"Crappy John" Cox: Liberal New "Majority" Pro-Cap and Trade, Agenda 21 Candidate



John Cox gave away more of the store when he debated terribly before the California Republican Assembly.

It's astonishing some of the things that he said.



1. At the outset, Cox was introduced as a member of the New Majority.

The New Majority is running away from cultural issues, the very issues which hold our communities together. The New Majority got behind RINO Kashkari in 2014 only because they feared a Donnelly candidacy would have hurt GOP chances all over the state.

Whatever their views, it's sad that we had a Democrat-lite RINO who had no interest in embracing or caring about the background and the concerns of the Republican Party or the state. RINO Kashkari voted twice for Barack Obama.

How is this guy a Republican? Would someone please tell me?

The New Majority gave David Hadley really bad advice and he lost in 2016, too.

New Majority people have made some really bad choices in other matters, too. Andy Gimme-Kandie (Gharakani is his real name) pushed back against the Beach Cities Republicans and did a lot of harm to conservatives of all backgrounds. I suspect very strongly that the deep pockets of the liberal-leaning New Majority pushed RPLAC to revoke the charter for the Beach Cities Republicans, too.

What's the point of a political party which has no interest in winning elections or shaping the culture? What's the point, indeed?



2. Cap and Trade. In the debate, Cox said he favored a carbon tax and the carbon-reduction talk. What? This is all wrong. Not good. Cap and Trade is a Wall Street scam which has no basis or bearing in reality.

3. He voted for "Libertarian" (Actually Liberal Statist) Gary Johnson. Reminder: John Cox voted for Gary Johnson, the same Gary Johnson who favored Cap and Trade taxes, along with locking up men and women who wouldn't bake a cake for a gay wedding. There was nothing libertarian about Gary Johnson. He was a pot-head heavy statist more interested in spoiling President Trump's chances and enjoying his three months of fame on the campaign trail.

I am so glad that Donald Trump is our President, by the way.


Not only that, but he tried to dance around the issue and run away from it in an interview with Scott Shafer of KQED:



4. Agenda 21. In a stunning moment, Cox admitted that we needed more high density housing and public transit. Members of the audience booed and called out loud: "No!"

No Agenda 21!

Cox is A-OK with Agenda 21. UGH! Please, someone, show this guy the door!



5. Log Cabin RINOs love John Cox.

Ugh. Charles Moran wants to celebrate John Cox, and even claims that the base is behind him all the way.

Uh .. I don't think so.
John Cox got takenand my thoughts on it:
Cox wants to play a middling line of policy issues and positions. He is trying to display himself as a middling candidate who can appeal to Independents and Democrats.

But he isn't even appealing to Republicans or to Trump supporters!

John Cox needs to Go!

Vote for Travis Allen! He is pro-life, pro-California, pro-Trump, and he is not afraid to fight!

Johnson-Weld: The ILL-Libertarian Joke

I cannot hide my schadenfreude about the Election 2016 Libertarian ticket.

Gary Johnson and William Weld should call themselves the LINO team.

They are completely “Libertarian in Name Only.”

Gary Johnson loves his open borders, and he has embraced Barack Obama's executive amnesty.

What a joke!

This guy flew off the handle when Guy Benson of Townhall.com called illegal aliens "illegal.” This harsh exchange is no fantasy. Check out the interview here.

Gary Johnson is offended by the term "illegal immigrant." He insisted—twice—that  Benson refrain from using the term "illegal" to describe people whose presence in this country is a violation of the law. Incredible. I really have to hand it to journalist Benson for not letting the presidential candidate getting away with treating illegal immigration like a big fat nothing. It's a huge issue, especially for the men and women who have lost safety and security, employment and wealth, or who have lost loved ones killed by illegal aliens.

How embarrassing for Johnson.

There have been other interview faux-pas, too!



Not once but twice, Johnson has flubbed famously on foreign policy issues, even though they have mocked Trump's potential international expertise. He did not know what 'Aleppo' was. That is sad and embarrassing. That city is witnessing the massive destruction of men, women, and children in the midst of a flaming cauldron of sectarian and tribal rivalries.

He also couldn't name one foreign leader he admired. MSNBC screwball Chris Matthews, who lives to skewer Republican chances, tried to assist the Libertarian candidate during another pop-quiz. Johnson blanked, again. Even if he genuinely could not think of an admirable foreign leader, he exposed his arrogance as well as ignorance.  Even Weld couldn't cover for Johnson's joke of a performance.


