Conservatives, Quit Defending Trump
National Review ^ | July 9,2015 | Linda Chavez

Posted on 07/09/2015 6:14:28 AM PDT by Biggirl

Donald Trump’s outrageous comments about Mexican immigrants in his announcement speech two weeks ago should have been an occasion for conservatives to say that we have no room for bigots in our midst. Instead, a host of conservatives, from Ted Cruz to National Review’s own Rich Lowry, have defended his message, if not the crude way he expressed it:

Donald speaks the blunt unadulterated truth. I like the guy.

Hey Chavez. Have you ever stopped to consider that the Donald spoke the truth? Even though an inconvenient one? And there is plenty of evidence to support his non-politically correct statement, even if a little inartful. Kate Steinle was unavailable for comment.

Another point, or way to look at this. How might the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court 'word' it ...

Donald Trump's statement contains more than a few examples of inartful speaking. But ... it is implausible that Donald meant his statement to operate in this manner. So it stands to reason that Donald meant for those statements to apply selectively and not in a broad brush fashion as his critics claim.

I dont "defend" him, he has a certain way of saying things that I dont agree with, but the SUBSTANCE of what he said is what is important.

The Donald can be a jerk, thats for sure, but he is right in this case.

Linda Chavez is a Reeses-Prius style RINO, in other words, a Democrat with an elephant logo.

She can be safely ignored.

This article will absolutely convince no one to the RINO side.

Maybe that's not the point. Maybe the point is to shore up support among the RINO plebian masses.

So long as YOU and rest of the GOP establishment wing support sanctuary cities and amnesty, we conservatives — at least for the time being — will back whomever has the loudest and clearest voice on this subject.

After the slaughter in sanctuary-city San Francisco of a young woman by a five-time illegal alien deportee, your words have no weight.

Piss off, Linda Chavez.

Saying that to MSM is announcing that "We conservatives are all hateful and incurable bigots." NR is announcing that for us. Whose side is NR on these days? Is it conservative or is it Republican?

I don’t think he’s a bigot he just can’t speak very well.

Unadulterated truth often sounds harsh.

We should reverse it on them.
When these bums attack, we should say, “Why are you supporting illegal immigrants committing the child rapes, gang rapes and murders of Americans?”

The more the so-called “Conservative” media becomes vocal in opposition to Trump, the more I like him. Funny, that.

The issue of illegals is really about allowing ISIS to vote in our elections. When you look at it that way you see the real issue. BUT the other thing to consider is that ISIS would vote Democrat every time.

America is not a game of musical chairs. The essence of a nation, tribe or family, is who makes up that nation, tribe or family.

No two people are completely alike; and every nation, tribe, community or family reflects the particular personalities in that nation, tribe, community or family. The idea of inhibiting debate on whom we allow to enter these United States, is to put the bathwater ahead of the baby. It is an indefensible attack on the American future.

I have no animosity against any of the earth's peoples; but it is a totally absurd hypothesis that they are all equally compatible with the heritage of America. Those who want to encourage mass immigration from incongruous or even possibly incongruous sources, simply do not respect that heritage; nor, if they have sworn to uphold the Constitution, even understand the Constitutional purpose with respect to an American posterity.

Politicians who pander to such intellectually corrupt theorists, deserve only the contempt of those who truly honor the American way.

This issue is a lot bigger than even Donald Trump is making it.

IMHO....There’s no such thing as an ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT. IF he or she’s an immigrant, they’re here legally.

The correct terminology for the people The Donald was criticizing is ILLEGAL ALIENS.

IMBW, but I think those who follow the rules and come here legally have the intention to assimilate and become Americans.

Aliens sneakily break into the Country with the intention of getting whatever they can, with no intention of EVER assimilating, and they will remain Mexican flag waving, welfare sucking, la raza rioting human debris for life.

Those are Ms. Chavez’s chosen people.
