Psa60v7 Case for Cruz

Psalm 60 | The Cruz Administration – J :) 
Psalm. 60:7 KJV Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;
__ Lots of talent. Lots of offices. One chief magistrate.
__ Jindal for Vice President. Trump for Secretary of State. Christie for Attorney General. .Etc.
Psalm 60:8-12 KJV Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe: Philistia, triumph thou because of me. 9 Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom? 10 Wilt not thou, O God, which hadst cast us off? and thou, O God, which didst not go out with our armies? 11 Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man. 12 Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.
__ Remember. You read it here first.

Why I’m Endorsing Ted Cruz For President

Conservatives have been hoping that “another Reagan” will come along for decades and we finally have one: Ted Cruz.
Like Reagan, Ted Cruz is not popular with the establishment wing of the Republican Party. In fact, you’ll often hear it said that, “Some people don’t like Ted.” There is truth to that and I would encourage you to judge Ted Cruz by his enemies.
Liberal Democrats fear Ted Cruz because they know he’s a strong, principled conservative that can’t be browbeaten, pushed around or bought off. While many other Republicans insisted that we wave the white flag to Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama, again and again, it was Ted Cruz who called on conservatives to stand up for what they believe in instead of buckling at the knees.  
Republicans who love open borders and amnesty don’t like Ted Cruz much either because he’s been one of their strongest foes in the Senate. Back in 2013, when Donald Trump was calling for amnesty and Marco Rubio was pushing a bill that would have altered the demographics of our country in a way that would have permanently marginalized conservatives going forward, Ted Cruz was on the right side of the fight. 
Listen to what Jeff Sessions, the staunchest opponent of amnesty and open borders in the Senate, had to say about the battle over the Gang-of-8 amnesty bill.
"In 2013 they spent a billion and a half dollars to promote this legislation, the political consultants, they had pollsters hired to spin the numbers, they had special interest groups, they met for months, the gang of eight, they were determined, it was a near on thing, it was a worse bill than the 2007 bill. It gave amnesty first...It was that close to being passed... and I think I can say this with integrity. Without the vigorous opposition of Ted Cruz, this bill likely would have passed."
Additionally, establishment Republicans have never loved Ted Cruz. That’s because Cruz’s willingness to fight the Democrats puts a spotlight on their cowardice, the strength of his connection with conservatives reveals how out of touch they are and his insistence that Republicans keep their campaign promises highlights how seldom they actually keep their word. The fact that John Boehner has lost his job and that so many people are blaming the GOP leadership in Congress for the seething anger of Republican voters this year reveals the biggest reason the establishment Republicans hate Cruz: They were wrong and he was right.
It’s these same establishment types who have used their favorite argument against a candidate who’s obviously preferable to the ones they want, “He can’t win the general election.”

Senator Once Aided by Palin Now Campaigning for Anybody But Trump

Sarah Palin rallied for Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) in his 2014 quest for Congress.
Now, the freshman senator has pledged to do everything he can to ensure that Palin's pick for the GOP presidential nomination is defeated.
Sasse is campaigning with both of his upper chamber colleagues, Sens. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and Ted Cruz (R-Texas), in the hope that one of them can defeat The Donald.
The Nebraska senator told MSNBC this morning that he's campaigning against Trump because "I'm pro-Constitution and I want to make America great again."
"And the best way to do that is by uniting around the things that bring us together and that's not one guy's ego, that's a system of laws and limited government," Sasse said. "So if being pro-Constitution makes me anti-Mr. Trump, I think that's his problem."
"The guy talks constantly about how he'll get everything done alone. He said recently that if he's elected president he'll be able to do whatever he wants. That's pretty much what the American Revolution was about. We already have one party in this country that's gone post-constitutional. We don't need another one."
Sasse noted that "a lot of people really, really appreciate that he's accurately diagnosing a lot that's wrong, but that's not the same as telling us what he's for."
"I think that Donald Trump is really entertaining. I think that Donald Trump would be a great guy to have a beer with. I get that you guys have him on everyday because he makes for great television," he continued. "...I want to make America great again and I'm glad Donald Trump will attack all of that nonsense. But frankly I'm not really sure what he's for. That's what people actually say on the street. And I'll tell you, the oath I took is to a Constitution. I want to make America great again as well, and the way you do that is by a nation of limited government."
Sasse isn't just hitting the ground against Trump, but the former university president is mixing it up on Trump's favorite soapbox: Twitter.[My emphasis,]

