The Road To Serfdom is among the top must reads for anyone.

As Dr. Thomas Sowell accurately notes in a review of F. A. Hayek's masterpiece, "The rule of law, on which freedom itself ultimately depends, is inherently incompatible with socialism. People who are free to do as they wish will not do as the economic planners wish. Differences in values and priories are enough to ensure that. These differences must be ironed out by propaganda or power, if socialism is to be socialism. Indoctrination must be part of the program, not because socialist want to be brainwashers, but because socialism requires brainwashing."

Without the rule of law, you no longer have a nation of virtue wtih freedom and liberty for all.

Unfortunately, the assessment Dr. Sowell arrived upon in review of Hayek's brilliance, is actually happening.

Rather than "cheering for your team" no matter the policy put forth, it seems our citizenry should acquaint themselves with the ability to engage in critical thinking. Presently, powerful ruling class elite and progressive politicians, with the cooperation of their partners in the mainstream media, are pushing their agenda, littered with propaganda and fake news, on the citizenry.

It is, as progressive Stuart Chase wrote in 1942, "The Road We Are Traveling."

The "real" stories, which discredit the propaganda pushed by the central planners, is labeled Fake News.

Fake News is a new weapon designed by the central planners to confuse the citizenry, who has made recent strides on deciphering truth from deception.

But until America firmly wakes up and wins this battle, and make no mistake it is just that, that road is "The Road To Serfdom."

Time to Exit!

Evil Snakes

Long considered a top conservative thinker, incorrectly to be sure, Bill Kristol has been exposed as a big government globalist, and an opponent to the freedom seeking limited government citizenry.

Kristol, formerly with The National Review, was most recently exposed in joining other supposed conservative leaders in their opposition to Donald Trump. Make no mistake, Trump is not a conservative, but their opposition to him essentially was an assist the potential election of Hillary Clinton, who if elected, would have destroyed this country as founded forever.

We cannot say that others who participated in that Trump bashing effort, but given a tweet from Kristol this Valentines Day, it is very clear that Kristol should indeed be considered our opponent.

So it can be concluded that Bill Kristol would prefer the country to continue being run by the "deep state" rather than a representative of the people, which Donald Trump who ran thinking of the "forgotten man" and spoke at his inaugural of giving the power back to the people.

There you have it! Kristol says keep the power in the control of the global elite rather than having it reside with the people. #Trouble.

But famed Twitter pundit Mike Cernovich has a more disturbing thought:

Cernovich worries Trump's life may be in danger, and it pains me to say I find that concern reasonable.

Folks, we are in for the fight of our lives.

Donald Trump is fighting the Democrats, the progressive left, the progressives in GOP, neocons of both parties, globalists, the establishment, the mainstream media and former president Obama's army of chaotic community agitators masquerading as organizers.

And this is only in our nation!

Then there are all the swarming foreign opponents.

Given what I have been witnessing, I am not sure which is more formidable.

But what I do know is those of us who supported Donald Trump had better have our feet firmly placed, for we will sooner than later be tasked with standing in the fire with him.

Donald Trump For President

The 2016 campaign has been very heated, reflecting the pulse (pun intended) of our nation.

The GOP is very divided, deservedly so.  Elected GOP representative think they are part of a production of Animal Farm, turning into the legislators we sent them up there to defeat.

A strong field of GOP contenders set out to gain the nomination.  Marco Rubio, Rand Paul and Scott Walker could have easily won my vote.  I chose Sen. Ted Cruz, who had a vibrant history of fighting the establishment

However, Donald Trump won the race.

Unlike many, I did not take the #NeverTrump route, which I considered juvenile.

Donald Trump, who no doubt loves America, does not meet many of the principles and positions I as a proud member of the Reagan Revolution champion.

However, as we enter a version of The Fourth Turning, a historical and cyclical period of turmoil which places the continuance of our nation at risk, our nation will require exemplary leadership during this period. As Jim Quinn of The Burning Platform notes in researching The Fourth Turning, "The Grey Champion doesn’t necessarily have to be a good person, but they must lead and display tremendous confidence in their cause and path. Franklin, Lincoln, and FDR have many detractors, but during their Fourth Turnings, they most certainly led, casting aside obstacles (sometimes illegally) and enduring dark days and bleak prospects for success."

In my mind, Donald Trump fits perfectly the characteristics of a Grey Champion.

His opponent?

