The reason for Republicans be judged that way is they are left wing using the true center which is not the center of the left but in a Constitutional Republic is the Constitution at best they are the right wing OF the left. which nicely explains their nasty habit of caving.
Center therefore is for those who are Constitutionalists
Left is for Sociaists in varying degrees
Right is presently except for Anarchist way out there on the fringe of the right an area currently not in use but should be as it is the home of political power.
Divine RIGHT of Kings emananated from that and was graphically used by the French assemblies sitting the Kings representatives to the right.
Since we have no KING the definition from history of the citizens being the well spring of power and authority over government should be there or in the Center witih their Constitution instead of lap dogs of the left. Makes more sense than the current BS version and nicely configures and explains just about everything.
But conservative only useful meaning is those in power set in their ways want to keep it that way and take make changes slowly if at all. Sounds like Democrat/Republican Government over Citizens Coalition to me.
Liberals are those on the outside wanting immediate change now regardless of legality sometimes and are out of power. Well that's the citizens at this point. The rest is propaganda reframing, redefinition and media garbage.
Subjectivism stands alone as a non-collective group with simiilar interests and a similar philosophy but without losiing independent thinking and reasoning abiltities.
What you have is a flock of premises which are suspect from the get go. Treat them as such. Things get real clear very fast and that is the real treat!
Johnson started the runaway train of entitlements and the vote for food class.
Welfare about one fifth of the population around 55-60 million. Those numbers often overlap with the first group. But my money says at least 25% draws one or more forms of welfare. Some would be destitute without it. Some of us would be living low on the hog if not moving in with the chickens.
But after that the system like topsy with a pinnochio nose grew and grew and grew
Will the Republicans in the Senate invoke the cloture rule with the media beating them up about "destroying the SCOTUS" as more elderly justices retire or pass on? I doubt it, as their establishment fears the media more than they do the people.
Hillary wants to increase the numbers of immigrants, and move toward amnesty and citizenship for illegals. The President controls the Border Patrol, so expect Hillary to continue the policy of "catch and release" with border crossers. Are you ready for the growth of Sharia law communities? How about the establishment of a trilingual society, with Spanish and Arabic speech and labels given the same priority as English?
Center in a Consitutional Republic is the Constitution
The right historically represents the source of power and formerly was the divine right of kings. is currently unoccupied but should be occupied by the citizens over government segment the current source of power IF they would use it. Ergo Sum unoccupied.
Very succinct.
But Trump has done it, and I have to give him credit for that. He has my vote.
There is no such thing as the Republican Party unless you are referring to the right wing of the left wings Government Party a creature of their establishment masters.
If they ever existed they should have been Constitutional Republic Party. but it's a dandy name and quite unused.
Or did yiou mean the Cave Party?
Left is Government over Citizens
Center Is the Constitution
Right is Citizens over Government
Where would you look to find the location of a Libertarian?
Not what you are used to hearing. I don't care I don't use definitions that are bogus. I use one's that work .
Think about it ia while then find a definiton that works for you
Where would you look to find the reason Republicans always cave.
Add in Conservative and Liberal if you wish.
That's objectivism. My definition may not be your definititon. But neither of us has to use a useless definition
To both sides libertarians look dangerous.
May come as a shock but all conservatives are NOT religious and all liberals are NOT socialists. One reason those two terms are seriously flawed is their applied willy nilly without thought nor reason til there as useful as 'you know.
But tht's the first time except for myself I've heard of the left right and vertical axis being used which is a useful tool.
To wit: Arrange the political spectrume from anarchist at the extreme right to Nazi/Communists at the extreme left and since it's a Constitutional Republic the Constitution in the center. The vertical starts at the top using the old divine right and descending King, Nobles, County trades people, peasants etc as one example or modern terms Natural rights Citizens, family local community government other. If its sliding sticks o in both directions put the vertical where you think it would go politically on the horizontal bar. then slide the vertical pole up or down putting your choice in both directions over one spot.
Being objectivists we make our own and keep it centered on reality. Mine hsas Government/ruling class just to the right of Secular Progressives. When constructing the horizontal Republicans for me are never to the right of center and always to the left of Constitution although...
If they kept one toe in that area it would be all right.
Ideally each system or group can wander at will as long as they keep one foot in the Constitutional Center and NOT as the media does in the Center of the left. What does it look like ...google up political spectrum as another poster suggested and look for one of the examples marked True there are two or three similar. They will have Anarchists at the far right Both Communists and Nazis to the far left. The others are the left's version and not useful.
I like it.
It certainly can.
Again, the rest of the developed world is reconsidering and America is not paying attention.
Many are screaming...what the hell are you doing???
Wait...we haven't seen the "Methane" tax yet.
That would effect all of us! Especially those that eat beans and put hot sauces on everything...pickled egg picklers too!
Did you catch the post on Donna Brazel accidentally maybe on purpose of outing Hillary's Foundation as being dirty?
I prefer a bully to a liar. And not only a liar, one who sells government policy to the highest bidder. Whether for her own personal profit, or the profit of those she believes deserve it.
I don't think a third-party candidate can win. So
which do we vote for: getting shot through the
head with a gun we KNOW to be fully loaded, or
Russian roulette?
Could Trump's alleged talents be useful to America? Possibly, but as a consultant, not as the most powerful person in the world. That title and the unequaled power is the reason Trump is running for president.
Based on his actions, imo, Trump thinks he should be the only choice, and, if elected, he will do everything he can to make certain that Americans have no other choice. He will not be a benevolent dictator, but a vengeful one. The flaws in Trump's character evidenced by his past actions and political affiliations are more than enough to disqualify him from being president.