1Ti2v1to3 Betrayed by O

Cause of O administration malfunction – J :) 
1Ti 2:1-4 KJV I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; (2) For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. (3) For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; (4) Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
__ Prayer is the sovereign remedy for anxiety - Phil 4:6-7 - bringing the peace that passes understanding.
__ It is men, not law, that are given authority as God's servants, modifying, enforcing, and interpreting law.
__ In our Nation, the equivalent of "kings" is "the People" (actually, in this curmudgeon;s view, the several sovereign peoples of the several sovereign states). 
__ The biblical aim of prayer for all men and for all in authority is the establishment of a peaceful and stable environment in which we may effectually declare the Good News of eternal salvation through the Cross and blood of our Lord, Jesus Christ. 
KipKoy said... [/] Jim, [/] As Obama ends his term in office, it is obvious that he has deceived us but I doubt he did it purposely but rather he didn't understand he couldn't do some of what he wanted to do.  I believe his pulling out of Iran was a terrible error and ISIS is the consequence.  I think he is more pro Muslim than he wants us to believe and we see that once in a while.  Is he worse than any other President?  I think not.  He just isn't as good as some of us hoped he'd be and for others, he could never be good enough. [/] Kip
Is he worse than any other President?  Not morally worse. Those who raised him and his later close acquaintances were not the best providers of character and sanity for anyone influenced by them. See earlier post on thread copied and linked below.
But his administration is undoubtedly the worst in our Nation's history. And at a time when the Nation and all humanity are in maximal peril from a variety of evils.
But our God and Father will accomplish His purpose whatever the current characteristics of the world.
Those that love Him and are the called according to that purpose will continue to grow, gradually but inevitably, into the very image of the Son of His love.
Lelanga said... [/] I don't think he believes he has betrayed us.  I think he actually thinks he is able to determine what is best for the majority of the people.  You have to understand you are dealing with someone who has a serious character disorder.  As C.S. Lewis said, a really bad man has no concept that he is a really bad man.  Obama has trashed nearly every value that has made this nation strong, but I think he truly feels he is right.  Now Pelosi, Reid and the rest - deliberate betrayal for their own power.
I believe you are right about the serious character disorder. His many enablers may have a greater degree of responsibility for the resulting debacle. Including the self-declared de-facto president, Valerie Jarrett. Including a Congress that does not impeach, convict, and expel from office. Including the electorate.

Act4v32 One in Soul

Forum Feuds vs. One in Soul - J :) 
Act 4:32 KJV And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul [...]
From a forum post (Screen-names changed to protect the innocent.): http://j.mp/7ForumFeuds or http://forums.delphiforums.com/kath/messages/?msg=220708.119
I thank God for your post. It is a model description of persistent back and forth complex interchanges in these forums.
And, Lord willing, I will remember and use your Wesley quote:
"In essentials, unity. In non-essentials, liberty. In all things, charity."
The blessing of the forums is the ability to freely express ones thoughts and feeling.
And at times the spirit of that life which is only found in Christ Jesus becomes marvelously evident.
The regular local gatherings of the Assembly are the place where the unity of heart and soul of the begotten again may be best manifested as it was in the beginning in Jerusalem.
The sort of regular gatherings of believers to remember the Lord's death that I now attend are noted for hospitality.
Sharing meals in one another's homes is perhaps the best way to get to know one another.
And much spiritual fellowship is established by individual praise and prayer in the regular gatherings sharing the broken loaf and the cup.

