Another Defeat: The Elephants Struggle

The Republicans are the Atlanta Falcons of politics. Losers from Loserville. Early last month the real Falcons showed the sporting world how to blow a 25-point lead, insurmountable by practical standards, and lose a Super Bowl in spectacular, if typical, Atlanta fashion. Yesterday, not to be out-done, the GOP squandered control of the House, the Senate, and the White House, losing their bid to reform ObamaCare for something like the 60th time.

It’s worse really, and not just because millions actually depend on the outcome. Atlanta lost to the greatest team, coach, and quarterback in history – all striding through the second half like no team has before (or likely will after). Trump, Ryan, and Co. “lost” to a Democrat party with no clear leadership, no agenda, and no motives. Failure to internally think, plan, and communicate led the Speaker to pull the AHCA Bill just prior to a vote.

Republicans abruptly pulled their health care bill from the House floor on Friday, just minutes ahead of a planned vote, dealing a devastating blow to efforts by President Donald Trump and the GOP to repeal and replace Obamacare.

“This is a disappointing day for us,” Speaker Paul Ryan told reporters shortly after the bill was yanked. “Doing big things is hard. All of us, myself included, will need time to reflect how we got to this moment, what we could have done to do it better.”

Ryan said he told Trump around noon the White House that they didn’t have the Republican votes needed to pass the bill. “I told him that the best thing I think to do is to pull this bill and he agreed with that decision,” Ryan said.

Speaking via phone later at 3:00 p.m. EST, Trump said Democrats in the House — all of whom had planned to vote against the bill — shoulder the blame for the defeat. “Obamacare is exploding,” the president said in the Oval Office. “With no Democrat support, we couldn’t quite get there. We were just a very small number of votes short in terms of getting our bill passed.”

“I’m disappointed,” Trump said, adding, “I’m a little surprised to be honest with you.”

Welcome to Washington, Mr. Trump. The irresistible force has met the immovable object. Even the Donald’s charismatic juggernaut has limits.

A friend and I debated whether the circus clown might be a better symbol for the GOP than the noble elephant. I think I’ve found a better. The elephant is large, powerful, dangerous even. And it is a smart animal, as animals go. No relation to the GOP in the 21st Century. No, a better mascot would be the jellyfish: a brainless, spineless creature dedicating to drifting the currents and soaking up nutrients. As seemingly harmless as it is useless, it can still deliver a nasty sting to those foolish enough to associate with it. Trump feels the burning sting this weekend.

In fairness, the Repubs have been working on repealing, repealing and replacing, or amending ObamaCare for seven years. Only seven. It took the Democrats over 15 years to craft the law – from Bill and Hillary’s hints in 1992-3 to Obama’s collusion with Big Insurance and the Devil in 2010. But the Dems really are stubborn like donkeys. They bide their time and plan strategically. The predictable failure of ObamaCare even fits their long-term plans for socialism.

The “conservatives” have no plans and no idea how to handle authority. Monday, they’ll be on to a similar debacle with tax cuts. However, then (or now), they will find the debt ceiling looming once again on the D.C. horizon. The debt will rise; it always does. This year promises, perhaps, some extra suspense and entertainment.

Well, as much of those things as a jellyfish can generate.

Congressional Republicans, The Ever Evolving Definition of “Pitiful”

Congress, Donald Trump, GOP, government, insanity, ObamaCare, Republicans

Or is that “devolving”?

The only character from fiction that even comes close to approximating the pathetic, stupid, useless, and tortured evil of the GOP is Gollum. Even he falls short, he having some unique talents and an ultimate, if unlikely, purpose.

I honestly see no redeeming value to the Republican Party. They lack even comedic value. Note: Trump is a titular “Republican” only; President Trump is really a …. Trump. Love him or hate him. he sure as hell tries. And he seems to have fun with. And he exhibits a devil-may-care attitude. This all may or may not turn out well but it is undeniably more noble than the righteous do nothing but still manage to screw up anyway insanity of his party.

The Democrat Party also stands head and shoulders above the GOP as a party – usually. They took a beating from Trump and are in understandable disarray. Again, love ’em or hate ’em, they command a certain level of respect due to their tenacity and consistency. They want to redefine the demographics of the U.S. – they do it. They want to crash Western civilization – you know when they try. They say they’ll socialize something – done. They want to raise taxes – done. Whatever it is, good or bad, they get it done.

