o.k. Enough with the foot stomping, hand ringing,
temper tantrums. I fully recognize you
staunch strong perfect constitutionally correct conservatives don’t think Trump
fits under your banner. Our country is
not just about your specific ideology.
Our country was established for each and every citizen, legally, within
the borders, even if those borders are being mishandled. I don’t know of any conservative, mild or
just lukewarm, that wants to see the Executive Branch or the Judicial Branch trampling
over the constitution.
This election
is not about getting your way on everything.
Our country is much like a freight train with 330 million head of
citizens on board. At this point in
history it has gotten onto a track that is headed straight into a wall of solid
peril. That train has been picking up speed, accelerating close to maximum
speed and we have a chance of altering the course of that train. If you think you can force that train into
making a u-turn you exist in a fantasy world.
If you think for one minute that direction will be reversed completely with
just one election cycle you are certifiably nuts! If you think giving up on this one election
cycle won’t be a disaster, you once again are nuts. If you think this election cycle results can
be changed four years from now, you are one giant bag of squirrel food.
Donald Trump
was most assuredly not my first choice in this horse race but he is without
doubt the only viable choice left in contention. Getting back to my train analogy, my hope and
prayers are not for the u-turn but for enough of a deflection of direction we
can get back to the track our founding fathers set us out upon.
The last few
years have given us a look at what happens when the progressive liberal faction
is in the head office. Even with a
Republican House and Senate, when the veto pen comes out passing anything
conservative is virtually impossible.
Equally important is the activity of the Supreme Court. We have also been witness to what happens
when those Justices have tendencies toward progressive views of our Constitution. A President can be voted out of office. His
control can be limited to one, no more than two, terms.
The President can affect our nation for up to
forty years with just one appointment to the Supreme Court. We are facing the possibility of three of
those appointments during the next Presidential tenure. If you think that’s not very important, you
had better revisit your thinking ability.

I agree,
Trump is not perfect but he can change the direction on some impending
problems: education, immigration, sanctuary cities, military, rules of military
engagement, Guantanamo prisoner releases, inner city crime.
Those are
some of the possibilities. The probability of affect is probably around 70%
which is a lot better than letting Hillary or any other Democrat from gaining
the Executive branch power ring.
Don’t cut of
your nose to spite your face fellow conservatives, which would make you look
stupid and would make you “Squirrel Food”.
Pray for our
country, our people and your neighbor.
God Bless
America
