Race Card Fail. Victory Latino US Rolls Out Smear in VA Governor Race

The Latino PAC operating in different parts of the country are predominantly Democratic, left-wing interest groups.

They are obsessed with race, and they are determined to smear Republican candidates as racist at every turn.

The latest smear from Latino Victory US is beyond shameful for the undercurrents and lies pressed in the viewer's face:

This is the most shameful play with the race card I have seen yet.

Virginians of all backgrounds are under attack in their own state. Illegal aliens are overrunning housing. Illegal aliens gangs, specifically MS-13, are targeting Virginia's children!

When will we see a commercial about stopping this murderous thuggery?!

No, instead Latino Victory is only interested in the ongoing push for left-wing multicultural bigotry.

This commercial is the second outrageous smear from the Left against Ed Gillespie.

Guess what? It is going to backfire horribly.

Fred Burgos, a Latino for Trump who serves on the Virginia Republican Central Committee, shared the following on Twitter:

@ArthurCSchaper
Unlike Latino Victory Fund most Latinos don't view the world through the lens of color or race.https://t.co/2IGjg9MYfK

— Fredy Burgos (@fredyburgos70) October 30, 2017

Let's state the facts plainly. The commercial above is actually quite racist. First, to try and exploit the skin color of little children and scare their parents. Then, for this commercial to allege that the Tea Party Movement and the Confederacy resurgence are one and the same. Not true.

Third of all, the Confederacy and the KKK connected with the failed rebellion state were all Democratic. None of them had any connection to the Republican Party at all.

Bad history, bad taste, and a bad commercial.

I called the Latino Victory Fund and told them that I will be supporting and donating whatever resources I can to the Gillespie campaign.

I urge you to do the same!

More Proof: Democrats Cashing in on Illegal Aliens in Los Angeles

The Democratic Party has turned on law-abiding citizens and now exploits the very illegal aliens whom they claim to care about.

Check out these services offered to "immigrants" at Rio Honda College:

This is going on all over LA County.

We are paying for this, people!

One LA resident then told me:

Free shots and free paralegal classes they get there licences and then they act like immigration professional lawyers.

These are the ones who give those classes on how to get protection from ICE.

Hillary, Your Party—Not the GOP—Is Imploding. Here’s Why!

In a stunning turn of doubled-down delusion, Hillary Clinton, the twice-failed presidential candidate; the non-entity US Senator from New York; the failed First Lady whose health care proposal gave Republicans consummate control over Congress for the first time in 40 years; this Hillary Clinton said: “The Republican Party is imploding.”

Really. (Stop laughing).

Seriously, the GOP is going through Grand Old Growing pains, as President Trump made the signature issue, illegal immigration, a national concern for all, taking it out of the media spin which framed the issue as merely narrow-minded fear-mongering of radical right-wing extremists. Big Business, Cheap Labor Republicans are getting the shaft, and a new generation of America First conservatives will be taking their place. Orrin Hatch has intimated he will retire, for example, and Dean Heller won’t be far behind. Not imploding, the Republicans are redefining themselves as the party for American citizens.

In contrast, the Marxist Left has taken over the Democratic Party, with an obsession toward phasing out national differences and ushering in a globalist, communistic society where everyone is "equal”. Democrats are also obsessed with race and divisive identity politics. These stark movements toward the Left are sowing the seeds of self-dissolution within the Democratic Party. Furthermore, the DNC is  pushing harder than before for amnesty and mass migration. Ultimately, they want third-world dependents to become Democratic voters, who will demand more socialism and welfare, all while undermining this great country.

Ironically, this agenda is crushing the Democratic Party’s future. Voters reject mass migration and amnesty. They bear the costs of illegal immigration, which are overrunning every public sector in the country. Taxpayers won’t tolerate funding lawbreakers while their needs as overburdened citizens remain ignored.

One liberal-leaning Republican, Andrew Sullivan, has noticed this problem among left-of-center political parties. As a liberal-leaning political advocate, he wants a more robust center-left opposition to stop the conservative Trump onslaught overtaking the Republican Party. In his cold analysis of the Democratic Party’s singular failing on immigration—The Issue That Could Lose the Next Election for Democrats—he ruefully contends that the center-left will be left behind for the long-term because of their ongoing radical views on immigration. In striking fashion, he debunks Hillary Clinton’s hilarious assertion about the Republican Party.

First, Sullivan recognizes that popular outrage against illegal immigration and mass migration have galvanized populist conservative movements around the world. No surprise there: the average citizen will not tolerate their rights, sovereignty, and resources getting robbed by globalist interests who want wealth at everyone else’s expense. Sullivan tries to offer a defense for the center-left, whom he hopes to help change: “You would think that parties of the center-left would grapple with this existential threat to their political viability. And some have.”

