Whatever the label, Donald Trump is as
sly as a fox. (By comparison, the MSM's harebrained analysis of him
and the GOP is as insightful as a squawking and confused Chicken
Little.) As the political landscape rightful quakes with the
People's voice through The Donald's brash persona, is the sky
falling? Well, it is, but only for beltway insiders—of either
party. For these polarizing, irresponsible spendthrifts who have
transformed America into a 19 trillion dollar debtor nation
with 93
million jobless—a dysfunctional mess—the “party” of the
ruling class is over. The voters have nominated our first non-binary
political candidate—since George Washington at the nation's
inception—an “outsider” also not beholden to either side of the
aisle.
In two hundred and twenty years we have
come full circle to the Founding Father's sage warning about the
factionalism of our then emerging two-party system. In his 1796
Farewell Address, Mr. Washington said:
“[Political
party] serves always to distract the public councils and enfeeble the
public administration. It agitates the community with ill-founded
jealousies and false alarms, kindles the animosity of one part
against another, foments occasionally riot and insurrection. It opens
the door to foreign influence and corruption [read: Hillary
Clinton], which finds a facilitated access to the government
itself through the channels of party passions. Thus the policy and
the will of one country are subjected to the policy and will of
another.”
What is crumbling is not the Republican
party. (That authority ultimately resides with voters and
elections.) What's “cracking up” is dead wood emblematic of
House Speaker Paul
Ryan (R-WI): entrenched elites who don't want a power vacuum
created by an upstart. For further historical context, look to 1975:
Ronald Reagan faced identical resistance in his unsuccessful
insurgency campaign against sitting president Gerald Ford. Indeed,
Mr. Ryan's shallow praise of Mr. Reagan is an example of the real
problem that plagues Republican “leaders”: insulated powerbrokers
who systematically (and hypocritically) pay lip service to
disregarded conservative principles like fiscal responsibility and
limited government. That went out the window when Mr. Ryan rubber
stamped two trillion dollars of additional spending to the nation's
Chinese credit card.
Actions, rather than words, are key
because they demonstrate anyone's inherent character. This obvious
truth is evident as readily in life as it is in politics. This is
why Mr. Trump is a live wire when compared to traditional politicians
empty rhetoric (read: Mr.
Obama). With speechifying, progressives say its important to
make unoffending noises about one's neighbors, but they consistently
act in ways that are polarizing and destructive to our republic.
Of this specific modern day development, George Washington foretold:
“However combinations or associations
[ie, the Democratic
Party] of the above description may now and then answer popular
ends, they are likely, in the course of time and things, to become
potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men
will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for
themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very
engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion.”
If that isn't an indictment of
the lawless, corrupt and anti-American Obama regime, perhaps this is
an even more apt description:
“The disorders and miseries which
result gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose
in the absolute power of an individual; and sooner or later the chief
of some prevailing faction, more able or more fortunate than his
competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own
elevation, on the ruins of public liberty.”
Are we more free or less so under the
disastrous
Obama years? (Hint: check your Obamacare bill and bank account
balance.) Has he not been considered an almost quasi-religious
“savior” by his unquestioning party—and universally praised by
the hard left propagandist
MSM—despite a laundry list of domestic and international
failures? Worse still is an administration that has done its best to
consign the Constitution and the Bill of Rights to the ash heap of
history. All for a pro-Castro fascist (an anti-JFK
Democrat) to seize ultra-constitutional power under the banner of
nebulous “hope and change.”
Not so fast. Mr. Obama has had a great
deal of trouble with political tar baby that is the Second Amendment.
Likewise, the foundational protection of The First Amendment is
similarly intractable. Therefore, dissent is still guaranteed
(despite NSA surveillance). That includes Mr. Trump's unpopular
speech, bothersome as its tone is to some hypersensitive segments of
our society. Yet, The Donald's independence from politics-as-usual
is essential. Despite being criticized as a vulgarian, his bare
knuckle style provides immunity from the vagaries of squabbling, out
of touch political parties. Moreover, his track record of proven
private sector success—and his Reaganesque pledge to “Make
America Great Again”—are all that matters to the Silent Majority
turbocharging this unconventional candidate's meteoric rise.
For the record, Mr. Trump's impolitic
statements were a necessary strategy to distinguish himself from the
pack of 16 other major contenders. Likewise, the same method will be
a highly effective mechanism, the hammer to the nail of crooked
Hillary's presidential prospects. As past is prologue, as savvy
as any seasoned pro—and despite breaking every conventional
rule—Donald Trump is the last man standing in what was a vigorous
Republican contest. He masterfully achieved that little feat while
simultaneously finessing
two billion dollars in free advertising from a hostile (and
hoodwinked) MSM. Only a fool believes these are flukes of a bigoted
ignoramus.
Speak of which is Washington Post
columnist Michael Gerson who incorrectly claims support of Trump is
tantamount to seeing “lunacy dancing in high places.” His skewed
perception is classical psychological projection. The dancing lunacy
isn't the Trump phenomenon, it's literally Barack Obama's careless
tango in Cuba. With no offense intended to the quoted words of
obscure G.K. Chesterton, another brainy guy said, “Insanity is
doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different
results.” That's what one gets from a Hillary Clinton
presidency—and her promise of an Obama
third term.
Who knew Mr. Trump would turn out to be
a George Washington style “America/n First” patriot: unbound by
the constraining weight of a close political affiliation? Therefore,
our path out of the land of liberal looney tunes—which includes
do-nothing Republican elites—is clear. In 2016, it appears the
winning skill set of a U.S. president is a flexible outsider, a
true-blue capitalist of considerable business acumen; a Manhattanite
marketing genius. In this regard, this presumptive nominee ran a
successful insurgency campaign within the umbrella of the Republican
party. However, in contrast to either party's inherent pack
mentality, The Donald stands unique: a no-holds barred fighter in
this peculiar age of coddled Obama Pajama
Boys. Speaking of an insufferable man-child, there is the
Democrat-capitulating Paul Ryan, the poster boy for a Republican in
Name Only (RINO). He and fellow travelers like the left's
law-breaking Hillary and America's geo-political foes should beware.
