Did you know this? We are indeed a Christian nation ...

Who is Donald Trump? Great article! I wholeheartedly agree!

ALL I CAN SAY IS A 'LOUD AMEN.'

 

 

 

WHEN AN ULTRA, ULTRA LIBERAL MAGAZINE SUCH AS THE NEW YORKER... WRITES AN ARTICLE SUCH AS THIS... YOU REALIZE AMERICA IS FINALLY WAKING UP TO THE CORRUPTION, INCOMPETENCE AND IGNORANCE OF Washington… 

 

This is absolutely brilliant.  A surprising article from the New Yorker Magazine.  This magazine has always been a left wing apologizer so this article is even more amazing.  Don't pass it up. 

 

The author is the political correspondent for Bloomberg and wrote extensively about Obama even before he was nominated. 

 

Who is Donald Trump?

"Who is Donald Trump?"   The better question may be, "What is Donald Trump?" 

 

The answer?   A giant middle finger from average Americans to the political and media establishment. 

 

Some Trump supporters are like the 60s white girls who dated black guys just to annoy their parents.   But most Trump supporters have simply had it with the Demo-socialists and the "Republicans in Name Only."   They know there isn’t a dime's worth of difference between Hillary Rodham and Jeb Bush, and only a few cents worth between Rodham and the other GOP candidates. 

 

Ben Carson was not an "establishment" candidate, but the Clinton machine would pulverize Carson; and the somewhat rebellious Ted Cruz (justifiably so) would have been tied up with natural born citizen lawsuits (as might Marco Rubio).   The Trump supporters figure they may as well have some fun tossing Molotov cocktails at Wall Street and Georgetown while they watch the nation collapse.   Besides - lightning might strike, Trump might get elected, and he might actually fix a few things.   Stranger things have happened (the nation elected an islamo-Marxist in 2008 and Bruce Jenner now wears designer dresses.) 

 

Millions of conservatives are justifiably furious.   They gave the Republicans control of the House in 2010 and control of the Senate in 2014, and have seen them govern no differently than Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid.   Yet those same voters are supposed to trust the GOP in 2016?   Why? 

 

Trump did not come from out of nowhere.   His candidacy was created by the last six years of Republican failures. 

 

No reasonable person can believe that any of the establishment candidates [dems or reps] would have slashed federal spending, rein in the Federal Reserve, cut burdensome business regulations, reform the tax code, or eliminate useless federal departments (the Departments of Education, Housing and Urban Development, Energy, etc.).   Even Ronald Reagan was unable to eliminate the Department of Education.   (Of course, getting shot at tends to make a person less of a risk-taker.)  No reasonable person can believe that any of the nation's major problems will be solved by Rodham as she is simply the third verse of Obama's waning swan song.

 

Many Americans, and especially Trump supporters, have had it with:

·       Anyone named Bush

·       Anyone named Clinton

·       Anyone who's held political office

·       Political correctness

·       Illegal immigration

·       Massive unemployment

·       Our out of control federal spending

·       Our National Debt that exceeds our GDP (Can you say Greece?)

·       Phony "official" unemployment and inflation figures

·       Welfare waste and fraud

·       Money being spent on Illegal immigrants

·       People faking disabilities to go on the dole

·       VA waiting lists

·       TSA airport groping

·       ObamaCare

·       The Federal Reserve's money-printing schemes

·       Wall Street crooks

·       Michelle Obama's vacations

·       Michelle Obama's food police

·       Barack Obama's golf

·       Barack Obama's arrogant and condescending lectures

·       Barack Obama's criticism/hatred of America

·       Valerie Jarrett

·       Winter Holiday

·       Holiday trees

·       Hollywood hypocrites

·       Cop killers while Black Lives Matter

·       Gun confiscation threats

·       Stagnant wages

·       Boys in girls' bathrooms

·       Whiny, spoiled college students who can't even place the Civil War in the correct century... and that's just the short list. 

 

Trump supporters believe that no Democrat wants to address these issues, and that few Republicans have the courage to address these issues.   They know that Trump is their way of saying, "Screw you, Hillary Rodham and all the Do Nothing Republicans!" The more the talking head political pundits insult the Trump supporters, the more supporters he gains.   (The only pundits who seem to understand what is going on are Democrats Doug Schoen and Pat Caddell and Republican John LeBoutillier.

