And to top it all off, guess what? Romney’s “self-deportation” scheme was also attacked by DONALD TRUMP for being heartless and mean.

Yes, but Trump has seen the light and converted!

(unlike that flip-flopper Romney)

😛

Speaking of Romney, it appears that “Fear of Romney” is still a very real thing. Instapundit had a link the other day speculating about why some guy that no one had ever heard of before. And an update was added mentioning a theory that someone had suggested – namely, that the intent was to dilute the votes to the point that no one would get a clear majority, meaning that the House would be asked to pick the new president, and Romney would be chosen. Ergo, a serious belief that the entire reason why that guy is running is to throw the election to Romney.

It was about why it’s considered “news,” as in “something NEW.” Most of the reports I’ve seen about it treat it is something rather different, a change. It’s not a change.

By reporting it as news, and a big change, they are trying to instill doubt into LIVs that are considering voting for Trump. Trump loyalists may not be too thrilled, but will think it’s strategy (maybe).

IMO, Trump just does what politicians do (flip on the issues), but he doesn’t wait to get into office to do it.

…etc.

For instance, Washington probably wouldn’t have taken the job if it wasn’t pretty much understood by anyone and everyone that he was going to be the very first president

Washington refused the job of King.

The reason why they are saints is because they are vassals and servants of God, and in turn that means they are servants of humanity at large. They do not oppose humanity, nor do they seek to enslave or destroy humanity. They are, in turn, destroyed by human poison and evils usually. Which would have happened to Washington at Long Island without the divine miracle at work that saved him.

The reason why servants refuse power, is because too much power is a kind of scapegoat. Instead of doing things for themselves, the people will rely too much on their king and savior. And in that path lies vice and decadence. However, not enough power means somebody evil will become king, because the people will always “want a king” due to their personal weakness.

A person cannot serve God, and through God, pursue the kingdom of god and the salvation of human souls, if people believe that salvation comes from power over fellow human beings (i.e. the government or politics).

Kings are not always wise and just, nor do they use and make wise and just laws all the time. If they did, then mankind would always need kings, they would always be commanded to have a king on earth, by God, for the salvation of human souls. To save human souls, requires them to work on their own problems first. If they push all their problems and responsibilities on a single individual, a king, then they won’t fix their own problems. A person that wishes to serve humanity to the best, would eventually notice this problem and refuse power given to them by others, not because of the burden it puts on them as servants, but because of the harm it does to the people they serve.

That is the problem of giving or having too much power, it’s not the amount of power itself that is the problem. Power merely comes from the origins of power, which tends to be human renewable resources. The corruption it has on those giving the power, is even greater than the corruption effect it has on the person receiving the power.

If Washington could figure this out as well as others, why are the rest of humanity broken? (Including the militia and colonists that wanted to depose the Congress and install Washington as the first King) We are not all equal. Equality under God means the attitude one directs towards others is equal, because we are all subordinates of the same liege lord.

In the end, so long as a person wants to become a subordinate of human power or they wish for dominion over humanity, they cannot become saints. Thus the issue isn’t the lack of saints, the issue is that human nature falls to evil so often it is almost automatic. It takes a great amount of wisdom and willpower to resist evil, and get on the righteous path to becoming a better or saintly human being. The excuse people might use at this time is that because we have so few good humans, we have to settle for the viceful and evil to be in power. But that is, of course, the same argument for kings as before. It’s not going to improve humans.

It seems he was on the “other side” back then.

As expected of a 70 yo New York Democrat.

He also does it more easily and on a much wider scale.

Other politicians only shift when it suits a more measured strategic aim, and they will rarely shift back.

They also usually have a more nuanced and reasoned take on their shift – e.g. pointing to some other overriding principle – which is usually “telegraphed” and anticipated, rather than be a surprise.

You can’t make this stuff up.

Real saints don’t want the job. That’s one of the reasons why they’re saints – they recognize the massive burden that the job is if you’re not there for the power.

For instance, Washington probably wouldn’t have taken the job if it wasn’t pretty much understood by anyone and everyone that he was going to be the very first president, and people agreed to the whole “Constitution thing” largely with that understanding. And after he served his two terms, he fled back home.