Actually, they haven’t. Many center-left parties around the world have lost record numbers of seats and power in state and national legislatures. They have failed to bridge the divide between pragmatic policies and their radical bases. Many of their grassroots have even moved into the Green Party or other left-wing coalitions, while working-class “Labourites” (aka Reagan Democrats) have joined center-right coalitions, since conservatives champion national identity and individual economic self-interest. The global left’s implosion describes the United States’ Democratic Party (not the GOP). The Pelosi-Schumer-Perez DNC has not shifted to the changing consensus against illegal immigration.

Sullivan’s pro-left analysis contends that Obama tried to achieve immigration reform, bridging the Radical Left grassroots (amnesty) with the Democratic Political class (enforcement). LIE. Obama was no pragmatist on immigration. He falsely claimed higher deportations because he mislabeled illegals turned away at the border as deportations. He then bypassed Congress twice with executive amnesty orders. Obama laid the foundation for the Democratic Party’s radical stance on immigration, as opposed to trying to stop it.

Sullivan slams these stances from the Democratic Party’s regarding immigration:

1. They criticize enforcement of our immigration laws. They patently refuse to recognize illegal immigration as a problem. US Senator Dianne Feinstein threw a fit about ICE detaining a child following a surgery. Where was she when Kate Steinle was murdered?

2. Democrats treat illegal alien parents like heroes and victims, but ignore veterans and vulnerable American populations like America’s homeless and the mentally ill. President Trump is addressing the opioid crisis, one exacerbated by—you guessed it, illegal immigration, specifically through drug trafficking. Where was Obama? Where are the Democrats on this pandemic?

3.  Democrats treat illegal children with special privilege. The Democratic candidate for Governor of New Jersey declared on live television that illegal youth are as American as his own children. No. They. Are. Not. What about our kids? What about Drew Rosenberg, a California college student viciously murdered by an illegal?

4. The Democratic Party has doubled down so much on amnesty and non-enforcement, no one believes their lip-service to border security. Government’s main responsibility is to protect our rights, including life, viz. securing the citizenry from all threats, both foreign and domestic.

5. Sullivan’s last indictment against the Democratic Party is searing: "[They view] any kind of distinction between citizens and noncitizens [as] somehow racist.”

Really. It’s offensive, stupid, and just plain false. Sullivan even mocks his liberal friends for defining borders as “racist.” While the DNC is descending into self-parody, registered Democratic voters (many of whom are immigrants) have stopped sanctuary state proposals in blue states like Delaware and Maryland.

Their next votes may fall to Republican candidates!

Supposedly, the Democratic Party believes in expanding the power of the demos, does it not? However, how do they plan on carrying out that basic mission if they undermine the very power of the people, i.e. the voter franchise, which requires a nation defined by laws, borders, and a common defense. What's next, will the Democratic Party denounce being American as racist, too?

This is how far left the Democratic Party has become, and if they don't get with the program and remember that they are a political party operating within the United States, their implosion will be immediate and irreversible.

Father Accused Of Killing 3 Sons: Victim of Guilt or Mind-Control?

This is one of the saddest cases I have heard about yet.

A father who had lost his own family, then his wife, then broke up with his live-in girlfriend after that, stabbed his three sons.

One source informs me that these psychotic murders are a result of immigrants--and illegal aliens--getting targeted, brainwashed, then instructed to do great evil within the Los Angeles area.

I am not sure what to think of these stats yet, but I will be looking into the mind-control aspect of this.

However, the background of this individual--Luiz Fuentes--suggests serious psychological disturbances.

From the Los Angeles Times:

Child protection workers knew that pushing Luiz Fuentes to face his
demons would be hard.

"Father feels that counseling will not be beneficial to him
because it will force him to remember when all he wants is to forget,"
county caseworkers told the court in September 2010, shortly after they
determined that Fuentes had badly bruised his son Luis, then 5, by beating him
with a belt.

Wow.

The beatings were more frequent than most realized at the time.

"The potential for father to lose control again is present and
likely," the caseworkers continued.

Five years later, Fuentes was charged with fatally stabbing Luis and the
boy's two younger brothers in the back seat of the family's car.

The deaths have prompted questions about whether the county could have
done more to prevent the violence.

They needed to have the father institutionalized. He was in deep pain and acted out on this grief in a terrible manner. He was mentally unstable, and clearly a danger to others.

The Times petitioned the court to release records about Fuentes. This
month Michael Levanas, the presiding judge of Los Angeles County's Juvenile
Court, ordered the release of 696 pages of records.

...

They document grief and anxiety that consumed Fuentes.

Fuentes was 5 when his father was slain. His mother died when he was
17, leaving him to feed and care for his three younger siblings, caseworkers
wrote.

The records also show the challenges faced by caseworkers who struggled
to pull out the truth during repeated visits to the home.

Repeated visits? Wow! Who is paying for this? How are these methods in keeping with best practices for a strong culture and a thriving society? The government institutions in Los Angeles County can't even balance the yearly budget with costly overruns and demands for higher taxes.

