The Melchizedek Chronicles – Colossal Changes coming to Political Systems - Trump wrecking ball crashes onward!

After his dance with the leaders of the dark side Trump somehow managed to punish them all with his tariff war.  China, Russia, North Korea and Iran all are near economic collapse.  Throw in Venezuela for good measure, also strained to the near breaking point.  The politicians and political activists are aghast at his not politically correct words and actions.

In fact, if you listen to news accounts you might think he just started Armageddon, the final battle before the Apocalypse and the End Times.  Amazing to what lengths the news media is prepared to go to destroy Trump.  Long gone are the days of ethics and fairness in news reporting.

As for the professional political crybabies on television, they are screaming demons and one should take the time to ask why?  What is it about our corrupt, archaic, political system and institutions that is so precious to the radical left and radical right they will do anything to still stop Trump?  By the way, how quickly the Mueller Report disappeared from the front pages and lead story on the cable networks. 

Melchizedek says we entered a three-year period of “colossal changes coming to political systems.”  I say it is about time.  The radical liberals and conservatives, the Democrat and Republican parties, the hysterical Trump haters and the so-called news media, are the puppets and pawns of a much darker force than Donald Trump.

Have we forgotten that America is the boldest and grandest experiment in the history of mankind?  We are the only major nation on earth in which 95% of our population are immigrants or descendants of immigrants.

Truly we are the only true melting pot in the world where people of any race, religion, ethnic background, political persuasion or culture are all guaranteed the same rights, protection, and equal opportunity.

By our very nature, promise and Constitution we are protected from dominance by any one philosophy, culture or movement because individual freedom and equal opportunity are the bedrock of our existence.

Since we are the only true melting pot our Republic is built on a foundation of respect for differences and compromise for accommodation for all.  The people reaffirm this right in elections every two and four years.

When special interests demand one ideology be dominant in our land, whether it be liberal or conservative, Democrat inspired or Republican, and when people attempt to usurp the power of the people by imposing a single philosophy on others it is doomed and results in polarization and eventually fails.

Today we have lost the ability to communicate.  Hatred and fear have overridden all possibility for compromise and progress.  Without compromise there can be no progress.  When that happens, and it has happened many times in our short history, the Constitution provides a mechanism for the people to save our government from special interests and unfair laws.

Once again, we face the same dilemma.  People are concerned with control and dominance, not fairness and justice.  Those advocates of control and their supporters have no place in a house built on compromise, individual rights, and guaranteed equality for all.

When our Fourth Estate, the news media, lose their sense of objectivity as it has and starts trying to promote one side of a policy over another the media no longer functions as a watchdog for the people, all the people, but as an advocate for special interests.  One wonders if maybe biased media should be required to register as a special interest lobbyist to show their true colors.

In the past presidents have always worked with Congress, majority and minority parties, toward compromise in order to solve problems.  That ended in the Obama years.  Unfortunately, he had neither the foresight nor experience to forge political alliances and preserve this presidential function.

When leaders want to impose their agenda on the people, rather than carry out the agenda of those who elected them, they are doomed to failure in a Constitutional Republic designed to prevent dominance by any one person, group or party.

Any crisis America faces will be solved when the people decide what is needed and they use the ballot to force change on the system.  Once again, we have reached the crisis stage, and once again only the people can say what America must do.

The shocking victory of Trump in the GOP primary, the only non-politician among political giants, was the first sign of a major political overhaul of our system.  His subsequence election victory over the overwhelming favorite Hillary Clinton was the people’s stunning reaffirmation that enough was enough, our political house must be disassembled and rebuilt in order to return to a Constitutional Republic as envisioned by our Founding Fathers.

                    

Unfortunately, it seems memories are short in our nation’s capital.  Both the news people and politicians seem to be suffering from hysterical amnesia.  They are no longer twisting the media spin to their benefit but are living the lies they manufacture to justify their hate-filled rants.

As the news media parade an endless stream of former intelligence officials and national security “experts” to trash Trump before the cameras, I noted the incredible hypocrisy of the anti-Trump legions.  Just a decade ago the same people were trashing Presidents Bush and Obama because of the massive and illegal actions by the very same intelligence agencies, including many of the current TV stars being interviewed from those agencies, for the greatest invasion of privacy in history and trampling over of our individual rights.