The Republicans seem to have existed lately only to provide weak, nominal resistance to the ultimate Democratic victories. And that’s it. They have no strategy and no ability to lead independent or their sad, schizophrenic dependency. I think the last Republican with a will of his own was Abraham Lincoln (and that will was to wreck the Constitution and kill people).

Yes, yes, Republicans do a good job of throwing bombs and raising debt levels. But they always do so only with copious Democratic assistance.

So it is that the GOP has absolutely no idea what they’re doing with regard to Obamacare, the ACA:

Republicans love cutting taxes, especially if they were authored by a president named Barack Obama. But as they push their wobbly effort to erase his health care overhaul, they’re divided over whether to repeal the levies the law imposed to finance its expanded coverage for millions of Americans.

It’s a trillion-dollar dilemma – actually closer to $1.1 trillion. That’s the 10-year price tag the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office puts on revenue the government would lose if the law’s taxes on wealthy people, the insurance and pharmaceutical industries and others were eliminated.

Republicans and President Donald Trump have been edging away from their promise to quickly eliminate Obama’s entire law. Still, annulling its taxes would be a partial victory and is irresistible for many GOP lawmakers and the conservative voters at the core of their support.

“We should do full repeal,” said Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, a leading House conservative. “And full repeal means not taking the taxes” from people.

Yet voiding those levies erases a mammoth war chest Republicans would love to have – and may well need – as they try replacing Obama’s law. It’s a major rift GOP leaders face as they try crafting a health care package that can pass Congress.

“These are sources of revenue you just can’t discount,” said Rep. Patrick Meehan, R-Pa., a member of the Tuesday Group of GOP pragmatists. He said the money could help “create a soft landing and coverage for those who currently rely on Obamacare.”

Imagine a fool (the GOP), standing on the railroad tracks. Even the fool can see the flaming wreck of a train (Obamacare) speeding towards him. All he has to do to save himself is step off. However, this fool is so stupid that all he can do is equivocate about stepping left or right. At the same time he obsesses about the kinetic value of the train and how to possibly replace it with yet another flaming wreck. The train is seconds away from impact.

This scenario would be hilarious except that, in our case, the fool’s demise will derail the train, crashing it into our house.

Whatever. The Masters is only a few weeks away…

Deport Congress … Now

America, Congress, crime, deportation, Donald Trump, immigration, law, Republicans

Republicans have long had a unique use and calling in politics – to cave in and go along to get along – no matter the subject. Now, they can add to their useless reputations the nuance of stabbing Americans in the back as hard as their feeble, bloated arms might allow.

Donald Trump got elected last year in part because Americans are sick of their borders being overrun by law-breakers. They want some semblance of the old country back. They want illegals removed. Candidate Trump said he got it. President-elect Trump may still get it. Paul Ryan, who would lose a popularity contest to D.C. sewer rats, will never get it.

Congressional Republicans are working with the Trump transition team on a solution for immigrants brought illegally to this country as kids, House Speaker Paul Ryan said Thursday.

Hundreds of thousands of these immigrants gained temporary protections and work permits from President Obama. While campaigning for president, Donald Trump promised to undo those protections, putting the immigrants at risk of deportation, although he said last month he hoped to “work something out” to help them.

Ryan didn’t detail what Congress and Mr. Trump would do about the program, called Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA. But when questioned on a CNN town hall by a woman who identified herself as a DACA recipient with a young daughter, Ryan told her he did not want to see her deported.

“I can see you love your daughter, you are a nice person who has a great future ahead of you, and I hope your future is here,” Ryan said.

“What we have to do is find a way to make sure that you can get right with the law, and we’ve got to do this in a good way so that the rug doesn’t get pulled out from under you and your family gets separated.”

Host Jake Tapper pointed out that Mr. Trump, during the campaign, promised a “deportation force” to round up the more than 11 million immigrants in the country illegally. Ryan dismissed that idea.

“I’m here to tell you in Congress, it’s not happening.”

Instead, Ryan said Mr. Trump has asked lawmakers to focus on two priorities with respect to illegal immigration: securing the border and deporting immigrants who are violent, repeat criminals.

House GOP lawmakers and aides have also said recently they’re working on how to pay for border security to make good on Mr. Trump’s promise of building a wall on the border with Mexico, although at least initially taxpayers would foot the bill – not Mexico, as Mr. Trump promised.

