The 2016 Election Race in Perspective
It is urgent that we bring into perspective the political landscape in America as it stands right now. The democrat party has three factions: Communist, Socialist, and Fascist with each faction competing for power and control over the party. There is less in-fighting there for these three factions all fall under the Totalitarian/Big-Government umbrella. Despite the denials Bernie Sanders is a card-carrying communist and Hillary Clinton is a blend of Socialism and Fascism. That accounts for the droves of traditional democrats leaving the party and voting for Donald Trump, the easier transition for he is closest to their big-government values. The problems you see with the GOP are far more dramatic in that there are not merely factions competing for power and control but the GOP has two separate umbrellas that by their nature cannot unify.
The GOP establishment elite (GOPe) embrace the Totalitarian/Big-Government umbrella and identify more with democrats than they do their own base of the party which falls under the Liberty, Constitutional/Limited Government umbrella which have Libertarians and Conservatives competing for power and control. I define Libertarians as amoral and immoral conservatives for they differ from each other primarily on social issues like abortion for example. Both generally seek a return to limited constitutional government and both represent the base of the Republican Party with the Conservative have the lion’s share of the base.
The totalitarian, big –government folks identify more with democrats and the GOPe but differ only in how big-government is to be managed. Both have zero tolerance with limited powers and small-government as articulated in the Constitution. That is the reason we see the GOP opposed to Ted Cruz. They don’t like Trump mainly because he is not one of them even though he is ideologically close to them and because he cannot be controlled. They fear Cruz because he is highly intelligent, skilled and will not compromise his core values. Very few people are able to articulate the distinctions and the competing factions in American politics and why the many citizens have a high degree distrust of the government. Most Americans historically do not identify with totalitarianism and why the establishments of both parties are committed to immigrating those with a totalitarian mindset.
THERE CANNOT AND MUST NOT BE ANY COMPROMISE BETWEEN LIBERTY AND TOTALITARIANISM!!!
The call to unify the party for the sake of unity always means the totalitarians gaining more ground and thereby more power and control. Such an event will oust liberty and the remnant of Constitutional rule completely over the edge and render America as we knew it DOA. Let’s bring the GOP candidates into perspective.
Donald Trump identifies more with the big-government folks for that is who he is and has always been as a DC insider for the last 40 or so years. Kasich is a GOPe socialist and they are both at odds with Conservative Cruz. Trump has NEVER been a conservative, but does have some libertarian tendencies but is most definitely a big government totalitarian. Both Kasich and Trump are opposed to limiting the powers of the federal government and by default against the Constitution that specifically limits government power. Trump is considered a populist in that he has garnered support from the ill-informed citizens unaware of the political party nuances and angry and frustrated with all government.
However, rather than take the time to become informed, most have rather opted to “throw them all out” which amounts to throwing out the baby with the bath-water. It’s how the ignorant and uninformed make decisions. Trump and Kasich do not fit into the Liberty/Constitutional faction … only Cruz does. All the maneuvering by the GOPe is to eliminate Cruz for they see him as non-comprising on his core values and smart enough to relinquish big-government power and control. Cruz has not and will not compromise on his fundamental beliefs. Trump on the other hand is quick to deal with the opposition which will further encroach upon Liberty, expand totalitarian rule and why the GOPe will tolerate a Trump but not a Cruz victory. All the endorsements by establishment people is more of a political maneuver to see that neither Trump nor Cruz win so they can instill their own candidate to get the nomination … Paul Ryan.
We are without doubt heading to a contested or perhaps a brokered convention that will destroy the GOP but this must be seen as collateral damage because if the establishment does this the American people will violently revolt and commence another Revolutionary/Civil War. The establishment has been preparing for this since the inauguration of Obama who planted the roots of totalitarianism deeper into the soil and fabric of the American culture than has ever been done since the founding of this once great nation. The totalitarian establishment will prefer war over any relinquishment of power. Will this be the demise of America as we knew it? Only God knows for certain. Therefore let us understand who our candidate choice is and why. Ignorance gave us two terms of Obama and totalitarianism … let it not give us a third.