I can think of three on the fly: Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel, Marine LePen of Le Front National in France, Nicholas Sarkozy former French President, and the Prime Minister of Hungary Viktor Orban (OK, that was four).

Now, let's talk about what they think of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

ABC's left-wing anchor Chris Cuomo tried to get a feel for how Gary Johnson and William Weld felt about Bill and Hillary Clinton. Following key word associations, we learned how these Libertarian candidates felt about the President and the other Presidential candidates running for office.

What did Gary Johnson think of Barack Obama? "Good guy."

Really? Awful. The Libertarian ticket is completely out of touch with the ups and downs of Middle America and their private lives.

What about William Weld’s opinion of Obama? "Statesman-like."

Now the ticket went from derisive to dangerous. There has been nothing—nothing
 at all—statesman-like about Obama. He is a Chicago community organizing thug out to push his progressive agenda, using brute state power, whether the Constitution wants it or not, shoving aside anyone who stands in his way.

Obama has lied, bullied, and trolled his political opposition, expanding the role of the state into our daily lives with no regard for what is right, good, or true. Shame on him!

What did they have to say about Hillary Clinton? These admissions are truly embarrassing:

Gary Johnson, after hemming and hawing for a few seconds, blurted out: "A wonderful public servant."

Yes, Hillary Clinton, the wonderful public servant who:

1. Lied about her inaction following the death of four diplomats in Benghazi, Libya
2. Tried to scrub the talking points and any meaningful discussion about the issue
3. Ran a corrupt Foundation funneling and laundering money from rogues, thugs, dictators, and Islamic terrorists
4. Allowed her predator husband to rape numerous women, and still covers for his abusive philandering
5. Is a serial lair, with no conception of how to articulate the truth, even when telling the truth would never hurt her.
6. The attorney who smeared a young victim of rape to get off a child predator, and laughed about it years later ...

Yeah, what an incredible public servant. Indeed.

Then William Weld engaged in the same Hillary Clinton hind-lick maneuver: "Good friend, nice kid, shared an office during the Nixon impeachment. Real bond, life-long."

Did he forget that #CrookedHillary Rodham was fired from the Watergate investigation because of her penchant for lying … even then? He still has a life-long bond with that old, corrupted fraud? Sad, very sad.

The Johnson-Weld tag team is the epitome Liberal-tarian or Il-libertarianism. They are a gross disappointment who should thank the media polling apparatus for keeping them off the debate sage

Johnson wants a carbon tax, supports executive amnesty, and would throw Christians in jail for not catering events celebrating homosexual conduct.

William Weld is the epitome of RINO-awful. As governor, he shoved abortion, gay marriage, and big government environmentalism onto Massachusetts. His legacy includes Charlie Baker, a total RINO who thinks it's a good idea to allow men into women's restrooms if they think that they are women. This transgender agenda is played up as part of the “live and let live” mentality, but is actually hurting our society, putting women and children at risk. Yet the Massachusetts GOP Establishment think that blurring genetic distinctions is "progressive."

By the way, William Weld loves assaults weapons bans and playing nice with the Massachusetts Democratic Kleptocracy. To this day, LINO Weld has consistently endorsed pro-Big Government, tyranny Democrats over fellow Republicans in Commonwealth legislative races.

But really, should we be surprised?

Weld admitted that his larger goal has been to slow down Trump's rise. Admittedly, the Donald is doing more damage to his own campaign (sadly). At least Johnson-Weld are hurting Hillary Clinton's chances in key states (good news for me!)


Let's face it. Instead of standing on principle and nominating a Presidential ticket based on its values, Libertarian voters looked for a pragmatic "celebrity" ticket that wavered on key issues, including life, liberty, and the proper individual pursuit of happiness. No one should be surprised that the last A-list Libertarian Presidential candidate (from 1988) Ron Paul won't vote for Johnson-Weld, the ill-libertarian embarrassment.

Ten Tips for Getting NeverTrumpers on the Trump Train

For NeverTrumper Republicans, Election 2016 presents nothing but intolerant options.

Hillary Clinton is corrupt and stiff.

Gary Johnson is marginal but libertarian.

Jill Stein is a true believer (albeit a socialist).

