Trumpist Regime and the Conservative Movement

I've said it before, and today, I'll say it again: the Republican Party is dead. The Trump regime, under his mob-like, dictatorial, Stalin-esque style of Party politics has done irreparable damage to the once great party of Lincoln.

Trumps Politburo has condemned sanity, rationality, and quite frankly, core Republican values enshrined from our greatest leaders: Lincoln and Eisenhower (no Regean was a factual sellout and 'RINO'). We owe this great debacle to several key factors: the failure of actually progressing the ideology of limited government, simple taxation, and cronyism/nepotism.

Trumpist Politburo surrogates have become tantamount to megalomania and Putin-esque oligarchic "if you're not with us, you're against us and you will die." Granted, this notion far precedes any current candidate and even prior to the usage from George W. Bush. Nevertheless, Trumpist surrogates have become the epitome of the far-right/alt-right movement who see sanity and compromise as the antithesis of reason and rationality, much like the Leftist regime of SJWs and the kind who say "if you disagree with me your: misogynistic, bigoted, transphobic, and Islamaphobic" as their only reasonable retorts to factual evidence and mathematical principles of law.

Let me be clear that in no way or form am I saying that I'd vote for Hillary, which could be another post! However, in regards to the Party that I've identified with for much of life, it has become the very evil we once stood against. The principles of Conservatism are for everyone, the application of these principles have been highly neglected by the Far Right and the Christian Right. This fierce opposition which started with Regean and culminated into what is now Trumpism, is the very antithesis of pragmatic conservatism and truthful Republican ideals....in the words of Queen Amidala, Ruler of Naboo, "If this body is incapable of action, I suggest new leadership is needed. I move for a vote of no confidence in Chancellor [Trump's] leadership."

No truer words have been so pivotal in this election than the error of the party allowing the Trump arrogance seep into our party politics. Reince Priebus has become a mockery of a leader. Only the true Republicans, who are seen by the Alt-Right/Christian Right/Far Right as the epitome of evil. This is barbaric in rhetoric, and quite frankly, arrogant.

This Party must break apart to become better. The new forces of rationality, sanity, and compassion based on Lincoln's and Eisenhower's ideologies can only make this--and should I dare say--new party become more powerful! The Left must be stopped for the overreaching PC culture, their dominance in education, their failure to actually fix the issues. Clearly, Europe's "peace, love, and inclusion" has made for even the President of France to question his actions. After 5 attacks under his tenure, is it any real solution to just allow unfettered access to their lands? No, even the Jedi knew that allowing everyone to have their rights as people be limited to damaging others (inciting violence and death).

Hillary is just as bad as Trump, just as vile, just as powerful in total hegemonic demagoguery. Her and Trump are two forces that must be taken down. We can ill afford a Presidency that does more damage to the populace than aid it. Many of the population will learn, when there is nothing left, that our two leaders of the Party--which have strayed so far--are the very evil we stand against.

I suggest we create a new party, a moderate Conservative party, that can and will do everything to become what the Democrats and Republicans are severely failing to accomplish.  

Trumps Exit Will Save The GOP

The party is dead. The party needs a unified front. The party needs rebranding. The party is dead.

These phrases have been the pinnacle of the GOP politics since 2008, nearly a decade of disunity and failure, or so the pundits say and yell. Countless weeks and money has poured the media waves with the so called end to the Republican Party. Since 2000, it's been said the Party has died and with it, its power to compel voters to elect them to office. Enter 2006, when Democratic control reigned absolute and without contest. Presiding over it, Speaker Pelosi (D-CA) and Senator Harry Reid (D-NV), whose neoprogressive politics had absolute authority.

The major theme of the last 8 years of presidential politics and last 6 years of congressional politics has been the Party, meaning the Grand Ole Party/Republican Party, surely must be dead after George W. Bush's term of office and the loss of prestige of power--both soft and hard, to two wars costing nearly $1-trillion. So, let's talk Party politic and what it means for the 2016 election:

Q. IS THE PARTY DEAD?
If the party is dead, shouldn't Rep. Pelosi and Sen. Reid be in firm control of Congress from 2006-current? The problem with this thinking is that no party can control an area without some reaction force, i.e. Democratic control of the south and Republican Reconstruction. This may seem anecdotal but in 2010, it swept Republicans into Congress and in two years after, Republicans took control of the Senate. Controlling the aspect of the Tea Party movement, the Republicans maintain a solid power, not an overwhelming one but a solid one.