Earlier poll background info:
Acts 5:29 KJV Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.
"Obama will be historic for his fanatical leftism, which has no precedent in American history. [...] The left is a revolutionary cult, one that has no compunctions about violations of laws or human rights [...] Everything depends on telling the truth, and you and I must take full responsibility for doing so. Nobody else will do it for us." - Excerpts from article copied and linked below.
American Thinker: Articles: Dangerous Times: Obama the Betrayer http://bit.ly/1zfNluy By James Lewis
"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
Which of those solemn promises has Barack H. Obama not betrayed?
I can't think of a single one.
If Obama is different from other presidents, it's not for the color of his skin, which is just a PR hustle to blackmail suckers into proving they aren't racists. No: Obama will be historic for his fanatical leftism, which has no precedent in American history. The biggest headline is Obama's ideology, not his race.
The left is a revolutionary cult, one that has no compunctions about violations of laws or human rights – for what they imagine to be a utopian cause, of course. But every single power cult in history is all for love and peace – once it takes over. Head-chopping Muslims sing the song of love and peace just as well as the left.
Just consider two quotes.
Karl Marx, 1848: "… there is only one means to shorten, simplify and concentrate the murderous death throes of the old society and the bloody birth pangs of the new, only one means – revolutionary terrorism."
Vladimir Lenin, 1918: "the fundamental feature of the concept of dictatorship of the proletariat is revolutionary violence."
Terrorist killings of innocent civilians are exactly the same as deliberate murder under domestic criminal law. But the left has legitimized terrorism when it is directed against bourgeois society. That is the key to their moral perversion. That is also why Obama does not object to terrorism "as such." If he cared about Islamist terrorism in Syria, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and all the rest, he would also have to reject the Mau Mau terrorism that brought his dreamed-of father to power in Kenya. (Jomo Kenyatta quickly kicked him out of the post-colonial government.) In any case, Obama and the indoctrinated network that now controls the United States government consider terrorism "in a good cause" justifiable – which is why they do not mind 9/11/01 and the whole rise of jihad terrorism in the last forty years. If anything, the hard left wing of our foreign policy establishment is full of excuses for clear crimes against humanity.
So far, Obama has shown utter contempt for the U.S. Constitution, for our military, and for the crucial duties of the Department of Justice, the Border Patrol, and the IRS. The hard left at the core of the Democratic Party is essentially Obamanist, as expressed by Rep. Joe Garcia.
The real problem is therefore not a single human being called Obama, but an entire political apparatus that turns out Obamas like robots. Hillary is an Alinsky acolyte, and Alinsky was simply another revolutionary agitator – now called "community organizer" by our party-line press. Alinsky's biggest innovation was to make common cause with organized crime in Chicago.
Starting with the Arab oil embargo of the 1970s, radical Muslims joined the Alinsky axis to make the toxic triangle of revolution, criminal mafias, and reactionary Islamism.
The historian Bat Ye'or wrote in her book, Eurabia:
[Beginning in 1973,] the combination of a powerful Eurabian lobby with ... European political, media, and educational systems produced throughout the EU that uniform political thinking known as "political correctness"... Dissenters were harshly censured in universities, books, and the media.
Exactly the same media-political fear regime was implemented in the United States. These events were not coincidental. In many cases, we know exactly which politicians and media empires were bought by Gulf oil dollars. Starting with the Clintons, we have seen state mafias gain national power – first the Dixie Mafia, and now the Chicago Machine. Obama is simply the logical outcome of forty years of indoctrination in our politics, education, and media.
We can now see these toxic forces converging in the purposeful sabotage of our southern border. The Sinaloa cartel is the biggest drug cartel in Chicago, and it received weapons from our DOJ during the "Fast and Furious" smuggling program. Valerie Jarrett met with "immigration activists" (like La Raza) in the weeks before the assault on our border. Iran's terrorist arm Hezb'allah has agents colluding with drug mafias and people smuggling all over South America. Breaking down our southern borders serves all three.
It's impossible to know where Obama has done the most damage – at home or abroad. The Middle East is now breaking down into that much-feared regional war, with Russia, Syria, Iran, Turkey, and Iraq converging on the Saudi- and Qatar-supported murder gangs of ISIS and ISIL, which now number in the tens of thousands. To add to the turmoil, the United States has helped to supply and train AQ barbarians in Jordan and Turkey, to join their bloodstained brothers wherever they decide to strike next.
All these bloody disasters can be attributed to U.S. and European policies in support of Islamofascist radicals. Jimmy Carter allowed Ayatollah Khomeini to take power in Iran, which is now within weeks of possessing a nuclear bomb. Western politicians like Jacques Chirac enabled Saddam Hussein in Europe and the U.N., leading directly to suicidal immigration flows of millions of Muslims from the badlands of Pakistan to all the capitals of Europe. The EU supported the Turkish Islamofascist party of Recip ErdoÄŸan, now fighting the Turkish Salafist party. The Clintons failed to pursue Osama bin Laden after the first World Trade Center bombing in New York in 1993. Major money flows have been going from the ultra-radical Muslim Brotherhood to the Carter and Clinton centers.