But Donald Trump? He’s a boorish, opportunistic, alt-right hatchet man ready to make deals and ruin our country!

Well …

What can we do about the conservatives who still call themselves #NeverTrump … to vote for Trump?

I get where they’re coming from. I was one of the #NotTrump voters. He was not my sixteenth choice for President (I was never going to pull the lever for Jim Gilmore, Lindsey Graham, Jeb Bush, George Pataki, etc).

But Donald Trump hovered towards the middle of the pack for me. Now he’s the top dog.

With less than two months left before Election Day, here are nine tips for getting NeverTrumpers in your circle of connections on board.

1. Do not shame NeverTrumpers with arguments like: "If you don't vote for Trump, then you are voting for Hillary."

Look, it's not their fault that the front-runner candidates are Clinton, Trump, Johnson, Stein, or a write-in. If they choose not to vote, they are choosing not to vote. How can anyone accuse a NeverTrumper of voting for anyone?

It’s a losing game to push conscientious voters to do something that would violate their conscience. A vote for Trump has to look like something they want to do, a decision that will further their underlying long-term goals.

Besides, I know about facing two unpalatable choices. In California, Prop 14 has created Top-Two jungle primaries, which has left me choosing between left-wing Democrats.

I chose not to vote.  Part of the voter franchise is the right not to vote! So, forget the “You’re voting for Hillary” rant.

2. List for NeverTrumpers net positives about Trump’s  campaign.

One distinct positive about Trump is his outreach and support for the Remembrance Project. Why not rely on this connection to get friends on board?

Trump brought immigration to the forefront, along with a searing focus on national sovereignty, security, and sanctity. The Remembrance Project is a hard-core non-profit demanding secure borders and a policy that puts Americans first. We need to feel pride in our country. We needed a healthy dose of nationalism in this country once again, and Trump doled out the treatment.

Donald Trump was the only candidate who responded to the group's pleas.

He knows the parents who lost their beloved children to illegal aliens. I came face to face with this horrific destruction in June, when an illegal alien named Johnny Sanchez set fire to an abandoned Los Angeles warehouse and killed five Americans.

Today, it’s clear to me that Trump means to win and to govern.

I shared this connection with a staunch NeverTrumper, a famous and well-respected conservative. He conceded the value of that Trump’s cherished respect for those families.

3. Show how Trump has hastened the much-needed demise of destructive political correctness, and has some solid conservative ideas.

Let the NeverTrumper know that it’s OK, even respectable that they have not been vocal Trump supporters.

Anyone can look over my previous articles, blog posts, letters, and recordings.

I wanted anyone else but the Trump a rodeo clown, a Democrat, everything but Presidential material.

Give me some credit. I never thought he was racist.



He was funny, if somewhat unserious.

At least at the outset.

I am supporting Donald Trump, not just because he is the Republican nominee.

And not just because he has the best (and getting better) chance of defeating the corrupt and crooked Hillary Clinton.

I like his policies on taxes, military, and the Second Amendment. I liked his list of potential Supreme Court nominees. I do not believe he poses a pre-eminent threat to conservatism, either.
He is an invigorating tonic for public discourse. I didn't have a big problem with an undercard and mainstream debate. I did object to ten people competing for attention on one stage. But that's a major media problem for another team. During the earlier debates, Presidential candidates savaged Hillary Clinton and each other as well as the media


4. Yes, you can trust Trump to govern as a conservative.

He has sacrificed business contacts. His image, his brand has endured an unprecedented assault from the left, from the media, from every special interest and big government establishment front out to get rich at everyone else's expense. And he has made the left-wing "mainstream media" look like the bought-and-sold corrupt frauds that they are. The outreach to the Remembrance Project has not brought him free press, either.

5. If your NeverTrumper was a Carson supporter, point out Carson’s endorsement and leadership in the Trump campaign.

6. If your NeverTrumper is a Cruzer, acknowledge that Cruz had every right not to endorse Trump. Share your appreciation for Cruz’s efforts in the U.S. Senate, like fighting for free Internet and defunding sanctuary cities. Tell him that you hope Cruz gets re-elected to the U.S. Senate and runs for President in eight years.

7. If your NeverTrumper is a Johnson supporter, ask him to explain that Libertarian candidate’s support for a carbon tax, Obama’s executive amnesty, and wavering on religious liberty. Ask him—but do not argue—to explain why Johnson boasts about agreeing with Bernie Sanders 73% of the time.