Not only was every American citizen a victim of the insidious “Big Brother” action, so were the heads of state of every major nation in the world including our closest allies.  Their private phone lines were illegally taped and monitored by US intelligence agencies.  How quickly we forget the truth.

Yesterday’s villains are today's heroes, at least in the minds of the news media and misguided followers who actually believe their brand of nonsense.  Never have I seen so many people so hysterically embrace hatred, bias, distortion and misdirection with such passion, possibly since the time of the persecution and murder of Jesus of Nazareth, and that job was botched up as well.

By now, as we approach the end of the third year of the Trump presidency and with all the power and resources of the intelligence agencies, the Justice Department, the news media, the Democratic and Republican parties, and their friends and benefactors who control much of our wealth, their relentless effort to throw out Trump has failed miserably.

No politician in our history has been under a more massive and coordinated attack for such a sustained period of time yet Trump continues his own relentless campaign to clean up the mess we call government.

Why, because he is not a politician.  He is an outsider who happened to succeed without the help of big bankers, big corporations, political parties and Wall Street.  Trump was not bought and paid for like Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama or Bill Clinton.

Funny, all three became multi-millionaires because they were president or nominated to be president.  Trump did not need a government job and power to make millions, he earned it before he ever ran for public office.

Make no mistake, Trump is far from an endearing president but perhaps he is just what was needed to reign in the power of government, stop the corruption at all levels of government, reform laws and regulations not in the public interest, and to realign our position in the world.

No professional politician stood a chance of bringing about such badly needed reform.  There was no accountability in government nor responsibility for the actions of the government.  The financial predators and sharks controlled the money for campaigns and leveraged it to buy off enough elected officials to maintain a system that was rotten to the core, not just in America, but around the world.

Yet people, the voters, understood, at least the vast majority of people who were not part of the partisan political cesspool.  This did not happen overnight.  Way back in 1972 Ross Perot, a businessman and Independent, got 20% of the presidential vote costing George Bush his re-election and thrusting Bill Clinton to the presidency with barely 41% of the registered vote.

By the time Barack Obama was first elected in 2008 nearly 50% of all eligible voters refused to even register to vote, such was their disgust with politicians.  When Obama was re-elected in 2012 it was the first time less than 50% of eligible voters participated in an election.  In truth, only about 25% of eligible voters voted Obama president.  Still it got worse.  By the end of Obama’s presidency in 2016 for the first time in our history there were more registered Independents than either Democrats or Republicans.

One need only ask Bernie Sanders how honest the political system was when he faced Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primary campaign.  Secret deals between Obama and Clinton were made to bankrupt the Democratic National Committee (DNC), then allow the Clinton campaign to secretly bail out the DNC while giving Hillary control of the actions and resources of the DNC.  She was in a tightly contested primary battle with Sanders when this took place.  Bernie never had a chance to win the primary because the DNC super delegates were already secretly pledged to Hillary.

By the way, in light of the media hype about how Putin said he wanted Trump to win against Hillary, you might have noticed what the media forgot to ask.  Why did the media not ask if Putin wanted Trump to win or Hillary to lose?  Why do they forget to mention the Russians also wanted Bernie Sanders to win the Democratic primary against Hillary?  No matter who won the GOP primary, they would be the prefered favorite for the Russians.  

Putin and Hillary were mortal enemies ever since she was Obama’s Secretary of State and used her office to condemn him and place sanctions on Russia.  Trump was not even a viable candidate at the time Hillary was hacked, and Trump was given no chance to win anything.  There is also some story involving a feud between Putin and the Clinton Foundation to add to the mystery.

When Trump stunned the world and won the primary there was no other choice for Putin but to hope Trump won against Hillary, against all odds.  Make no mistake, no one’s hands were clean during this election campaign.  Trump knew nothing of the political process and it showed.  Still, he was the last one standing and the only non-political outsider available to the people.

No one gave him a chance to win right up to election day when all the media predicted a solid Hillary victory.  No one, that is, except me when I predicted a Trump victory several weeks before the election and posted it in the Huffington Post as a Huffington Post Contributor.