Beginning in 2010, anonymous callers contacted the county's child abuse
hotline alleging that the father was abusing the boys. The county Department of
Children and Family Services verified only one accusation — the report of the
2010 belt beating — which led it to supervise the family for a year.

Anonymous calls?

Harassment from government agencies, perhaps?

By 2010, when caseworkers investigated the belt beating, Fuentes'
girlfriend, Josefina Barrales, agreed with their assessment that counseling was
urgently needed because he had become "anxious, nervous and
depressed."

Sure, because he was going to lose his children ... because he was beating them.

This is one of the hardest lessons for parents to learn. They cannot give their children what they want them to have. They can only give their children what they have. Fuentes was clearly damaged, from the abuse and neglected he had suffered as a child, to the rampant and overwhelming pressures which had consumed him as an adult and a father.

I had heard another story about a woman who had tried to kill her own child. She actually loved her baby, but she was overcome with guilt. Why? She had stepped out on her husband and had an affair.

That need for punishment, for consequence for our guilt is very strong. Conscience within the human soul cannot be silenced or assuaged without clear payment.

Hence the need for the Cross. Otherwise, we punish ourselves and others. In the case of Fuentes, he was punishing his kids, and then by killing them he punished himself.

In the first court proceedings, he kept saying "I'm a loser. I'm a loser."

Reflection

I am still learning about this purported talk about mind control afflicting immigration populations in the Los Angeles area.

There is not enough evidence on this case to suggest some form of mind control. This man was grief-stricken and did not respond to these tragedies with the truth.

I conclude that this man was convinced that he had done something wrong in his childhood, that he was hounded by a specter of condemnation, which in turn lead to guilt, shame, and ultimately acts of murder.

LA Leftists Getting Triggered: "Some People Just Won't Quit"

Wow!

I had no idea that we are wearing out that left.

The LA city snowflakes have no idea what they are up against.

Do they really think that they are going to shame and silence conservatives?

Do they really believe that Trump supporters are just going to go away?

NOPE!

God, that asshat Arthur Schaper is there? Some people just won't quit

"Some people don't quit!"

NOPE!

No way!

Trump all the way!

The Founding of our Founding Charter: The Gospel

Most of us are taught that the Framers of the Constitution, the Founding Fathers were atheists, deists, that they despised godly references and rejected Divine Providence.

True, there were a handful of deists: Thomas Jefferson and Ben Franklin.

But the record actually affirms that many of the leading Constitutional lights for our country's founding were Christians.

The research from CBN News outlines the Biblical, Judeo-Christian roots of our country and our culture

The Spiritual Mission of America's Founding Fathers

Here are some key remarks from this study:

Thus, the Biblical foundation devised by America’s Founders achieved “unprecedented stability, prosperity, and liberty produced by the institutions and policies based on concepts, such as God-given inalienable rights, individualism, limited government, full republicanism, separation of powers, and an educated and virtuous citizenry.” (3) Where do you suppose the Founders happened upon these unique ideas?

The point is "God-given."

Dr. Daniel L. Dreisbach writes, “The first English settlers in New England were engaged in building Bible commonwealths; accordingly, they looked to the Bible in establishing political and legal institutions. The Bible was often the explicit basis of early colonial codes, and colonial judges frequently cited Scripture as legal authority. And the work of these legal craftsmen gives evidence that they were well acquainted with the Bible. (4)

The Bible represented, established the values of this country.

Following an extensive survey of American political literature from 1760 to 1805, political scientist Donald S. Lutz reported that the Bible was “referenced more frequently than any European writer or even any European school of thought, such as the Enlightenment or Whig intellectual traditions. Indeed the Bible accounted for about one-third of all citations in his sample. According to Lutz, ‘Deuteronomy is the most frequently cited book, followed by Montesquieu’s The Spirit of the Laws’.” (5)

BAM!

We are very much a Judeo-Christian culture and a Christian-based country.

Os Guinness explains the defect in the underpinnings of Secularism:

“Freedom requires a framework of order, which means restraint, yet the only restraint proper to freedom is self-restraint, which freedom undermines.

Individuals must make the choice to be free, and to say no to enslaving impulses within oneself.

The curb on sin in the flesh cannot be the state.

It has to be the grace of God

America’s Founders believed that they were on a spiritual mission as they deposited Christianity in the New World. For two and a half centuries, orchestrated by the Divine, they stoked “virtue” as the way to establish righteousness in the public square. Righteousness is the key component of freedom.

Final Reflection

Contrary to the lies of the secular left, the United States is a country founded on Judeo-Christian values. This country is indeed a Christian country, in the sense that it is founded on Biblical values.

Not on Islamic or Hindu values.

The notion that every human being has value and deserves respect is a Biblical revelation. Why would we back away from this reverential truth?