8. If your NeverTrumper is—God forbid—voting for Jill Stein, walk away. Rejoice that Hillary Clinton has lost another LIBERAL voter.

9. Talk about all the swing states. Clinton is now plummeting, and Trump is ascending. Trump is gaining in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Ohio, and Florida.

Trump has already sewn up Iowa and North Carolina, too.

10. Tell them how Donald Trump is continuing to savage Clinton’s corruption, health, and integrity without holding back. NeverTrumpers want a conservative fighter. Show them how Trump is taking down the Democratic nominee and the party with her.

These are the ten ideas that worked with me.


Let’s get more conservatives on board and Make America Great Again!

Berniecrat Miguel Zuniga Will NOT Support Hillary Clinton, Voting for Jill Stein

Bernie Sanders supporters will not abandon their ship. They cannot get behind support Hillary Clinton, a crooked politician who will say and do anything to get elected.

She has a legacy of dubious statements to justify these allegations. She told lies, even when there were no reasons to do so.

Hillary Clinton is a liar, pure and simple. She also enabled her rapacious husband, and pushed some of the most extreme, left-wing policies during her first two years as First Lady.

Hillary-care and Democratic corruption brought down Democratic majorities in 1994.

It looks like the country has changed, and has become more comfortable with corruption. Perhaps voters do not like Donald Trump, and feel that Hillary Clinton is more palatable, even though she is incredibly malevolent.

In the past week, I have met two enthusiastic left-wing activists, and neither one of them is voting for Hillary Clinton as "the lesser of two evils." Both of them readily admitted: "I cannot vote for her."

The phrased the uestion as a physical impossibility!

Meet Miguel Zuniga of Lomita, CA:




His bright blue Bernie shirts are unmistakable, unavoidable.

At first, I thought "Someone needs to tell this guy that the primary is over. Bernie lost."

But for hard-core Bernie supporters, the Revolution lives on. They want radical equality, at all costs. 

I had to know more about this guy, and what he is thinking.

Check out his first comments:



It was really gratifying to listen to a former Democrat announce the litany of scandals and corruption which define the Hillary Clinton machine.

I cannot imagine how outraged the grassroots Democrats activists must have felt--and still feel--knowing that the Democratic National Committee Chair Debbie Wasserman-Schultz was tipping her hand the whole time, promoting Madam Hillary at every turn. The interal Wikileaks memos confirm the collusion form the Democratic Party structure doing their damnedest to promote Hillary Clinton and diminish Bernie Sanders.

Then I asked his thoughts about Donald Trump, Gary Johnson, and his new Presidential pick Jill Stein of the Green Party:



Zuniga thinks Trump is crazy, but at least he respects that truth that Trump is not (Really) racist.

He was spinning conspiracy theories, though, that Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Donald Trump are two sides of the same coin. Then again, I must admit that I had believed that Trump was a Democratic Plant who had infiltrated the race to ensure a Clinton victory.

Now, I am not sure what is going on. Trump wants to be a winner, but at the same time he defines winning by how many people like him, follow him, and attend his rallies. Large groups of people at a gathering does not translate into electoral victory. Stomping your feet at a rally is not the same as depositing a ballot at a polling station.

I could not help asking Miguel about his passion for Bernie Sanders. Who could resist, since he had the big blue Bernie Shirt.

Don't neglect to notice his Jill Stein button, too.

Hillary Clinton claims to be riding high in the polls. What will she do on Election Day though, when she notices a wide and growing part of the Democratic base is Not With Her?

Here were his final remarks to me:



Final Reflection

Miguel Zuniga was honest about his affiliations. He was a Democrat, but now he is a full on Green Party candidate. The California 1900 delegates were burning for Bernie Sanders. Now they are going Green for Jill Stein.

He was wrong, but at least honest.

I was really offended when he claimed that religious extremism is the same, whether Christian or Muslim. That is simply not true, and that kind of moral equivocation is the root of many political problems in our country.

He also informed me that an active group of Progressive Democrats still meet every month in Torrance, and they reject Hillary Clinton. They simple cannot vote for her, During our discussion, he rebuffed the criticism that voting for a third party candidate is a wasted vote. Miguel is not settling for that argument. He has been voting for the lesser of two evils long enough. Political history also reveals that abortive third-party runs end up shaping the major party system, as they adopt key planks of the third-party platform to compete nationally in future elections.

