Can't see the connected dots for the forest...

Of course the sins of the father do not taint the son, that's not the automatic conclusion I drew.

President Obama named his book not Dreams OF My Father, but Dreams From My Father ... as in passed on to the next generation, him. I submit were you to investigate that book , you would agree. President Obama also spent 20 years in Jeremiah Wright's church listening to Black Liberation Theology, which at its' core (openly and proudly declared by Wright) is Marxism. He (Pres. Obama) admitted to acquiring audio recording of these sermons so that he could listen to them at night. And he went on a 1988 trip to Kenyan visiting Granny Sarah (where in the book he claimed to hear these stories first hand) prior to writing this book, which clearly enhanced (in my opinion) his anti-Western sentiments. He claims that in college he purposely sought out the Radical feminists, the Marxists, and so on. My point is that there is every reason to believe that he has willingly chosen to take on this "taint" as you described it. The "taint" is a man opposed to the traditional Western powers, opposed to the fundamentals of their culture (not race mind you, but individualist culture). And what ideology best represents the antithesis of that Western culture? What ideology best explains his policy decisions, speeches, legislation, and what ideology best fits with the familial past he was raised around and on?

Marxism.

The man is a Marxist.

I was simply providing background context which further illustrates why I believe this to be true. Background context that he didn't "inherit", but - as the evidence to date suggests - embraced and made a part of his mind set to this day.

So what does that mean for us now? It's simple (to me) - enough trying to compromise, water down, slow down, or stall this ideology (represented in this PoTUS). The entire premise must be defeated. In other words the GOP nominee need not be scared to talk about the unconstitutionality of Social Security (or at very least the inability for it to function); the nominee and the GOP in general must not be afraid to use the Constitution to declare the Dept of Ed unconstitutional; to reign in if not end the Federal Reserve; and on and on and on. As a Party the GOP must stop playing this game of , "We must live by the Constitution ... except here, here, here, and over here." And the only way that Party will have the backbone to do such a thing is if WE demand it.

And by the way, "Royal Colonist" described what I thought he was becoming, with his Czars answering only to "the reigning sovereign." It was meant to be a clever twist on the phrase. I wasn't implying, nor did I state, that Kenya was technically a "Royal Colony." You're right ... so little has changed.
