Platform Please!






"I want my country back. I want the world's protector of freedom and liberty back. I am tired of being only a spectator to carnage and suffering..."



Glenn Beck has said many times. 2016 is it. All the cards are on the table. If we elect another squish like we did in 2008 and 2012, we are done as a country. Period. We need a platform we can all get behind. We need a platform we can all agree on. We need a platform well can convince the general public to believe in. That it is right. In other words, it needs to be very succinct and to the point.

For example, Syria is hell on Earth right now. And what is our national posture? Nothing. What is our party's posture? Nothing again. Refugees in almost record numbers are flooding into Europe. Many want to come here. Why? They can't live at home anymore, because they might be killed. Killed by a group of 14th century butchers.

If I had written a novel like this scenario in 1984, many would have thought it to be science fiction. It would have shown America to be a dystopian society. Nobody would have believed America would have let this happen. Never, never, ever. But it did.

If the Republicans really want to maintain being the Party of Lincoln, the party of political relevance, the party of liberty and freedom, it better get off it's prat and come up with a sound platform. Especially concerning the biggest threat this country has faced since World War II.

And why does this Islamic threat matter? If don't we counter it, ObamaCare, our almost $19 Trillion debt, the IRS scandal, the VA mess, our devalued dollar, Benghazi, Planned Parenthood, you name it - will not matter a wit.

What to do. First off, cancer, if not irradiated or treated with extreme chemo, will just continue to spread. In other words, if we don't go into Syria and Iraq and kill EVERY LAST ONE of these bad guys, it will at our peril. We need to restore the homeland of Syria and Iraq so these folks can go home. ISIS or ISIL or the Islamic State needs to be relegated to the history books.

Next, we need to go into Somalia and take care of Al Shaab. We need to let the Somalia people go home. They are not happy here. They have told us as much. We need to help them have a free homeland. If Al Shaab resists, they will suffer the same fate as ISIS.

Finally we will deal with Boko Haram. No more watching child trafficking from across the Atlantic. No more infanticide. No more kidnapping. You steal children, you rape children, you kill children, you die. Simple as that. 

Now. Does the Republican Party have the stones to come up a platform which reflects that reality? Like I said, this is for all the marbles. If you are not yet paying attention for 2016, you better be. And this is no joke.
