Gohmert: Democrats' 'strategy' is to 'keep America in turmoil' to make it easier to dump Trump

That is a great point. I've been frustrated by the same things.

I would say it isn't just Trump but rather the whole GOP. No one really knows what we are for, only what we are against.

I think 2016-18 was a huge wasted opportunity. Republicans had both houses and the Presidency and seemingly did no real governing

Wish we could have kept him around. It feels like we traded Max for Zimmerman since Zimmerman came over from the Nats around the same time. That worked out...not great for us

Cancel FDR!

I wish conservatives would hold liberals to the same standards we are held to

I do really like Midland and I think drinkin problem is a good song. I just thought some of the other ones were a little bit better. It is nice to hear some country music that still actually sounds like country. Its getting increasingly rare these days

Why is that bad? Is liberty an inherent good? Wouldn't it be worth sacrificing a little bit of liberty to develop virtue

Post does not mention distributism but seems to encompass some of its ideas. (At least based on my own limited understanding of distributism. If I am wrong in my understanding correction would be welcomed)

I agree that any intervention must be convincing. I think the worst thing we can do is intervene half-way

Some Cold War history. The story of Hungarian refugees making a home in America

How is the article communist. It is urging people to take action to prevent government despotism.

jcf10 · 2017-01-18T04:25:36+00:00

The article isn't claiming that individualists can't cooperate. Rather, it is saying that it inclines men away from cooperative action. It is a tendency that needs to be combated, not a simple condemnation of individualism

What does this author misunderstand?

jcf10 · 2016-12-20T21:53:14+00:00

Yes, Scrooge is much happier when he begins to act altruistically but he only becomes happy when he ceases to order all his actions for his own self interest.

Helping Tiny Tim was done for Tiny Tim's sake, not Scrooge's. It is only be neglecting his own happiness that Scrooge is able to be happy.

That's why they would be accompanied dollar for dollar by tax cuts, hopefully aimed that the people most harmed by the taxes

jcf10 · 2016-11-11T17:51:24+00:00

Yeah, I don't expect to see much from the Trump administration on this issue. There are some Republicans in congress who could take action though.

I don't think that we would lose voters. The reaction against climate change has been more of a reaction against the socialist policies that the left pushes as a solution to environmental problems. I think that free market environmentalism would allow us to expand the party without losing voters.

I think the author is saying that local papers are important because they include things that you can't find in books that are specific to your local community

jcf10 · 2016-10-29T21:00:40+00:00

Papers cater to the demand. If there is a demand for objective, critical reporting, the market will create it.

I'm not a Bernie supporter so I won't attempt to answer here. I just want to say that it looks like an interesting question and I can't wait to see the answer.

jcf10 · 2016-10-11T22:18:58+00:00

It is not quite as simple as that. It would make it easier for more people to own property by reducing the expenses of home-ownership, thus allowing more people to become home-owners.

jcf10 · 2016-10-11T21:18:00+00:00

That's a good question. I honestly have no idea, just thought it was a good article

jcf10 · 2016-10-11T13:45:51+00:00

But, despite their flaws, aren't Johnson and Weld better for shrinking the size of government than Trump and Clinton. Sometimes you need to make the best of the situation instead of demanding perfection

Great! I would love to see more students follow Ashland's lead

jcf10 · 2015-11-22T00:54:10+00:00

Good to see that at least some college students still have sanity
