    I am perfectly aware of both the purpose of the 9th Amendment (and the related 10th) and what unenumerated rights are. Now do you want to somehow draw the line from there to Article I Section 8?

    The State of the Republican Party: enthusiastically supports PM Orban, a dictator that wants an illiberal democracy (a Christian democracy).

    Orban: "We must state that we do not want to be diverse and do not want to be mixed: we do not want our own colour, traditions and national culture to be mixed with those of others. We do not want this. We do not want that at all. We do not want to be a diverse country."

    Hungary's right-wing authoritarian leader will speak at CPAC conference in Dallas next month | Texas News | San Antonio | San Antonio Current (sacurrent.com)

    Although described as a dictator by academics, Viktor Orban's leadership has received praise from U.S. conservatives.

    "CPAC is proud to host Prime Minister Viktor Orban," Matt Schlapp, the head of the American Conservative Union and organizer of CPAC, told the right-wing news website.

    Sounds like the conservative party has anything but Christian beliefs. Love thy neighbor if he's white, but get those dirty mixed races out of our country.

    Current Republican Governor of Maryland won't support the party's nominee to replace him.

    I will agree with Hogan I think it's a bad idea for the DGA to support extremist candidates in the other party in the hopes to make it easier for Democrats to win. As we've seen with many candidates considered extreme they can and have won especially if the Democrat is a weak and unpopular candidate.

    Overall though this is the state of the Republican party as Maryland Republicans still voted for Dan Cox.

    Hogan says he won't support party’s nominee in Maryland governor contest
    Larry Hogan has referred to Dan Cox as a “QAnon whack job.”

    Republican Gov. Larry Hogan of Maryland said Sunday that he would not support his party’s nominee to fill his job, predicting that the GOP has “no chance of saving that governor seat.”

    In an interview on ABC’s “This Week with George Stephanopoulos,” Hogan told host Jonathan Karl that Trump-backed state Del. Dan Cox’s win over Hogan’s preferred candidate in the July 19 primary “was a win for the Democrats. It’s a big loss for the Republican Party, and we have no chance of saving that governor seat.”

    Hogan accused the Democratic Governors Association, which ran ads boosting Cox in hopes of landing Democrats an easier general election opponent, of colluding with former President Donald Trump, a chief critic of the Republican governor, to boost the candidate. Hogan has referred to Cox as a “QAnon whack job.”

    “Both of them were promoting a conspiracy theory-believing kind of nut job. And DGA I think spent about $3 million,” Hogan said. “The guy only spent $100,000 on his campaign.”

    Hogan endorsed Kelly Schulz, a former state lawmaker and Maryland commerce secretary, who lost to Cox; the votes are still being counted, but Schulz trails Cox by more than 10 percentage points in the latest vote count. On Sunday, the governor reiterated his belief that Cox was unqualified and said he would not vote for him — though he added that he hasn’t decided whether he’ll back the Democrat in the contest, Wes Moore.

    “I would not support the guy,” Hogan said of Cox. “I wouldn’t let him in the governor’s office, let alone work for the governor’s office.”

    Viktor Orban Will Speak at CPAC in Texas Despite ‘Nazi’ Speech Backlash - Bloomberg

    A gathering of US conservatives in Texas next week will still include Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban as a speaker despite his recent comments which prompted a long-time ally to resign from his government and compare his comments to Nazism.

    In a speech over the weekend to supporters in Romania, Orban railed against a “flood” of migrants being “forced” on Hungary. He said he wanted to prevent Hungary from becoming a “mixed-race” country, adding that countries with a high level of racial mixing are no longer countries. Zsuzsanna Hegedus, who is Jewish and his long-time ally and adviser, resigned. The Romanian foreign minister also criticized the remarks.

    Hegedus in a letter published by the hvg.hu news website said, “I don’t know how you didn’t notice that the speech you delivered is a purely Nazi diatribe worthy of Joseph Goebbels,” referring to Adolf Hitler’s chief propagandist. The speech would have appealed to the “most vile racists,” she wrote.

    Nothing to like there. Nothing anyone in that clip said required an education above a 3rd grader. Nothing that fits the description Make America Great. This is the GOP people actually want running our country. Mind boggling.

    Orban and the CPAC need to read up on the ethnic history of Hungary.
