Threaten Independent
candidate for Extremist Agenda
If only the good old days were here, you would find the
Extreme Radical Right Wing Conservatives challenging a presidential candidate
to a duel and there would be a 50-50 chance they would lose.
Of course back then it was the bad boy Burr who challenged
Hamilton, a rising star in national politics, when Burr was Vice President and
Hamilton was about to end Burr's political career. Since dueling was illegal at the time, they
moved it from New York to New Jersey where law enforcement has an
entirely different meaning.
Once Donald Trump secured the Republican nomination this past week, the first thing that happened was the self-proclaimed elite of the GOP
establishment, those neocons who dominate the radio and television airwaves and
control all the magazines and online super-conservative press, showed their
true colors and it was not a pretty sight.
Convinced the American public is stupid and not capable of
selecting a president, while ignoring the fact Trump is well on his way to
shattering the record for most votes in a Republican primary campaign in
history, they pouted, cried foul, and declared the radical right wing
conservative philosophy was far more important than the Republican Party.
Are you kidding me?
This was the perfect example of ego, elitism, and intellectual constipation
that Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders declared the enemy of our national
interest. In colonial terms, it was an
act of treason. In today's age it is
merely the dying breath of an institutional dinosaur that considers itself the
sole hope for the future of humankind.
What is a radical right wing Republican?
This is a minuscule group of beltway eggheads, whose only
accomplishment since President Obama took office was the idiotic shutdown of
the government. Why idiotic, these
self-proclaimed fiscal conservatives managed to cost the US economy
between $12 and $24 billion before finally giving up and caving in.
In fact it was the only thing Senator Ted Cruz accomplished
since he was elected to the Senate.
So who is it that anointed the radical right wing special
interest as the spokesperson for the Republican Party? No one as far as I can ascertain. Fact is the Party of Lincoln is grounded in a
very centrist view of government balancing the left against the right,
liberalism and conservatism, and a strong central government versus state's rights.
The conservative movement became a self-proclaimed dominant
force after the term of President Ronald Reagan, a hero they quote often, but
whose philosophy of the role of government is not consistent with the radical
right. Reagan was once a Democrat,
leader of the Hollywood Screen Actors Guild, and Governor of California , hardly the perfect credentials
to lead the conservative cause.
Right wing conservatives consider the highlight of their
influence to be when the federal budget was last balanced in the late 1990's,
when the wars were launched in the early 2000's, and when Cruz shut down the
government a couple of years ago.
Seems a pretty meager benefit for a period of nearly 36
years, since Reagan took over. Fact is
the increase in government spending and the national debt has exploded over the
years in spite of the conservative efforts.
Of course, liberal spending during the same time-period has exploded
even more.
How did they do balancing the budget and slashing the National debt?
Balancing the budget took place only when Bill Clinton was
president so the conservatives can only claim partial credit. The Bush years reflect the consequences of an
aggressive worldwide war policy that did not have favorable results from a debt
standpoint.
While Obama did start out with the recession, he promised to
get us out of war, and that did not happen, so his liberal agenda helped drive
the national debt up even further. The
cumulative result of all the political promises and wasteful spending by both
parties will be a 21 trillion dollar debt when the next president takes office.
What can we expect this year?
As you listen to all the new political promises, ask yourself where the money comes from to pay for the campaign rhetoric. Our economy is stagnate, so new jobs are the
only hope for digging ourselves out of the massive fissure we fell in to and which we stand to bequeath to our children.
Here are the facts, starting with the historical data on the
national debt.
Here are the years since Reagan became president. Note even the period when Bill Clinton
balanced the federal budget, the national debt continued to increase.
At the same time the debt was increasing so was the annual
federal budget.
Here is who owns our national debt and us.
Pay attention to our candidates, a millionaire and a
billionaire, as they battle for the hearts and votes of middle class America , the
silent majority.
