Disappointed! You betcha.
In so many ways.
There should
be no doubt about my support, and hopes, for Senator Rubio’s success in gaining
the office of POTUS. That did not work
out. My hopes of a GOP and conservative win
were still alive; after all there had been an agreement to support the elected
candidate on the GOP side with the goal of defeating the next round of
progressive nonsense.
In business there is a management style called “Management by Objectives”
which allows for a unified goal and the use of any number of methods as the
successful means of achieving that goal.
As the old saying goes “there are many ways to skin a snake” but the goal is the same…..to skin that
critter before it fatally bites you.
We of the conservative and semi-conservative GOP and the politically independent
members of our country’s population have watched the erosion of our country’s
strengths take place. The systematic dismantling
of attitudes, beliefs and the guiding principles by the progressive machine has
brought us to a tipping point. Those cohesive beliefs that were once the binder
for a diverse populace have been maligned to the point of separation with the
strength of chaff in the wind. We cannot,
nor should we, hand over the keys of our country, the future that will belong
to our children, to the liberal progressive movement. Our way of life has been eroded, bit by bit,
emboldening those who seek political power through the practice of false
promise. Our goal is that of returning to those ways of life that brought our
country to the highest pinnacles of civilization, scientific growth, economic
and militaristic strength. We cannot
achieve that goal by handing over the keys, once again, to the Democrat
party. Any goal other than the denial of
their success is meaningless without that being the priority. That puts our primary objective of electing our choice, not theirs, to the office
of POTUS, and the congressional contingency needed to support our side of the
political ledger. We cannot hand this election
cycle over to the liberal progressive movement just because we don’t get all of
our ideological whishes satisfied. Secondary
objectives require success in obtaining the primary objective; priorities must
be kept in perspective.
The new cycle reports that some very prominent leaders of the
conservative side of things are with-holding their support of our current
nominee, Mr. Trump, because he doesn’t fall 100% into their ideological box. The box is what got us into this mess in the
first place. The inaction of our party
in stopping the encroachment of progressivism has brought about the anger of
the populace. The stance of stubbornness
that has prevailed on all fronts of our politic has handed win after win to the
wrong side of history. To think that we
will all get our way, our wish list satisfied, is ludicrous and politically
suicidal. We need to keep our
priorities, our primary objective in focus.
We need to WIN. There are too
many long term consequences to allowing our defeat while we captain our
individual boxes.
Mr. Trump may not be our perfect answer,
but our primary objective requires our support, so quit whining.