DACA has extended work permits and temporary deportation relief to more than 700,000 immigrants brought illegally to this country as youths since its creation in 2012. Mr. Trump has said it and other Obama executive actions are unconstitutional, since they involved going around Congress, a position Ryan repeated Thursday.

DACA permits need to be renewed every two years, so Mr. Trump could cancel out the program over time by ordering agencies to stop processing new applications and renewals. There is high anxiety in immigrant communities about what he will do.

“We have to figure out how to have a humane solution to this very legitimate, sincere problem and respect the rule of law,” Ryan said.

Why build a wall at this point? Why secure the borders? Why even have laws or a play-pretend facade of a nation? Based on the foregoing, the only reason I can come up with is to give jobs to the otherwise unemployable like Ryan.

This is the legacy of the package of total lies known as the Immigration Act of 1965. It’s in the spirit of the GOP/Reagan betrayals of 1986. The former was not going to change anything. The latter was a one-time, never-gonna-happen-again solution (a cave-in). Yet here we are in 2017 facing more lies and more caving. And back-stabbing.

I ask my Republican-voting friends, how can you support this gang of liars and thieves? Dear Democrat friends, please do not smirk; “your” team is right beside and behind the GOP traitors.

Fine. I offer a “humane solution to this very legitimate, sincere problem”: deport Congress. The Dreamers, the criminals, the terrorists, and the welfarians can stay. Just give us 535 deportations. Deport Congress. All of them. Now. January 20th will be fine. Where? Anywhere that isn’t the U.S. I suppose the open ocean or Antarctica might do. Space, possibly.

Trump could accomplish this with a single Executive Order and a battalion of Marines. And there is legal precedent for it: see the strange case of Clement L. Vallandigham (D-Ohio).

They just have to go. Pick any illegal alien and you’ve automatically found someone more American that any of our Congressional trash. It’s really time to take it out.

Speculation abounds that the Donald might be trying to throw the election to Hillary. Rumor is he doesn’t really want the office and he and the Clintons have been friends for some time.

I still think he’s in. It makes little difference either way. I’ve long said American politics has degenerated into a WWE (WWF for us seniors) carnival act. The Democrats and Republicans play “heels” and “faces” and then trade off as the scripted plot develops. Regardless of which side they’re on, the TV wrestlers all work for Vince McMahon and the overall goal is to keep fans watching and paying. It’s the same with the “two-party” system. The politicians all work for the banks and the goal is to get you watching (but not too close) and paying.

I’ve said and written that for years. Now, people on the Republican side are actually starting to mimic the Godfather of WWF fame.

The Constitution: Laughable Mention

America, Constitution, Democrats, Donald Trump, election, government, politics, Republicans

Amid the uproar about Donald Trump and the family of a dead Muslim (U.S.) soldier, I caught a flippant mention of the Constitution.

Khizr Khan, angry with Trump, stated and asked: “Donald Trump, you are asking Americans to trust you with our future. Let me ask you: Have you even read the US constitution? I will gladly lend you my copy. In this document, look for the words liberty and equal protection of law.”

He held up a pocket-copy of the old parchment as an exhibit. The donkey crowd cheered wildly. This, at a convention for people who regularly brag about flouting the Constitution and make fun of those who attempt to hold the government accountable under it. (“Are you serious!?”).

_20160801_111215

Khan’s may have been the only mentions of “Constitution” and “liberty” during the whole days-long affair. I wonder if his speech was preceded by a trigger warning?

Trump may or may not have read the Constitution. He may or may not know or care why it was adopted or what it means (used to mean…). The rest of the Democrats and Republicans might know too but they obviously don’t care. It’s a moot point anyway at this late hour. Still, for a moot point it was pretty funny.

A last word on the GOP no vote BS out of Colorado. Last night I took a look at Rush’s “Us v. Them” approach to politics. Now I’ll turn it over to good old Vox Day, who adds a recent historical perspective and a blunt assessment:

Remember, this is the same Republican party who said we had to invade Iraq to bring democracy there and waxed ecstatic over purple fingers. Now they’re running with the “it’s a representative republic, not a democracy” line. And if you still believe that they care about anything but maintaining their own power, you’re a fool.

Of course, given that he is ineligible for the presidency anyhow, Cruz probably doesn’t care that he is now regarded as an illegitimate candidate for the nomination.

