The Demise of the “Grand Old Party” (GOP)

The Demise of the “Grand Old Party” (GOP)

The Republican Party that we came to distrust and hate was destroyed by Donald Trump – That is a FACT! Am I sorry it happened? Not in the least; I feel my prayers were not in vain and I’ve been praying for this for a long time! Bernie Sanders almost did the same thing to the Dumocrats but the “progressive establishment” wouldn’t let it happen this time but it’s coming!

But, I digress – I’ve been celebrating for several weeks now – It’s actually been fun watching the so-called “conservatives” ‘jump ship’ because they don’t like “the Donald” – I have listened for years to so-called “principled conservatives” tell us “Conservatives do not compromise on principles!” Cow pucky! The 2016 Omnibus Bill the Republican Congress passed funded every damned piece of crap program the Kenyan in the White House shoved down our throats and soon we will be over $20 Trillion in debt!

So George Will, Henry Paulson, Jr., Jeb Bush, George W. Bush, George H.W. Bush, and all the other so-called “conservatives”: Your “conservatives” Republican Congress didn’t compromise their principles, they threw them out the effing window or they never had any to begin with! You “establishment ‘conservative’” pukes are every bit as bad a your counter part party – There’s not 10¢ worth of difference between either establishment party (at today’s value of the US dollar, 10¢ is “0”) and your demise cannot come soon enough, probably, to save this nation from total economic collapse!

Now, several of you so-called conservatives are going to vote for the Hildabeast, the power-hungry-email erasing-slut the Dumocrats are running for the White House – Good! I hope you do because you obviously have more in common with her than you do with the American people! Donald Trump tapped into the frustration caused by you and your useful idiots and, believe me, there’s nobody to blame but you! Will Trump’s plans for bringing back our industrial base, increase the GDP, and begin to heal the nation from the worst and most lawless president this nation has ever been saddled with? I don’t know and won’t know until we let him and his cabinet lay out the full agenda but the American people are willing to give him a chance that you assholes won’t!

Your unbridled hatred of Donald Trump is because you know you cannot control him – He’s not a “party hack” and that pisses you off! How dare he strip you of your perceived “power” and return it to the people! Will Trump keep all of his campaign promises? That depends on the Congress. If the Republicans retain control of the House and Senate, we’ll see if those “conservatives” will work with him, like they did with the Kenyan, or will they fight him like they did when Obama first came into office? They proven to be a feckless bunch so far, so time will tell …

The American people will rebuild the Republican Party into one that, once again, represents the people; not ‘special interests”! There probably isn’t room under the new “big tent” for neo-cons but time will tell if the neo cons pull their collective heads from the position they’ve had them in all too long and smell what they’ve been shoveling out and have now become! As for you neo conservatives that are ‘jumping ship’ now and going to the Hildabeast: Don’t let the door slam on your ass as you slither out!

THE FECKLESS GOP!

THE FECKLESS GOP!

by Leon Howard

The headline reads: “Congressman Flays Obama for ‘Abandoning’ Border” and relates how Rep. Tom McClintock berates the “pretender to the White House” over the border fiasco … Then there’s this headline: “Ted Cruz Accuses Obama of Staging ‘Economic Boycott on Israel’ With Flight Ban”  … How about this one: “Sarah Palin Counts Down Obama’s Exit on Website” … Virtually every Republican with principles in berating Obama but what gets done to correct the error in the White House? Nothing!

That, then, begs the question: “Why?” Why hasn’t this man been impeached and put in prison or executed as a traitor? It doesn’t happen and will not happen because of Republican fear! “Why would they fear doing the right thing?” you ask. Fear has a numbing and freezing effect and the party “leadership” (I use that term very loosely) has become numb to all the violations of the Constitution this man and his cohorts have perpetrated on the United States, partially because they are guilty of violating our founding documents also. So, in part, they don’t want to “rock the boat” and have the Democrats calling them to task for violations.

We have become what our founding fathers warned us against: “Party Politics”! The majority of Americans feel they must belong to one party or the other and this all started because of the 12^th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution in 1804, which gave the Electoral College the duty of electing the President and Vice President. The excuse given? The Electoral College couldn’t come up with the required simple majority and the Congress had to elect the president that year and Thomas Jefferson became our third President … This, in history, was the chink in the armor many wanted to create political parties with power, where before, the political parties had no power. Before the 12^th Amendment, the Electoral College elected the President and the “runner-up” was the Vice President by default, giving another check in the “checks & balances” built into the Constitution. Under the original system, you couldn’t have a dictatorial president with the entire Executive Branch a “cheering section”, as we have today; the Vice President would be exposing a power-hungry president as soon as he reared his ugly head! Today, the VP is a toady to the president!

Every amendment since the 12^th has placed more power in the hands of the federal government and both parties have been involved up to their ‘eye-teeth’ in destroying our founding documents; all the while, paying lip-service to them! As far as the Republican and Democrat Parties are concerned, they’ve built their perfect ‘playpen’ and although they whine, cry, and rail against each other, the party “bosses” make sure they vote to keep all their toys so the American people become their “cash-cow” toys!

Every amendment since the Bill of Rights was unnecessary or strengthened the federal government over State government in direct conflict with original intent! I defy anyone to show me an amendment, since the original ten, that was “necessary” or didn’t weakened the 9^th and 10^th Amendments, protecting States’ rights or individual liberty with the possible exception of the 25^th, which clarifies the succession to the presidency if a president cannot fulfill his duties but even that one I question as being “necessary”!

Who’s to blame? We, the people, are to blame and, short of another revolution, I do not see the people correcting the problems! As I see it, the only correction, after trying the current administration for treason, would be the repeal of every amendment to the Constitution after the Bill of Rights, starting with the 11^th through the 27th  and the outlawing of the Democrat and Republican Parties!