Letter to the Editor: "You're Totally Out of Touch With Reality"

I just received another heated letter, also challenging my argument that the Democratic Party is imploding.

I have never received two negative letters in a row for one of my articles on Townhall.com

The orthography and formatting errors were out of my control, and there was simply no time to correct all of them

-------------------------------------------------

Hello Mr. Schaper !   

I just read y our latest post at downhill.com .  I'm sorry , but you're totally out of touch with reality .  It's AMERICA which is currently imploding , thanks to  Donald Trump, the most   corrupt and incompetent president in U.S. history .    The democratic are not even remotely close to being communists , and anyone who thinks there's anything  even remotely close to  "Marxist " and communist about them  is totally deluded .  Like a typical American conservative,  you don't even know  what socialism, Marxism and communism are . If you did,  you wouldn't label anyone  in the democratic party communist, even Bernie Sanders, w ho is a  Social Democrat, not a  socialist . 

    The Republican party  is no longer conservative  . Supposedly, conservatism means  wanting to preserve the best of the past .  But the GOP wants to go back to the WORST of the past, and then some. 

The late  Barry Goldwater called himself a conservative, but by today;s looney  political standards, he would be considered a far left liberal  !   The GOP is regressive, not conservative .  It has been hijacked 

by  greedy, ruthless and power-hungry  billionaire  businessmen such as the Koch brothers ,  as well as the  extremist Christian loonies of the religious right .  It snow fascist and theocratic , and should change its name to "The theocratic party ". 

 This is why  the repugnicans ( what I prefer to call them,)  were able somehow to elect Donald Trump,  the most corrupt  businessman in America  and a clueless buffoon with absolutely no qualifications to be president .  Any ordinary Americans who think   Trump and the GOP are for them  and will "make America great again " is  unbelievably foolish, and Trump managed to con millions of Americans into voting against their own interests nearly one year ago .  Let's face it ; the only people in America who stand to benefit from a Trump presidency are rich, white, heterosexual Christian males .  ( And believe me, quite a few of those rich heterosexual Christian males are closeted gay men ! ) .  

But if you are poor, middle class,  a woman ,  unemployed and struggling to find work,  working but struggling to make enough to get by ,  have a disability which prevents you from working ,  black, Hispanic, a woman,  gay or transgender ,  a Muslim,  not a Christian or an atheist or agnostic ,  etc , you are up the creek without a paddle !  

Yes, Hillary Clinton would not have been a perfect president by any means, but she is infinitely better qualified to be president  , has all the knowledge, experience  ,  skill  and  level-headedness  which Trump lacks  .

And remember -she won the election by three million votes !    But    the GOP engaged in its usual corrupt election   skullduggery -  suppression of minority votes, gerrymandering,  abuse of our long  obsolete Electoral college etc .  America blew it last November .  It lost the best  qualified  candidate ever and elected  a total nincompoop president .   Trump should never even have been allowed to run for the presidency .

But the GOP had no one to run who is much better . 

 Consider Donald Trump -  a narcissistic sociopath and pathological liar .   Boorish, crass, crude ,  poorly educated despite his wealth .  ignorant  ,not at all well read ,  obnoxious ,  rude ,  loud-mouthed , greedy, selfish . self-centered ,  immature ,  childish ,  whining  ,  foolish , stupid ,  devoid of  compassion , decency ,  integrity , honesty ,  intellect ,  totally unprincipled, amoral ,  petty ,  a  cheater in business , conniving ,  pompous ,  and a ruthless demagogue who tells people what they want to hear in order to  win support and votes .  Is Trump religious ?  Certainly . He worships himself as  god .

Is he a genuine Christian ? Are you kidding ?   Is his behavior and conduct in any way Christian ?   ROFLOL !!!   He pretends to be a Christian in order to make himself look good in the eyes of  America's Christians and their leaders .  

      Trump family values :   He's been married three times, divorced twice and openly boasts  about his marital infidelities .  He has an enormous libido   yet has zero control over it .   He's  a  lecherous  piece of filth .

Trump thinks his money, fame and power give him the right to fondle and grope any woman he finds attractive , and he constantly says disgustingly vile things about women, attractive or unattractive .

Many women have accused him of  gross sexual harassment .  The conservative outrage over similar  conduct   by Harvey Weinstein is  disgustingly hypocritical .  At least the Democrats and liberal celebrities condemned him in no uncertain terms .  But where was the conservative outrage over  Trump's vile treatment of women ? The silence has been deafening .   But Weinstein is a private citizen . Trump is president of the United States and presidents are supposed to set a good example for the American people .  

 How can we expect Trump to be a good an honest president  with his horrendous   track record as a businessman and entrepreneur ?   All his bankruptcies,  thousands of lawsuits against him, his bogus 

"Trump university " for which he settled for millions of dollars  etc ?   He has run every business he has managed over the years into the ground .  He is notorious in the construction industry for  failing to pay  his

contractors and employees .  I've barely scratched the surface of the countless reasons why Trump is totally unfit to be president and his countless crimes and misdeeds .  