  • A Voterless Victory, Vox.

At this point we might as well replace the bald eagle with the fool.

Mile High Mania or Why I Stopped Listening To Rush Limbaugh

America, Democrats, elections, politics, Republicans, Rush Limbaugh

Rush has been broadcasting for years and years now. When he first started I was a fan. He was honest, provocative and entertaining. He preached a message of macho conservatism in support of Ronald Reagan’s philosophy and heir, G.H.W. Bush. Bush turned out to be a horrible flop. In retrospect Reagan was too. Conservatives always forget about Reagan’s debt and government expansion, his gun control and immigration amnesty. Bill Clinton’s two terms were the best things that ever happened to Rush; he had something to shoot at and shoot he did.

Then something funny happened. Rush’s Republican party won everything. Oddly, the country continued to slide. Turns out Republicans govern just as poorly as Democrats. Rush finally settled into the role of GOP cheerleader – the squad captain. He praised Bush for doing things he had criticized Clinton for. He lost me.

Some things never change. Today Rush is of the party and for the party. The candidates don’t really matter that much, the voters certainly don’t. Consider what happened to the Republican (non) primary in Colorado. The state party decided to forgo an election and just pick Ted Cruz. Voters are not happy. Rush is fine with the process because it is from the party and for the party. Ted Cruz Isn’t Cheating, He’s Winning, according to Rush.  Click the link to read the transcript from Rush’s show today (or not – probably not).

Like the old bumper sticker said, “Rush is right”. He is. I said basically the same thing this morning. The Colorado GOP is, like the party in general, a private club. They can set their rules and procedures as they like. I think what happened is pathetic and an indication of how pitiful things are in the body politic. Rush is just happy a Republican won something Republican. Republican.

In that transcript you didn’t read Rush notes that when the GOP does something like this it is not cheating, just procedural. However, he points out that when the Democrats do the exact same thing, benefiting Hillary over Bernie, that is cheating. We can succinctly sum up Rush’s entire career: Democrats, bad; Republicans, good. Like any cheerleader he fights hard for his team.

And, that is all it is: teams in a stupid, stupid game played by the lowest dregs America has to offer. It will not change except that it will get worse. Go ahead and cheer…er…vote for your team – if they let you.

Your Vote Means Nothing…If You Get One

Rock the vote! Vote or die! Every vote counts. Every election there’s a new slogan to entice the public to the Diebold booths. It reminds me of the snake oil sales pitches of old, stirring but meaningless, empty. An internet meme has given us a better, more accurate description of the process: Voting, the slaves’ suggestion box. That is, so long as the slaves are allowed to vote.

Voters, Republican voters, in Colorado have been disenfranchised this year. The story broke quietly last year. Now, as 1 Million are deprived of presidential input – no primary, no caucus tally – people are angry. Well, the Donald and his supporters are angry. Ted Cruz won the Mile High State’s GOP delegates without any public vote. The State Republican party decided last year to change their rules regarding nominee selection by putting the choice in the hands of the party’s elite rather than those of the voters.

Donald Trump

Angry Donald. WND.com.

“How is it possible that the people of the great State of Colorado never got to vote in the Republican Primary? Great anger – totally unfair!” howled Trump.

How? Here’s how: the party chose to simplify things by deciding the matter without citizen participation. It’s really very simply. Why? A more difficult question. Maybe the elites thought the voters had made one too many visits to the local pot cafes in Denver. Maybe they wanted to save money. Maybe they just don’t give a damn about the people. Anything is possible – legal too.

Party primaries are private functions – although held in public and partially at the public’s expense. As private groups the political parties get to set their own rules and change them on whims. As such, the deprived voters have no legal recourse as, technically, nothing wrong has happened. There was no state action to speak of.

Official government votes are frequently (always?) tampered with too. The tampering often results in votes being obstructed or nullified. One may recall the excitement of Bush v. Gore (2000). In that case of election irregularities once again the matter was decided by … wait for it … the elites (specifically by the Supreme Court, if memory serves). That was during the national presidential election with the whole governance of the country on the line. Honestly, no one outside of Colorado cares about this particular little scenario unless it also happens to them. It will. It has. Republicans and Democrats in all States can easily adjust their rules so as to sideline the people. But, again, in those cases no one seems to care.

