Thomas Jefferson. Reply Jim K, Austin 11/30/16 Reply Mike, Norwalk 11/30/16 Reply Mike, Norwalk 11/30/16 Patrons of the occupying statist theocracy infesting this land religiously support what they perceive as good intentions (a society of dole slaves). To that, the more the concentrated the power, the greater the focus to their gods. 1Reply E Archer, NYC 11/30/16 These presidential elections are a prime example of Americans not knowing what they are voting for. Ask a voter what they want from the president -- 9 times out of 10 it is to do what a president was never authorized or empowered to do. Washington DC draws more and more power to itself, power it 'assumes' with little to no check from the People. And yet that was Hillary's and even Trump's message -- more government, maybe less regulations, but not the renunciation of the assumption of power. Both candidates are nationalist populist -- just like Hitler was. And both will require 'regulation' by the People. SaveOk2 SaveOk2 View CommentsClick to view or comment.
