Changing Parties

[a completely inoffensive name]

It is well known to most of the old timers here who used to participate in Backroom discussions a lot that the Vuk is a very strong Conservative who votes Republican far more often than not, and has a great amount of respect for the Party for what it has done (defeating slavery, fascism, communism, etc). I don't think that a single other political party in US history has made even half of the positive contributions to this nation that the Grand Old Party has.
I have volunteered for them before, helped organize fundraising efforts for my county party, was invited as a special guest to a live primary debate and to the Wisconsin Republican convention. I have been pretty involved in wrapped up in the party, even though I have never been a registered Republican or identified as a Republican. Why haven't I officially become a Republican? Short answer: Trump.

I believe that you should be loyal to principles and morals, not to a Party. I knew that as unlikely as it seemed, there could well come a time when the Party that most represented my principles became a Party that opposed them. Unfortunately that has happened. The Republican Party has decided to embrace the racist, socialist, authoritarian fascism of Donald J. Trump. I can no longer in good conscience associate myself with this party. I have ceased all volunteer efforts and no longer consider myself in any way associated with this party. To me it is now just as evil and abhorrent as the Democrat Party has always been. Despite this horrible mistake, the Party has a rich and glorious history, and if it returns to its principles I may one day return to it.
For the time being though, I am choosing to associate myself with the Constitution Party (not officially of course, as I don't believe in that). Of all the parties out there, they best represent my beliefs now.

I will not choose between Hitler and Stalin. I would rather lose and oppose them both. I will not choose either evil.
Hillary and Clinton are part of the same group of socialists who want absolutely centralized power in the US. They are not picky about how they get it. They are giving us the choice between a communist and a fascist, and having us vote for whichever one we fear less. They are counting on us not realizing that they are working for the same side.
If we allow ourselves to be tricked into this false dichotomy, we will become like Europe. No offense to most of the Org, but in European countries you guys are given choices between parties that all want the same thing: complete government control and wealth redistribution, and you are fooled into believing you have a choice. You don't have a single choice that is not Socialism. That is what they are trying to do to America. They want to give us the choice between different flavors of Socialism to give us the illusion that we have choice and make us easy to manage cattle.

Write in, vote third party, do whatever seems to have the best chance to succeed as we get closer to election day. Do NOT choose evil. There will be no going back if we let them trick us into doing this.

I miss the good ole days of the GOP, when they respected the principles of smaller government through large increases in military spending and the creation of the TSA.

I think you forgot the Department of Homeland Security.

It was created in response to the September 11 attacks. In fiscal year 2011 it was allocated a budget of $98.8 billion and spent, net, $66.4 billion.
With more than 240,000 employees,[1] DHS is the third largest Cabinet department, after the Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs.[6]

(I know, in some ways it was just a new agency that was put atop already existing ones, but I'm sure it created a lot of additional jobs)