    His V.P. Mile Pence is even worse .  Pence is a crazed evangelical Christian fanatic  who  is the worst kind of politician - a theocrat .   He is a vicious anti-gay bigot who  has done everything  in his power over the years to deny rights to gay Americans and even persecute them .   The thought of this  evil monster as president  should Trump be removed from office should terrify anyone who is not an idiot .

    His cabinet, advisors and staff are the worst people anyone could want in a  presidential administration .  A nauseating mix of  Christian fanatics,  white supremacists  and   cabinet members who are totally unqualified  for  their jobs and got them because are billionaires who made generous contributions to his campaign .    A  horrible bunch of idiots, bigots  and opportunists .   America is now  run by  an oligarchy, a kleptocracy  and  an idiocracy .  

    Trump social and economic policies are  both idiotic and  extremely dangerous .  His proposed plan to  deport  DACA people  for example.   These people   are hard-working   , honest , productive  and  not criminals  .   Most don't even speak their parent's Spanish .   To try to deport  them would waste billions of dollars ,  uproot families ,  destroy businesses   and do absolutely nothing to make America   saferin any way .  These DACA babies contribute billions of dollars to the U.S. economy every year .  

    But Trump  just panders to all the xenophobic bigots in America .   The risk of illegal aliens to people's lives has been wildly exaggerated .   If you are a white American-born citizen, you are far more likely to  be murdered by a white American thug  than by an illegal alien .   The same with American Muslims.  The overwhelming majority are peaceful and law-abiding, and contribute billions to the U.S. economy .

Your chances of being killed by a Muslim in America are almost non-existent .   Building a wall would only waste billions and do nothing to make America safer .  Banning Muslims from entering America has done nothing  but keep innocent Muslims from entering America on legitimate business.

 I could go on and on, Mr. Schaper,  but  why bother ?    Donald Trump and his criminal cronies are the greatest threat to freedom , progress and security  in America .   If they are not all removed from  office soon , I shudder to think what will happen to America and the world . And so do millions of other Americans who are not stupid enough to  be fooled by  Trump and the Republicans .

     Respectfully, Robert Berger, New Rochelle, NY .

Final Reflection

The fact that President Trump drives liberals like this guy insane makes it all the more worth our while that he is our President.

I wrote back to Berger:

A few things.

1. You spelled "Hillary" wrong in your subject line.

2. The litany of attacks on Trump as narcissistic are not supported by any clear facts.

3. You need to fix the code in your email service. The sentences and paragraphs were all broken and out of place.

4. Last of all--deal with it!

Trump is your President, and he is Making America Great Again!

You are reading this from the words of a Non-Trumper who had supported and voted for someone else up to the June 2016 primary.

He refused me enthusiastic support on Election Day.

God Bless Donald Trump--the fact that he has triggered liberals like you is another reason I am so happy that He is Our--yes, OUR!--President!

The Deep State Strikes Back? Dahle's Chief of Staff Another Government CONSULTANT!

Well Well Well.

We have another well-connected chief of staff in the Assembly minority leader's office.

Joshua Cook, Chief of Staff
Minority Leader Brian Dahle

His name is Joshua Cook.

So, once again we have proof that the new boss in the California Republican Caucus is not much better than the old boss.  The one difference is that Dahle has not betrayed his caucus, his party, or the state ... yet.

I have shared, however, what a negative experience I had confronting him about two weeks ago at the Republican Party Convention.

Here's my brief confrontation with him at the Marriott Hotel restaurant.

So, what do we know about this Joshua Cook fellow?

He runs a consulting firm, just like RINO Cap and Traitor Joe Justin!

Here's more info:

He makes big money and is an adjunct professor for USC.

He's a chief of staff with his own consulting firm.

Here's more information about his wife, who also serves as a consultant:

Robinette Cook - President

Robinette Scott Cook is the President of Cook Communications and Government Affairs and directs the communications and coalition building efforts on behalf of Cook clients.  Robin has more than 20 years experience working in politics, government and communications. 

Appointed by Governor Pete Wilson in 1993, the California State Senate confirmed Cook by a vote of 38-0 as a member of the California Student Aid Commission.  The Commission serves as the principal state agency responsible for administering financial aid programs for students attending public and private universities, colleges, and vocational schools in California.   

So, Husband Joshua removes conflict of interest because he is no longer the President?

I don't think so. Look how Robinette had a government job way back in the day. I wonder how many contacts--and contracts--she was able to scoop up for her communications firm through her work as a governing board member.

And information about Joshua:

Josh Cook is a seasoned government affairs and communications consultant with over 20 years of experience solving complex political problems in California and Nevada. 

