Judy Morris – Libertarian Blogger

This video alerted me to a libertarian blogger I had never heard of before. Judy Morris.

She has a post giving some of the history of the Trump family.

…Donald Trump was lucky enough to grow up in comfort. The answer is that his grandfather was hardworking and successful immigrant who instilled those values into his son.

Trump’s grandfather immigrated from German to the US in 1885. He worked as a barber in NYC for 6 years according to Wikipedia, here. He moved to Seattle where he leased a storefront and opened a restaurant. He eventually opened hotels and restaurants in mining towns in Washington, British Colunbia and the Yukon Territories and yes his hotels-restaurants-bars were also viewed as brothels, a vital service in mining towns.

In 1901 Frederick Trump returned to Germany and married but he ran into troubles with the German government who accused him of leaving Germany to avoid taxes and conscripted military service, something any freedom loving, anti-statist Libertarian would cheer. In 1904 he returned to the US with his wife, baby and worked as a barber and restaurant manager. He lived in the Bronx and died of the flu in 1918 at the age of 49.

His son Fred (father of Donald Trump) started a business with Trump’s grandmother and widow of Frederick. They built modest homes in the Queens that sold for $3,900. They were very successful and expanded into commercial construction which was also successful. It’s that success that bought Fred the house in the Queens that seems to enrage folks like Cruz who object to the success of immigrants. Donald Trump’s grandfather was a hardworking entrepreneurial man who strove to achieve the American dream for his family. That dream and success was further magnified by Fred Trump.

The so-called silver spoon in Donald Trump’s mouth is a classic American immigrant success story that would generate praise had the successful immigrant been anybody but Trump’s grandfather and father.

Well isn’t that interesting. In the current environment Donald would be considered the grandson of a pimp.

Judy also has this bit which might explain why Cruz has not been doing well in the South. Evangelical territory.

Rafael Cruz has been the senator’s primary surrogate on the campaign trail, particularly with the evangelical voters who are now Ted Cruz’s base….

Historically, dominionism began as an offshoot of Christian Reconstructionism, the sect founded in the 1960s by defender-of-slavery R.J. Rushdoony that seeks to replace secular law with Biblical law, stonings and all. More moderate versions of Reconstructionism began to take hold in the New Christian Right, which began in the 1970s as an effort to re-engage evangelicals in politics and fight back against the sexual revolution and the civil rights movement. Dominionism was one such version.

She adds:

Many Evangelicals in America are indeed concerned enough about the religious beliefs of Ted Cruz that they voted for Trump. The Evangelical south was supposed to be the impenetrable firewall of the Cruz campaign but Trump smashed it and won the south and its Evangelicals.

In another post Judy gives the top ten reasons for voting for Trump. I’ll give just a couple. Let me first give a bit of her opening statement:

As a Ron Paul and Rand Paul supporter, I’m disillusioned with the political system, the systemic corruption of the RNC and DNC machines, the obnoxious elites of the political cesspool and their media, and every policy decision promulgated by the sellouts of America. I long for an America that works for Americans and American workers. I also care deeply about other issues so I’ve outlined them and have included Trump’s positions on these issues.

To be clear, Trump is no liberty activist, Libertarian or constitutional purist. Moreover, it’s 100% accurate to assume that most Americans could care less about the issues that are important to us. Liberty doesn’t win at the ballot box, never has. That said, Trump does hold positions on a lot of issues that are important to the American people to various degrees and I find myself in agreement with a lot of Trump’s positions.

So the reason that interests me?

#8 Marijuana Legalization

Trump 100% supports medical marijuana and believes that the states should have the right to make the decisions on recreational marijuana.

Her reason #1 also attracted me.

And the #1 reason to vote for Trump is to royally bitch slap the RNC-GOP elites who lord over us like a Nazified crime syndicate.

If Americans want change, a better future, the restoration of the American Dream and a chance reversing all the damage that has been done to the American people then they need to reject the bankster lovers, warmongers, open border advocates, globalists, one world government supporters, corporatists, fascists and the Republican elites responsible for destroying America (along with their Democrat partners in crime).
