The chief danger that confronts the coming century will be religion without the Holy Ghost,
Christianity without Christ, forgiveness without repentance, salvation without regeneration,
politics without God, heaven without hell.
William Booth
“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.”
― William Saroyan
The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of the blessings. The inherent blessing of socialism is the equal sharing of misery. -- Winston Churchill
Ignorance is not an opinion, liberals
I believe in Christianity as I believe the sun has risen; not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else. C. S. Lewis
if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

O.K., Ed — how’zis?
John Bolton. Conservative, butt-kickin, no-nonsense, independent-minded, patriotic American. Been around since a US dollar was worth nearly 50 cents. Served as US ambassador to the UN as a recess appointee by Shrub II. Left the post when the Senate made grumbling noises about not confirming him on a permanent basis for his unrelenting common sense approach to world affairs.
He is a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, a senior advisor for Freedom Capital Investment Management, a FoxNews analyst/commentator, and a stand-up dude whose idea of handling pipsqueaks such as Kadaffy Duck, Sodom Insane, and BatEar al Asswipe is to write their names down on a piece of tissue paper, strike a bold line through them, and then use the paper for what it was originally intended.
My kinda guy.
Bolton is experienced, having been around politics since basically forever in D.C. but somehow managed to remain uncontaminated by the insidious bacterium in the water which converts otherwise decent public servants into greedy, self-serving partisan hacks. He regularly touches base with and is involved in studies with several think tanks and policy institutes, including the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs, the NRA, the US Commission on International Religious Freedom, the Council for National Policy, and the Gatestone Institute.
Liberals find him devious and dangerous for his refusal to play by the rules they have consecrated, including coverup, spin, lie, deny, and accuse, preferring instead to simply go with the truth up front and let the chips fall where they will.
Only possible drawback is that he, like most high muckity-mucks in D.C. these days, is a lawyer. But even with that stench and stigma on him, he regularly comes across as the exception rather than the rule and is completely unafraid to call a spade a spade, a liar a liar, and a petty dictator an ——-.

Not necessarily the GOP. The article I read (rather lengthy) poses fear and self-preservation by the entrenched power brokers could result in an “assassination” attempt.
Here are the first 5 paragraphs:
“They will kill him before they let him be president. It could be a Republican or a Democrat that instigates the shutting up of Trump.
Don’t be surprised if Trump has an accident. Some people are getting very nervous: Barack Obama, Valerie Jarrett, Eric Holder, Hillary Clinton and Jon Corzine, to name just a few.
It’s about the unholy dynamics between big government, big business, and big media. They all benefit by the billions of dollars from this partnership, and it’s in all of their interests to protect one another. It’s one for all and all for one. It’s a heck of a filthy relationship that makes everyone filthy rich, everyone except the American people. We get ripped off. We’re the patsies. But for once, the powerful socialist cabal and the corrupt crony capitalists are scared. The over-the-top reaction to Trump by politicians of both parties, the media, and the biggest corporations of America has been so swift and insanely angry that it suggests they are all threatened and frightened.
Donald Trump can self-fund. No matter how much they say to the contrary, the media, business, and political elite understand that Trump is no joke. He could actually win and upset their nice cozy apple cart.
It’s no coincidence that everyone has gotten together to destroy The Donald. It’s because most of the other politicians are part of the a good old boys club. They talk big, but they won’t change a thing. They are all beholden to big-money donors. They are all owned by lobbyists, unions, lawyers, gigantic environmental organizations, and multinational corporations – like Big Pharmacy or Big Oil. Or they are owned lock, stock, and barrel by foreigners like George Soros owns Obama or foreign governments own Hillary and their Clinton Foundation donations.”
Bennett has disclaimed authorship of the article, but it says several things a lotta people believe.

A fluke in the system got Trump the nomination, just like a fluke got Bill Clinton elected for his first term.

And as long as you’re not the political, religious or social opposition/minority, you’re probably fine.
But the fact remains, civil liberties and freedom of the press and political opposition in Russia, are deplorable. And one of of major Presidential candidates can’t stop telegraphing his man crush on the Russian “strongman”. So why is refraining from nation building a good thing [to which I agree], but colonizing a parcel of foreign land to rape the resources, likewise a good thing? Both positions of Trump. Of course, Trumps not sharp enough to realize that his praise of Saddam Hussein refutes one of the key neocon excuses of invading Iraq….to which he has taken 3 to 4 different positions on.

I found the media coverage of Johnson’s gaffe unbelievably overblown given two point’s: the U.S. does’t have a policy on Aleppo, it has a policy on Syria, so the question was misleading to being with, and secondly……Trump has made Iranian influence a staple in his rhetoric against Obama’s policies and actions [real or perceived] regarding Iraq. Johnson has not done likewise regarding Syria, other than to argue for non-intervention there.
