Given Roy Moore's candidacy in your next door neighbor state, I wouldn't say dead. But it's clearly not as prominent as it was under GWB.

That is why wealth, Religion and state supposed to be separate. Now, we have all three mixed in the White House.

We used to have all three mixed centuries ago. It was called feudalism.

Democrats want wealth and the state conjoined. Socialism, communism, fascism, crony capitalism are just peas in the same pod.

Republicans want religion and state conjoined. I don't want either.

04-bow04-bow04-bow with one exception.....the republicans are getting ready to change that stance, or the currently filled positions will have a new face after '18 mid-terms are completed....

You can say that. I'll just continue to happily take the new federal justices DJT is appointing.

At this point he's appointed more federal judges than Obama did his entire first year.


I guess I'll finally end up being ok with judicial activism. 03-wink

no doubt....the south will always have a few of those....I was using "dead" figuratively....maybe I should've phrased as "slowly dying out"

as time moves forward, that strategic talking point will continue to wither away.....there's no turning back that clock.....

pragmatic thinking (with the main focus on strengthening the USD) is beginning to finally be discussed (thanks again DJT)....health care is simply a clusterF at this point....the crossing state lines executive order is a monster start that I completely agree with now that subsidized health care will NEVER go away.....ZERO-care ranked right there with Nixon's war on drugs....are easily the two shittiest macro polices designed in my lifetime....

as a libertarian, it's easily assumed you're on board with that....

as a centrist, I'm basically on board with most of your platform....I'm simply a bit more aligned in the center.....

what I cannot agree with is a third party attempt to infiltrate.....a third party cannot win under the current construct (and frankly, is simply just another label that detracts from achieving the overall goals of "best method practices").....

again, it was why DJT was critical in support and not pining for some putz that would steal votes that WOULD ONLY ensure 4 more years with A batshite crazy biatch at the helm.....that would've been a disaster....

if you remember, I stated when DJT announced, it was simply to get the RNC up off their collective arse.....it didn't take long for him (or me) to realize he had to do it by himself.....

we'll see how '18 plays out....I still have fingers crossed....

pay attention to Bannon and Gorka......they're getting ready to roast some nuts from the private sector relative to BOTH parties.....both of them exiting early was by design....

no question about it....I'm hip-deep on board with how this is progressing.....

just b/c I'm an atheist and socially tolerant doesn't mean I don't want judges that are conservative that rule based on law and constitutional doctrine....

my belief pattern will always require a sense of balance and consistency based on how the law is defined and applied.....

however, what I've seen increase in my lifetime is too many judges lose sight of their duty by design and attempt to 'create' law through judgments based more on personal/public opinion..........

that's simply not how that branch should function....

that's why the federal and state legislative branches should ALWAYS be making a best effort to design laws that are simpler for the WHOLE and not continually infighting due to reelection for their limited constituency......it's another reason I hate ******* politics.....

there's more clusterF laws in this country that are outdated, overstated, overburdening, over complicated, etc.......that's what those stupid ***** should be focusing on and not the uproar o' day.....today's legislative branch is nothing more than knee jerks in a quagmire with a quicksand footing......

this is why term limits in both the senate and house should be priority number one across the board....

pay 'em a fancy salary each year and toss 'em back to the private sector after 8/12 years......they'll be just fine as will the country as we will then begin to attract the best minds instead of the what currently is being housed....

implement major reform how lobbyists are allowed to operate.....that would be even better......

there's a reason it's become a #swamp

and there's a reason I can only hope DJT continues to tear it a new ******* arsehole....