As an average American who wants good, albeit limited government and rigid adherence to the Constitution, I reject almost everything that the Green Party stands for. More government will not protect the environment, as much as force more businesses out of business, while creating more unaccountable bureaucracies which put our lives and our environment at risk.

As a Trump supporter, I hope that more progressives feel the same way as Miguezl, and either vote for Jill Stein or do not vote at all!

Clinton, Johnson, and the Black Hole of Secular Tyranny

In California, conservatives have just finished one fight defending freedom of conscience against the onslaught of the LGBT agenda. SB1146—the Kill Christian Colleges Bill—is still up for a vote, but has been amended many times, and more Democrats are starting to get cold feet about the invasion of the state into citizens’ spiritual affiliations.

California-based dating site Christian Mingle has caved to the Big Gay Hat Machine. Parents must contend with their kids learning LGBT history.



Fortunately, pro-family forces are waking up in secular, statist California. They recognize that our work is cut out for us. We can win this fight, but we need to accept two sets forward, one step to the side in this journey.

Christianity—and Christians—are under attack in this country. Christian bakers, florist, photographers, pizza parlors must compromise their convictions or face shame, fines, even jail time! There’s another reason I am gladly on the Trump train. Donald Trump recognizes the unprecedented assault on the First Amendment, particularly freedom of religion. He wants to repeal the Johnson Amendment.

And speaking of Johnson  …

For all the Never Trumpers still pouting, let me explain why your other two major options are completely impalatable, and why you should cast them out before they possess more of our dithering, unsure electorate and set this country on the road to serfdom November 8th.

Hillary Clinton is not just a liar, a thief, an ambitious Wall Street hag with murder in her eyes for anyone who stands in her way.

She is a statist, and a secular one.



I don’t care how many church services she’s attended, or how many preachers praise her, or how many congregations lay hands on her.

She has no regard for the transcendent, or for the Constitution. And our Founding Charter has great respect for the Divine, especially to “secure the blessings of liberty.”

That First Amendment has this distinct first clause: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof …”

And yet …

These are her words about the free exercise of religion in her social order, and only in relation to abortion.


“Far too many women are still denied critical access to reproductive health care and safe childbirth. All the laws we’ve passed don’t count for much if they’re not enforced,” Clinton said, using the euphemism for abortion.”

I am not sure which country she’s talking about. Some third-world country, perhaps. If she is talking about this country, she must be thinking of those run-down, Democratic dominated third-tier urban ghettos.

Clinton continues:

“Rights have to exist in practice — not just on paper. Laws have to be backed up with resources and political will. And deep-seated cultural codes, religious beliefs and structural biases have to be changed.”

WHAT?!

Surprisingly, the conservative media (no surprises about the Big Three Mainstream media) did not blast this admission, then blast Clinton.  She wants tyranny, pure and simple. Russia has already banned evangelism in the name of national security. Now we have Presidential candidates debating whether the First Amendment should remain.

Clinton has also shamed Orthodox Judaism for its strictures regarding men’s comportment with women. But her distressing comments about “religious beliefs” should leave no doubt about her schemes.

Rest assured, she will not stop with forcing religious convictions to cave on baby-killing. You will have to bake the gay wedding cake, officiate the gay wedding, learn about the gay lifestyle, and march in gay pride parades—or else!


Then there’s Gary Johnson.

This guy fails the liberty test—from the Second Amendment to abortion.
But worst of all, on the First Amendment.

Instead of listening to the rising chorus (or Gospel Choir) of concerns, Johnson doubled-down on his secular, statist “Bake that Cake” mentality.

In a recent interview with Washington Examiner, Johnson compared freedom of conscience to invidious discrimination:

“[I]f we allow for discrimination, we're gonna open up a can of worms when it come stop discrimination of all forms, starting with Muslims … who knows. You're narrowly looking at a situation where if you broaden that, I just tell you — on the basis of religious freedom, being able to discriminate — something that is currently not allowed — discrimination will exist in places we never dreamed of."

I reprint the entire passage to showcase the intricate, but ultimately failed tap-dancing Johnson engages in to avoid sounding like a bigoted or narrow-minded politico about religious liberty.
But then the shocker:

“I just see religious freedom, as a category, as just being a black hole."

