They are also the prototype party of British Loyalists from the Revolution, KKK German Nationalists and Nazi sympathizers from WWI and WWII, communist infiltrators from the Cold War, Islamists from the various Middle Eastern Wars...which party do you think Mao, Stalin, and Bin Laden would belong to if they were Americans citizens and alive today?!

I never understood the draw of a party forged on ideas that reject the premise of celebrating America's founding.

They say 'Make America Great Again? When was America ever great?!'

America was great at a time when the majority of people already knew the answer to that question.

America was never perfect because people aren't perfect, that is why we have laws and a constitutional framework that builds this founding spirit of freedom in each generation through legal reforms and statutes.

Not being perfect doesn't mean that the country wasn't great. Countless billions around the world owe their very existence to that 'greatness' from the trials and tribulations of the last century.

All of the Marxist and Socialist countries that sprung up during that same century cost a blood debt of 100s of millions of lives around the world, this all due to their foundational lack of 'greatness'.

If you don't know the answer to that question then you shouldn't vote in any election, because those elections are based on laws that aren't great enough for you to have an answer to that question...this is their shallow logic!

To the question of whether or not people should stand up for the flag and recite the national anthem, I differ my vote of respect and worthiness to all of the police officers, first responders, soldiers, guardsmen, sailors, airmen, and marines that have given their lives for my ability to freely decide on that question.

They clearly thought that patriotism was worth it enough to pay the ultimate sacrifice for what that flag represents.

To the progressive mind this notion of sacrifice is a cliche. Moreover, it is a eurocentric paleo-liberal abstraction or some other bull sh*t word salad.

But how much more brave is it that I would choose to kneel in the comfortable embrace of the 1st amendment to protest that flag, knowing that I keep good company with all of the other America haters the world-over for political propagandist reasons of their own.

Astonishing to think that the very ironic reason that I can protest my own flag sees such wide contrasts with the very unironic reasons that those brainwashed serfs of sh*thole country 'A' cannot protest their own country's flag.

I don't need to justify why I have always been a Republican, because my reasons are echoed in my opposition to the blatant corruption of the progressive agenda, on display in every single major institution in this country!

They aren't good at hiding it.

I already know that they believe their ideas are the correct set of ideas.

I am a natural contrarian skeptic to widespread groupthinking.

It is leading our society to the mercy of the untethered current of change and chaos with no anchor and no map to guide it.

If groupthink leads to an idea that becomes law, and that law is directly responsible for the decimation of 10s of millions of lives, who is held responsible for the failings of that idea?

Can you punish an idea?

If not, how does the next generation learn from those mistakes?

If the idea is like a river meeting the edge of a cliff-face, how do you swim back upstream when the waters become a waterfall?

The short answer is that you can't.

I differ to precedent for my strategies of governance, where the best ideas remain relatively unchanged from generation to generation and are just as applicable today as it was in the time in which they were first argued in a public forum.

I have known what these people stand for and the tactics that these people use for almost my entire adult life.