Q. THE TRUMP SHALL END THE PARTY?
Trump is the greatest problem of the democratic system. His wins in the primary season have made for a great error of the Republicans; however, I disagree with the notion that all Republicans disapprove of the Republican Elite. If, every single Republican hated the elite, wouldn't they have already ousted them, regardless of campaign promises and Super-PACs! Here's where I will stipulate that the Party would actually be better if Trump loses the Nomination. If he loses, that means the mainly strong religious and far-right movement would leave because they feel the elite have accosted their ways, when in all actuality, the "RINOs," as the far-right sees it, are saving the party, because it is the more moderate and likely of the old era of Republican dominance. Trumps exit would free the Party to do more, to capitalize on moderates and independents who do not share the same view as the far-right.

Q. WHAT DO WE DO NOW?
We wait and hope that the Party Elite will take Trump and have him nose dive out of the GOP and with it, the arm of the GOP that has hindered the Party's electability for nearly three decades. We must relish in our attempts to stymie Trump and to make this Party stronger and more capable then the fractured DNC. We must fight to stop Trump and in essence Cruz from being the nominee!  

Trump v. America

"In the matter of Trump v. America, this high court...."

This line could easily be from a future lawsuit if he becomes the nominee, and possibly if he becomes the next President.

Like this post assumes, Trump is bad for America. He's bad for Democrats, Republicans, and Independents (whom could be affiliated on farther left or right). Here's a man, who is as other pundits say, a Populist. Populism is "a doctrine that appeals to the interests and conceptions (such as hopes and fears) of the general population, especially when contrasting any new collective consciousness push against the prevailing status quo interests of any predominant political sector."

Populism can be used by any political philosophy and as such Donald Trump has used a national populism against most policies of the Obama Administration and presidency. Trump has made very seemingly derogatory, inflammatory, and degrading words and statements.

I cannot stand as a conservative gay man, in this political discourse, to allow a man, who has no temperament. I cannot stand with or aside Donald Trump. I refuse. I explicitly refuse that I will ever vote for him in the Republican Presidential Caucus of Kentucky.

I will fight, alongside my fellow Republicans and moderate Democrats to defeat Trump, as I have from the very first Republican caucus.

Do not chose Trump. Do not vote Trump. He is, without a doubt a free radical who will do untold damage to the America we know. In fact, I'd go so far as to say George W. Bush would be better than Donald Trump, because we know George W. Bush, but we do not know or care for Donald Trump.

If you agree that Donald Trump will do greatness, Vladimir Lenin, Benitio Mussolini, Mao Zedong, Adolf Hitler, Fidel Castro, and countless other leaders who did unspeakable things in the name of greatness.

The bottom line is that if Donald Trump wins the nomination, American politics will shatter. 

The Marriage Debate

Oh, how I wish this were a topic of lesser proportions, but alas, it cannot be and never will be, Where did the marriage concept, legally speaking, become the dominant force for social and other policies to become so ingrained into a cataclysmic problem?

Over the course of history, marriage became a more spiritual and religious component to a more legal standing. Where and when the precise moments of that change are not easily found. Thus, it must be that during the mid to late 20th century, in America that such a concept was adopted: that marriage was descriptive of a legal point of view and under the purview of the government.

Now, I am no proponent of the government telling me that their description of marriage is absolute law. Before you begin to think, he's ok with bestiality or polygamy!, I do say that there are certain limitations that should be collectively argued as irreconcilable with society and the general welfare of the people.

With the growing approval of same-sex marriages from the repeal of DADT and DOMA (United States v. Windsor), it seems inevitable. With the 6th Circuit of Appeals defending the state constitutional bans in contrast with the 9th, 10th, 4th, 7th, 11th, all either overturning and staying decision for appeal to the Supreme Court or overturning and not staying for appeal, it created a split decision for a full Supreme Court hearing.