EXCUSE ME?!

The United States was founded on religious liberty. Men and women of conscience were fleeing persecution, seeking a better life, where they could worship according to informed and private discernment, as opposed to government diktat.

Johnson’s understanding of history has fallen down the Memory Hole. All beliefs are equal before the state, unless the homosexual, atheist, pantheist, or Miley Cyrus objects.

Johnson and Clinton are coming in like a wrecking ball, knocking down the wall of separation that Jefferson was writing about with the Danbury, Connecticut congregations. That demarcation was not about keeping God out of our society, but rather keeping the government out of our preaching, teaching, and practice of faith.

For Johnson and Clinton to reject religious liberty because crazies (i.e. not progressive) would justify murder in the name of God, is (to quote Ian Tuttle of the National Review): “A-grade, five-star, top-shelf stupid.”

Our nation’s Founding Charter, and Founders, settled concerns about abuse of power under the guise of religious liberty.

From Thomas Jefferson (again): “But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods or no God. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.”

Religious liberty defines a free society, causing no harm to person or property. Refusing to bake a cake for an event will not awaken a crisis. As President, Johnson or Clinton would push this country down a black hole from which we may never escape.

Johnson-Weld: Libertarians in Name Only

Third-party candidates are majoring in muddying the waters again in our electoral politics. Minor parties have shaped major party platforms, and they have played spoiler in very contentious races. George W. Bush would have lost Florida, but for Green Party Ralph Nader stealing enough votes from Al Gore. I cannot imagine what this country would have looked like with the former Clinton VP standing up to the rising hordes of radical Islam in the Middle East.

Thanks, Ralph.

For election 2016, third-party bids might derail a Trump win…or Hillary’s chances. The Green Party is cleaning up Bernie voters, trashed by Madam Hillary and her Clinton Clash kleptocracy  in the DNC. Despite the purges of high-echelon DNC strategists (Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, the CEO, etc.), the progressive Left is leaving the Democrats for the Greens. 

Disaffected Republicans, limited government conservatives, and just plain anti-Trump upstarts are checking out Gary Johnson and the Libertarian Party ticket. The former governor of New Mexico, twice elected in spite of establishment opposition in a blue state, is bandying himself as a perfect conservative-limited government foil to Trump and a palatable alternative to the offensive, corrupt, and just plain dishonest Hillary Clinton.

There may be something to their campaign. Or maybe not.


This year, the Libertarian Party presidential candidates were featured in their own kind of prime-time primary debates. I wanted McAfee to win, a business owner with true knowledge and capacities for liberty. John Stossel’s incredible contributions as a libertarian journalist were particularly helpful for discerning among the top three for the top Libertarian ticket.

I appreciate the libertarian position on many issues. The size and scope of the state should be limited, although not outright removed. Libertarians are not anarchists, by the way. The least restrictive environment is their calling card. I want to end the federal War on Drugs, and let the states handle the drug issues. 

I respect Johnson’s record in New Mexico. Susanna Martinez would not be seated in the Santa Fe Mansion without the work Johnson had done before her. I cannot speak as highly for William Weld, the Libertarian VP pick.

And that’s only the start of the problem.

Townhall.com columnist Guy Benson shared some disturbing conflictswith Republicans for Gary Johnson. There are other glaring platform stances from the Johnson-Weld ticket which should make conservative stump for Trump, even if they have to hold their noses.


  1. When it comes to freedom of conscience and the First Amendment, Johnson is a total statist. He exposed his anti-Libertarian underpinnings during one debate, when Johnson declared that Christian bakers, florists, and other entrepreneurs should be forced to provide services for a homosexual wedding. This is outrageous! California is fighting off a corrosive anti-First Amendment legislation, which is essential turning homosexual behavior and transgenderism into enshrined civil rights, at the expense of individual liberty. Johnson would be the icing on the not-so-free cake.
  2. Can any true libertarian stand behind a candidate so contrary to their views? For the record, Trump has asserted that he will protect freedom of conscience, and even signaled his intent to repeal the (Lyndon Baines) Johnson Amendment, a subversive section of the tax code which has muzzled churches from advocating for candidates and causes over the past six decades.