Hillary Clinton is an arrogant hypocrite, an intellectual progressive operative with disdain for the blue collar working families she professes to support, an individual who dreams of squelching free markets through taxation and regulation championing crony capitalism in support of self promotion and her political advocates all the while welcoming opportunities to abuse power. In no way, shape or form is this an individual we should even remotely consider for our highest office. She is a champion of distortion and failure.

The nation, due in large measure to the progressive policies engaged upon during the Obama administration, is in great peril. Things will worsen, at least in the short term, no matter who wins.

Should Hillary Clinton win, our nation ceases to exist as founded, and freedom and liberty retract measurably as the world enters deeper levels of violence, darkness and despair.  Yes, that bad.

Donald Trump offers hope, championing individualism and patriotism. We may not wish the Grey Champion to come, but come he must, and come he will.

He is here, his name is Donald J. Trump, and America desperately needs him to become the 45th President of The United States of America.

Evil Is On The Ballot

Single Payer Always The Plan

You have seen stories on Obamacare premiums going up 25%?

Nobody who read Obamacare before it passed thought the numbers would work. That was always the plan, designed to fail with the public clamoring for the government to fix it, and fix it they will, replacing it with a single payer plan.

You were lied to, and slapped in the face via your wallet.

Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D:IL), whose husband Robert Creamer recently made headlines turning up in the videos outlining voter fraud put forth by James O'Keefe and his group Project Veritas, proclaimed the ruse to take the country to a single payer plan years ago. Take a listen:

 

Accurately noted by Rush Limbaugh, the democrats "can tie every life decision you make to health care that they are paying for, then they can deny you certain things. They can tell you can't eat that, drink that, can't go there, can't travel there, can't have too many kids, can't do this. They have total control over who you are and how you live based on how much your health care is gonna cost them. There will be death panels. There will be rationing. There will be decisions made on who gets treatment and who doesn't, and it's gonna be based on age. It's gonna be how some bureaucrat values your life versus somebody else's, who's worth more in terms of getting treatment so they live longer, who does the country miss less if they die sooner."

If elected, Hillary will eliminate choice from your health care coverage while further eroding your freedom.

Ryan Sabotage?

Speaker Ryan is sickened by comments by Donald Trump over a decade ago.

Well, I am sickened by the damage that has been done to our nation by the progressive elites in both parties.

Ryan and Clinton share and advocate for open borders, which could be the most destructive action in the attempt to weaken America sovereignty among a global governance.

Also of note is the absence of commentary from Ryan regarding all the horrendous treatment of women by the Clinton's over the years.  Sabotage

Clinton and Ryan are part of the political establishment seizing freedom and liberty from the citizens of this nation.



Did Paul Ryan Know about Hillary’s Trump Hit Piece Video Before It Was Released?

Opinion Now Evidence

Hillary Rodham Clinton wants to be your champion.

I want individuals across the fruited plain to all be champions, forging their own path unencumbered by a controlling government.

She is an arrogant hypocrite, an intellectual progressive operative with disdain for the blue collar working families she professes to support, an individual who dreams of squelching free markets through taxation and regulation championing crony capitalism in support of self promotion and her political advocates all the while welcoming opportunities to abuse power.

Opinion now evidence.

WIKILEAKS BOMBSHELL: Hillary Advisors Admit She “HATES EVERYDAY AMERICANS”

A Horrible Candidate

"Why aren't I 50 points ahead, you might ask" pontificated the arrogant Hillary Clinton, no doubt stunned by recent polling numbers.

 

Could it be America sees you accurately as a liar, an architect of organizing through bullying the political landscape and a progressive aiming to implement a socialist structure while undermining American power and exceptionalism?

Further, might they astutely envision you as an intellectual progressive operative with disdain for the blue collar working families you profess to support, an individual who dreams of squelching free markets through taxation and regulation championing crony capitalism in support of self promotion while welcoming opportunities for you and your political advocates to abuse power?

And those working families you reference? 94 million people are underemployed while nominal income has been stagnant during Obama's two terms.

Additionally, it should be noted those living in right to work states have economically outperformed those in structured environments you favor, demonstrating your economic idiocy.

I could go on, and on, and on, and on, and......................

An Evil Left Turn

Central Florida's own Lloyd Marcus accurately notes the immoral and fraudulent position the American Left has taken. The American Left is evil, and they are destroying the foundation and principles of our nation as founded.

