This article is a statement of the facts, and is not meant to, or intended to, be interpreted as a political endorsement, or lack thereof, of any political candidate. Family Security Matters takes no political point of view whatsoever. 

On April 26, 2016 Breitbart published Brent Bozell's open letter asking Sarah Palin, Ben Carson, Mike Huckabee, Phyllis Schlafly and other conservatives to withdraw their endorsements of Donald Trump.

Mr. Bozell, you ask "Does Donald Trump mean a word he says?"

Well, Mr. Bozell, we already know that the Republican Party doesn't mean a word that it says.

For example, prior to the 2014 mid-term elections, Reince Priebus, the chairman of the Republican National Committee, speaking about Barack Obama's executive amnesty, said: "We will do everything we can to make sure it doesn't happen: Defunding, going to court, injunction. You name it. It's wrong. It's illegal. And for so many reasons, and just the basic fabric of this country, we can't allow it to happen and we won't let it happen. I don't know how to be any stronger than that. I'm telling you, everything we can do to stop it we will."

After the 2014 election, when voters gave his party control of Congress, the Republicans "rewarded" their constituents by enthusiastically facilitating the funding and implementation of Obama's "illegal" executive amnesty.

According an article in the left-wing outlet Politico and reported by Breitbart, Republican House Speaker John Boehner held secret negotiations with Democrat Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, leading up to his decision to flip-flop and fund Obama's executive amnesty; including a pre-hashed out deal to use the hoopla around Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's March 3, 2015 address to Congress over Iran's nuclear ambitions as political cover to sneak in the extraordinarily controversial vote.

As part of this effort, the former chiefs of staff to House Speaker John Boehner and Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus, through a group called the American Action Network, spent $400,000 for advertisements aimed at pressuring House conservatives to support Obama's executive amnesty and fund it in its entirety through the end of the fiscal year.

On the same day as Netanyahu's speech, the Republican-led House of Representatives caved to the demands of Democrats and passed a "clean" Department of Homeland Security appropriations bill by 257-167 with a majority of Democratic votes. Seventy-five Republicans voted to pass the clean bill, 167 voted against passage. The measure provided full funding of the DHS through September 30th, the end of the federal fiscal year, leaving Obama's executive amnesty untouched.

In essence, the seventy-five Republicans, who joined all House Democrats to fund Obama's executive amnesty, aided and abetted the shredding of the Constitution by giving Obama the funding and future permission to rewrite federal law as he sees fit.

And what about Ted Cruz, the candidate you endorsed, Mr. Bozell?

Is it not Ted Cruz, who has joined the Republican establishment to thwart the will of the American people by back-room manipulation of the electoral process? Is that what you endorse, Mr. Bozell?

Was it not Ted Cruz, the candidate you endorsed, who voted in favor of the Corker/Cardin Amendment, which essentially "pre-approved" the Iran nuclear deal by turning the treaty provision of the Constitution on its head, changing ratification from the constitutionally-mandated 67-vote for approval to a 67-vote for denial?

Was it not Ted Cruz, the candidate you endorsed, who penned a Wall Street Journal op-ed with House Speaker Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) endorsing Obama's trade agenda -describing the TPP as an "historic" agreement that "would mean greater access to a billion customers for American manufacturers, farmers and ranchers?"

Like many in the Washington DC chattering class, Mr. Bozell, you just don't get it.

The November 2014 election was not an endorsement of the Republican Party, but a repudiation of Obama's dramatic expansion of government power. The voters demanded that Congress stop his fundamental transformation of America, restoring the Constitutional balance of power and ending the Executive Branch abuses against the citizenry. Yet, the Republican leadership and its toadies in Congress undercut that vote and became complicit in the enactment of Obama's unconstitutional policies.

And you speak about "sanity," Mr. Bozell? To paraphrase Albert Einstein, again trusting the Republican establishment and expecting different results would be insane.

Many Americans now believe that we are no longer citizens of a republic, but subjects of a reigning oligarchy composed of a self-absorbed permanent political class, which services the interests of wealthy financiers at the expense of the wider population. They maintain their authority by an ever-expanding and increasingly intrusive government and use a compliant media to manipulate public perception and opinion in order to maintain the illusion of democracy.

The two most important issues of the 2016 election are non-partisan.

(1)    The federal government and the media are, as institutions, hopelessly corrupt.

(2)    The United States has elections, but we no longer have representative government.