Those impacted in Colorado actually do have recourse for the future. They can vote out the party leadership or they can leave the party. The funny thing is even if the leadership changes hands, the new crop will be as corrupt as the old. As for abandoning the party, most members aren’t going anywhere. They will craft all sorts of interesting excuses to stay – much as a battered spouse will defend his violent partner. Come the general election the sheep…er…people will fall in behind “their” candidate, regardless of how the candidate was selected.

This story highlights a few of my laws (not theories) of politics in general, American specifically. First, voting is meaningless and useless – a complete waste of time. It’s so pointless that a party may decide to dispense with it altogether. Second, this example is further proof that America is not a Republic nor a Democracy. As I have said time and again it is a curious mixture of Oligarchy and Ochlocracy. That means it is at once both controlled by a small elite and by a ranging mob.

The elites do whatever the hell they want but remember to promise some goodies to the mob. Primary or no you can bet someone will promise those Broncos fans more marijuana, some jobs, and another war to keep everyone safe from something. In exchange the mass of the sheep…darn…people will dutifully forget the sleights and betrayals and keep on supporting “their” candidates and leaders. You will not see a million new Libertarian or Green Party voters in November.

That is the way of practical politics – lies, deceit, and blind allegiance. Count on it. Just don’t count on your vote.

Rache the vote.

The Saner Side:2016 Libertarian Presidential Politics

By now even a blind and deaf man knows an election is brewing – the stench is overwhelming. The same old stupidity is on display from the two major parties. Under the watchful eye of the globalist banking masters the arrogant entertain the ignorant. Big statements and big promises for small minds. T’was enough to make a fish stare.

Team Democrat is preparing for the coronation of Her Magesty, Qween Hillary. The esteemed Mrs. Clinton soundly defeated the Old Commie Coot in South Carolina. Bernie should count himself lucky he hasn’t been found dead in a state park.

The Republican clown show rolls on. Donald Trump now looks so dominant the corporate handlers are considering a little science fiction in order to keep things interesting until the convention.

In three paragraphs I’ve just given the Republicrats more recognition than they deserve for their collective efforts over the past four decades. In terms of civil society they just don’t matter. Nothing they are or offer favors the free people or the notions of happiness and freedom.

Alternatives do exist, of course, for those still dedicated to the system. The Libertarian Party represents the biggest and best substitute for the lies and deceptions of big two. Theoretically the LP is the only viable option for Constitutional fidelity. It has but two drawbacks. First, at this late hour, it is pointless. Getting 1 – 2% of the popular vote is a lost cause, however noble. Second, the LP stands for organized government, albeit a smaller version. Government is never a good idea and it never stays small – consider our grand experiment of 1776. Still, if I voted, I would probably vote Libertarian.

The LP hosted a debate last night. I didn’t watch and I can’t find (easily) any transcripts. The best I could (easily) come up with is a record from the Massachusetts debate from last November. For laziness sake I’ll just focus on the first question: the role of the President and the roll of America’s military.

For comparison purposes remember that the Dems and the GOP view the military the same way. For them it is both the best way to forcibly advance the financial interests of their masters and the ultimate tool to silence dissent. Dems see it also as a jobs program, Republicans as a jingoistic rallying cry. All of this is fake. The last Republican candidate with any actual military service, Hon. Ron Paul, was effectively ridiculed out of the party.

The libertarian position is different, seeing the military for what it really is – a violent last resort against invasion, with not much legitimate use beyond.

Front-runner Gary Johnson did not attend the Mass. debate. His stance however mirrors those articulated. Also, winning the LP nomination is akin to winning the Par Three contest before the Masters. It’s fun but doesn’t count for the Tournament.

The military role …

Steve Kerbel answered: “As we all know, we should not be the police of the world. As we all know, many of the problems that we’re facing is because we intervened in other country’s sovereignty and so we need to stop doing that. And so, the way we do that with the military is that you start cutting expenses right off the bat.”

He concluded, “So, you know, it takes a reduction. It takes a focused effort. But it has to be towards liberty and staying out of everyone else’s business. That’s the best way to save money.”

The modern military costs A LOT of money. It takes money (from us) to make money for the Banksters (at our expense). Darryl Perry took Kerbel’s reduction concept further:

“In regards to how big should the military be, there should be no standing army. So ultimately, we would get to a U.S. military of zero people.” I’ll wait a second for my Republican readers to put their heads back on …

The standing army concept was greatly feared by the Founders. They wrote and rallied against it. The appropriation text of Article One of the Constitution was drafted to limit the existence of the military. Outside of wartime this is how the Old Republic operated for 150 years. Somehow, except for those wartimes, things were fine.