 

But America does not need a tune-up at the same old garage.   It needs a new engine installed by experts - and Hillary Rodham is not a mechanic; she merely manages a garage her philandering husband abandoned.   Trump is also not a mechanic, but he knows where to find the best ones to work in his garage.  He won't hire his brother-in-law or someone to whom he owes a favor; he will hire someone who lives and breathes cars. 

 

"How dare they revolt!" the "elites" are bellowing.   Well, the citizens are daring to revolt, and the RINOs had better get used to it. "But Trump will hand the election to Clinton!"   That is what the Karl Rove-types want people to believe, just as the leftist media eagerly shoved "Maverick" McCain down GOP throats in 2008 - knowing he would lose to Obama.   But even if Trump loses and Rodham wins, she would be nothing more than a caretaker, not working to restore America's greatness but merely presiding over the collapse of a massively in-debt nation.       A nation can perhaps survive open borders; a nation can perhaps survive a generous welfare system.    But no nation can survive both - and there is little evidence that Hillary Rodham understands that.  The United States cannot forever continue on the path it is on.  At some point it will be destroyed by its debt. 

 

Yes, Trump speaks like a bull wandering through a china shop, but the truth is that the borders do need to be sealed; we cannot afford to feed, house, and clothe 200,000 Syrian immigrants for decades (even if we get inordinately lucky and none of them are ISIS infiltrators or Syed Farook wannabes); the world is at war with radical Islamist; and we cannot continue trying to spend our way out of debt. 

 

Is Trump the perfect candidate?  Of course not.   Neither was Ronald Reagan... But unless we close our borders and restrict immigration, all the other issues are irrelevant.   One terrorist blowing up a bridge or a tunnel could kill thousands.   One jihadist poisoning a city's water supply could kill tens of thousands.  One electromagnetic pulse attack from a single Iranian nuclear device could kill tens of millions.   Faced with those possibilities, most Americans probably don't care that Trump relied on eminent domain to grab up a final quarter acre of property for a hotel, or that he boils the blood of the Muslim Brotherhood thugs running the Council on American-Islamic Relations.   While Attorney General Loretta Lynch's greatest fear is someone giving a Muslim a dirty look, most Americans are more worried about being gunned down at a shopping mall by a crazed [Islamic] lunatic who treats his prayer mat better than his three wives and who is fool enough to think that 72 virgins are waiting for him in paradise. 

 

The establishment is frightened to death that Trump will win, but not because they believe he will harm the nation.   They are afraid he will upset their taxpayer-subsidized apple carts.  While Obama threatens to veto legislation that spends too little, they worry that Trump will veto legislation that spends too much. 

 

You can be certain that if Hillary wins in November 2016. [her] cabinet positions will be filled with the same people we've seen before.  The washed-up has-beens of the Clinton and Obama administrations will be back in charge.   The hacks from Goldman Sachs will continue to call the shots.   And, America will continue her decline just as other great democracies in history have.

 

If the establishment wins, America loses and may never recover.

I must send this on for all who remain unable to see the forest for the trees , who will vote on a nearsighted wedge issue like language indiscretion , and lies about groping and not see the grand plan of the ultra liberals of Soros , Obama, and Hillary .

Saul Alinsky plan

 

Right now the Republican Party is so completely at war internally that it may not recover in time to knock out Hillary.   That would complete Alinsky's program.   A real disaster for our country.

 

In case you aren't convinced of the importance of the upcoming election for President, the following should convince you.

 

 

Almost Completed.

 

Based on Saul Alinsky’s

8-steps from democracy to a socialist society.

 

Obama quoted him often in his book and

Hillary did her thesis on Saul Alinsky.

Of the 8-levels of control that must be obtained before you are able to create a socialist/communist

State, the first is the most important; 5 OF 8 ARE DONE, AND THE LAST 3 ARE ALMOST THERE!

 

 

1. Healthcare: "Control

Healthcare and you control the People"

DONE!

 

2. Poverty: Increase the Poverty level as high as possible." Poor People are easier to control and will not fight

back if the government is providing everything for them to live.

DONE!

 

3. Debt: Increase the National Debt to an

unsustainable level." That way you are able to increase Taxes, and this will produce more Poverty.

DONE!