So...what is you solution to the election of '16?
No point in continuing discussion.
Progressive? With his record. Strike three? That was invented by the lame stream media.
My choice? My first choice was and still a top choice is voting for None of the above but my First choice (and I can see it's not your choice) is between a Constitutional Republic and a Socialist Autocracy.
Let's see if your NYC fixation works two ways. Please is a New York Term does it mean what it implies when you use it? Does it make you something you are not. It stems from a certain NY Culture and is too often knee jerked to includ te speaker in that culture. Come on you can tell us to quote Chung. Do you like being tarred that way. And that's all it takes just a suggestion and a lot of repetition - nothing but personal opinion or the curent party line. So please tell us are you one of them or are you not one of them.
We are not looking for someone to build a country from scratch, they will have assets and influence to start. What we want them to do is to grow those assets, not shrink them.
Will he become an Objectivist? Obviously not, but that incrementalism works. The Democrats have used it for years to build the nanny state. No one is going to get rid of it in a term or two.
Because he will be spending your money, not his.
Both parties have used incrementalism to increase their own power, i.e., the power of the state. Trump is running to be more powerful and he will increase the power of the state, especially the executive branch. This discussion is a waste of time. Neither of us will change our thinking on Trump.
Still it remains What he MIGHT do is not what Hillary WILL do. Sure thing vs lottery ticket is now Sick Hilly and The Sure Thing SecProgs Band with opening act Slick Sax Willy and the Flutettes. Am I over the Line Wanted a new name for the NOW Gang. Rush is using that one.
I'll work on something suitable for Trump.
Is Wednesday still open?

The rats are deserting a Sick-ing Ship. This guy wants them to go to Johnson so the subtraction from Hillary's less than six percent in a three way minus the Klein announcement on human rights for non humans will subtract more of the greens and will brin g it more to even steven instead of six ipercent. Add in Brazels outing of the Clinton Foundation wow no wonder it's a bad week for the Wicked Witch of the Left.
In that event the the lamestream will switch loyalty within moments. But never trust them.
No time to hold a victory feast immediate switch targets and whomever is left standing. The key word would be Constitutional Republic Party a coalition for the unrepresented or some very similar phrase backed up with an agreed upon set of beliefs that leave out the fanatics and focus on the important issues. The rest can be settled later and most the rest should belong to states anyway.
Constitutional protections to add a clear definition of propery rights and ban income tax. The start point is a. all states have recall and b recall includes their state elected delegates to the federal congress of States With that in place any State can jerk any of the jerks that forget their place and for get to say Yes Sir, No Ma'am and No Excuse Citizen.
Get the real republicans the few left 15 Senate and a few in the Representatives. Have them bolt the party and switch membership to the new one. That makes it a legal foundation on which to build then attack on the grassroots and the State level and whats left of the Rinos in the Senate.
Major point get control of SCOTUS appointments. .
Trump for sure is going to go along with whomever and protect his wealth first. It's why he isn't pandering to the left wing extremists. He'll support that and Capitalism. etc. and he won't go left because they are more of a threat to his wealth than anyone.
But the key is immediate response with a plan everyone you know in the other blogs or media ready and if those seated Congressionals will do what I just said they will have a brand new party to operate.
Otherwise if it's back to bickering and nit picking it will go back to being the same in two or three elections.
That means priorities with the minor crap pushed to the side. and that means Coalition time. No matter whose at the helm.
Trump will be easier to change than Johnson can be changed and Weld has to go.
end of story. Think or Thwim.
Why do I say that. People do what they do for four reasons. Money, Sex, Patriotism and the latter depends on which side and Power. Trump is a 1 with a dash 3 and 4 mixed. Hillary a definite 4 with a lot of 1 and dash of 2
Ladies Gentleman it's just a matter of strategy and tactics attack the weak avoid the strong. But if you play like Temujins sons you wil lget a share and then face the same fight. That evilness is not going to quit. Question is what are you prepared to do?
Stop Enabling
Take Control
Make Change
and then take all the agents of the left outside and like any good revolution or counter revolution does try them in a court of law.
Can't leave them running loose. No Quarter and No Pardons.
Is what I just said legal? If it's a counter revolution definitely.
And don't forget to invite the troops to the party. They after al have the ultimate legal right.
Trying to get something that is worthy of a debate but it's not a lost effort. A great demonstration of independent objective thinking over. what.... nothing than can be stated and by the way to the moderaters if this is another 24 suspension deal can I ask for Wednesday?
That suggests the rest is suspect. Especially in the absence of facts which was apparent in a New York minute.
I used to be a registered Republican precisely because my parents were registered Democrats and two bigger hypocritical racists never existed to my knowlege as a youth and adult. I then registered as a Libertarian and finally Independent and an Objectivist.
Here we deal in facts. You had one 'he registered as a Republican.' Not nearly enough
Back to round two are you one of them?
And my apologies to the residents of NYC but you made a fine analogy.
Trump is a politician who will say anything to get the votes he needs to be elected, imo. (Much like the other GOP/Dem candidates.) No doubt Hillary would be worse for gun rights.
Main thing is they only need Just Enough the rest is immaterial and irrelevent and they can turn 50% plus one into a landslide, and avalanche. a Tsunami a mandate just by managing perception for jsut enough people.
I could use it and make you think Carville was a decent human being.
You are. BOHICA Bend Over Hillary Is Coming Again.