Marc Feldman continued: “The goal in my administration is to bring power back to the individuals. Admiral Mullen, retired former member of the joint chiefs said that we need to address the number one national security issue for the United States which is our national debt.”

These are all admirable and sane, if unpopular opinions. That, in a nutshell, is the LP – sane but far outside the mainstream. Such opinion is dangerous to the moneychangers. They stand to lose their lifestyle of easy domination if ever freedom and responsibility return to politics. Those who stand to gain the most, the American people, sadly just aren’t that interested.

My interest here is purely academic. For those involved just remember there are always other, better possibilities.

Absolute Failure

I don’t watch political debates. It’s not that I don’t like being lied to while a hoard of morons cheer like drunken sheep. I don’t like either. I’ve watched these things before, many of them, on television. I’ve been to more than a few in person. Only once – at a live Senatorial debate – did I ever hear something that I agreed with and respected. And that was a simple, one word answer.

My objection stems from economical consideration of my personal resources. I don’t waste my time on hours of pointless stupidity that be surveyed the next day through transcripts and video clips.

First, a quick word about that one word answer. In 2003 or 2004 (I think) I ventured down to a GOP “Christian” Coalition debate between several candidates for Georgia’s then open U.S. Senate seat. The moderator asked the assembled men if they supported President Bush’s plan to offer amnesty to illegal aliens. Johnny Isaacson, the man who eventually won election, gave a rambling political answer that put half the audience to sleep. I can’t remember if he said yea or nay. Next, Mac Collins explained for several minutes his deep rooted connection to Georgia. ‘I worked the Georgia clay with my own hands,’ and so forth. Again, no cogent answer. Then Herman Cain answered with a simple “no.”

Such simplistic honesty is exceedingly rare during debates (in all of politics too). Usually candidates try to one up each other while trying to tell the people what they want to hear.

Sometimes politicians stumble upon or march straight into dangerous and frightening territory. Such was the case at the recent Republican debate in new Hampshire.

In respnse to a question about the Selective (Slavery) Service, Marco Rubio, Jeb Bush, and Chris Christie expressed verbal support for drafting our young women into the military. If silence is consent, the other pitiful candidates concurred with the deranged threesome. Only Ted “carpet bomb” Cruz dissented. His objection stemmed from old-fashioned chivalry which I agree with. However, he’s as big a warmonger as an. He would have no trouble marching our sons off die fight and die for the banks, just not our daughters. I have no use for any of these degenerates.

uncle-sam-kissinger

Women too, it seems. Google.

As Rothbard wrote in 1973, “Conscription is slavery.” His concern was that conscription is a 100% tax on a man’s life. It is. It’s also terrible for other reasons. It allows commanders a degree of recklessness regarding martial strategy. If you get all your men killed more can just be called up to replace them.

“War is a racket,” wrote Smedley Butler. They are generally fought for nefarious reasons having nothing to do with domestic security or tranquility. In a decent and morally sound country there should be no shortage of men volunteering to defend the homeland if actually threatened. The country’s government that resorts to drafting men is up to no good. That country is headed into darkness. A country that drafts women is an absolute failure and does not deserve to exist.

At the GOP insanity show Martha Raddatz of ABC News noted that Army and Marine chiefs had just told Congress women should register with Selective Service as men do. She then asked, “Many of you have young daughters. Senator Rubio, should young women be required to sign up for selective service in case of a national emergency [?]”

Here follow the entire answer of Rubio, Bush and Christie (transcript by cnsnews.com):

Rubio responded: “Well first, let me say there are already women serving today in roles that are like combat, that in fact whose lives are in very serious danger. So I have no problem whatsoever with people of either gender serving in combat, so long as the minimum requirements necessary to do the job are not compromised. But I support that. And, obviously, now that that is the case I do believe that selective service should be opened up for both men and for women in case a draft is ever instituted.”

After this, Rubio made some statements about the need to reverse the weakening of the U.S. military.

Raddatz then put the question about women registering for the selective service to Bush.

Raddatz: “Gov. Bush … Do you believe that young women should sign up for selective service—be required to do so?”