My conclusion was based on a multi-decade trend of increasing distrust of all politicians from both parties born out by the polls.  In addition, I watched the increasing flight of Democrats and Republican voters switch to the Independent registration.  Finally, I expected Hillary to dominate the Black vote, but fall far short of the total Obama received when he barely won his two elections.

Trump’s victory had nothing to do with Russia, Russian collusion, or Putin's pat with Hillary.  It had everything to do with voter frustration over partisan politics in Washington, D.C., the cozy relationship between professional politicians and financiers, and institutional corruption.

Blond Brexit Brothers - Boris Johnson and Donald Trump

Today, the losers from both ends of the political spectrum, Democrats hating Trump and Republicans afraid of Trump, sense the death knell of their quest to deny Trump his presidency.  As do the losers in the media who are in danger of losing all their anonymous sources of classified government information.

With the consistent collapse in news media ratings, the loss of millions of viewers, and the loss of millions of newspaper subscribers, not to mention the huge loss of advertising revenues, the news media has paid a dear price trying to undermine the Trump presidency.

Trump is no saint, but he certainly is an agent of change who was given a chance to fix what the politicians could not fix.  He was also given a chance by the American voters to show us what he can do to clean up the mess.  His opponents are fueled by blind hatred of the outsider.  They ignore the Constitution and will of the people.  In truth they are the protectors of the status quo.

To succeed they ignore their own religious beliefs and the teachings of Jesus and embrace a very dark and toxic attitude.  They will fail.  Trump will easily win re-election in 2020 and may finally get the chance to show us what he can do.

At that point we can give a great big sigh of relief in knowing our Constitution is intact, it worked as expected, and once again the People have spoken.

The Melchizedek Chronicles - What to do about Trump! What is the right thing to do about Trump!

Like him or not, Trump was elected President of the United States of America and he deserves a fair chance to fulfill his destiny as all presidents have been given.

America is a beacon of light to the world because it has never wavered from the underlying principles upon which it was founded, freedom, equal opportunity, individual liberty and justice for all.

It is a nation of diversity in religion, culture, race and opportunity whose strength is found in a divinely inspired ability to demonstrate to the world that our Republic transcends special interests and seeks out fair compromise.

We are competitive, yet will always accept the will of the people in the end, because standing as one is always stronger and serves the greatest good for all.

Throughout our history there have been many hard fought and derisive presidential elections, but in the end the people of America come together and support the winner in order to honor the will of the people.

Andrew Jackson, Abraham Lincoln and Franklin Roosevelt are a sampling of those presidents who overcame tremendous opposition, division and disruption in order to help heal our nation and keep it on track during dangerous times in our history.

Divine destiny guides this nation, thrusting the most unlikely of people into roles they never expected to play to preserve the Republic and give hope to the world.

Sadly, our recent presidential election came at a time when darkness was beginning to shroud our principles and empower those whose own interests overshadowed the interests of the people.

Hatred and animosity between political parties, philosophies, the news media and bureaucracy were clouding the actions and judgments of people and assured there would be no healing after the election.

Twenty days before the presidential election, when Trump looked like there was no chance to stop the Clinton machine, I posted an article as a contributor on the most liberal of all media outlets, the Huffington Post, and it described what would happen election night with Trump finally winning in the middle of the night to the shock of the media, the candidates, the political pundits, the nation and the world.  On election day it happened almost exactly as I wrote it would.  Ironically, on the morning of election day the Huffington Post declared to the world Hillary Clinton would win.

Sometimes there is no explanation for destiny.  Sometimes there are divine interventions to keep the world on track.  Sometimes, as Melchizedek says, we have to look for the good in adversity.  President Trump’s election victory may very well be one of those moments.  You do not always have to be the good guy to get good things done, and there is little doubt that America faced a dark future if things did not change.

Polarization was becoming a dark, powerful force on the political horizon before Trump got elected.  The previous Administrations sold out the people to appease special interests, as in financial, banking, defense, pharmaceutical drugs and health care interests.

Our Constitutional government was being undermined by a series of selfish and greedy actions to protect the wealthy at the expense of the people.  Things were not improving, they were getting worse and politicians were in the middle of a firestorm.  Campaign finance laws were thrown out, thus opening the floodgates to unlimited money flowing to the political campaign committees.

