Republicans Aren't the Party of Reagan Any More

Thanks for the question. As you know, we have discussed immigration at length and shown what Reagan v. Bush said regarding allowing people to come into the United States to work. Then we talked about Bill Clinton and how he much his proposed solutions sound like the swill being bandied about by Trump:

Back in the days before the self proclaimed "Minutemen" (the modern iteration), Tea Party Republicans and MAGA, the patriots and constitutionalists opposed Martial Law even as immigration was a main topic:



In the Reagan and Bush years we were talking about different times and a different problem. "Amnesty" was never going to be a solution per se because who comes and goes within each state is a state issue not a federal one. The United States Supreme Court unilaterally decided to bring immigration into federal jurisdiction when the federal government only has constitutional jurisdiction over citizenship. There is NOHING in the Constitution which gives the federal government any jurisdiction over an unalienable Right and NOTHING forcing guest workers to be on a path toward citizenship just because they come here and work.


Outside of that issue what I'm seeing are flaming left wing liberals pretending to be Republicans only to make the entire Republican platform look idiotic. Take congresscritter, Lauren Boebert. Boebert marries a guy that was convicted of showing his genitals to young girls. Then, still married, Boebert dates a Democrat that owns a gay bar and she is seen fondling him at a play intended for audiences 10 and older. And she talks about Christian values! And then there is Kari Lake, a former Democrat that is on the MAGA bandwagon along with Marjorie Taylor Greene and Kelly Anne Conway who got divorced while working with Trump and you begin to get the picture that the Republican Party is under assault by a demonic force.

That doesn't make the Republican Party a good party. Initially the Republicans were the ones in favor of racial amalgamation. It was the Republicans that forced through the illegally ratified 14th Amendment. It was Abraham Lincoln, a Republican, that nominated Justice Samuel Miller to the United States Supreme Court and it was Justice Miller that delivered the Opinion of the Court in the 1875 case of Chy Lung v. Freeman that started the usurpation of power by the feds over who may come and go within each state.

The Establishment Republicans have been working hand in hand with globalists and today they are soft on bread and butter issues that were "conservative" fare in years past. Republicans have supported gun control, Martial Law and they passed the National ID / REAL ID Act - E Verify (taking us down the road toward a ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT.) The same Congressman that introduced the REAL ID Act, James Sensenbrenner, also introduced the so - called "Patriot Act," which started us down that road toward eliminating the Fourth Amendment and due process (and you know how much Trump despises due process - unless it's HIS due process in question.) This was not the case in the time period from the late 1970s until early 2000s. Back then you had "conservatives," moderates and Establishment Republicans. Ever since Reagan, the Democrats have pretended to jump ship and join the Republican Party and once there, they got the liberal / left's agenda passed without resistance. A good example is that Reagan, a former Democrat, got MAJOR gun control legislation signed into law. George Bush, an Establishment Republican, signed an Executive Order banning semi automatic firearms into the United States. George W. Bush, another Establishment Republican, said he would pass the so - called "Assault Weapons Ban" if Congress passed it and Donald Trump, a Democrat pretending to be a Republican, was the most anti- gun president in U.S. history until Lying Biden. Things are seldom what they seem. Few politicians in my lifetime were anything close to being constitutionalists.

I would almost concur except you left out moderates and populists. Moderates float between Establishment Republicans and fiscal conservatives / social liberals. The populists believe they are the pure people and that anyone that disagrees with them are part of the Global Elite One Worlders. Can they be any more screwed up!

The Globalists co-opted the Republican Party and now the MAGA crowd buys into a silly notion that they are some kind of force against the socialists when, in fact, they have picked up the mantle for socialists and communists and are fighting harder for that agenda than the Democrats do. The changing stance by the Republicans on issues like National ID, gun control, support of the Bill of Rights, citizenship versus guest workers in the immigration debate and cultural integrity are grim reminders that the conservatives and constitutionalists no longer have any power in the Republican Party.

It is eye opening to see who was against martial law and a militarized government a quarter of a century ago compared to today. Times did change. What many believed back then has been discarded. All of the conversation was based on a news story. Link. www.thenation.com/article/culture/birchers-matthew-dallek/

It did say that the MAGA movement can be traced to the John Birch Society. Would you comment on that article?

We need to talk about who the republicans really are. The republicans were the social liberals. It was the party of Lincoln that gave us the Fourteenth Amendment. The republicans signed the Sixteenth Amendment into law. It was conservative cough cough Ronald Reagan that made it illegal for civilians to have their own fully automatic firearms. Republicans repealed laws in the late 1800s that made interracial marriages illegal. In 1967 it was Chief Justice Warren that made interracial marriages legal. Warren was nominated by Eisenhower who was a republican.

Republicans have been the party of liberalism. When ex democrat Ronald Reagan ran as a conservative the masses went ape and under Reagan the worst left wing legislation in history at the time was passed. Not only did Reagan sign the worst antigun legislation in history he granted amnesty to 2.9 million foreigners that came here without papers. There is much more to say. It is now someone else turn.
