is disrupting politics. I hate how he’s doing it." So said Ron Fournier of the http://Atlantic.com to echo my sentiments. Will the perspective prevail once elected? That's the question. Where is the action plan beyond position to dispose of perhaps 30mio illegals? Will we only know it after its passed?