As jobs were lost, health care did not improve, but the cost of health care, and prescription drugs spiraled out of control.  Home mortgages were fraudulent, college tuition costs exploded, jobs were moved out of the country, unnecessary wars were being fought, draconian government acts hurt the people, and billions upon billions of dollars flowed into the coffers of a very small group of very wealthy people.

Corruption came to a head when the Bill Clinton administration regulatory reforms, on top of the Clinton NAFTA trade agreement, triggered the ENRON disaster and the subprime mortgage crisis nearly destroying the nation’s economy in 2008.

The Obama administration recovery program and Obamacare signed into law March 23, 2010, his only major legislative accomplishment, opened the door further to protecting financial and auto corporations and the pharmaceutical industry price increases among other consequences.

Of course, throughout the Bush and Obama administrations, war after war further fueled the military industrial complex and drained the economy.

From 1996 (Clinton) to 2008 (Obama) the cost of the presidential campaigns more than doubled and Obama broke the billion-dollar glass ceiling on his way to a job that paid $400,000 a year.  Money, power and prestige now controlled the presidency, shielded corruption, protected special interests, made the rich a lot wealthier, made middle class former presidents multi-millionaires, and seduced the media because of the billions and billions of dollars pouring into political campaigns.

That brings us to the 2016 election and Hillary Clinton, the heir apparent to the political machine built by Bill Clinton and Barack Obama with access to huge wealth thanks to Goldman Sachs and others deeply imbedded in the Clinton and Obama organizations, and the ability to implement special interest regulatory reforms.

All was good for the long-term future of the new political Establishment and to the media it was just a matter of anointing Hillary Clinton queen.  No one could stand up to the Clinton – Obama machine.  Things looked quite rosy for the liberals, progressives, the new Establishment, the media parasites, financial manipulators, endless special interest groups throwing money at the politicians, and the bureaucratic structure responsible for maintaining the cozy relationship and keeping their jobs.

After the Bush years followed by the Obama Hollywood presidency a Clinton ordination was imminent.  Who was left to defend the people and oversee the new Establishment when that Establishment included all the former watchdogs and protectors of the public interest?

To anyone with a clear head it was blatantly obvious the media, once protector of the people, changed sides and was now engaged in destroying anyone who might threaten the Hillary dream machine.

Ask Bernie Sanders if the deck was stacked against him and what it was like to be a threat.  He had no chance of a fair primary against Hillary thanks to the Obama super delegates secretly pledged to Clinton, the fundraising monopoly of the Obama/Clinton Establishment, and the secret buyout of the supposedly independent DNC by the Clinton campaign.

All the special interests were involved and protected and even the bureaucracy was on board since the Obama appointees effectively controlled the wheels of justice and would remain in control under the Clinton succession.  Self-preservation of jobs for thousands of high-paid government appointees was a strong incentive to bend over backwards to protect your patron.

Perhaps there is no greater threat to the American democracy than when the Fourth Estate, the Constitutionally protected defenders of freedom of speech, give up their objectivity and take sides in an election.  The Bill Clinton and Obama years proved too strong a seduction for the free press to remain free.

There was a strange conglomeration of events coming together which forever changed the face and action of the media.  Huge corporations began buying up the 25,000 media outlets in America and applying profit demands on the news groups.  The news reporters, long free of the pressure to make money for their organizations, suddenly became the avenue for survival with their access to the politicians who were fast becoming the biggest spenders in media.

With the broadcast and cable news consolidations there was no way to go back.  When the Internet suddenly exploded beginning during the Clinton years but rapidly overtaking all traditional media in the Obama years, the same special interests that controlled the politicians could compromise the independence of the media.

Former media measures of integrity like objectivity, independence, and investigative reporting became tools to protect the establishment by using them as opposition weapons for the political campaigns.  It was now possible for the news media to become the makers of news rather than reporters, and for the reporters to become celebrities and news makers.

With the Internet news dominating the minds of the public twenty-four hours a day, they were free to inject bias, unregulated, unethical and immoral news content to a mesmerized public.  Preservation of the Clinton/Obama Establishment was the core of the hypnotic messaging coordinated throughout the broadcast, cable and Internet news services.

