Trump’s Ascent Has Conservatives Wary


No. It doesn’t.
It has most of us thinking “it is about damned time somebody stepped up, and broke a few eggs!”

I don’t know ANY conservatives, other then the false “go along to get along” types, who can refrain from grinning widely every time Trump opens his mouth. And calls a spade a spade...
not one.

Most of them can barely suppress a snicker when the cameras are on them, and Donald says what we were all thinking...

Nobody should be idolizing Donald — he is what he is — however nobody should be idolizing anyone else, even Ronald Reagan.

This looks to be Donald’s day to serve a useful role. It won’t be perfect. It almost certainly will be better than what came immediately before.

God is most interested, however, not even in what we do with Donald than in what we do with Jesus Christ. Will We The People call, through Donald’s populist ear, for things that facilitate a holy, helpful existence, or just one that is self righteously self congratulatory and vengeful? We can’t throw it over the transom to a Ted Cruz now; that excuse is gone.

There are sane alternatives to disastrous modern policies that don’t call for playing zero sum games. For example: bleeding heart liberals should spend their own resources helping Mexicans in Mexico, rather than throwing them on the backs of unwilling fellow Americans. To be charity such that God would bless it, charity always had to be voluntary. Government simulacrums of it always lead to cynicism and political suck-ups.

At the very least, the term “conservative” is going through a very broad redefinition.

Perhaps it may best be expressed through #NeverHillary.

Simple ABC - Anybody But Clinton.

Had enough? Because if you haven’t, there is plenty more in the pipeline.

And it ain’t gonna get any better, buttercup.

The boys club that has been ineffective in the last elections is the reason why we are here. They have themselves to blame, they forget they work for the people
