This guy is a gem. Deep historical knowledge, deep empathy for people, smart, honest, thumb on the pulse of most everything, and willing - if needed - to step on the throats of those that need stepping.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

If he ran as a Democrat he would easily win... Liberal robots would vote for him based entirely on the "D" next to his name. Would run a few commercials where he is shown disagreeing with Trump on something and poof they all love him. Some cross over Republicans and Independents would vote for him solely on his integrity and qualifications. Easy win and perhaps both sides win by electing a good man for the job.

Agree, he would be great, but convincing him to run is another story.

he’dnever ever get the democratic nomination. not in a zillion years. that party is a zillion miles to the left of where he is. and i can say that, without knowing where he is on almost anything. the party of code pink and antifa isn’t nominating mad dog matt is.

he would win all 50 states if they did nominate him, but they’re too far left.

He is a patriot. And he understands the Constitution. And he sure did give props to Trump in this video.

And he would win. I'd vote for him.

Sarcasm divided by previous odd statements plus context multiply by bias, carry the Zero...

Just because you don’t understand something doesn’t make it odd. And bias? Phew, I’m probably the most objective person here.