 Critics have noted that Johnson lines up 73 percent of the time with “Weekend at Bernie” Sanders. Conservatives who fear that culture issues like marriage and abortion are weighing down the Republican ticket should think again. Pro-life is surging, and Christian counter-mentum to LGBT bullying has gained strength. People might not trust Trump on cultural issues, but they should turn down Johnson immediately.

1. On immigration, Johnson has signed onto Obama’s executive amnesty which the Supreme Court struck down. But his mouthy running mate William Weld compared the construction of a border wall to the Berlin Wall. Bad history, unjustified morality. Weld also believes rounding and deporting illegals is just like Nazi Germany’s purge of Jewish citizens from cities to concentration camps. Those comparisons are odious, invidious, and reprehensible to the millions of Americans’ decent expectation for secure borders and enforced immigration laws.

2. Johnson blames the drug war and law enforcement’s connection to it for the sharp rise in police shootings, especially of blacks. Politico reports: “But poor relations between police and African-Americans stems from the criminalization of drug use, he said.”
He says nothing about the destruction of the family, nothing about the negative consequences of welfarism in black communities, and nothing about the detrimental urban policies of inner-city Democratic politicians.



He has also applauded Black Lives Matter for their efforts. Ugh. #BlackLivesMatter gets all the respect, when our peace officers are getting shot in the back by politicians and thugs? I don’t want this man in the White House putting more public safety officers’ lives at risk.
Now, about William Weld, Johnson’s VP nom:

  1. He’s an arrogant liberal who destroyed the Massachusetts Republican Party. I have worked with concerted, connected conservative activists in the Bay State, and they have utter contempt for this guy. 
  2. To this day, Weld is a cheerful gun-control enthusiast, but would let hunters keep their rifles. The Second Amendment is not for hunting little ducks, but politicians when they try to take your rights away (hat tip, Bob Dornan).
  3. Weld is actually a big government extremist who resorted to state power for environmental protection and expanded the social safety net in Massachusetts. How are these views libertarian?
While some disaffected Republicans may not like Trump, and no one would dissuade their dissatisfaction, they should be horrified at a Johnson-Weld administration.
Just say No to LINO (Libertarian in Name Only) Gary Johnson and his partner in big government crime William Weld!

10 More Reasons I Will Not Vote for the Gary Johnson (or William Weld)

Last time, I gave ten clear reasons why I would not vote for Libertarian Presidential candidate Gary Johnson for President.

I hope more American readers, particularly unhappy Republicans and disconcerted conservatives heed my comments.

Yes, Johnson did a great job as a Republican Governor in Democratic New Mexico.

Yes, Johnson and Weld want to shrink the bloated federal government.

For many disgruntled conservatives, Johnson-Weld have presented themselves as a viable third-party option.

All noteworthy points for those who find the Top Two Presidential picks unpalatable.
I am not a YUUUUGE Trump fan, but he beats the alternative, a felonious female who just dodged a well-deserved indictment because of irrepressibly corrupt federal law enforcement agencies.

But Gary Johnson?

Trump exceeds the Johnson-Weld tag team.

Here are ten more reasons why voters should say “Go Away” to Libertarian Johnson-Weld

1. Johnson chose William Weld for his vice presidential pick, a RINO from Massachusetts who spent more time disuniting the center-right coalition in the Bay State rather than building a resurgence of limited government, individual liberty, and constitutional rule in his home state.
So much for advancing the libertarian cause.

2. Weld has endorsed Democrats (big government, big spending statists who also attack life and family), and considers Hillary Clinton a better presidential candidate than Donald Trump:

  • ·         Hillary Clinton lied about Benghazi

  •  She lied about the disturbing connections between the Clinton Foundation and the deals done with rogue notions.

  • ·      She lied about her email servers, the classified emails, and about her dealings within the State Department.


3. They are both fringe candidates, and they embrace their marginal status. Johnson declared this much on Lawrence O’Donnell’s MSNBC left-wing love-fest. (Loony, uber-insensitive, and utterly laughable Lawrence O’Donnell loves these Libertarians. That is reason enough to toss them off the ballot.)

4. Johnson’s latest achievement? He stopped smoking pot a few months ago. He’s still working this program. Who knows what illicit drugs or controlled substances Weld is hooked on.
Do we need a pot-head in the Oval Office?


5. We already know that these Libertarians support marriage “equality.” At the same time, they praise Hillary Clinton, who has done repeated—and suspect—dealings with rogue states that kill homosexuals. Hypocrisy much?

