[The Urban Sombrero]

Frankly, I doubt that you even understand what the term scope even means, much less be able to clarify adequately the scope of this thread.

In an orderly society, i.e. as in the America of the past 60 years minus the Obama Era, one would not dress up hired gun protestors, mercenaries, working that which is both illegal and destructive to our society for dark and nefarious social engineering overlords, in the clothes of patriots. Such mindlessness would be counterproductive to the common good and therefore unthinkable. None the less in this case, unless one is willfully ignorant the empirical evidence is overwhelmingly revealing. The protestors are hired and therefore illegitimate.

I realize, TRT, your deep need to view the RNC as, basically, the Christian Reconstruction Party. I have stated before my belief in your sincerity. However, as PE Trump moves to mitigate and moderate some of his positions from the campaign, here's the fact: both major parties practice the art of politics, which includes appealing to lowest common denominator instincts (name calling, class warfare, racial bias, fear of immigrants). Both parties do this, then mitigate and moderate as they position themselves to actually govern. This isn't hypocrisy or, heaven forbid, political correctness. It is the art of politics. In my view, there is no compromise of your essential Christian integrity and a recognition of this truth.