But it took Obama to betray Egypt's Mubarak, the single greatest pillar of peace in the Middle East for four decades. It was Obama who overthrew Gaddafi, and dissolved Libya into a bloody civil war that still continues. It was Obama who directed Ambassador Stevens to smuggle vast quantities of Libyan arms to the Syrian rebels, including the worst of the worst, the Al Nusrah gang, which killed children in the Christian village of Ma'aloula. It was Obama who supported the rise of the MBs in Egypt – the very people who assassinated Anwar Sadat forty years ago for making peace with Israel. Today, it is Obama who is preparing to surrender Afghanistan to the woman-hating Taliban, and who is refusing to help our U.S.-promoted Baghdad government to ward off the latest assault by primitive savages.
(Baghdad is now getting jet planes from Russia and an invading army from Iran and Syria, whose loyalties nobody knows. But they sure don't like us.)
In sum, Obama has presided over the most malignant foreign policy in U.S. history.
This is not an accident. This policy was planned and executed by radical leftists like Susan Rice and Valerie Jarrett, corrupt media barons like the New York Times, and Islamofascists like John Brennan. They include the same Big Media corporations that control our "mainstream" media. They also include famous Silicon Valley high-tech companies like Apple and Google, who support Obama's Progressive Policy Institute, and George Soros, who supports the anti-Israel front group J Street. Google's vice president for North African sales was indeed directly involved in agitating for the Arab Spring, which our media simultaneously discovered and headlined, only to lead to Muslim Brotherhood despotism in Egypt.
It is very hard to know if we will come out of this mad state of affairs intact. America has teetered on the edge of Marxist disaster once before in its history, during the FDR and Truman years, when the fruits of the Manhattan Project were instantly transmitted to Stalin in Moscow, who was able to explode his own copycat bomb as early as 1949. Leftist betrayal is not new, nor is it unusual.
If you believe delusionally that the "bourgeois" nation-state is the enemy of all that is good and decent, and that destroying it will bring about utopia, smuggling nuclear secrets to Jozef Stalin becomes a great gift to humanity. Once you accept delusional cult beliefs, the end simply justifies the means. And delusional cults are a dime a dozen in human history.
As the Wall Street Journal wrote this week:
The American image has been tarnished by the progressives who took control of the U.S. government in 2009. They set about to expand the state's power, which was exactly what had destroyed the productive drive and creative skills of the post-World War II Russians and Chinese. They made a hash of health insurance, grossly distorted finance and destroyed personal savings by manipulation of the credit markets. They conducted a war on fossil fuels, handing a victory to Russia, which uses its hydrocarbon exports to exercise political influence in Europe. They weakened the dollar by running up huge national debts and wasted the nation's substance on silly projects like "fighting global warming."
Obama's mentors shared a bitter hatred for middle-class values, starting with his mother and father, followed by his Muslim madrassa teachers in Jakarta, then Frank Marshall Davis in Hawaii, on and on, culminating in Jerry Wright, who calls our culture of freedom and productive work "middleclassness" – a direct translation of Marx's "bourgeoisie," the enemy that must be destroyed.
What is different about the Obama left is not the basic doctrine of revolutionary destruction. What's different is the new alliance between the radical left and jihadist Islam. According to Bat Ye'or, that alliance goes back to the 1970s, after the Arab oil embargo, when Wahhabi and Khomeinist Muslims started to buy politicians by the barrel in Europe and America. Obama is the culmination of decades of Muslim influence-buying, which now controls much of our media, politics, and educational system.
Today, we are seeing that alliance emerge in the Muslim world, where the Western left has consistently supported murderous jihadist movements and regimes.
Obama has supported mass-killing regimes in the Middle East against more moderate, stabilizing rulers: Mubarak, Gaddafi (much better than today's civil war in Libya), Maliki (ditto for Iraq), Karzai (ditto for Afghanistan). Instead, Obama consistently favors al-Qaeda-linked killer gangs in Syria and the biggest sponsor of terrorism, Iran. His treatment of our longtime allies has been atrocious. Betrayal is his middle name.
The hokey "spontaneous" immigrant wave of children and criminals is just another example of hard-left agitprop – in this case culminating in massive, deliberate child endangerment and probable abuse.
Obama's self-appointed mission in life is to destroy the most productive and beneficial culture in history. Obama personally taught Alinsky's Rules to his ACORN followers, and Alinsky called us "the enemy." That word is used in war, and radicals like Obama and Malcolm X are bitter warlike agitators. (The old word for "community organizer" was "communist agitator"). Radicals like Obama read their revolutionary heroes literally, just like any Bible-quoting fundamentalist preacher.
The civilized world has a great ability to recover from disaster, as it showed three times in the last century. But each time the resistance has had to be led by those who tell the truth. Sane and sensible people today cannot rely on our twisted media, and we cannot believe our broken politicians. We have new web technologies at our fingertips that allow us to throw out the bums – be they RINOs, leftist radicals, or Islamofascists. Eventually our confused voters will figure it out – but don't expect other people to make it happen.
Everything depends on telling the truth, and you and I must take full responsibility for doing so. Nobody else will do it for us.