 

4. Gun Control: Remove the ability to defend themselves from the Government. That way you are able to create a

Police State - total local control.

 

ALMOST THERE, AND WORKING HARD ON IT!

 

5. Welfare: Take control of every aspect of their lives (Food,

Livestock, Housing, and Income).

ALMOST THERE but just as good as DONE!

 

6. Education: Take control of what People read & listen to; take control of what Children learn in School.

ALMOST THERE but just as good as DONE!

 

7. Religion: Remove faith in

God from the Government and Schools. ALMOST THERE!

 

8. Class Warfare: Divide the People into the Poor against the Wealthy. Racially divide. This will cause more discontent

and it will be easier to Tax the Wealthy with full support of the voting Poor.

DONE!

 

For the most part the bases are all covered! We are ripe. 

If there is nobody to stop this now, the USA will be more socialist than Russia.

 

Forward this - or delete it and

just sit there and wring your hands. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wow! Thoughtful observations and powerful statements... Much more than just about Catholics

Chaput: To Contribute to American Life, Catholics Must First Step Back from Its Culture 

BY MAGGIE GALLAGHER

The Philadelphia archbishop reproaches ‘bourgeois, mediocre, feel-good religion.’ The Al Smith Dinner usually specializes in self-deprecating humor by the candidates, but while some of that was on display last night, both Hillary and Trump used the occasion also to try to land a few body blows. Trump’s efforts got widely reported because the audience booed. But Hillary basically accused Trump of treason: “Now, you notice there is no teleprompter tonight, which is probably smart, because maybe you saw Donald dismantle his prompter the other day,” she said. “And I get that. They’re hard to keep up with. And I’m sure it’s harder when you’re translating from the original Russian.” Cardinal Timothy Dolan next morning decided to focus on the positive, describing some “very touching moments” in private: “Mr. Trump turned to Secretary Clinton and said, ‘You are one tough and talented woman. This has been a good experience, this whole campaign, as tough as it’s been.’” Clinton then turned to her opponent and said, “‘Donald, whatever happens, we need to work together afterward,’” according to Cardinal Dolan. 

