The Constitution set up a system to protect rights and organize government based on human nature. The founders studied human nature and government far more thoroughly and carefully than any person now living. Human nature hasn't changed, and there are no fundamentally different forms of government that have been introduced since the Constitution.
I don't care, because they're dead, we're in charge, and the world is different.
And you're so shallow I wouldn't get my feet wet stepping in your soul.
A radical is someone who organizes his policies consistently from fundamental roots. (Radical derives from a Latin word meaning root.) There is nothing inherently wrong with being a radical if your policies are properly derived from good roots. The Tea Party is more radical than diffuse groups like Democrats and Republicans
Right wing is one of the basic choices available, the others being Left wing, and various bits of confusion/moderation/indifference/etc. I'd argue that right wing is a good thing, but that's time consuming and not my point. The Tea Party is Right Wing.
Far more so than Democrats, Republicans, or most any large group you can name, Tea Partiers are decent people and not racist. Their basic decency can be seen by comparing their rallies with those of other organizations; Tea Party meetings leave behind neither damage nor scattered garbage. There are loons who believe that saying "all lives matter" is racist, and it takes that level of looniness to believe that the Tea Party is racist.
Trump is very loudly pointing out the egregious problems that many people see, and that's a large part of his success. Other parts are claiming "I can fix it" and when forced to say how he'll fix it, naming something bold.
The flaws that hopefully will bring him down are that his "fixes" are frequently nonexistent, unworkable, wrongheaded, or missing a critical component.
Too many politicians are narcissists (Obama, for example) who believe that people will do as he wishes because he's so charming and obviously wonderful. Trump's different, Trump believes that people will do as he wishes because he can gain psychological leverage through intimidation, rudeness, brashness and raw intelligence, backed up by money. Obama was half right domestically, but failed at foreign affairs. Trump's approach, backed by the US's power, may succeed against our enemies, but whether it will work domestically among those he's supposed to be helping is an open question.
Cutting off the quote the way you did is flagrantly dishonest.
Trump is a nasty man deserving truckloads of criticism and japes. Lying about him only undercuts the opposition he so richly deserves.
Executive orders aren't law, but they have the force of law and are worse because there's no public discourse, no debate, no delay between public knowledge and going into effect, inferior checks and balances, etc.. Properly, an executive order should be the president commanding to federal agencies the implementation of existing law. Under Obama, it has been become commands to everyone flouting existing law.
Open primaries allow a party to promote the worst member of the opposition. If both parties succeed in this effort, the result is the two worst candidates running in the final election. Hooray! Everybody loses.
People willing to pool their resources for the common good is what a free market accomplishes.
People willing to pool their resources for their own good occurs in a free market. That this results in the common good is natural and nice, but not fundamental. The rights of the individual (which are the only rights that exist) are above the claims of the common.
A birth certificate in your hand proves that you have a birth certificate in your hand. It doesn't prove that it's yours. Voter fraud is a severe problem and Democrats are its master practitioners.
There is controversy as to whether the number is 666 or 616.
Your body will likely reject it as a foreign object at some point and will flush it out soon thereafter.
The RFID chip will be inserted under your skin, likely in a place where you can't remove it without a surgeon, who will be subject to severe government punishment if he does so. If it's not in your digestive tract, it's not going to be flushed out.
You're asking for logic from religion? Really?
The post you're replying to says only the father knows. The trinity relation is: The son is not the father. The father is not the holy ghost. The holy ghost is not the son. The son is god. The father is god. The holy ghost is god.
Thus does Christianity deny the transitive property of equality. It would be more fun if they also denied the reflexive property, but perhaps that would be too much for even a religious mind.
If the Feds hadn't been stealing Grandma's money for the last 50 years, she could afford to pay for her own retirement.
Let's assume we have a society of 10 people. Which society will generate more wealth, with which it can fund its retirement: the society where 10 people consume and 10 people work, or the society where 10 people consume, 9 people work and 1 person collects but does not invest a large portion of the other's production?
If you're a leftist, you claim that the latter society is better, and you're either a liar or a fool.
Unions are leftist and they're been destroyed because leftism is inherently self-destructive. That in no way implies that the people who have ruined their own lives through unionism have given up their suicidal beliefs.
The US business environment is already well beyond the point where increased regulations and taxes obviously do damage to businesses, their employees and customers. Except for people as stupid and vicious as Obama, Pelosi, and Reid, acting to make things worse is unlikely to happen.
Business taxes in the US are already the highest in the industrialized world. That's already a locally maximum leftist condition; are you implying that to really be "left" corporate taxes have to be raised indefinitely? If so, that reinforces the (correct) claim that a leftist can never be satisfied, meeting his demands only provides an opportunity for him to make worse demands.
All big cities have good neighborhoods. The difficult and important thing is to find a big city without bad neighborhoods. Philly fails that test, as does any big city dominated by leftists (generally Democrats.)
Who was stupid enough to leave the robot in Philly? If it had made it to rural western New York State or rural western Pennsylvania, the odds are good it would have made it to within 50 miles of the west coast (especially if it wasn't left in some slum). National and State parks would have been good way stations.

You are astonishing. 13 lies and 2 bad things presented as good in only 148 words.

The Prime Minister of Israel does have veto power over US policies inside Israel, Obama's Jew-hating wishes to the contrary notwithstanding.

Neither Clinton nor Obama care the least bit about what's best for the country.
The phenomenon of blacks voting for Obama because he's black is already well documented.
I suppose it's possible that you're ignorant and naive, but it's far more likely that you're a malicious liar.
If you're too fucking lazy to get a voter ID you shouldn't be voting. You also shouldn't be eating, you're a drag on humanity.

During the Vietnam War, it was SOP for leftists to cheer Viet Cong victories, especially if they involved American deaths.
Hatred of a free America is almost exclusively a property of the American left.
Don't you mean plutocracy?

Rich people create more value than the poor do. How hard they work is only marginally relevant.
