At the declaration by Donald Trump that he is a candidate for the presidential nomination of the Republican Party, media elites of left and right reacted with amusement, anger and disgust.
Though he has been a hugely successful builder-businessman, far more successful than, say, Carly Fiorina, who has been received respectfully, our resident elites resolutely refuse to take Trump seriously.
They should. Not because he will be nominated, but because the Trump constituency will represent a vote of no confidence in the Beltway ruling class of politicians and press.
Votes for Trump will be votes to repudiate that class, whole and entire, and dump it onto the ash heap of history.
Votes for Trump will be votes to reject a regime run by Bushes and Clintons that plunged us into unnecessary wars, cannot secure our borders, and negotiates trade deals that produced the largest trade deficits known to man and gutted a manufacturing base that was once “the great arsenal of democracy” and envy of mankind.
A vote for Trump is a vote to say that both parties have failed America and none of the current crop of candidates offers real hope of a better future.
The first book in Arthur Schlesinger’s trilogy about FDR’s ascent to power was “The Crisis of the Old Order.” That title is relevant to our time. For there is today a crisis of the regime in America — a crisis of confidence, a crisis of competence, a crisis of legitimacy.
People are agitating for the overthrow of the old order and a new deal for America. For there is a palpable sense that the game is rigged against Middle America and for the benefit of insiders who grow rich and fat not by making things or building things, but by manipulating money.
Americans differentiate the wealth of a Henry Ford and a Bill Gates from that of the undeserving rich whose hedge fund fortunes can exceed the GDP of nations.
Trump says America is becoming a “dumping ground” for mass immigration from the failed states of the Third World, that Mexico is not “sending us her best and finest,” that China is stealing American jobs, that invading Iraq was a blunder.
Politically incorrect and socially insensitive certainly, but is he entirely wrong?
Was not the Iraq war a disaster for which our foreign policy priesthood and journalist-acolytes never paid the price that would be exacted in other societies were thousands of soldiers to die and tens of thousands to be wounded and maimed in so predictable a blunder?
Is it not true that among the millions of illegal immigrants who have broken into our country the great majority has illegitimacy rates, delinquency rates, dropout rates, drug use rates, crime rates, and incarceration rates far higher than those of native-born Americans?
Is Trump wrong on this, or simply wrong to bring it up?
Has not mass immigration brought to America old diseases we once stamped out and new diseases we had never heard of?
Do Americans not have the right to decide who shall come to our country, how many, and whence they shall come?
Is there no correlation between a decrepit Maoist China rising to become the greatest manufacturing power Asia has ever seen — and the $3 trillion to $4 trillion in trade deficits we have run with Beijing — and the disappearance of a third of all American manufacturing jobs?
Who negotiated those deals? Who paid a price for the misery they brought to Rust Belt America?
There are precedents in U.S. history for outsiders — Norman Thomas and Henry Wallace on the left, George Wallace and Ross Perot on the right — to enter the presidential lists. And across the pond a similar crisis of the old order is calling forth new people and new parties.
As in America, dominant parties like the Tories and Labour in Britain are losing loyalists to the “a-plague-on-both-your-houses” dissident parties.
Millions in Europe now want out of the EU. Old nations are coming apart. Leftist parties like Syriza in Greece and Podemos in Spain have arisen to defy Brussels and Berlin.
The Scottish National Party is of the left while the Independence Party in the U.K. is of the populist right. In Southeastern Europe, there have arisen parties of the extreme right.
This endless proliferation of parties, like the welcome being given to Trump, testifies to the new reality: Everywhere, including here, old parties are losing the people in whose name they presume to speak.
And the specter of Republicans, who just won an historic victory by promising to do battle against President Obama, colluding with Obama to surrender Congress’ right to amend trade treaties and sign on to a Trans- Pacific Partnership pact that looks like another transfer of jobs and factories to Asia, has re-enforced these sentiments.
If Trump wants to stake his claim as a different kind of Republican, he will go to Washington and pound the Boehner-McConnell Congress until it gives up on Obamatrade and fast track.

#63. To: buckeroo (#50)
How dare you insult GrandIsland by calling him a COMMUNIST? As anyone here familiar with his posts can see, he's not one. A more accurate description would be "police state fascist". beats me, potatoe peeler .. please recite it.
I understand. I was giving GrandIsland the benefit of the doubt, however. Sometymes I make mistakes in relative perception about the trash around here.
Paraphrased, it says that if you are working for a company that has been receiving taxpayer funded government contracts for years, then you should not criticize. Have you been working for a company that was receiving taxpayer funded government contacts from which they paid your salary?
You keep up your childish moderating (s)kills, and I will call you on it. You're the one out of line here, pebbles.
Don't give me any shit, tater. This is DPAS rating stuff you are describing. Go fuck yourself.
You didn't answer the question, I will repeat it: Have you been working for a company that was receiving taxpayer funded government contacts from which they paid your salary?
Do you understand that when a privately owned and managed corporation receives a mandated requirement by Congressional Act, that we are subject to the torment of DPAS? This same requirement is true for all sub-tier suppliers for materials, methods and means that we choose. It is stressful, too. You are just a totally screwed potatoe peeler not realizing that your lofty US government does to all of us. And you can place a winning bet: I shall make a buck.
You didn't answer the question, I will repeat it: Have you been working for a company that was receiving taxpayer funded government contacts from which they paid your salary?
