Conservatives pen anti-Trump manifesto (22 'Conservatives' including Erick Erickson)
The Hill ^ | 1/21/16 | Jesse Byrnes

Posted on 01/21/2016 4:11:58 PM PST by jimbo123

Conservative authors are banding together to publish a manifesto Friday denouncing the ideas of Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump.

Leading conservatives including Erick Erickson, William Kristol and Yuval Levin have written essays for a special issue of National Review to be published Friday, The New York Times reports.

"Donald Trump is a menace to American conservatism who would take the work of generations and trample it underfoot on behalf of a populism as heedless and crude as The Donald himself," reads an editorial accompanying the essays in the issue, according to the newspaper.

The issue will include essays from 22 prominent conservative voices, according to CNN.

Buckley must be turning over in his grave. Lowry has turned an institution into a mental asylum. Trust me, I know some of their fellows (I’m in NYC). They aren’t the least bit conservative... they’re flat out losers.
Then again, this is what the Republican Party in New York City attracts.

“would figure out that attacks by the likes of them are endorsements to the people inclined to support Trump”

They really, truly, finally, just do not get it. They see their twisted neocon globalist open-border agenda as “conservative”. It is as big of a theft of a term as leftists calling themselves “liberal”, or of sodomites who call themselves “gay”.

I agree Trump is no Conservative and we have to be very concerned about his NY liberalism and his ties to the Clintons and other Democrats. But sadly Erick Erickson, William Kristol, Yuval Levin, National Review.....they aren’t conservative either!

It’s just going to make Trump stronger. These folks need to find a better way to win in the battle for hearts and minds. “Manifestos” against a person is going to end up being preaching to their own choir. It feels good, but doesn’t gain any converts.

“As a conservative site, Free Republic is pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-Constitution, pro-Bill of Rights, pro-gun, pro-limited government, pro-private property rights, pro-limited taxes, pro-capitalism, pro-national defense, pro-freedom, and-pro America. We oppose all forms of liberalism, socialism, fascism, pacifism, totalitarianism, anarchism, government enforced atheism, abortionism, feminism, homosexualism, racism, wacko environmentalism, judicial activism, etc. We also oppose the United Nations or any other world government body that may attempt to impose its will or rule over our sovereign nation and sovereign people. We believe in defending our borders, our constitution and our national sovereignty.”

DUnald Tramp doesn’t meet that clearly defined guideline on far too many points. What he does do is to bring in all those LIEberals the the DUmocrats purged when their move toward communist takeover of the party was completed.

Hey, these people have nothing left but to kick in with the MISSISSIPPI TREATMENT, against TRUMP. (Remember the establishment take-out of Chris McDaniels, in Mississippi—)

The Establishment Dirty Tricks Operations are deploying now, and will be aided by the coming 500 page dossier from Hillary, against TRUMP.

Hillary wants Cruz, too, the same as the clinically depressed crowd around here, but the only way is to come through TRUMP and us.

TRUMP is no Chris McDaniels, however.

Bring it.

National Review has been a statist, NWO loving rag for a long time.

Erickson and Krystol? If they are “leaders” who are the followers?

How often has any member of the media attacked Cruz? Damn near never.

How many millions has the GOPe spent against Trump? Tens of millions.

How much have they spent trying to stop Cruz? Nothing.

You know why? Because he’s one of them. He’ll keep the gravy train rolling. Just ask his buddy Paul Ryan.

Keep your insider politician. You can call him a conservative all you want, but take that and $4 to Starbucks and maybe get a cup of coffee with it.

I’ll take my chances with a businessman over a lawyer/politician.