Rev20v15 Hell as Uncreation

Hell Uncreated In 3 Hours – J :) 
Rev 20:15 KJV And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
Some thoughts:
One. Hell is separate from both the present and the new creation. Hell might be termed an un-creation since it has been emptied of the presence of the God in whom all men presently, in this creation, live and move and have their being.
Two. Hell was un-created during the three hours of darkness during the Crucifixion. In order to be forsaken our Lord had to be in a place where God was not.
Three. Our Lord took all the sin, and sins, and fallen human spirits of the world to hell and left them there.
Four. When the reprobate dead are thrown into hell at the Great White Throne judgment they will be reunited with their fallen spirits and their sin and their sins.
Thoughts above from a forum post copied in full below: http://j.mp/7Uncreate or http://forums.delphiforums.com/jesus7/messages/?msg=35792.40
{{_ [...] The only question, then is how we UNDERSTAND the nature of hell and the nature of the suffering of those in hell.
{{_ If Hell is not a literal "place" that is devoid of God (because there is no place where God is not), then we must understand it as a
STATE OF BEING, rather than as a location.  The Soul is RELATIONALLY separated from God BY THEIR OWN CHOICE. [...]
{{_ Therein, I must then contend that perhaps people DO want to "go to hell" in that sense, because what they want is to be AWAY from God.  Being free of God's rule is in fact what is at the very HEART of what SIN is.  Sin is "self will run riot".  It is the desire to "call our souls our own".  And to be able to say to God, "this is OURS, not yours".  The very core of what sin is is ultimately the desire to run our OWN lives apart from God.  That is what Adam and Eve ultimately did when they took the fruit from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.  "Did God really say...?" the Serpent asked them.  They questioned God's wisdom, and they took into their own hands their own lives and fates and did what THEY wanted to do FOR THEMSELVES.  They wanted to do something independently of God.  They wanted to BE independent from God. [...]
{{_ God punishes no one.  Suffering in hell is simply the natural result of being separated from the only source of satisfaction for the innermost needs and longings of a human soul.  God designed us to need him.  Without God, we ARE in hell.  Hell is being relationally separated from God for all eternity and suffering because we were never MEANT to live like that. [Emphasis in original.] }}
__ Many, many thanks for your post. The last paragraph, copied above is a great summation but it is all very fine. Best post, by far, on hell that I have read during a decade or two on the internet.
__ Some thoughts that may be new to you.
One. Hell is separate from both the present and the new creation. Hell might be termed an un-creation since it has been emptied of the presence of the God in whom all men presently, in this creation, live and move and have their being.
Two. Hell was un-created during the three hours of darkness during the Crucifixion. In order to be forsaken our Lord had to be in a place where God was not.
Three. Our Lord took all the sin, and sins, and fallen human spirits of the world to hell and left them there.
Four. When the lost are thrown into hell at the Great White Throne judgement they will be reunited with their fallen spirits and their sin and their sins.
__ May we be true to our calling:
2Co 2:14-17 KJV  Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.  (15)  For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish:  (16)  To the one we are the savour of death unto death; and to the other the savour of life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things?  (17)  For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.

Mat28v19 3 Persons 3 states

Mat28v19 Trinity 3 Persons 3 States – J : ) 
Mat 28:19 KJV Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
\\ Great question. I always liked the water, ice and steam description. One material 3 forms, //
Thanks for the post. I had never before heard of the very apt parallel of the solid, liquid, and gaseous states of a single molecular structure.
The parallel positions of the Three Persons with this molecular state triad may be difficult to discern at first.
But it is a parallel that I have long contemplated, with advantages, in connection with three of the four philosophic substances - earth, water, air, fire.
The Holy Spirit is to be connected to solids. It is He who personally indwells the body of every believer. He represents the immanent aspect of deity, sustaining the entire created universe. In Him all men live and move and have their being.
The Father, representing God as the Father of spirits (including both all men's original-soon-fallen human spirits and the begotten-again human spirits of believers, as well as angelic beings), is to be associated with the gaseous state. (With air and outer space more than water vapor, but all parallels have their limitations. They are not identities.) His dwelling is in the third heaven, beyond the heaven of clouds and the heaven of stars, sun, moon and planets. He represents the transcendent aspect of deity - separate from the created universe - representing special superlative form of separateness or holiness.
The Son is to be associated with the liquid state. The redemptive power of God is in His Blood. The spirit and the Bride cry "Come!". All who hear and are athirst and who are willing to come to Him and to drink may be saved eternally by the Water of Life.