And I take all the risk for DPAS rated contracts while you little POS peel potatoes and reap HUGE benefits. Go fuck yourself, pal.
"Go fuck yourself, pal" is NOT an answer. Let’s try it this way: Do you work for a “firm that makes specialized Navy computer parts, has secured about $40 million in mostly no-bid government contracts during the past decade and enjoyed millions in exclusive earmarks from Congress?” At taxpayers expense...
Tater, why do you keep pinging Pebbles to your replies? Go peel some potatoes...
Go peel some potatoes... Because I want to....and I do what I want to do. I want to expose a hypocrite....and I am doing that. BTW - I don't eat potatoes...
I work in the private market sector that often appeals to the US government. If the government awards a contract because of competitive bidding processes that are already established through the controlled government process, I am one happy camper. Do you understand? However, I am obligated to complete the contract requirements for not just on-tyme delivery but materials and performance of product. My efforts don't receive a dime beyond the contract.
So the answer is "YES" ... correct? You do receive money from the taxpayers for doing a job, right? Isn't that what you attempted to condemn others for doing? The exact same thing you are doing?
Damned Buck. You're a hypocrite.
No. I have no perpetual contract with anyone to include the US government. I take the risk for product/service performance non-conformances. I receive no compensation beyond the contract requirements. I am far removed from your do-nothing life working as a laborer in a US government agency. Unlike you operating as a potatoe peeler for twenty years in the USAF getting an infinite stipend, I decided to take a bit of risk in life to build personal wealth. I won and you lose.
There is much more to it....perhaps it is best I stop here. Edit: Maybe not....I think he just challenged me for more.
I understand you are a hypocrite. lol Every society gets the kind of criminal it deserves. What is equally true is that every community gets the kind of law enforcement it insists on. Robert Kennedy
What form of objective risk analysis do you perform on your contracts? And you suggest that I am a hypocrite? I want to see one of your contracts. What is it beyond," I want my home roof repaired." In my case, I do not facilitate your kind of jobs ANYWHERE. I flow down job requirements to my sub-tier suppliers. If they take the contract they are obligated to perform the mission, particularly since I describe their relative responsible efforts based on contract. If I were to define you as as subcontractor as an example, you would take all the risk of falling off a roof. If you agreed and hit your noggin, it all your fault for not completing the contract. It is unlikely that I would pursue you as a future sub-contractor.
Bingo!!!! Every society gets the kind of criminal it deserves. What is equally true is that every community gets the kind of law enforcement it insists on. Robert Kennedy
You said a lot of mumbo jumbo. But you're still a hypocrite.
You do not know the real world at all. YOU JUST BELIEVE IN SOME ARCHAIC SYSTEM THAT IS GOING NO WHERE.
It was never a “win or lose” for me, Buck.
So, why does the forums biggest government hating troll live in the most tyrannical state, Kookifornia? Is there anything about you that's not hypocritical? Every society gets the kind of criminal it deserves. What is equally true is that every community gets the kind of law enforcement it insists on. Robert Kennedy
You have only shown yourself to be a complete asshole.
You have only shown yourself to be a complete asshole. Buck... Let's let it go...
Sarge, there is no way that I shall "let it go." You are a complete asshole and you proved it on this thread. I recommend that your password be strengthened far greater than it is now.
I can't believe he makes a living off my federal tex dollars. No wonder he's embarrassed to accept SS

Sarge, there is no way that I shall "let it go." You are a complete asshole and you proved it on this thread. I recommend that your password be strengthened far greater than it is now. Why should I strengthen my password, Buck? Do you intend to do to me what Goldi said here that you did to yukon? I have always suspected it was you, and I figured your ego would bring you to admit it someday. Is that someday…..now, Buck? Did you compromise yukon’s password?
And don't forget that I am a US citizen, never been arrested making money on a daily basis through productive pursuits. And I vote.
What would the mutual funds that invested in AAA sub-prime A$$paper be worth today if Helicopter Ben hadn't fired up the printing press?
Remember the evening, when LP went down for a total of 15 minutes [900 seconds to be accurate]? Just prior to the loss of intercommunication, you and I were active in discourse about your paranoia over yukon. Remember? You came back to the channel after it was unlocked and freaked out that I was still present. A number of others realized the same, too. But, you probably don't remember as you have lost your mind and reasoning skills.
I want you to think of my recommendations as mere publick safety precautions that are offered in good faith and common sense. You need not worry anymore than some Alaskans.
But, you probably don't remember as you have lost your mind and reasoning skills. I remember the DOS attack very well....how could anyone ever forget such a malicious attack? Are you now admitting that you did a DOS attack on LP? What others realized the same....you and I were the only ones on LP at the time of the DOS attack.
What makes you think it was the only one? BTW, it was not a DOS attack.
Buck, thank you for your recommendations. However, I can assure you that I am not in the least bit worried. What's it gonna be with me, the old "I clicked on the wrong link" trick to a gay porn site....as was done with yukon? Or something different, this time?
I scare the shit out of you don't I? I am free and can do anything based on fact and reason whereas you are bounded by self constructed barriers to realize your own potential for being on this planet.
What makes you think it was the only one? BTW, it was not a DOS attack. I only saw the one....were there more? If it was not a DOS attack, then what was it? How else can a web forum be shut down for 15 minutes?
Hell no, Buck....nothing scares me! You are all "Puff" and no "Adder."
