It's Not an Election. It's a War.
American Thinker ^ | October 15, 2016 | Debbie Hallberg

Posted on 10/15/2016 5:21:02 PM PDT by Kaslin

There are an awful lot of people out there who still think this is a conventional election, that we are choosing between two candidates on the basis of experience, policies, and character.

This is not a conventional election. This is, as the late, great Andrew Breitbart put it, "war!"

An all-out culture war.

It's not a war that conservatives started or have ever wanted. It is a war that has been thrust on us. But if we don't treat it as a war, if we don't take it seriously as a war, we will lose and lose miserably. We will lose not just for the next four years, but for the next 40 years, and possibly the next 400 years.

In other words, this is not a skirmish or a tiny battle, as the #NeverTrump crowd imagines. If we don't defeat the enemy in November, there may not be another chance for a long time to come.

When you're at war, your tactics change considerably. For your leader, you don't want a gentleman warrior or an intellectual who is good at articulating ideas but not very good in the trenches. Those are peacetime leaders, perhaps, but not wartime generals.

At time of war, you pick a general who is tough as nails and will lead you confidently into battle and be victorious. You choose someone who knows how important it is, as Winston Churchill said, to "Never give up! Never give up! Never, never, never-never-never-never!"

The general you pick may be foul-mouthed, crude, or brusque. He may have any number of personal failings. Those things don't matter in war. What matters is:

Is he on your side?

The war is essentially between freedom and slavery.

I am having a hard time putting up with my liberal relatives. Most elections, I laugh off their stupidity. This time, I do not care if they get offended by the truth.

Damn right it’s war. And the dhimmiecrats have pulled out all the stops. Do not fall for their slimy smear attacks and anti-Trump propaganda. If we want to save our freedom, save our nation, we must keep the traitor Hillary out of the White House. She gets in and stacks the courts, we’re dead ducks. America will be over.

All in for Trump! NeverHillary!

Yes, we need no more Republican candidates or president “politenessman”. The democRATs play dirty and they play for blood. We need someone who will fighr=t them twice as hard.

You got that right. The NWO is out in force. They weren’t expecting Trump to throw a monkey wrench into the works.

Well, enjoy CW II, and I hope you survive to lie to your grandkids about your part in it. My battle’s here in Israel.

There is only one way to take part in protecting this nation from Hillary Clinton, and that is to vote for Donald Trump. A vote for anyone else or for no one might be an honest, admirable gesture in principle, but we don’t need conscientious objectors in this war for the country’s international standing and hence for The Wall Street Journal's Potomac Watch columnist Kimberley Strassel details the "devastating case against a Clinton presidency" that can be made by reviewing the WikiLeaks documents combined with what is already known in the public record. Strassel notes that although "the nation now has proof of pretty much everything [Hillary Clinton] has been accused of," the media "has almost uniformly ignored the flurry of bombshells, preferring to devote its front pages" to the story that Donald Trump "made lewd remarks a decade ago and now stands accused of groping women."

If Illiarily Clintoon is elected, we can kiss our families, friends and nation goodbye.

There is only one relevant alternative!

Then, President Trump can put her, her serial rapist husband, and her thugs in jail to wait for trial.

These elitists think they are gods. They think they should rule over every aspect of everyone’s life. I think I could prove they are not gods, but are proved to be mortal..

Totally agree with you.

It should be an interesting Thanksgiving and Christmas. Enough of the PC. I’m telling it like it is.