1Ki12v20 Trump bad

1Ki12v20 Do emotions Trump facts? - J : )
1Ki 12:20 KJV And it came to pass, when all Israel heard that Jeroboam was come again, that they sent and called him unto the congregation, and made him king over all Israel: there was none that followed the house of David, but the tribe of Judah only.
__ The tribe of Judah had a better future.
__ The best opening bid may well be: “4 no trump”, particularly when the partnership holds a long solid suit of Cruz.
__ The other party might well be regarded as the cultural sons of strangers - Marx, Stalin, and Mao - with no place in the congregation of the chosen.
__ “The problem with political jokes is that too many of them get elected.” - Will Rodgers
__ Thomas Sowell is perhaps the top serious economic, political, and cultural commentator of our times.
Thomas Sowell - Do Emotions Trump Facts?
Those of us who like to believe that human beings are rational can sometimes have a hard time trying to explain what is going on in politics. It is still a puzzle to me how millions of patriotic Americans could have voted in 2008 for a man who for 20 years -- TWENTY YEARS -- was a follower of a preacher who poured out his hatred for America in the most gross gutter terms.
Today's big puzzle is how so many otherwise rational people have become enamored of Donald Trump, projecting onto him virtues and principles that he clearly does not have, and ignoring gross defects that are all too blatant.
There was a time when someone who publicly mocked a handicapped man would have told us all we needed to know about his character, and his political fling would have been over. But that was before we became a society where common decency is optional.
Yet there are even a few people with strong conservative principles who have lined up with this man, whose history has demonstrated no principles at all, other than an ability to make self-serving deals, and who has shown what Thorstein Veblen once called "a versatility of convictions."
With the Iowa caucuses coming up, it is easy to understand why Iowa governor Terry Branstad is slamming Trump's chief rival, Senator Ted Cruz, who has opposed massive government subsidies to ethanol, which have dumped tons of taxpayer money on Iowa for growing corn. Iowa's Senator Charles Grassley has come right out and said that is why he opposes Senator Cruz.
Former Senator Bob Dole, an establishment Republican if ever there was one, has joined the attacks on Ted Cruz, on grounds that Senator Cruz is disliked by other politicians.
When Senator Dole was active, he was liked by both Democrats and Republicans. He joined the long list of likable Republican candidates for president that the Republican establishment chose-- and that the voters roundly rejected.
With both establishment Republicans and anti-establishment Republicans now taking sides with Donald Trump, it is hard to see what principle-- if any-- is behind his support.
Some may see Trump's success in business as a sign that he can manage the economy. But the great economist David Ricardo, two centuries ago, pointed out that business success did not mean that someone understands economic issues facing a nation.
Trump boasts that he can make deals, among his many other boasts. But is a deal-maker what this country needs at this crucial time? Is not one of the biggest criticisms of today's Congressional Republicans that they have made all too many deals with Democrats, betraying the principles on which they ran for office?
Bipartisan deals -- so beloved by media pundits -- have produced some of the great disasters in American history.
Contrary to the widespread view that the Great Depression of the 1930s was caused by the stock market crash of 1929, unemployment never reached double digits in any of the 12 months that followed the stock market crash in October, 1929.
Unemployment was 6.3 percent in June 1930 when a Democratic Congress and a Republican president made a bipartisan deal that produced the Smoot-Hawley tariffs. Within 6 months, unemployment hit double digits -- and stayed in double digits throughout the entire decade of the 1930s.
You want deals? There was never a more politically successful deal than that which Neville Chamberlain made in Munich in 1938. He was hailed as a hero, not only by his own party but even by opposition parties, when he returned with a deal that Chamberlain said meant "peace for our time." But, just one year later, the biggest, bloodiest and most ghastly war in history began.
If deal-making is your standard, didn't Barack Obama just make a deal with Iran -- one that may have bigger and worse consequences than Chamberlain's deal?
What kind of deals would Donald Trump make? He has already praised the Supreme Court's decision in "Kelo v. City of New London" which said that the government can seize private property to turn it over to another private party.
That kind of decision is good for an operator like Donald Trump. Doubtless other decisions that he would make as president would also be good for Donald Trump, even if for nobody else.[My emphasis,]
