Conservatives on Their Heels
I really was grabbed by this podcast about Conservatives being on their heels. Listen to this. It puts into words something I've been feeling for a long, long time. Why do I rarely actually vote for a Republican candidate? This is part of the problem. I want to yell to our feeble GOP leaders "DO SOMETHING!!!" No. Conservatives spend a vast majority of their time complaining about what the leftists (Marxists) are doing. Like a football coach after loosing a game griping about how effective the other team was. I also agree with the description of Trump in this podcast. This is key stuff and I think Salsman F'ing nails it here.
He says "liberal" is clear, and described in the name. Nothing could be further from the truth. People who identify with "Liberal" are anything but liberal about self-defense, firearm rights, free speech, or any fiscal freedom.
Conservatives are now just pretend, fiscal conservatives, fueled by religion, with all the preferred social restrictions.
Both those two groups are just groups of people who are born of seeped in their opinions, without the need to develop their own opinions objectively.
I'm not convinced Trump is really different in basis; however, he is clearly different in what he chooses to implement. Trump is good because he is different than the establishment, and therefore disrupts it. He is not good because he is just good.
The GOP has been a con job against the people since its founding.
Let's start by doing away with Social Security. Just pay me the money you took with no interest and I'll be fine with that. Fair enough, right? Time for action.
In other words, we need a lot more gutsy conservatives like her.
We bleed from being infected by far too many political weasels who always manage to get themselves reelected.
"Let's start by doing away with Social Security. Just pay me the money you took with no interest and I'll be fine with that." I would be fine with that as well, but for now I'll take the payments and consider it a "Return On Investment" (even though "they" squandered my investment long ago). Edit add: I compare it to a private investment I put less money into than SS took over the years that is now paying me more than SS.
I can cure the Military enlistment/re-enlistment problem with a simple plan that is cheaper than running for a county commissioner seat in western Wyoming, and 100% effective.

Personally, I think the Twelfth Amendment should be repealed and we should allow as many political parties as possible so that the parties themselves have to clarify their platform and run on it rather than trying to appeal to everyone.
