Thread: Will you still support Justin as an Independent?

  1. #31
    Haha thank you. I was a tad worried coming back here. Most of my political discourse (such as it is) over the past couple of years has been on the comments section of the Yahoo news app. If you've not had the pleasure I'd avoid reading it. Most of the time the commentary is so ignorant it's literally impossible to discern what the opinion even is, let alone whether you agree with it or not!

    I think I lose an IQ point for every comment I read there. God help us.
    Be careful when you pry my gun from my cold dead hands, the barrel will be hot.

    Amash electorally could not win and if he did his open border immigration policies will ensure he would be the final nail in the coffin for a limited government party candidate to get elected in the future.

    That would pull most votes away from the Democrats and a small minority of NeverTrumpers in the Republican party. It would ensure a Trump Presidency so I suppose it really does not matter what Amash does.

    Well, I like the fact that we have a President who stands up against the military industrial complex for a change.

    Let's say Ron Paul is a 10 on foreign policy. Trump is still an 8. He still wants to bring our troops home, he thinks all the wars we are in were a waste of money. The difference is that Ron Paul wants to pull the troops out immediately whereas Trump wants to do it more strategically, and defeat ISIS first - we created ISIS, so it isn't totally unfair to ask us to get rid of that annoyance over there.

    We had 16,000 troops in Afghanistan when Trump took office, now we are down to 9,000 and Trump is not done yet. He has also decreased our military presence in Syria. He has more work to do to bring more troops home, and that is all in his plans.

    Hillary is a 1 or a 2 on foreign policy. The military industrial complex is a 1 on foreign policy on a scale of 10. I'll take an 8 over a 1 or 2 any day of the week.

    Then we got a really good tax break, we got significant decreases in regulations and bureaucracy. With Hillary we would have seen tax increases and more government employees and more bureaucracy.

    Then we have the fact that every single day, Trump eats the mainstream media for lunch - the propaganda arm is really the biggest enemy of the people, and Trump is helping destroy them.

    If your idea of what is "better" than Hillary is Ron Paul, and nothing but Ron Paul, then you have a very skewed view on what preferences are and how life works.

    Do I think Mitt Romney would be better than Hillary? No. How about McCain? $#@! no. John Kerry? Bush? $#@! to the no.. I know what you are getting at with the whole "they are all the same" thing.. and 99% of politicians are the same.

    Trump is a million times better than Hillary, though. Sorry you can't see that.

    Gettingg rid of ISIS was supposed to be a gesture of good faith, since ISIS was designed and created to go after our enemies in the middle east and fuel arms races that make a lot of profits.

    Trump vs Hilary was the least important election in history, but Trump vs Biden might be even less important.

    Stay tuned for further developments.

    It's because I am counting his Syrian withdrawal, his negotiations to withdraw from Afghanistan and and his fight back in the trade wars among many other things you aren't.

    Bringing @Anti Federalist into the loop.


    I will just touch on a few of these for starters:


    1.)

    Making concealed-carry firearm permits valid across state lines.

    The 2nd Amendment is the only permit you need. I am not aware of the 2nd Amendment talking about any other permits. Unless people feel that "bills" should supersede the Bill of Rights.


    2.)

    H.J.Res.2 - Proposing a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution of the United States.
    Amash - Voted "No"

    Creating the all-powerful federal government by Amendment

    Amendments supersede all language to the contrary in the existing Constitution. For example, the 13th Amendment superseded provisions within Article I, Section 2, clause 3 & Article IV, Section 2, clause 3 which were inconsistent with the 13th Amendment.

    So a BBA, which would authorize Congress to spend money on whatever they or the President decide to put into the budget, would supersede the list of enumerated powers in our Constitution.

    .
    .
    .
    Conclusion

    A BBA would have the opposite effect of what you have been told. Instead of limiting the federal government, it legalizes spending which is now unconstitutional as outside the scope of the enumerated powers; transforms the federal government into one which has power over whatever they decide to spend money on; and does nothing to reduce federal spending.

    I will just touch on a few of these for starters:


    1.)

    Making concealed-carry firearm permits valid across state lines.

    The 2nd Amendment is the only permit you need. I am not aware of the 2nd Amendment talking about any other permits. Unless people feel that "bills" should supersede the Bill of Rights
    Yes, I am aware of the issues with federally mandated permits, especially in CCC states like NH.

    I have no issue with his no vote on this. As nice as it would be to stick it states like NJ and NY, the downsides would be worth it.

    I am genuinely surprised at his no vote on defunding ACA.

    To be fair, he did vote FOR military tranny surgeries and hormone therapy.

    I remember reading it at the time and will have to reread again it to make certain so that I am not in error. But I recall it was during that time when republicans were talking about "repeal and replace", which did nothing under the covers, and was pathetic.


    Bills these days are hundreds, thousands of pages which makes interpreting the "legal jargon" a challenge. One of the things that I advocate are returning the bills to one single issue so that we know exactly what is in them.

    THIS and as someone who lives in his district I'm really disappointed to lose someone with such a (most of the time) good voting record. I've got to get cracking and get familiar with those running in the primary and hope that one, at least, is a true conservative. Some are just never Trumpers. Amash's open borders stance and siding with serial lairs like Andrew Weissman is unforgivable, for me. I would have to hold my nose to vote for him, again, and it would have been purely to stop a Democrap from getting in there. Sad ending.

    Years ago, I wrote an email to Justin, Rand and someone else (can't recall now, asking someone to please introduce a "truth in legislation act", requiring legislation to be wholly written by the legislator introducing the bill; limiting the scope to one issue; limiting number of pages to ten; requiring common language and no legalese and a few other things I can't remember. Never heard back from anyone.

    I believe in states rights in an ideal world but this is a war where the states are locking people up for crossing state lines with a firearm. This is less than an ideal solution but what better way to fight this war and stop the states from trampling on 2nd amendment rights? Do we wait years for the Supreme Court while people sit in jail while our countrymen are disarmed?

    The left has thrown out the rule book while we are playing by the rule book. Sure fire way to lose the country to them.
