It&#8217;s not just about stabbing a friend, it&#8217;s about coming together as a group and stabbing a friend&#8221; ~ Unknown<\/p>\n<p>I suppose I should work a little harder at this, but I have to get them out as soon as I can. Time&#8217;s a-wasting.<\/p>\n<p>It IS, indeed, the Ides of March. I still don&#8217;t have a candidate. I will support, obviously, the party line. I THINK. Just the other day at a &#8220;town hall&#8221; or a &#8220;debate&#8221; the candidates were all asked if they would pledge to support the G.O.P. candidate. There in lies the rub. IF the G.O.P. candidate, by virtue of a brokered convention, turns out to NOT be Trump. I&#8217;m saying that even if he wins the delegates needed, here, and &#8220;THE G.O.P.&#8221; decides it should be Cruz, Rubio, Kasich or, (SHUDDER), Mitt Romney, (D-MA). Then, the other guys would be able to KEEP the &#8220;pledge&#8221; they made. Pretty slick, huh?<\/p>\n<p>I still can&#8217;t understand why they&#8217;re fighting Trump this hard. None of them will fight Hillary, the presumptive Democrat candidate. Face it&#8230;if the Dems put Sanders forward they won&#8217;t HAVE TO fight all that hard. America isn&#8217;t ready for a Socialist. We seem to be okay with Commies in the White House, though. So the RiNO \/ Establishment \/ D.C. Insider \/ machine aspect of the G.O.P. are keeping the spirit of the Ides of March alive and well.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, he IS loud, brash, brazen, rude, brazen&#8230;(did I say brazen? He&#8217;s a NEW YORKER!), you name it. Yes, he did make a couple of statements about punching someone. There was also the comment about shooting someone. His supporters weren&#8217;t the one who got the event in Chi-town cancelled. Back in &#8217;68, (before you were born, remember kids!), it was the DNC that had problems with the far Left&#8230;the SDS and the Weather Underground. Now it&#8217;s the Right&#8217;s turn&#8230;facing the SAME FACES! Ayers, Dohrn and Boudin! (Wow! Simpatico!) These people, in conjunction with newer movements such as Acorn, (funded by a Jew who collaborated with the Nazis in WW II to kill other Jews), the &#8220;occupy&#8221; people and &#8220;Black Lives Matter&#8221;, (yes, I DID put quotation marks around that), set out to disrupt and that&#8217;s what they did. They used THEIR First Amendment rights to SUPPRESS other people&#8217;s First Amendment rights. How very 1929! Suppression of opposition is one of the FIRST tactics of fascism. Now, THERE&#8217;S an ideological dichotomy! Using fascist tactics to call the opposing people fascists! Benito and Adolph would be so proud! On the scene the &#8220;protesters&#8221; couldn&#8217;t even elaborate why they were there. Some, I&#8217;m sure, were just sucked up into the fray while others, the professional provocateurs, apparatchiks and rioter soldiers, answered ads online in places such as C&#8217;s list&#8230;answering reporters with such phrases as &#8220;I don&#8217;t care to get into that right now&#8221; or &#8220;I have no comment&#8221;. There was a rumor that they wore color-coded garments so they could e seen doing what they WERE HIRED to do. (Conjecture stipulated. Thus far there&#8217;s no hard evidence to support a claim that the Sanders campaign had any direct involvement in funding these activities). Should have all been in brown shirts, too. They were RECITING answers that they REHEARSED. Best organized &#8220;flash mob&#8221; I&#8217;ve ever seen.<br \/>\nSo, again, while I am not yet declaring for &#8220;The T Man&#8221; or anyone else, it&#8217;s getting harder and harder to NOT notice reasons why I should. Okay. Break out the long knives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;People seem to be losing the spirit of the day.