"Summarizing the Left’s media blitz, they said if you do not affirm the LGBT community and the implementation of their agenda, you are equal to the Orlando shooter; a rabid hater, responsible for those killed in the nightclub. I wonder how many Americans are falling for it."

Too many.

Sadly, the Orlando terrorist attack is a clear and glaring example of the leftist agenda, as nobody seems interested in holding those responsible accountable (radical Islam), only in the promotion of the LGBTQ community.

The American Left Is Evil: Orlando Shooting by Lloyd Marcus

Crisis Management

In the aftermath of the horrific terrorist attack in the SODO district of downtown Orlando, like clockwork, the left has unleashed an well coordinated and financed attack, not on those responsible for the attack, but on law abiding citizens of this nation.

Imagine the arrogance of this crowd, who immediately take their progressive ideology of government knows best to making tracks to steal your rights outlined for you in our Constitution away from you?

It is not just them.

Progressive republicans are sadly all too willing to join the fight.

"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

What part of this do these progressive elites not comprehend?

And for those who scoff at the idea the citizenry may at some point have to defend ourselves against a tyrannical government, they identify themselves as illiterate in history.

Sen. Ted Cruz took to the floor of the Senate to call these folks out.



Cruz accurately summed it up in a Tweet.

Forget that the progressive left has no right to infringe on the rights of the citizenry bestowed upon them in the Constitution, we are at war.

Ask anyone at Pulse; the government will fall far short in their efforts to protect you.  When it comes to crisis
management amidst a terror attack, you must protect yourself.

And against these ISIS fighters, that will be mighty tough to do after your government has disarmed you.

Cooper Flew the Coop

In a despicable display of partisanship, Anderson Cooper flew the coop attacking Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi about her actions opposing gay marriage in Florida.

 

Cooper, who is highly regarded for his journalistic integrity among the media elites and even by some on the right, including firebrand conservative Glenn Beck, is being applauded by progressives, liberals and the LGBT community for his blindside of Bondi.

I have always considered Cooper among the very best of the national mainstream media, which can no doubt be considered strongly left leaning.  But I found his attack on Bondi nothing short of strongly offensive.

The LGBT community, which includes Cooper, is miffed with Bondi for her opposition of the legalization of gay marriage.  Bondi was acting on behalf of the state of Florida (I am a resident of the Sunshine State) in leading the opposition, as her job having been elected dictates. As she pointed out, the majority of the residents of Florida are against the measure, as am I.

That does not in any way suggest she, or any of the other Floridians against that initiative, hate the LGBT community. We do not.  We just happen to believe marriage is between a man and woman, as our Christian beliefs dictate.  Certainly, the greater majority are in favor of a civil union which would allow for loved ones to have legal standing, contrary to Copper's suggestion otherwise.

Incidentally, this is a position recently held by both President Obama and Hillary Clinton until it became politically expedient to change positions, with Clinton calling it a "sacred bond" and a "bedrock principle."



At any rate, as common sense would suggest, this was not an appropriate time to address this issue with AG Bondi. Unless your manners and professionalism took a back seat to your personal agenda.  They did with Cooper, and my respect for him immediately flew the coop.

Katie Hopkins had a brilliant piece over at The Daily Mail.

In a rather stunning speech Tuesday, a petulant Obama hunkered down in defense of Islam essentially blaming America for the grotesque loss of life in Orlando. Obama took a shot at Donald Trump, as did Hillary in a follow up speech.

But it is Trump who has accurately assessed the real issue, radical Islamic terrorists, and make no mistake, it is the left, led by these two anti-American elites, and their policies, that are in large measure to blame for this terrorism.

"Perhaps it is those who preach tolerance that we should be most afraid of. Democrats and liberals preach tolerance. But in doing so they have chosen to ignore the dark truths of a religion which is the most intolerant of all" noted Hopkins.

Agreed.

Cooper, and his progressive partners in the media, do not seem to have any anger whatsoever against radical Islam and the destruction that surrounds them. No, they take aim, with fervor, attacking opponents of the LGBT cause, which is dear to them.

The safety of the citizens of America, all of them, are dear to me.

If only Anderson Cooper would extend such efforts calling out those who are looking the other way as terrorists murder our citizens rather than taking this opportunity to advocate on behalf of the LGBT agenda.

Maybe he could have waited until we bury our neighbors categorized not as LGBT or Latino unless it is an agenda item for you, but as fellow Americans, before engaging AG Bondi?

Evil are these terrorists, not AG Bondi, and this was without question a terrorist attack on all of us.

