Kurt Schlichter: "The Obnoxious and Important Questions I Would Ask At The GOP Debate."

On behalf of all infuriated conservatives, I demand the right to interrogate the candidates myself. I get to ask a question and a follow-up, and here are the rules. First, answer the damn question. It insults me when you think I’ll somehow forget what I asked, so bewitching is your oratory. Second, answer, then stop talking. If you use more words than the Gettysburg Address (272) you are so, so very wrong. Third, no clichés. If you use the phrase “for the children,” I get to slap you.

On a side note. I find it odd that so many people seem to believe that the election is about electing a new king. Vote harder. That seems to be working so far.

"How can I be sure you will do the most important thing a president must do – relentlessly and ruthlessly kill America’s enemies?"

That is NOT the most important thing a president must do. The MOST important thing a president must to is relentlessly and ruthlessly uphold, defend, protect, and ENFORCE the Constitution against ALL enemies, foreign AND domestic!

THAT will go a LONG way toward addressing the "enemies" issue.; September 14, 2015 at 10:53 AM

As a plain capitalist commander in chief, I would view soldiers, airmen, sailors and soldiers as pieces of wealth, treasure, monetary units. Now, before people go full stupid on that comment, just listen. As that capitalist, I look for profits, not losses. I like to win, I play to win. I want more and more and more profits, more wins. I don't accept losing even one of those pieces. If I view each of them as an investment, I want my return! The last thing I want is to lose any of them.

Call me greedy, you lefty lickspittles, but I actually value my military personnel! Indeed, this remains true when they are out of the service too. As such, Vets will see their own investments, their service, rewarded with the proper dividends. Period. To demonstrate it plainly, if there is any budget passed out of congress that does not properly fund both active military and retired veterans affairs, well then, it will get my veto pen scribbled all over it - over and over until congress does the right thing.

You see, as a capitalist greedy rich businessman, I play to win, which is why I do win. I will win and the vets will win because of it. Active duty members will win as a result too. See, like our border, if we do not take care of, protect and defend, our military and its membership - we don't have a country. If we don't have country, a nation, we won't have anything else for very long.

I will not risk even one life on a bad deal. I will not hesitate to invest treasure in order to bring more treasure to life. As the CEO of the military, I will listen to my top generals best advice, coming from all sides - and then I will ask those same commanders to make the case for the opposite of their best recommendations. I will then apply the capitalist mindset with all that information in mind. What is the benefit, the win, the success, the deal, for America? I will ask. What is the detriment....to her AND her people. As a successful capitalist knows, most proper decisions, the correct answers, reveal themselves once conservative first principles of family, country and God are all applied in due and proper measure to the right questions asked.

Any more questions?; September 14, 2015 at 11:00 PM

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
