A Joke... "The Donad"

Birthplace of Independent Conservatism

I am guessing there is the possibility as I post the following video I do so at  great peril to the health of this site. However, those that regularly read Rational Nation USA already understand the site is not a supporter of  "The Donald."  A man that is as blatantly opportunistic and as self centered an individual {in the worst possible way}, as anybody we can think of.

When the Objectivist  considers "The Donald" they certainly don't find objective and rational thought. The sooner he fades away the better.

As is proper {and right}, Rational Nation give a huge h/t to Progressive Eruptions for the following video.


Those of independent and objective thought should seriously consider the candidacy of Gary Johnson.

    As you're an Objectivist - let me ask you this? - you must find Trump's all-promotion-no-product brand of "capitalism" funny at best? No?

    Can you see that if people really take this jackass seriously, we as a society had better be careful with the welfare state? We're gonna need it.

    Gary Johnson is a dope smoker, and that will hurt his chances. I like what the man believes and he has a successful track record he can point to. I lived in New Mexico for five years, I have friends there and I go back to visit periodically. He did a great job as governor

    I'm looking at Trump as the dark horse.

    Rove and the beltway GOP puppets hate Trump because why? Because he might, (note: might), actually present a better case than their best. Remember, it was the beltway GOP that saddled everyone with McCain. I have very little faith in their ability to determine anything at this point. Their desire to simply win so they can gain power is eclipsing their values, or supposed values I should say.

    Don't get me wrong: Trump is an odd one. However, in the times I have heard him speak recently he has gained my attention simply because he is a non-politician possibly looking to gain an elected office. Interesting. Is he teflon? Heck no. The lame stream media will be on him faster than Gary Hart on an intern.

    But....

    I'm not ready, just yet, to discount the impact this fella might have on the GOP.

    Just an observation. NOT an endorsement. There are still some acts left in this play, and I am looking forward to each and every one of them.

    Given his polls, one wonders if there
    is a reprise of the 160 year old
    KnowNothing Party....

Our Biggest Creditor {China} Tells Us "The good old days of borrowing are over"

( Reuters ) - Global leaders on Saturday arranged a round of emergency calls to discuss the twin debt crises in Europe and the United States that are causing turmoil in financial markets . After a week that saw $2.5 trillion wiped off global stock markets, they are under pressure to show political leadership and reassure markets that Western governments have both the will and ability to reduce their huge and growing public debt loads. French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who chairs the G7/G20 group of leading economies, conferred with Britain's Prime Minister David Cameron ahead of a call planned for this weekend by G7 finance ministers and central bankers. "They discussed the euro area and the U.S. debt downgrade. Both agreed the importance of working together, monitoring the situation closely ...

When and How Will it End?

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Birthplace of Independent Conservatism This is America. We are an English speaking nation. We have distinct and traditional American cultural values. We have some Americans in our population who have difficulty speaking a coherent sentence. We have many who cannot construct a complete and proper sentence. Yet we find the time and the money to educate youth in Arabic and Arabic culture. Mind you this is a Federal Grant program and limited to only five select school districts. At least for now. At a cost of 1.3 millions dollars students on these select district will be required,  you heard {read} right, required as mandatory part of their curriculum to learn Arabic. This is a blatant abuse of taxpayer money, and it is indicative of the future course our nation has embarked upon under the fuzzy, misguided, and incredibly deceitful anti leade...

Thoughts On the Civil War and What Precipitated It...

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation U S A Purveyor of Truth Over at Contra O'Reilly Will Hart has been running a interesting series on the Civil War and what the primary causes were. Historians continue to disagree with the root, or primary causes. However it is generally accepted among knowledgeable and unbiased experts that slavery had very little to do with the onset of the War Between the States. Causes were primarily economic and constitutional. Will, in his posts has done a good job of pointing this out with supporting documentation. This site offers the following, a July 2013 article by David Hirsch in support of Will Hart's arguments. Arguments this site wholly concurs with. Arthur Hirsch's recent article about the Battle of Gettysburg reveals a disturbing ignorance of the political dynamics that brought this nation to a war that 150 years later remains the most cataclysmic event in our history ("A defining day relived," July 2). It accepts the sh...