When will the leftists ever learn.  As Hopkins accurately notes, they may never.

An Appetite of a Garbage Disposal.

The progressive left has placed America on a steady course to a European social democracy in "endless pursuit of goal that cannot be achieved".

An appetite of a garbage disposal.

A government powerful enough to give is equally powerful enough to take away. The action is not about helping the citizenry; rather about controlling it. Increasing government control over the citizenry places the individual on a road to serfdom.

Free markets and limited government empower the individual, and create the best path to prosperity.

Why more government is NEVER enough for liberalism

Risk Opportunity Lost Under Dependency

Most Americans are on the road to serfdom, and they don't even know it.

The young folks who think the system is screwing them are turning in large measure to Bernie Sanders, but his brand of socialism is sure to box them in, squelching the opportunity to risk, or bet on themselves, effectively ending their dreams, if they have them, of becoming independently wealthy and free.

The ramifications of the progressive march over the past decade, with orchestrated efforts to discredit churches, private companies, agencies and organizations while creating divisions between classes through race, gender and economic status, has resulted in the Millennials embracing of big government rather than free market capitalism.

Therefore, sadly, the position taken by the Millennials would certainly be considered reasonable. It is all they know. The economic systems are in large measure broken, full of manipulation and corruption, but the answer is not expansive government or a kingmaker.

The answer is free market capitalism, the best path to prosperity, liberty and freedom.

A Horrifying Agenda

BARACK OBAMA TO BECOME LEADER OF THE WORLD!

Although the rhetoric is often ambiguous, bordering on Orwellian doublespeak, behind the scenes the actions undertaken by President Obama, which are most successfully masked by the mainstream media, allow it reasonable to conclude "Obama wants to destroy traditional America which he sees as evil, paternalistic, imperialistic, bullying and unfair. His goal is to rebuild the country as a socialist state, a utopia where all [globally] receive the same outcomes regardless of merit and effort".

"Obama wants to destroy traditional America which he sees as evil, paternalistic, imperialistic, bullying and unfair. His goal is to rebuild the country as a socialist state, a utopia where all receive the same outcomes regardless of merit and effort".

As we have previously noted, Obama will fit right in as UN Secretary General following his horrendous presidency. In fact, since we originally posted about this, stories have speculating about this have now made the national media.

As we wrote in June, "Against the will of the people, in a cloud of secrecy, another attempt to pass Obamatrade, by both parties, is coming. Sen. Jeff Sessions, (R:AL) is warning America, as a significant loss of her sovereignty will occur should Obamatrade pass. It is a "living agreement" with global governance, which means America would adhere to rules from partner nations as they, not us, see fit.

Can you envision Obama as UN Chief in a few years further diminishing the power and status in the world and transferring the wealth of America to nations he deems in need?

Sadly, I sure can.

Obama is poised to lead the UN, who has just adopted Agenda 2030, a blueprint for global socialism and governance which attacks America as founded.  With Obama having signed away much of Uncle Sam's sovereignty through treaty, citizens of America will be forced to conform as freedoms of our citizenry become governed by unelected global bureaucrats who aim to expanded control through central planning for the greater good.

"In addition to addressing climate change, it also sets ambitious goals for areas such as economics, health, energy, education, agriculture, gender equality and a whole host of other issues. As you will see below, this global initiative is being billed as a “new universal Agenda” for humanity. If you are anything like me, alarm bells are going off in your head right about now" said Michael Snyder of End of the American Dream blog.

Please review the 17 as presented by Michael Snyder:

The heart of the 2030 Agenda is a set of 17 Sustainable Development Goals…

Goal 1

End poverty in all its forms everywhere

Goal 2

End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture

 Goal 3

Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages

Goal 4

Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all

 Goal 5

Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls

Goal 6

Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all

Goal 7

Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all

Goal 8

Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all

 Goal 9 

Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation Goal 10 Reduce inequality within and among countries

 Goal 11

 Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable

 Goal 12

 Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns

 Goal 13

Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts*

 Goal 14 

Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development

Goal 15

Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss

 Goal 16

Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels

 Goal 17

Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the global partnership for sustainable development 

On the surface, some of this stuff sounds great.  Who doesn't seek to end poverty and hunger? That is, until you find an progressive elitist seeking to govern your behavior. Recall the arrogance in Michael Bloomberg, who is no doubt looking out for you, seeking to limit the size of your Big Gulp?