But the most trenchant political observations on the relationship between Catholic culture and American culture came a few days before, when Archbishop Charles J. Chaput of Philadelphia addressed a Bishops Symposium at Notre Dame. The speech was published at Catholicphilly.com. Read the whole thing. Politics is only one lens, and perhaps not the most important one, through which to view and ponder this open wound in American life. Catholicism was for decades denounced and repressed as alien to America’s Protestant core. But Evangelicals and Catholics have found common ground against an increasingly hostile secular culture. The challenge today for Catholics and other minority religions is to summon the courage to speak truth to power. “We need to speak plainly and honestly,” as Archbishop Chaput points out. “Modern bureaucratic life, even in the Church, is the enemy of candor and truth. We live in an age that thrives on the subversion of language.” Politically speaking, Chaput connects this subversion of language to the rise of Trump. Both candidates, he says forthrightly (speaking truth to power), are a “national embarrassment, though for different reasons.” But he asks a very important question, not only for Catholics but for all of us trying to figure out how Trump got to be one of the two nominees, and what lesson (if he loses) the Republican party should learn from this tumultuous experience. Why has Hillary Clinton had such a hard time pulling definitively ahead of Trump? The RealClearPolitics average today has Clinton up by 6 points. But today’s Rasmussen poll shows the American people disgusted almost equally with both, with Trump up 43 percent to 41 percent in a three-way race. “Given Mr. Trump’s ugly style and the hostility he sparks in the media, Mrs. Clinton’s lead should be even wider than it is,” Chaput astutely notes. The disgust with the existing political order is strong enough to counterbalance (almost) the personal disgust with Donald Trump. “Even many people who despise what Mr. Trump stands for seem to enjoy his gift for twisting the knife in America’s leadership elite and their spirit of entitlement, embodied in the person of Hillary Clinton.” Archbishop Chaput goes on to make one of the most succinct, blunt, and insightful assessments of how the subversion of language generally plays into the voter rebellion we are seeing play out in real time on the national stage: Americans aren’t fools. They have a good sense of smell when things aren’t right. And one of the things wrong with our country right now is the hollowing out and retooling of all the key words in our country’s public lexicon; words like democracy, representative government, freedom, justice, due process, religious liberty and constitutional protections. The language of our politics is the same. The content of the words is different. Voting still matters. Public protest and letters to members of Congress can still have an effect. But more and more of our nation’s life is governed by executive order, judicial overreach and administrative agencies with little accountability to Congress. People feel angry because they feel powerless. And they feel powerless because in many ways they are. . . . America’s cultural and political elites talk a lot about equality, opportunity and justice. But they behave like a privileged class with an authority based on their connections and skills. And supported by sympathetic media, they’re remaking the country into something very different from anything most of us remember or the Founders imagined. The aftermath of this election, whomever wins, cannot be a return to business as usual for the Republican party. The rejection of Paul Ryan’s GOP establishment is deep and profound among the Republican electorate. Bloomberg Politics conducted a poll October 14–17 of Republican and lean-Republican voters, asking them who better represents their views: Paul Ryan or Donald Trump? Fifty-one percent chose Trump, 33 percent chose Ryan, and 15 percent were uncertain. That hollowing out of democracy by culturally appropriating our hallowed words and redefining them is part of Chaput’s chief concern, which is the hollowing out of American Catholicism as a distinctive culture that can contribute to our diverse nation. The Catholic imagination in America is being culturally appropriated and transformed by secular liberalism’s contempt for the sacred and the supernatural. Chaput remarks that “many of us Catholics are largely assimilated to, and digested by, a culture that bleaches out strong religious convictions in the name of liberal tolerance and dulls our longings for the supernatural with a river of practical atheism in the form of consumer goods.” Science and technology have become not just useful, creative tools to improve human flourishing. They’ve become godlings, and religion is demoted: “Religion can still have value in this new dispensation by helping credulous people do socially useful things. But religion isn’t ‘real’ in the same way that science and technology are real.” And then, because Chaput is fearless and candid, he names names: “We might reflect on what assimilating has actually gained for us when Vice President Biden — this year’s co-winner of the Laetare Medal — conducts a gay marriage, and Senator Kaine lectures us all on how the Church needs to change and what kind of new creature she needs to become.” Democracy has what Chaput calls “monist” impulses. It’s central conceit, that “we’re born as autonomous, self-creating individuals who need to be protected from, and made equal with, each other,” is “simply not true.” We are equally beloved by God who made us, but in a thousand other ways we are not equal. Because equality is not true, in the secular sense, the anxiety created by our knowledge of our own inequalities “leads to the peculiar progressive impulse to master and realign reality to conform to human desire, whereas the Christian masters and realigns his desires to conform to and improve reality.” He continues: To put it another way, quite a few of us American Catholics have worked our way into a leadership class that the rest of the country both envies and resents. And the price of our entry has been the transfer of our real loyalties and convictions from the old Church of our baptism to the new “Church” of our ambitions and appetites. People like Nancy Pelosi, Anthony Kennedy, Joe Biden and Tim Kaine are not anomalies. They’re part of a very large crowd that cuts across all professions and both major political parties. In the largest sense, they include people like me. Few of us, Chaput reminds his fellow bishops, live every day as if we really believe the most important things: “that eternity is real, that together we have a mission the world depends on, and that our lives have consequences that transcend time. Francis radiated all these things during his time in Philadelphia.” “If men and women are really made for heroism and glory, made to stand in the presence of the living God, they can never be satisfied with bourgeois, mediocre, feel-good religion,” Chaput adds. More Catholicism The Progressives’ Plot to Change Catholicism The Cruel Way of Catholics for Choice Catholics for Clinton: What Are They Thinking? For Pope Francis Catholics, Mary is the ultimate model, as Chaput understands her. She is the mother of mercy, ever open and obedient to God, our consolation in sorrow and suffering, but she is also something else: “A friend emailed me a copy of a manuscript illustration from the 13th century,” Chaput writes. “It’s a picture of Mary punching the devil in the nose. She doesn’t rebuke him. She doesn’t enter into a dialogue with him. She punches the devil in the nose.” To thrive, and even possibly to survive, American Catholicism is going to have to re-imagine itself as something different and separate from mainstream American culture. Then, perhaps, we can speak truth to power — not suck up to power, not whine about power, not submit to power — but contribute to a pluralistic America the gift of our diversity. — Maggie Gallagher is the author of four books on marriage and a longtime contributor to National Review.