His clients have included Senators, Assembly Members, Members of Congress, homebuilders, local candidates, political action committees, advocacy groups, ballot measures, law firms, local governments, businesses, cities, and Indian tribes.  

What?!

Are we anywhere closer to draining the swamp in Sacramento when we have another well-connected consultant type working in Sacramento?

Or can we expect that we will finally get some coordination and leadership that will reflect the needs, the interests of the overburdened California voters and taxpayers.

Jeff the Flake Runs and Hides

The Arizona Republic published this statement regarding US Senator Jeff Flake's decision to retire from the US Senate:

Condemning the nastiness of Republican politics in the era of President Donald Trump, Sen. Jeff Flake on Tuesday announced he will serve out the remainder of his term but will not seek re-election in 2018.

The bombshell, which Flake, R-Ariz., delivered Tuesday afternoon on the Senate floor, will further roil Republican hopes of keeping the party's 52-seat Senate majority in the midterm elections of Trump's first term, when the president's party historically loses seats in Congress.

Honestly, it's not much of a bombshell as much as it's a cause for celebration.

This US Senator wants to tout his conservative credentials.

Yet he was dishonest with Arizona voters when he joined with Democrat to pass a grand amnesty, aka corrupt bargain against the best interests of Arizona voters as well as the country.

He has no business claiming the mantle of contrarian Barry Goldwater, first of all because McCain replaced Goldwater in 1986, but also because the principled libertarianism of the 1964 Presidential candidate has not found a home within Flake's voting record.

The anti-Trump sentiment of the elitist Flake is so out of step with the voters in his state, that he had no choice but to step down or face a massive beat-down in the August primary next year,

It also likely will upend the race for Flake's seat. Flake, who is among the Senate's more prominent critics of Trump, had been struggling in the polls.

He told The Arizona Republic ahead of his announcement that he had become convinced "there may not be a place for a Republican like me in the current Republican climate or the current Republican Party."

The current Republican Party has been opposed to amnesty, open borders, and mass migration for decades. The GOP hasn't gone anywhere. Flake has fled from the ground principles on which he had run for office in 2012.

I am glad to see him go!

Is America Getting More Conservative?

I loved this article so much, I just had to read it for myself.

And I had to share my glowing comments to celebrate these wonderful trends.

5 Reasons Why America Is About To Become A Conservative Country

By Daniel Lang via SHTFplan.com,

For generations, we’ve seen the political landscape in this country teeter back and forth between the Left and the Right. Usually about every 8 years or so, whichever political party is dominating Congress, the Executive Branch, and the state legislatures, is kicked out by voters and replaced with the other political party.

However, there’s something very different going on this time around. Donald Trump’s ascent to the oval office represents a major shift in our society and culture, and I’m not talking about the intermittent shuffle of politicians that we see every few years. Instead, the pendulum is about to swing very hard to the right.

This second paragraph grants me greater hope about Election 2018. We have seen a paradigm shift in American politics like never before.

The major media conglomerates, who had been propping up the Democratic Party and their left-wing agendas are failing fast. Hollywood is dying on the vine, too.

Of course, I don't want to take away from the findings and insights of this incredible article, either

I think that the political landscape in America is going to be drifting towards conservatism for the next 20-40 years. Though it may not be identical to what we view as conservative today, and it certainly won’t be the phony neoconservatism that dominated the past, it will be right-wing nonetheless. Here’s why:

I think that this is wonderful news! Excellent news!

Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher could have only dreamed of such a paradigm shift in their time. I like the point that neoconservatism is not coming back--like the alt-right, it is a misnomer movement which actually incorporates the nation-building corporatism of the Left.

George W. Bush was indeed a neoconservative in this respect, as is Bill Kristol and even Charles Krauthammer. Their cultural policies have been predominately liberal, but they are convinced that an aggressive intervention into other countries will solve the ills of our world and country here.

Not true. I still remember George W. Bush's second inaugural address in January, 2005. He declared that the security of our democracy here depended on the expansion of democracy elsewhere.

I used to believe that. Now I no longer accept that view. Nation-building requires more than building buildings. It depends on a great deal more than the basic apparatus of democratic elections.

Oh, and W., we are not a democracy here in the United States. We are a Republic. Thanks.

Now, we can expect that the United States is going to trend more conservative for the next 40 years?

1. THE SUPREME COURT IS ABOUT TO CHANGE

President Trump has already chosen one Supreme Court justice, and there’s a good chance that he’s going to wind up choosing several more (much to the dismay of the Left). Because of their advanced age, we may see three more Supreme Court justices retire or die over the next four to eight years, two of whom lean to the left.

If Trump lasts two terms, we’re definitely going to see a Supreme Court that is dominated by conservatives for the next 20-30 years. So even when liberals take back Congress and the presidency on occasion, many of their most radical ideas won’t be able to take hold for many years.

