"Dear Establishment" epic rant.
« on: February 24, 2016, 06:23:10 PM »
to try to consolidate the establishment voters.

I will not vote for Rubio. I'll vote for Sanders first because he's honest about his aims and I'm not going to reward the establishment for trying to stab the base in the back.

A nice seque into a new thread featuring an epic rant.

A "Larry Correia approved" epic rant.

Dear Establishment, I blame you.

Quote
Dear Republican and Democrat establishments,

By this time you’re probably wondering what the hell is happening to that nice little world you’ve created for yourselves. The Hairy Hemorrhoidâ„¢ and the Septuagenarian Socialist are putting a spike the size of a cricket bat into the tires of your 2016 campaign buses, and you are spinning ferociously in your seats like ferrets on speed, trying to catch up.

What the hell happened?

Well you need to look no further than your mirrors, and not the funhouse ones that give you that warped view of yourselves, either. Take a long, hard look at what’s going on, because you are the ones who created the deranged monstrosity we’re seeing in the primaries of both parties today!.....


Click through, read and enjoy.
In thy presence is fulness of joy.
At thy right hand pleasures for evermore.

It is a sad statement that I'd vote for Sanders before I'd see Trump in office. Sanders would damage our economy and pack the courts with socialists...  And still cause less damage than Trump.

You gotta be joking.  Electing Bernie is the international equivalent of taping a "Kick Nuke Me" sign to America's back.  Electing Trump is akin to wearing that knit cap Jayne's mom sent him:
Nation elects a man like that, other countries know they're not afraid of anything.

'Course the country takes the risk of Jayne Trump selling us out to the feds...

Aside from claiming he doesn't like illegal immigration, what exactly is ANY actual redeeming quality of the man?

Dude bemoans corporations moving US jobs overseas, and then does the same thing. His clothing line is made overseas. His resorts apparently use the hell out of temporary work-visa programs to bring in foreign workers. He claims government using its power of eminent domain to violate the property rights of it citizens, then when he tried using the same thing for personal profit. He supported the AWB. He wants a single payer healthcare system like Canada, which puts him left of Hillary Clinton. Who he regularly donated money to. Hilarious part is he's cut checks to the Dems for at least 20x the amount he's given to Republicans.

Hatefacts!

Trump is play acting like a Pro Wrestler. I'm not sure how much of any of what he says is true.

Hell, Bob Dole prefers him over Cruz! What does Bob know we don't? (or don't want to see, willingly ignorant).
For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

You forgot that he supports using lawsuits and the threat of lawsuits to get his way whether he would win the lawsuit or not.  He has even threatened to sue other candidates during this campaign.

Trump's business savvy sensed a market.  A market of fed up, lied to, disenfranchised conservative voters.  He threw together some weakly constructed talking points which have taken wing with his target group.  Unfortunately that target group is revealing their lack of critical thinking skills and knowledge of historical examples of charasmatic leaders taking advantage of an exasperated populus.

The best thing I ever learned in high school government class was "The job of President of the United States pays poorly and severly ages each person who holds its title. Thousands of people all over the world want to kill him.  He and his family perpetually live under armed guard.  The only reason a man would consider the position is for the power."

Now, examine Trump's history, the New York facts, not the Hollywood hype. 
Finally ask yourself what Trump really wants,to do with that power, and how he might apply it.

He's a dangerous choice.

It's quite simple. Trump supporters are so desperate to "SHOW THE ESTABLISHMENT!!!!" and make a "STATEMENT!!!!!" that they're blind to the fact that they're supporting an unstable, statist *expletive deleted*ing weirdo.

I've spoken with the crew at Merriam-Websters and the blokes from Oxford, and they've agreed, per roo_ster's whim, to change the definition of "whine." It now reads something like, "to present an opposing viewpoint."

You're welcome.

I'm not whining. Trump's supporters have almost nothing of substance to offer in his favor, besides him being "anti-establishment" (which is effing hilarious, btw. How delusional do you have to be to call Trump anti-establishment), and "HE SAYS WHAT HE MEANS" (How that alone is a plus, is beyond me.)

Of course, calling someone who disagrees with you a whiner is completely consistent with the Trump mindset, so there's that

The party of limited government is electing a complete statist, who supports the abuse of eminent domain, supports national healthcare, supports private businesses being forced to break their own products, gives zero *expletive deleted*s about the constitution, and seems to have no redeeming qualities besides being a loudmouth and being able to avoid a question by telling someone they have a beautiful hat.

On the plus side, him winning the nomination will hasten the destruction of the GOP, so that's fine.


Here's what will happen. Trump WILL self destruct. Hopefully before he gets the nomination, but most likely after.

Hill-dawg will win.


THAT's when the whining begins. Then it will be "omg all those Libertarian voters" or "OMG you didn't vote, you handed Hillary the victory"

Seems to be quite common lately. GOP puts a turd in front of us, and then when some of us decide not to drink the turd-aid, later we're blamed. Happens quite frequently, not only at the national level, but state/local as well.

Maybe Trump wins, has Cruz or Rubio as the VP and then decides to resign.
There are five things, above all else, that make life worth living: a good relationship with God, a good woman, good health, good friends, and a good cigar.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.  One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

That's the hilarious part.

"He's Anti-Establishment and will blow up the GOP."


 :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

He is the establishment.  He will curl up with the beltway insiders and the GOPe and we'll have Obama's third term.  As has been pointed out, his previous statements and actions prove that he is not a conservative (neither a so-con or fis-con) and is not hesitant to use the power of government to get his way.

He is a New York liberal who is pro-abortion, anti-2A, and pro-big government.   If he's a conservative, I'm the queen of England...
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.
