The presidential primary election is pretty much a moot point in the
remaining states. Those who already voted had a choice of stick-it-in-your-eye political payback
candidate, or a return to constitutional politics candidate. They chose
to pay back the establishment. Maybe because they decided that none of the presidential candidates
had it in their heart or in their power to fix the entrenched perversion of
the two major political parties. Perhaps they preferred hyperbolic bomb
throwing to boring rhetoric, or maybe there was a lot of voter ignorance, or
maybe they decided to go with celebrity over substance. Maybe it was because
their ears were deaf to the logic, or their eyes blind to reality, or their
minds closed to history, or maybe it was all of the above.
What I did learn is that I can no longer claim the label of
conservative or Republican. The party has sunk far below the level of conduct I’m
willing to be associated with, and the majority of those voters claiming
conservatism have apparently traded the precise words of the constitution for their interpretation
of the gospel.
So where does that put those of us who swore allegiance to
the constitution…not a Caesar, or a religion, or a populist movement? We are on the outside
looking in as the factions jockey and bicker in the name of their favorite object of worship. We have nowhere to go and nothing to do but wait to see where the
chaos goes and where it ends.
Last month once again set a record for gun sales in America. I wonder
why?