2. IMMIGRATION IS GOING TO DECLINE

The percentage of the population that is foreign born hasn’t been this high since the early 1900’s, and most of those immigrants are liberal. That’s why our loose borders, combined with The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, have probably done more to bolster the ranks of the Left than any other law.

Bingo! Someone give this man a cookie!

That's why the Democratic Party has been doubling-down on stupid and delusional when it comes to illegal immigration. Their only long-term chances for survival or more illegal aliens and low-skilled immigrants. They cannot sustain or survive as a political party otherwise, since they depend on dependent votes, not opportunity makers who thrive and succeed.

But just as our nation’s political landscape tends to swing back and forth between the Left and the Right, so to does number of immigrants in America. In the short term, we can expect people like Trump to restrict the border and maybe pass laws that will decrease immigration to some degree.

This country needs enforcement, not more legislation. The President can continue apace with enforcement, whether Congress paces legislation or not. He has already rounded up and deported illegal aliens in the most entrenched of sanctuary cities. There is nothing that these progressive leftists can do to keep their chokehold on these urban ghettos.

But there’s a long term trend to consider as well, because the election of Trump likely represents a turning point for our society. Considering how crucial his immigration stance was to his victory, it’s clear that a growing number of Americans want the border tightened up, and the number of immigrants moving here to decrease. And rest assured that in the near future, there will be more conservatives voting for politicians who will try to lower immigration rates, because…

Even some Democrats are demanding a limit to legal immigration, specifically when it comes to work visas for low-skilled labor. I kid you not!

3. THE NEXT GENERATION IS INCREDIBLY CONSERVATIVE

Over the years we’ve seen each generation of Americans become a little more liberal than the last, but that’s about to change. According to a study from last year, Generation Z, which represents kids born after the year 2000, is the most conservative generation since World War Two. To give you an idea of just how right-wing the next generation is, when asked if they are “quite conservative,” 14% of teenagers say they are, compared to just 2% of Millennials. That’s a mind boggling shift, from one generation to the next.

This news warms my heart the most.

As a Trump supporter in Los Angeles County, I meet some Trump supporters in Downtown LA.

One notable resident was 16 year-old Justin TrejeGue, for example:

This high school senior Justin Mora:

These two young men, and a growing number of young people with them, are strikingly, refreshingly conservative.

They have lived through the hard times of 9-11 and the housing crises during their formative years. They experienced the devastating Obama Administration, in which secular progressive puritans shoved their anti-American arrogance down the throats of the younger generations.

They are tired of it. They are rebelling against liberalism. They are also enjoying the victories and opportunities brought by conservatism.

Besides, illegal immigration hurts young people as well as other American demographics.

4. LIBERAL BIRTH RATES ARE DECLINING

The Left is about to pay a huge price for denigrating the family and traditional gender roles for so many years. Because liberal women tend to be more career minded and wait longer to have children, they often have fewer kids over the course of their lives. That’s why liberal states always have lower birth rates than conservative states.

BAM!

Yes, social conservatism is necessary, not marginal or arbitrary.

The sexual anarchy and indiscriminate license pushed by the Democratic Party, abject liberals, and progressive leftists has ended up decimating their numbers.

Christians, populists, and nationalists believe in natural marriage, biological recognition of gender, and the sanctity of life.

They will continue to have children, and they will replace the liberal cohorts which are dying out of their own free, misguided will.

All of the states with a birth rate of of 60 or less per 1000 people are liberal, and all of the states with a birth rate of 70 or more per 1000 people are conservative. That may not sound drastic, but consider that these states still have a sizeable mix of conservatives and liberals. Even the most liberal states have millions of conservative residents and vice versa, which offsets the results. If ideology is really driving birth rates, then liberals are probably having very very few children. They’re probably not reaching the minimum replacement rate of 2.1 children per mother.

This is quite so. States like Illinois are having a net negative migration, too. Not just lack of births, but migration is destroying these states. Contrary to the arguments from political pundits, blue-to-red state migration is not making those red states bluer.

Not at all.

When you consider how many values kids learn from their parents and carry into adulthood, it’s obvious that the Left has a serious demographic problem. The only way they’ve been able to create more liberals, is through immigration and through indoctrination in the school system. Unfortunately for the Left, they’re not going to have a stranglehold on our schools for much longer either.

Immigration will be curtailed, and the school systems are falling apart as parents take more control of their kids' education through homeschooling. Colleges are losing enrollment, and they will face their own crisis--just like the housing crisis of 2008-2009.

Speaking of colleges going down the tubes ...

5. LEFTIST ACADEMIA IS IN SERIOUS TROUBLE

From Kindergarten to college, our schools are breeding grounds for liberal ideas. That’s become abundantly clear in recent years, as we’ve seen the horrifying rise of political correctness and social justice beliefs on college campuses. These institutions are little more than indoctrination centers for the Left.