6. The Weld-Johnson candidates like to call themselves “centrists”, when in fact they embrace some disturbing extremes. This is crazy marketing, or Orwellian political double-speak. Take your pick.

7. Gary Johnson blames the majority of police shootings on the Drug War. I blame it on crazed criminals,  Social Injustice Bullies, and a radical, anti-authoritarian, Communistic impulse ravaging the country.

8. As Governor of Massachusetts, Weld pushed government regulations to protect the environment, and expanded the social safety net for the working poor: not exactly Libertarian policy developments. Why does any of this matter? Because this Libertarian ticket is claiming the mantle of fiscal conservatism. Shouldn’t their resumes match their rhetoric?

9. William Weld compares a stern immigration policy—which includes deporting eleven million illegal aliens—to Nazi Germany rounding up all the Jews and other ethnic groups for extermination.
I ask every ready to ponder such an offensive, vacuous, and troublesome analogy. With such a disregard for our nation’s borders, and world history, plus a hack-politician immediately referencing Hitler and the Holocaust to describe an opponent’s immigration policy, Americans diverse of backgrounds (and patriotic sentiment) in this country should denounce the Johnson-Weld ticket.
Of course, Weld attempts to downplay his remarks by stating: “I am not calling Donald Trump a fascist or a Nazi.”

Sorry, Bill, but you are, and you are denigrating the millions of blacks, Hispanics, Asians, and Jews who support Donald Trump for President.

10. William Weld compared the construction of a wall along the United States’ border with Mexico to the Berlin Wall.

This comparison is just as stupid, although slightly less offensive than calling Trump a Nazi.

Mexico and the United States are two separate countries. Every nation has the right—the necessity—to assert its sovereignty and protect its citizens.

Foreign nationals are invading the country across the Southern border, attacking homes, families, committing terrible crimes. The American people have every right to expect their government to secure this nation’s borders. Even libertarians respect that responsibility.
Did I say ten reasons? Here are a few more.

11. William Weld is pro-gun control. As governor of Massachusetts, he signed off on the strictest gun-control measures in the country. He still stands his ground on those decisions (pun intended), and he intends to stake out common ground on this matter with Johnson.

A Libertarian ticket, where one member supports restricting the right of an individual to self-protection? Did I just miss something here? Johnson labeled Weld “the original libertarian.” He also called him a “political role model.” Did he conduct a proper background check on his running mate?
12. They both celebrate the GI Bill, which is funded by taxpayer dollars. There is nothing wrong with the federal government providing home loan and higher educational assistance.



So, how can Johnson-Weld claim to be libertarians, then, if they support this extra involvement of the state?

13. I had mentioned that Gary Johnson called Donald Trump a “pussy”. Then he claimed during his CNN Townhall with liberal-statist anchor/Democratic Party cheerleader Chris Cuomo that he would avoid “name-calling.” Really?!

14. Johnson agrees with SCOTUS Chief Justice John Robert that Obamacare is a “tax”, even though Obama repeatedly lied to the American public that Obamacare was not a tax, and that every would be able to keep their doctor and healthcare plan.

15. They believe that Planned Parenthood has done a lot of good, and that the government should support PP.

The Johnson-Weld ticket dances on its fiscal principles, but allows for government intervention. They engage in the same deprecation against Donald Trump, revile a secure border, and disdain pro-life, pro-family forces in our country.

The American People can do better, and choose better.


Say No to Johnson-Weld for President.

Top 10 Reasons I Will Not Vote for Gary Johnson for President

10 reasons why I would never vote for Johnson: 

1. He is not a real libertarian (see below), but also because of his prior record as a Republican governor of New Mexico.


2. He supports Obama's Executive Amnesty 


3. He is pro-abortion


4. Pro-homosexual marriage


5. He would force private business owners to violate their conscience (Christian baker must bake gay wedding cake, etc)




6. He chose William Weld--liberal RINO former Massachusetts Governor--as his running mate. Really.


7. He already ran for President. Do we really need a do-over third-party candidate? 


8. He called Donald Trump a "pussy", yet cannot say it to the media mogul's face.


9. He did nothing to build the Republican brand or further the libertarian-conservative cause in New Mexico during and after his tenure


10. He doesn't have a a food stamp's chance in South LA of winning.


(11. Added bonus: he won't build a wall.)

Thank you, and have a great day.
