It’s time that we start holding our candidates up to the proper standard…the Constitution. Today we take The Trump platform and review it with the Constitution in mind. Tomorrow it’s Hillary’s turn.
Alternatively you can listen to “Is Trump’s Platform Constitutional” by KrisAnne Hall on YouTube
So glad that yall are going to vet the 3rd party candidates. Please do not forget Tom Hoefling of Americas Party. He may be a breath of fresh air for many.
From my research, I’ve concluded thus: what the Donald giveth, the Donald quickly taketh away. The man is a walking contradiction when it comes to being a republican, or a conservative, or a constitutionalist…
Edward S. Herman wrote in Beyond Hypocrisy, “What is really important in the world of doublespeak is the ability to lie, whether knowingly or unconsciously, and to get away with it; and the ability to use lies and choose and shape facts selectively, blocking out those that don’t fit an agenda or program.”
One thing Donald Trump has been consistent on is his nationalistic socialist progressive agenda, which doesn’t actually differ much from Hillary’s. When Donald was considering running for President in 2000 under the Reform Party, he was asked what four things he would want to accomplish as President.
“Third, I would press for universal health care. It’s ridiculous that the richest country on Earth can’t provide first-rate healthcare for our people. I would put forward a comprehensive health care program and fund it with an increase in corporate taxes. I’d strictly regulate the pharmaceutical firms to end these 500% profits on the drugs that are cheap to produce. I like the Canadian system, although their healthcare is not the best. If you combine their system with the quality of our health care, we could provide cradle-to-grave health care for everyone.” ~Donald Trump, The Advocate, page 26 (Feb 15, 2000)
Let’s fast-forward to a March 29th 2016 interview on CNN’s Townhall
Anderson Cooper tried to clarify. “So in terms of federal government role, you’re saying security, but you also say health care and education should be provided by the federal government?”
Trump replied, “yeah, those are two of the things. Yeah, sure. there are obviously many things, housing, providing great neighborhoods—”
A leopard cannot change his spots, he may hide or disguise them, but he cannot change them. It cannot be denied we have two flagrant despots to choose from if we hold to the false dilemma of the two-party system. Do we continue committing national suicide, or do we make a stand on the Constitution and our Founding Principles declared by the Declaration?
The clock is ticking. We either preserve our virtue now or accept the tyranny that is assuredly coming from an ever growing severe lack of it.
“The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders and miseries which result gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual, and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction, more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation on the ruins of public liberty.” ~George Washington’s Farewell Address (1796)
Thank you KrisAnne! I hope you get a chance to also vet Darrell Castle of the Constitution Party.
Will you be doing the Constitution Party Candidate as well?
I am sure Trump is the lesser of the other very evil creeps.
However runaway inflation will be the result if Trump does win.