Bloomberg, and progressives all, are of the school of thought that it is their responsibility to control though the citizenry by nudging behavior, limiting consumer choice and molding society into their Fabian socialist hearts content.

In actuality, this is really alarming stuff.  It is nothing short of theft of your individualism and freedom.

While you follow the email saga of Hillary Clinton, Globalists, of which she is one, are planning to significantly restrict your liberty and freedom, and American sovereignty, in an evil advertised effort to end poverty through owning economic and social production and activities through regulation. Every alarm bell you have should be ringing loudly, because your liberty and freedom is under direct attack.

Picture Obama as head of the UN post POTUS, using laws he illegally altered and treaties severing sovereignty he placed the US in adherence to, to have United Nations govern over the US.

As we have previously noted, Orwell's 1984 was not supposed to be an instruction manual.

It must never be forgotten, as Ronald Reagan said, "Man is not free unless government is limited".

The horrifying agendas Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are working on with the United Nations, without question, place significant reductions on your freedom and liberty.

Rockin The Bloat

The Hill columnist John Feehery is an absolute idiot, as he said:

“Listen, I think both Cruz and Trump would have a similar impact on the party, neither of which would be very good. I am actually more concerned about Cruz than I am about Trump,” said GOP strategist John Feehery, a former senior leadership aide who is a columnist for The Hill. Feehery added, “I think Cruz has made a reputation of relentless mendacity ... I think he’s a demagogue and I think he’ll destroy the party. I think Trump is much more of a blowhard. But there’s not really a dime’s worth of difference between Trump and Cruz.” 

Actually, Trump and Cruz differ significantly.

Trump is a get things done progressive, who thinks he can utilize his management skills to orchestrate the levers of government to function in a much more efficient and productive manner.  Banking the many relationships he has established in many areas of commerce, Trump visualizes making America great again.

Trump thinks our government is led by a bunch of idiots who fail miserably at getting what those of on the outside would be considered common sense initiatives implemented.  The Donald finds their negotiating skills horrendous, monetary management atrocious and lack of a backbone and ability to advance positive solutions for the nations ills a mind boggling failure. And Trump is not afraid to call them out either.

Americans, not only republicans but democrats and independents, are eating it up.  Trumps position in the polls is not by mistake, is on quite solid ground and appears to be gaining strength.

But there are many pitfalls in the course of action Trump aims to take, as it appears Trump has no plans for a reduction in government activities, just promises much stronger management and effectiveness on the activities he deems warranted. But continued centralized planning and control, a mainstay for progressives, makes for a powerful government highly susceptible to corruption, which is something Trump campaigns against.

Cruz is a Constitutional conservative.

Following the constitution is paramount for Cruz as he seek to bring America back to her founding principles, which are inclusive at their core to individual rights, limited government and Christian values.  Cruz finds the government bloated and oppressive in their ever expanding regulation and taxation, and seeks to limit government influence in the everyday lives of the citizenry, returning the power to the people.

Cruz does not view our current government as idiots at large, rather men who adhere to a differing ideology which borders on anti-american, policies that favor a reduction in the sovereignty of our nation, increasing control over the citizenry by the ruling class and an oppressive government and centralized power increasing in reach from the people.

The reason Cruz ins unpopular with many of his colleagues in the Senate is due to the fact he has called them out as the thieves and liars they are, merchants of a corrupt system of the ruling class they desperately seek to protect.  As president, Cruz would immediately begin work to dismantle these levels of corruption in the halls of Congress.

So it is that one area Mr. Feehery is accurate in is that both men would derail the status-quo, which has the ruling class in GOP establishment quite concerned.  You know, Ronald Reagan labeled the status-quo as Latin for the mess we're in, and boy howdy, are we in a mess.

Donald Trump, Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz

With the candidacy of Jeb Bush in ruins, the GOP establishment has turned to Marco Rubio, a candidate they tried to squash as he rose up as a Tea Party candidate challenging the unprincipled Charlie Crist is a senatorial race in Florida.

Now, Rubio is the only hope they have to salvage the big game they are playing in Washington. While not the wildcard Trump or Cruz represents, Rubio is not a sure bet for the establishment either, just preferable to the unthinkable.

But as it stands now, with Trump and Cruz out front, the establishment is very, very nervous.

Meet the ruling class, who consider authoritarian control over the nation appropriate, and as it suits them, engaging in corruption and failing to follow the rule of law with an allowance for what they view as legally permitted. Any candidate that is perceived as a threat to their power will be targeted for ridicule; labeled as extreme and discredited within the media.

