“What’s a Conservative to Do?”

Get out and vote for Trump— and take your friends with you and make sure they vote for Trump too.

Anything else is helping Hillary become president of the US. No conservative should want that.

What am I to do? What am I do?

Slap. Slap. Slap.

Be a man. Be a conservative.

Vote Trump!

(It’s not personal, just taking care of business.)

The article at the source is long (for American Thinker) and I suggest everyone read the entire thing. I do not doubt that most Freepers who read it will find themselves nodding their head in agreement as they read various passages.

Thanks for posting, Kaslin...

They are effete borderline idiots who can’t see the train coming right at them. Any conservative who doesn’t get his/her butt out to vote for Trump is no conservative. They are mental defectives at this point. THE HOUSE IS ON FIRE!!! STOP ARGUING WITH US!!

What not to do: Elect Hillary because Trump isn’t conservative enough for you?

Traditionally conservative sources have been outed. They aren’t conservative. They’re crony capitalists big government liberals.

Bump to the Top!

The last half of the commentary is the best. Must read and I will give you one paragraph from the middle of the article.

Call me jaded but, hello? Conservatism is already on life support and some of the very people who whine about Trump are responsible for its demise and for basically two reasons: first, the lack of political will, that is, the reckless and feckless behavior of Republican politicians who fail to follow through on campaign promises; and secondly, lack of political savvy, that is, Republican candidates do not know how to fight and, when they do fight, they bring a plastic spoon to a cage match. They don’t have a message or the means to deliver one to targeted groups, they talk like egg heads walking on egg shells, they lack the creativity to hone a sound bite and repeat it over and over until it becomes part of the narrative, they’re afraid to talk to the liberal media and, when they do, they are almost always on defense and fail to connect with viewers.

Look at who Trump’s enemies are and you will feel better about voting for him.

Where were these ideological purists when the Rinos pushed candidates such as both Bushs’, Dole, McCain and Romney on the Party? You can hardly call any one of them Conservatives. Could it be that the Conservative elite feel extremely threatened by a populist nationalist like Trump? Where would their influence go in a Trump victory? They fear Trump and his supporters who threaten the status quo in Washington.

Now the perverts will be able to corner their victims in a private room without fear of interruption.

Since the mid-1990s, low wage, mass immigration, cheap import interests and other money sources have been not just generous as political donors but ever more deeply embedded and influential in conservative circles and within the GOP coalition. With the 2016 election campaign in its concluding phase, not only is cash from those and other sources mobilized against Trump, but conservative publishers realize that this is the time to generate anti-Trump stories and sell as much ad space as they can -- and even to sell out, if the price is good enough.

From my dealings with journalists over the years, they tend to be touchy about appearances but astonishingly naive that they or their publisher have sold out even after they have manifestly sold out. I hate to see that as to NR -- I am and will remain a lifelong subscriber -- but it is hard to argue otherwise.

It bears mention that even though it seems painfully obvious that NR has sold out, their primary fault is intellectual. They have let their essential role as the keeper of the conservative flame in dark times become the basis for declaring that Trump as the GOP nominee is unworthy of support because he has failed their conservative purity test.

Yet Trump is arguably more conservative and more successful in the real world tasks of building and running things than John McCain or Mitt Romney, two questionable GOP nominees whom NR doggedly supported. Trump is also more able and willing to speak in the plain terms and direct manner that connect with ordinary Americans -- which is reminiscent of Ronald Reagan.

Indeed, unlike Obama and Bush, Trump has a bottom line realism and lacks personal connections to Islam (Obama) or to Saudi oil interests (the Bushes, all of them). Trump seems far more likely to address the role of our supposed Muslim allies in supporting Islamist terrorism and using mass immigration to the US and Europe as weapon. Doing so would help to remedy the central defect in our national security strategy against terrorism.

I trust that NR's fit of Never Trump madness will pass and that, in post-election sobriety, they will see more clearly. And if Trump is victorious and pushes a conservative agenda, they and other Never Trumpers will be forced to recognize that combative Trump will have won because he expanded the conservative and GOP base. Always a smart crowd but not always wise, NR and its stable of thinkers and pundits will then be forced to eat a big plate of crow.
