Something in the water and blood.

I understand and respect that. It’s even possible that I may come back around to that way of thinking in the end.

It’s just so depressing to think that with all the promise the 2016 elections held that we are probably going to end up with either Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton as President of the United States. I fear disaster either way.

The email response regarding why the commenter could never vote for Trump is in part as follows:

“It is that [Trump] embodies virtually everything I strive to teach my young sons not to be and not to emulate.

– That being wealthy makes one morally superior.

– That material wealth is a measure of a man’s true worth.

– That boasting about sexual conquests is something to be admired or cheered.

– That every challenge to your ideas should be met not with a sound argument about the idea, but with smears, insults and put downs about the person uttering the disagreement.

– That legitimate challenges to your ideas should be met with threats of financial ruin or lawsuits.

– That the force of government should be wielded by the wealthy against the weak.

– That your failures or lack of success must always be attributed not to your lack of intelligence or initiative, but to someone else getting something that’s rightfully yours.”

My son is a better man than me. When he graduated from law school with significant student debt, he joined the Army as an enlisted soldier to pay off his student loans, served a combat tour with an infantry unit in Afghanistan, and began his legal career after his discharge.

I realize now that my son was right. You can vote for Trump for any reason you want, I never will.

Trump’s supporters are now making the same argument, without a hint of irony or self-awareness.

Sharon W,

Cruz makes a different point and one that neo has repeatedly made; that Trump if nominated will lose to Hillary. Cruz and Rubio argue that they can beat Hillary, the electibility argument.

There is another related argument that parker has made, that if Hillary wins, she gets all the blame for the coming debacle. Given the collaboration of the GOP and the MSM’s ability to lie, I’m somewhat doubtful that the LIVs will blame her. At least, not until its too late.”

“Blame?” I am sure you were saying to yourself, even as you wrote this. Because you are well aware that for many the dismantling of our system of liberty, initiative, and competitive opportunity, is a feature and not a bug.

No matter how wretched or politically unfree you become … it is not a problem to them

I have several times quoted an NYT article from Dec of 2014 which stated that 16 percent of the prime working age males, (25-54) were out of the work force.

I was flabbergasted by the fact, but much more by the nonchalant, rain falls from heaven, “progress takes its toll ” manner in which it was stated.

Today, for the first time in a long while I caught a snippet of Limbaugh. He was quoting someone named Murray’s article (Probably Chas.) on the attitudes of the Self-serving Cossetted Coastal’s attitudes to the working class in “fly-over country”.

A supposed factoid quoted, was that it was 24% of white males who were out of the workforce.

I don’t know if that is true or not. But by the shrugging attitude of the NYT as it describes ongoing demographic and political change in America, i.e., the politically arranged and policy targeted dispossession of Americans from their property, their livelihoods, and their futures, I cannot imagine what anyone would have to say to them if they commenting on the treasonous elites replied “I’ll stand back let the whole damn thing burn down and fry them as it does.”
