#NeverTrumpers are Kamikaze Pilots in Hillary Clinton's Airforce

Jonah Goldburg is in the #NeverTrump camp, and as usual grossly overstates Trumps trade policy. What a surprise. As all the #NeverTrumpers say they can't be persuaded to vote for DJT, then whats the point listening to their whining? Its a waste of time.

We cannot enforce trade agreements if we are unwilling to unleash sanctions against countries that dump products tax free into our markets, or manipulate their currency making our exports unaffordable in their markets, or blocking entirely our ability to export products to their markets, or even when they are brazenly stealing intellectual property and violating patents.

Ronald Reagan liked free trade, yes. But he also stopped Japan from dumping semiconductors into the US, and made agreements with them to voluntarily reduce import of cars. He did this to save American industries and jobs, which are key to national security. The economy did just fine.

The Red Chinese are rebuilding their blue water Navy largely on profits from huge trade deficits. We are talking about advanced precision weapons, fighters, and nuclear subs that can target our cities. The promise of free trade was to increase our manufacturing base, not destroy it. Americans are going to have to decide whether national security is more important than buying super cheap flat screen TVs from Communist competitors.

Secondly, Trump will reduce regulations and corporate taxes making it more feasible to operate in this country again. These #NeverTrumpers are not going to get away with their gross exaggerations and lies.

Obamacare Revisited

This HHS action is exactly what Obamacare proponents were saying all along (while the Obama regime denied it), that the ACA removes religious liberty. Allowing employers to offer limitations based on their conscience and faith, does not hinder or stop employees from pursuing additional coverage on their own, paying the modest cost themselves, or finding an new employer that covers these things. That status quo hinders no ones liberty. The Obama regime is simply trying to divide the opposition to make it easier to steamroll the remaining few opponents (by giving exceptions to some, but not all). Later in the campaign, they'll continue to destroy individual liberty with this relentless "progressive" socialist grinding wheel.

After religious liberty and the right to self defense is shredded, they'll come after free speech against their political opponents. They're doing it right in the open, and the media is in the tank making the case...i.e.,  that all this is for our "own good".   It is not American, to trust Government.  Our founders didn't, and our system of Government was designed to make it difficult for Government to impose its will on the American people. Please remember, centralizing authority in Washington IS NOT an American idea, but one born of monarchies, dictatorships, and Europeon or Soviet style socialism. A true American is ALWAYs skeptical of Government, and would never increase its power over individual liberty, regardless of any good intention.

 Jefferson told us to not speak of good men, but to bind them with the chains of the Constitution. When I say wake up, don't hide in third party movements. To oppose these Marxists, we've got to unite regardless of the differences we have. I'm talking to RINOs in particular, as the establishment Republican's campaign to purge conservatives from party leadership must stop. You must incorporate conservative views as an important part of the platform moving forward. Otherwise, the GOP is nothing but cold poridge.

McCain Should Step Down

I don't know about you, but I'm still recovering and synthesizing what happened in Massachusetts last Tuesday. What does it all mean?

I was glad to see and hear most Republicans in the leadership restrained themselves from doing "end zone" dances. Scott Brown's victory was not a GOP victory by no means.

Most Democrats and still a few die hard Rockefeller Republicans still don't get it. I'm not sure even Scott Brown fully understands it, and perhaps was just as surprised by his success. Mr. Brown apparently didn't follow the sage advice of Republican strategists, who claimed after 2006 that the Party needed to move "left" to win. If anything, his victory debunks that line of thinking.

Brown stated a clear simple conservative message, and won by 5 points in the bluest of blue States. Scott Brown was was speaking his heart, and not campaign rhetoric filled with empty slogans. His best line Tuesday I thought was this..."and let me say this, with respect to those who wish to harm us, I believe that our Constitution and laws exist to protect this nation - they do not grant rights and privileges to enemies in wartime. In dealing with terrorists, our tax dollars should pay for weapons to stop them, not lawyers to defend them". WHAT A GREAT CONCEPT!!!

As Conservatives survey the political landscape, I don't think we collectively are automatically going to pull the GOP lever. We learned the hard way that an "R" by the candidate is no guarantee you're going to get Conservative governance.

I have concerns, as we get into the 2010 campaign season, that Republican candidates like John McCain or Lindsay Graham understand that all is not forgiven. These GOP'ers were largely responsible for the downfall of the Republican Party in 2006 and 2008. Whether it was McCain-Feingold Campaign reform (recently overturned by the SCOTUS), McCain Kennedy Immigration reform, GOP legislation increasing the size of Government and entitlements, all of these things were part of that sad legacy. Compassionate conservatism was the cracked pot that lead to a substantial growth in the Federal Government and associated deficits. How can we easily forget the Bush administration's prosecution of two border agents for shooting a Mexican drug smuggler in the ass, or its failure to secure the border?

We should also mention, that John McCain's wife Cindy is finally "out of the closet", and is now actively campaigning for Gay marriage. This bunch of liberal Republicans must go.
Sarah Palin, who plans to help John McCain campaign for his Senate seat, needs to rethink that strategy. I wish John McCain himself would rethink it. What is it about power that all of these aging Senators refuse to leave office (unless carried out in a casket)? John McCain needs to move aside and make room for a younger Conservative with new ideas. John McCain should step down, and Arizona find another Scott Brown to replace him. Please John, don't run. We don't need you in the Senate.

-

Likewise, Sarah Palin's plans to campaign for Rick Perry, the incumbent Governor of Texas, also is risky. Perry has problems of his own sticking to a Conservative platform. Sarah should await the outcome of the Republican primary, as a new an upcoming Conservative (Debra Medina) is getting a great deal of attention from the Texas Tea Party movement. Sarah's premature support of Perry may even damage her Conservative credentials.

In any case, much soul searching ahead.

SotoMayOR

A racist, member of La Raza (the Race) activist Judge without a doubt. She telegraphed her views when she stated that it was the appellate court's role to establish policy (law). Forget the Constitution and the separation of powers, its now the courts job to write law. Never mind she very plainly said a Latina is smarter than a white man (the only distinction is race in her pronouncement). If racism is evil, then all of it is evil. It's equally obvious that a white judge could not survive the vetting process after making such an offensive statement.

The Republican Senators, Cornyn, Hutchinson, Hatch, all seem soft on stopping this nomination. We should not have much hope that our RINO heros will rise to the occasion. Remember this....the violent street gang Mara Salvatrucha issued orders from federal prison to teach the Minutemen a lesson they will not forget.....then...President Bush called the Minute Men right wing extremists. Attorney General Gonzales, a member of La Raza, sought prosecution of the two 'border guards for shooting a Mexican drug smuggler in the ass. It was the GOP during the Bush administration which supported corporate interests for cheap labor pouring across the border. RINOs are just as interested in Mexican illegal votes as the Democrats. They all make me sick.