With the legal stuff behind, I looked to other things affecting the concept of full marriage equality. Unfortunately, there not much basis for a differing opinion for escaping this issue, unless common law marriages, civil unions, or eliminating marriage from the law are in concert with your beliefs.

I once discussed this issue with an old friend, who unfortunately since passed away from horrible circumstances, and while it was a lively debate, I do not regret this debate.

As a New Age Conservative, there are realities that we must get behind, and marriage equality for all, save the outlawed portions that are as previously stated not good for society and its general welfare, is going to be one of them.

It is a reality because, as I have stated in other posts, the hyper-religious and extremist far-right, have become the anti-morality of our time. They embody the things that are wrong with my party. Marriage has and always be a spiritual component of life, regardless of religious affiliation. Before the creation of many of the monotheist religious, homosexuality was once a common practice, with much of the Ancient  World never mentioning it because it wasn't an important topic.

Many of my Republican friends will most likely excommunicate me and cry foul, but that doesn't matter anymore. We have larger battles to deal with than marriage--to which I firmly believe is something that should be extended to all peoples. And yes, this a complete 180 from my belief of a few years ago.

My beliefs are my own, they can change and can be altered, However, one notion that I cannot stand, is Democrats and Republicans saying that I am a traitor to my party or a person who is "idiotic and stupid" for being a Republican or even a New Age Conservative. 

State of the Republican Party

Origins: Whig, Free Soil Party
Date: 1854-
Status: Unknown

"There’s no one reason we lost. Our message was weak; our ground game was insufficient; we weren’t inclusive; we were behind in both data and digital; and our primary and debate process needed improvement."

-- National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus

The Grand Old Party, is, and possibly will be, in tumult, until the realignment of the Party policies are done.

To date, the Party has lost major hold on the American voters, whom seem to have shed some of the old views of the country ideals. The GOP, unfortunately, is failing to remind itself on major issues that it could be more proactive and relent on some.

The Party, is failing in its current stance. Why? Because it is losing its current power structures. And that is good.

Yes, you heard me, I am happy the current leadership is slowly crumbling. It isn't too hard to see that very different leaders are emerging and they see it as an opportunity to make the party better. And fortunately, I see that change occurring in many of my contemporaries. The Party, is, and was, hijacked by a group of neo-conservatives, who are far too reactionary to see that their policies are only burning the Party to the ground.

As a man who has studied political science and lived through some very unique arguments as a Republican/Conservative prior to coming out, I held my own with my more liberal friends and colleagues. Yet, there is something to be said. The Party has made relatively only a few shifts in the history of the Party, that once founded itself upon individualism and giving the people the capabilities to succeed.

The Party needs to change and amend some of its high valued stances and some of which are very hard to discuss. The majority of the issues are social and some fiscal issues, but without a unique perspective and a way to understand how to make these changes work, the Party will continue to fall slowly into the fire that consumed its hijacking from the Far Right-Wing of the Republican base.

I am a man. I am gay. I am a Conservative. And the Party needs to address the issues that will not only secure the voters in the long term, but ensure the Party's continual existence and to readdress its original values and to stand firm and be the beacon that made me agree with the Republican Party.

While it is possible that my party could fail, I am ready, and willing to launch a revised form of our party if it implodes--as many of my liberal colleagues have insisted that it would occur soon (some indicated that its implosion and ultimate fall was a few years ago) and that, I being a gay man, could not follow the Republican Party solely on that issue. To that, I say you have ultimately failed to see the reality of individualism and have tried to pioneer a collectivist vision that rests on an idealistic viewpoint that you can make others do what you want.

My final conclusion on the Party is that it is drawing to a fork in the road, one in which it needs to be prepared to make a choice to fail or succeed. And even with success, it will also need to make changes for the better and for the people, it was so desperately created for back in 1854. And should it fail, I shall call upon all of my friends and colleagues who believe in the Conservative views and help rebuild our Party into a New Conservative Party.