For the first time in our history most of the independent media took sides, with a constant and coordinated campaign to preserve the Establishment fueled by the never-ending billions of special interest dollars.

Such mass messaging with the hypnotic consistency of constant repetition while no effort is being made to validate facts, and autonomous sources now dominate the news, is a recipe for disaster.  Of course, anyone against that Establishment whether moderate or conservative is the enemy.

No professional politician could challenge the control of the money brokers, special interests and media because they were products of the same Establishment.  If America was ever to get back to the political center where it was most comfortable, it would take a total outsider to make the challenge.

Such an outsider would have to be meaner, tougher, stronger, more independent and non-political while being far removed from the political and financial establishment controlling our nation.  At the same time, they would have to be indifferent and unafraid of the news media sworn to protect the status quo and destroy opposition.

Finding a disrupter of that magnitude seemed impossible.  Then along came Trump swaggering down the sweeping escalator of the swank and mysterious Trump Tower, cocky, a true non-politician, yet an ivy leaguer and quite rich.  Not a politician but well experienced in the entertainment media he had no fear of the power of the press.  In fact, Trump used the Internet for his own direct media connection to the people through the use of Tweets.

Wealthy enough to not need to make money if he was elected, he did not trust the stock markets so he was not beholden to most of the financial sector.  Choosing to largely ignore the media and political parties, he was confident he could improve the lives of others because he knew, as a businessman, how the game was played.

As a result of these things he was free to do or say whatever he wanted and there were no strings attached.  Most likely to his surprise, and certainly to the shock of Obama, Clinton, the news media, the wealthy, the Establishment, the nation and rest of the world, he beat all the odds and the morning after the election, November 9, the world awoke to the astonishing news that Donald Trump would be the forty-fifth president of the United States.

Nothing like the forty-four presidents who preceded him.  Cocky but not particularly polished. No politician, Loyal to neither political party.  Suspicious of the news media.  Could care less what the media or professional politicians thought of him.

Oh, he has his faults but somehow, he connects to people, never talking over their head.  He speaks a truth they understand, says what is on his mind that others would never dare say.  Sometimes he is loose with the facts, but most politicians are that way.

Upsetting – yes.  Lacks diplomacy – sometimes.  Demonstrates anger – sure when warranted.  Not a polished statesman – never said he was one.  Has regrets – hardly.  Fears failure – has no idea what that means.

Trump is Trump.  What you see and hear is what you get.  A rock-solid patriot.  A protector of all people.  A defender of American values.  Champion of American greatness.

My next article will address what is being done to lift the shadow of darkness enveloping America through Trump, in spite of the refusal by much of the media and establishment to accept him as president.  What is the role of divine intervention and destiny in the reign of President Trump?  Finally, what are the consequences for those dedicated to denying him his rightful destiny.

The 1,000-pound gorilla threatening to send the Democrat Party into "Oblivion’’ - Patriotism

Part 2 of 4 – Patriotism

Throughout our 242-year history Americans have consistently been one of the most patriotic nations on Earth.  Regardless of which political party controlled the Congress or the Presidency, or tried to influence the Supreme Court, the people have always supported the nation and our Constitution.

Examples of this undying patriotism must include never wavering in the face of such challenges as the War of Independence, the Civil War, World Wars I and II, the Great Depression, the assassination of Presidents, the 1968 Democratic Party National Convention riots, the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr., and the Schizophrenia Sixties.

The sixties, probably the most destructive, divided, depressing, disgusting, and drug-driven decade in the history of the world.  For those of you who missed the lessons of the sixties, you must thank God you did.  For those who were there but seemed to have lost the years in a fog, it is a good thing to have memory loss of the sixties.

Patriotism was the fabric that carried us through those monumental challenges.  It is the core of our existence and the spirit that propelled us, as a people, to be the sole beacon of hope in a world of fear and uncertainty.  It brought us to where we are today, the only Super Power left standing.

As stated by our forefathers:

Declaration of Independence

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness”

“We, therefore, the Representatives of the United States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions”

“And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.”