While they fear Trump, they are petrified of Ted Cruz, and will make every effort to destroy either or both candidates as polling would dictate.

The long knives are out, including from some unlikely sources, inclusive of usually on point Ron Paul.

If they fail in the efforts of destruction of Trump and Cruz and cannot get Rubio in, many have stated openly about the possibility of a brokered GOP convention or God forbid, consideration of supporting Hillary Clinton.

They wonder how this has happened, but the rise of outsiders, of which both Trump and Cruz would be considered by any analytical measure, is a creation of a themselves, a republican party that has failed, in large measure since Reagan left office, in adhering to the principles of limited government, individual freedom entrepreneurship.

Rather than opposing the socialist democrats, with such limited push back while the government expansively runs roughshod over the citizenry, it would be reasonable to conclude the GOP was complicit and supportive of the transformation of America.

Exit all conservatives and libertarians, in addition to the Reaganite republicans.

Should the ruling class not be toppled in 2016, I am fearful America will continue to promptly drift away from freedom and liberty for all and become a much darker place as Reagan once warned us about.

Trump and Cruz differ significantly, and there is a choice to be made between the progressive Donald Trump, perhaps a version of the Gray Champion depicted in Struass and Howe's 1997 brilliant generational theory masterpiece "The Fourth Turning", or Ted Cruz, who wholeheartedly embraces the Constitution and the principles laid out by our founding fathers.

Either of these two gentlemen, both of whom are certain to crash the status-quo, would be far superior to another administration of ruling class elites who seek global governance, embrace the transformation of wealth and govern against the will of the people.

Our nation is in real trouble and the next administration will have legions of major, unforeseen issues to navigate through. We will need an individual whose feet are firmly planted in principle to guide us through.

Trimming The Bushes

The Bush family has a long legacy in politics in this nation.

Prescott Bush was a Senator from Connecticut, which heavily influenced his son, George Herbert Walker Bush, who became the 41st President of the United States after serving eight years as Vice President under President Ronald Reagan and had perhaps the most distinguished career of any modern day politician.

George H. W. Bush's son, Jeb Bush, currently running for the GOP nomination for president in 2016, was a very successful two term governor of the state of Florida.  Of course, another son, George W. Bush, after a successful two terms as governor of the state of Texas, became the 43rd President of the United States.

Overall, while many disagree with differing policies of the each of the Bush's during their tenures of governance, generally speaking most citizens have a favorable opinion of each of the men and their family.  I fit in that category.

As a Floridian, I though Jeb Bush performed very well as governor of my state. I have overall favorable of the presidencies of both 41 and 43, while I would not consider either among the top presidents in our history.  I am not supporting Jeb in 2016 for the GOP nomination.

The Bush family usually stays above the fray of political for the most part.  George W. Bush has had not one word of criticism of Barack Obama, who seemingly weekly blamed W for every problem he encountered.

But, sadly, over time, the Bush family has felt compelled to bash other republicans.  Former First Lady Barbara Bush had spoke strongly of her distaste for Sarah Palin.  Jeb Bush discussed how the GOP should move away from the policies of Ronald Reagan.

Unlike many, while we had areas of disagreement, we have always held George W. Bush in high regard.

Therefore, from a man of decency who has declined to comment on a president leading our nation to destruction, we were puzzled on his unprompted voiced negativity regarding Sen. Ted Cruz. Glenn Beck has a theory on this, on which we place a high degree of accuracy. On the issue in question, we strongly side with Sen. Cruz, and expansion into the area of question reveals some troubling avenues of concern, inclusive of immigration.

Although I did not really recognize it at the time, both Bush presidents can be classified as progressive, where the idea of government expansion in the lives of the citizenry, something Reagan acted against, is welcomed.  In fact, given the families close relationship with Bill and Hillary Clinton, it would appear they have little problem with the US traveling the same track, just think they can do a btter jog of maneuvering the levers.

It appears, given where Jeb currently stands in the race for the 2016 GOP nomination, the progressive blueprint the Bush family has embraced to political success has been discovered by GOP primary voters and appears to be being soundly discarded.

At least we can recognize that the Bush family are good people, as evidenced by the actions of George W. Bush just today, who on this Veterans Day, visited a group of veterans who were visiting his presidential library in Dallas.


God Bless all our Veterans! We all greatly appreciate your service and sacrifice!