Bush responded: “I do. I do. And I think that we should not impose any kind of political agenda on the military. There should be—if women can meet the requirements, the minimum requirements, for combat service, they ought to have the right to do it, for sure.”

After this, Bush made some statements about the need to strengthen the military.

Then Raddatz asked Bush a follow-up question about his statement that he supports having young women sign up for the selective service. This led to an exchange between her and Bush.

Raddatz asked: “Tell me what you would say to American people out there, who are sitting at home, who have daughters, who might worry about those answers?”

Bush: “Why would they worry about it?”

Raddatz: “–and might worry that the draft is reinstituted?”

Bush: “Well, the draft is not going to be reinstituted. But why—if women are accessing—”

Raddatz: “But you can just do away with it?”

Bush: “No, I didn’t say that. You asked the question not about the draft, you asked about registering. And if women are going to be supporting– ”

Raddatz: “You register for the draft—if it’s reinstituted.”

Bush: “But we don’t have a draft. I’m not suggesting we have a draft. What I’m suggesting is that we ought to have readiness being the first priority of our military, and secondly that we make sure that the moral is high. And right now neither one of those is acceptable because we have been gutting the military budget. We also need to reform our procurement process. We need to make sure that there are more men and women in uniform than civilians in our Defense Department. There’s a lot of things that we need to do to reform, to bring our defense capabilities into the 21st century and I am the guy that can do that. That’s why I have the support of generals of admirals of 12 Medal of Honor recipients and many other people that know I would be a steady commander in chief and rebuild our military.

Raddatz: “Thank you very much.”

Gov. Chris Christie then stepped into the discussion to give his answer to the question.

Christie: “Martha, can I be really clear on this, because I am the father of two daughter—one of them is here tonight. What my wife and I have taught our daughters right from the beginning: that their sense of self-worth, their sense of value, their sense of what they want to do with their life comes not from the outside but comes from within. And if a young woman in this country wants to go and fight to defend her country she should be permitted to do so. And part of that also needs to be a part of a greater effort in this country. So, there is no reason why one young woman should be discriminated against from registering for the selecting service. The fact is we need to be a party and a people that makes sure that our women in this country understand anything they can dream, anything they want to aspire to, they can do. That’s the way we raised our daughters and that’s what we should aspire to as president for all the women in our country.”

Where to start, where to start?

Christie, all 400 pounds of him, wants to save women from discrimination. Isn’t that nice? A young woman’s worth comes from within. The draft comes from without, from Washington, from overweight, hairbrained idiots like Christie. Discrimination from criminal slavery is a good thing, it should apply to all.

Foamio is at least honest that this is about the draft, if ever reinstituted. “Obviously” it should be open to all. All except the well connected, bankers, and politicians, of course.

Bush seemed to take issue with the actual draft. “Well, the draft is not going to be reinstituted.” Really? Then why not abolish the Selective Service altogether? 

“Why would [the American people with daughters] worry about it? This smug stupidity is why I can’t watch debates nor support these candidates and their government. My answer to Bush’s question is simple (and likely beyond his comprehension). I have a daughter. I love her more than anything else in the world. I will not have her coerced into fighting for a corrupt, evil government and its Satanic globalist masters. I am willing to die and to kill to save her from such a fate.

The Bush family has a century long history of war profiteering. It started with Sam Bush and the War Industries Board of WWI (war for corporate profit). Sam and his banker son, Sam, continued the tradition in WWII (war for corporate profit). In WWII, a direct extension of WWI, the Bush men bet on both sides (a practice perfected by the Rothschilds).

President George Bush the 1st, former head of the Machiavellian CIA, wasted no time making war on Iraq (war for corporate profit). President George Bush the 2nd continued that war (for corporate profit) and launched another in Afghanistan (war for corporate profit). 

These wars killed and mained scores of millions of people. They were also the lifeblood of armorment companies, investment bankers and central banks, along with parasitic beaurocrats the world over. I do not wish to see Jeb or anyone else continue this never-ending cycle of death and destruction.

Those in attendance at the debate did not share my sentiments. That rabble of fat, ignorant, sickly looking heathens cheered the notion of enslaving women to government service. 

The Democrats offer nothing better. Their words are usually different, their dastardly deeds the same.

Dragging women into combat for corporations will be the coup de grâce of the old, dying Republic. It will see us from pathetically defeated to utter ruination.

Friends, do not partake of this madness; fight it.