None of the problems facing the country can be solved effectively without first confronting those two issues. Any candidate addressing them directly will capture the majority of voters on both sides of the political center.

But let's be honest for a moment, Mr. Bozell. It is really not Donald Trump's words that the establishment fears, and it is not only the loss of political power, but they fear the revelations of past government conduct that might emerge, and the potential for investigation and prosecution.

Perhaps it is you, Mr. Bozell, who should do the "courageous thing," and stand with the American people and not with the corrupt political-media establishment.

    ALL MORONS who believe voting / letters / grievances / calls / meetings / protests / occupy / marches

    will kill current government tyranny , RAISE BOTH ARMS , YOU ARE A CAPTIVE  bound by the web of MSM deception / lies.

    NO PAC is working to save this Republic , 99% seek contributions / self gratification...

    HOWEVER , my assessment is that Donald Will strive to roadblock further killing of the Constitution and the Second

    Amendment...If elected , He should immediately appoint a like minded AG.

    The corrupt establishment directed by Global Elites Will not allow his election as POTUS.

    Best Case Scenario , Witch Hillary is indicted in June....She as POTUS will totally destroy this Republic...

    Donald , if nominated , should triple his security force...

    • I also believe that Mr. Trump will root out corruption and malfeasance.  This will, of course, ensure his early demise, much like what happened to Mr. Kennedy.  Failing that, the election will be openly farcical, giving the nod to Hillary.

    •  gary t Chisholm ; the Problem is : majority of Americans have an Attitude Problem : The I don`t care Attitude ; the so called Americans could care less about America , Illegals , Refugees , Elections ; the Kardashians , football and  other Crap is more Important ; majority don`t have a Clue about the Constitution ; college students don`t know about Legislative , Executive , Judiciary ; don`t know : why is it called Washington D.C. and Location . All they know is : sex , drugs , rap . and Austin Texas is A meat market of LGBT`s .
      You see : ALL MORONS who believe voting / letters / grievances / calls / meetings / protests / occupy / marches etc. etc. ; If WE had so called Morons ,1 Million , calling , writing , etc. etc. it would be a Different Story ; therefore WE go back to the " I don`t care Attitude " and America is going down the drain.

      • The total population of the USA is 319 million people, even if 3 million people signed petitions demanding strict adherence to the Constitution you would still have less than 1% of the population making this demand.  Not enough to concern the oligarchs in command of our Federal Government. 

        Face the facts people, the Constitutional Republic has ceased to exist and there appears no workable solution to restore it. 

        Maybe if Texas were to secede people might take notice and other states would join with Texas?

    • Indeed, Gary, Donald must triple his security force with loyal people. The identities of these "Global Elites" is becoming known, and the day may be approaching where we can take the fight to THEM. Wouldn't that be something to consider! These goons treat humanity as a Nintendo video game: this leader dies, this group will be eliminated, etc. And who the hell are they? Sniveling bullies with hired guns - plenty of them. But, they can be hurt, can bleed and suffer as anyone. When enough people understand this and that they are the source of all suffering to be eliminated, real progress will begin. Let's start with Soros and Obama's Evil Empire and work up to the cancer. Can we resolve that Justice Antonin Scalia will be the last decent man these pigs murder?  

  • Cruz does not mean what he says.

  • Brent Bozell used to be a Constitutionalist , that was many years ago ; he`s been bought , paid , brainwashed into a leftist confused liberal . Bozell is  The Good Old Boys Club : YOU Politicians are part of the GOOD OLD BOYS CLUB . You Politicians You talk big, but You won`t change anything. YOU are all controlled by the big-money donors. YOU are ALL owned by lobbyists, unions, lawyers, gigantic environmental organizations, and multinational corporations “ like Big Pharmacy or Big Oil. YOU are owned and CONTROLLED by Foreigners like George Soros or Foreign governments own Hillary and their Clinton Foundation donations .
    TRUMP CAN AND WILL RUIN EVERYTHING FOR THE BRIBED POLITICIANS , THEIR MASTERS AND THE GOOD OLD BOYS CLUB .
    No One can Buy Trump .

    "It is enough that people know there was an election.  The people who cast the votes decide nothing.  The people who count the votes decide everything." -- J. Stalin

    America has fallen from her once-great status and descended to the level of Stalin's U.S.S.R.  The tragedy is that the descent, rather than stopping, is accelerating downward.

    Where will it end?

    Probably with the complete destruction of one nation no longer under God.