Pledge of Allegiance

"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

As our forefathers clearly established, truths were self-evident, all were equal, all are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.  And we acknowledge a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence.

The Declaration of Independence, Constitution and Bill of Rights are the perpetual gifts of our forefathers born of divine inspiration when the colonists were prepared to go to war against the world super power, the British Empire.  The colonist’s commitment, to pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.

In terms of the Democratic party there has been a shift over the past few decades as policy moved from the party that conquered religious liberty with the election of JFK in 1960, to the party today that has worked for years to discredit the founding references to God, the Creator, or Divine Providence, whichever God you so choose.

It began with the party leadership position to attack the credibility of God through the separation of Church and State argument.  First the Nativity Scenes were banned from public property, then the Ten Commandments removed from courtrooms and legislative chambers in court houses and all public buildings, while praying, religious photos or artwork, and the Cross were banned from public schools.

At times it seemed as if the Democratic party had morphed from “Moderate” under John Kennedy to liberal, then progressive, and finally the socialist party of today.

I wonder about a political system like socialism.  Whenever it wins over a nation, and has established the mindset that everyone is equal and everything belongs to all of us, then turns over control to an elite group of leaders who immediately exempt themselves from all laws, where are they going?

Then the socialists tear up the old constitution, take all the money, land and wealth from the rich and redistribute it to everyone.  Next the businesses owned by the former wealthy are nationalized by the state driving away the aristocrats who knew how to run a business and replacing them with the proletariat who had no clue.

By now critics of the government are silenced or killed off to prevent any erosion of control.  Remember that liberal news media as you continue in your blatant efforts to undermine the Constitutional Republic and replace it with socialism.  Do whatever it takes to provide cradle to grave goodies to the people.

Where does that leave us?

We just squandered all the wealth, confiscated then corrupted before destroying all businesses, and promised the people all sorts of very expensive goodies, i.e., jobs, wages, housing, food, safety, health care and layers upon layers of bureaucratic rules and regulations to make sure no one could ever take away all those goodies from you.

They forgot to mention their House of Cards lacked foundation so when it started to fail, they let it go bankrupt and poof, the well runs dry.  The people, left with nothing, begin to awaken to the lies, illusions, and deceptions they once embraced.  But no one and nothing is left to save them.

Attacks on God are attacks on patriotism.

So is kneeling down during the national anthem in protest while insulting the sacred nature of the Flag, an action embraced by the Democrats of today.

Our forefathers clearly recognized only one kingdom we were beholden to, the Kingdom of God.  We are the human side of God’s Kingdom, his creation on Earth.  But God is not a religion, it is a divine presence that oversees all of creation.  The Creator belongs to no one group of humans but all humans, no religion or race but all religions and races.

The Democrats seem to be at war with God and the teachings of His or Her Son, in spite of the distinction that we pledge to live under divine law and influence.  To ignore it is to also lose all honor.

Is it so easy to cast aside founding principles like being endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness?  And we acknowledge a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence.

Add to the unpatriotic image of the Democrats, efforts to replace constitutional law with rules and regulations, or replace them with “administrative law” rulings from the Supreme Court.

Attacks on the Supreme Court, challenges to the laws of the Constitution including illegal immigration, universal health care, gun control, expansion of abortions even impeachment of the president for no viable cause, all put the Democrats at odds with the Constitution.

There is the rioting, protests, flag burning, screaming in congress, accosting people in public places, violating people's privacy, and an endless stream of fake news, distortions and downright nasty activities.

On most social issues the people are pretty evenly split, nearly 50-50.  Advocating one position over the other loses 50% support immediately.  People who label themselves “progressive” total just 8% of the electorate, yet the vast majority of Democratic party positions are far left progressive.

Even the liberal or moderate Democrats are caught at cross purposes from the party leadership.  Add to them the Independents who already left the two political parties because they were disgusted with platforms and tactics, and you have a foundation, well you have a House of Cards waiting for the first wind to come along and destroy it.

It seems as if the Democratic party made a conscious decision to embrace radical ideas over common sense, resistance over negotiation and compromise, attacks over hope and character assassination over helping all Americans.  Patriotism is not relevant to the party of today, but might not be forgotten by those the DNC are trying to brainwash.
