Confessions of a Republican

I grew up in St. Louis Mo in a family of well-informed Republican conservatives. I read “American Communist Goals” when I was age 10. We were opposed to Roosevelt’s socialist programs. I liked Harry Truman in 1948. We liked Ike in 1952 and Nixon in 1960.

I wasn’t old enough to vote in 1960 and probably would have voted for Nixon, but after Kennedy won I was ok with him. I liked what Kennedy did lowering taxes, advancing the private sector economy, going after the Mafia and handling the Russians. Kennedy’s instincts about Vietnam were correct. Kennedy was one of the last conservative Democrats.

I never liked Lyndon Johnson and neither did Kennedy. But when Kennedy was assassinated and Johnson took over I knew we were in for trouble. I lived in Texas in the 1940s when Lyndon was stuffing ballot boxes. Everything Johnson did as President turned out to be a disaster.

I was a Barry Goldwater fan and voted for him in 1964.  I read “Conscience of a Conservative” in 1964. Lyndon Johnson’s atom bomb ad beat Goldwater.

I voted for Nixon in 1968 and 1972 and Ford in 1976. I was sick of inflation and knew it was due to money printing by the Federal Reserve and Congress monetizing the debt. I blamed the federal government for the inflation scam.

I blamed Lyndon Johnson’s overspending for pushing inflation to 13%. I watched welfare rules destroy black families and Communist instigated race riots. The 10 year long Vietnam War was an expensive mistake.

Carter beat Ford in 1976 and he supported the Palestinian scam, invited terrorism from Iran and increased inflation.

I read “Free to Choose” by Milton Friedman in 1980. I was a big Reagan supporter in 1980 and 1984. I was never a fan of George HW Bush, but I voted for him in 1989 and he did a great job in the Gulf War in 1990, but when he signed a raft of unnecessary laws and regulations and signed on to UN Agenda 21 in 1992 I was done.  I voted for Ross Perot in 1992 because I was anti-UN new world order and anti-NAFTA.

We got Clinton in 1992 and 1996. Bob Dole lost to Clinton in 1996 because his campaign was lame. Clinton tried Hillary Care and failed, but Clinton signed the Community Reinvestment Act in 1993 that would cause the 2008 Mortgage Meltdown in 2008. Clinton also signed the executive order to implement UN Agenda 21 in the US, setting up the loss of $trillions on this treason.

George W Bush won in 2000 and became a war-president in 2001. The wars in the Middle East doubled the national debt from $5 trillion to $10 trillion. Bush also fell asleep at the switch and failed to prevent the 2008 Mortgage Meltdown It was an unnecessary financial disaster.

I had moved to Atlanta in 1983 and met quite a few Conservative Reagan Democrats. I voted for Zell Miller in 1990 and 1994 for governor and again in 2000 for US Senate.

In 2008, the American Communist Party formally took control of the Democrat Party with the election of Obama. I knew by reading “The Enemies Within” by Treavor Louden that the American Communist Party had been writing federal Bills and sending them through the labor unions to their Democrats in Congress to advance socialism in the US.

Republicans nominated John McCain in 2008 and Mitt Romney in 2012 and both campaigns were lame.

Obama was hired by Soros and the UN Marxist Globalists to advance UN Agenda 21 implementation in the US and he doubled the national debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion.

Trump took over in 2016. I became a Trump supporter while watching the first Presidential Debate conducted by Fox News. Trump destroyed political correctness like Roundup. He addressed every issue regular Americans were angry about. He started addressing these issues on 1/1/17 and he is winning.

I have been a Republican and a Catholic all my life. I therefore have developed a very high tolerance for pain. We have had bad Republicans and bad Popes.

I believe the Democrat Party is in serious need of repair. I am not confident they will survive and believe they are all nuts. I am not happy with the Republican Establishment candidates for governor of Georgia, Cagle and Kemp. But I will certainly vote for one of them. I won’t be voting for any Democrats any time soon.