One of the most glaring examples of this deals with the transgender and LGBT movements breaking into public schools. Little kids are being taught that they are born one gender, but that they can become another gender just by what they think? Really? This is child abuse.

I have young parents who contact me, asking for help how to deal with Boards of Trustees running school systems, teaching young people to feel sorry for themselves because they are not white. School districts are teaching children to hate President Trump just because he is white, male, wealthy, etc.

This is disgusting. Instead of educating youth, liberals have turned schools into indoctrination factors to undermine out country and our culture. Oh, and the kids can't read.

But this isn’t going to go on for much longer. We have a whole generation of kids who were buried in over a trillion dollars worth of debt, just so they could get worthless liberal arts degrees that won’t ever help them get a job. They paid tens of thousands of dollars to be indoctrinated by liberal professors, before going back home to live with their parents.

In other words, these young college graduates realize that they got sold a bill of goods, with nothing to show for it but grievance and debt. They have gotten mugged by reality, and they need to learn some street skills to protect themselves and overcome the harsh facts of this world.

All of that theory and fantasy shoved down their throats, with the tens of thousands of dollars attached as a price tag, has woken then out of the dogmatic slumbers of subtle socialism.

That’s why student loans constitute a bubble in our economy, and once it pops, colleges are going to have to cut back on many classes that don’t actually increase the earning power of students. Coincidentally, the fields of study that harbor the most liberal professors, are the ones that don’t help most students get jobs, like the arts, humanities, liberal arts, gender studies, etc. Someday soon, colleges are going to be forced to trim the fat, and many of these Marxist professors and diversity administrators are going to get the axe. Their positions are incredibly superfluous.

I just mentioned that colleges are on the brink of their "housing" crisis. Watch the bubble burst, and homeless, unemployed academics wander our streets as the new, over-educated downtrodden. That won't be pretty, I can tell you. For the last two decades, these arrogant academics have pushed for mandatory minimum wage hikes, regulatory burdens untrammeled, Cap and Trade, etc.

Now they will walk into the real world, where the states and local governments rejected their advice entirely, or worse have embraced the ideas completely and have replaced the viable workforce with robots.

As for the leftists public schools, let’s not forget that the number of kids being homeschooled is growing rapidly, and most of their parents are conservatives. They’re raising a new generation that isn’t going to be brainwashed by government run schools.

And let’s not forget that the mainstream media, which has been largely wed to the left, is dying. So basically, every institution that the Left uses to teach its ideas, from the media to academia, is slowly crumbling away.

WINNING!

Pulitzer-Prize winning cartoonist Michael Ramirez and I discussed the need for conservatives to March onto the Institutions and break the choke-hold of cultural Marxism. Some conservatives charged that they needed to take over these pillars of American culture.

What is happening instead is that these desiccated institutions are falling apart under the weight of left-wing lies and deceit, and conservative alternatives have overtaken them and become mainstream.

In summation, everything liberals have relied on to bolster their ranks, propagate their ideas, and pass their laws, are failing. So there shouldn’t be any doubt. Over the next few decades, America is going to become a very conservative place.

And I am loving every minute of it.

Final Reflection

This analysis was thorough and engaging, and quite promising. I loved the examples provided and the projections offered. They are based no facts and trends, rather than political bonhomie meant to make partisans feel good about themselves.

The part about conservatives replacing liberals in any given population is borne out not just in the United States, but also in Europe. The Alternative for Germany won a record number of seats this year, and Angela Merkel's Christian Democrats had the worst showing since the 1940s. Christians and cultural conservatives in general are having more children, and they will begin voting in leaders who reflect their pro-Germany values. The same holds true in France and Great Britain!

Yes indeed, America is on track to not only become more conservative, but to see possibly a long-term dominance of center-right political victories, even if the Democratic Party does not complete implode. Remember that the Labour Party on Tony Blair ended up adopting free market reforms and values. The Tory Resurgence in 2010 did not immediately foretell a conservative resurgence as expected. They "conservatives" embraced homosexual destruction of marriage and political correctness regarding Islam. The latest government following a snap election has brought the very conservative Union Democrats into a government coalition with Theresa May's Tories.

The United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union, and they expect the party leaders to comply or get sacked at the next election. More conservatives are winning at the local and state level not just in the United States but all around the country.

Once again, even though the general political punditry assumes that the opposition party from the President will gain seats in 2018, the conservative base has grown stronger, more active, and larger. They establishment RINOs have been kicked out, and more slow-to-act Republicans are retiring. The widespread voting public wants to the Trump promises kept, enacted, and enforced.

They will not bow out and allow Democrats into Congress, especially when primary challenges--or even the threat of a challenge--has scared off or put away establishment, pro-cronyism, pro-open borders officials. Election 2018 will be a pro-American takeover of DC.

Yes, and it will be more conservative.
