Time for Courage

As the presidential campaign accelerates, let’s have a reality check.

Either Harris or Trump will be inaugurated president in 2025. Don’t like your choices? Neither do a lot of people. But those are the options. Put on your big girl panties and get over it.

Some ostensibly Republican conservative voters say they’ll come back to the GOP when Trump is gone. Clue phone, and it’s for you: the damage that four more years of Harris would do is far more important than whatever you think of the party. Put America first, not either party. If you do that, you’ll vote for Trump.

Harris is basically a socialist, and certainly proposes socialist policies. Trump is a conservative constitutionalist.

Trump is the more moderate of the two candidates, by far.

Trump was president for four years, in which time we had record low unemployment, low inflation, a more secure border, growing real personal income, and no new wars.

Under Harris, we have had nearly four years of record inflation, sky high drug overdoses, an open border with an epidemic of crimes by illegal aliens, America deep into two new wars, and she promises to pack the court, kill the filibuster, and add new states to boost Democrat power.

If you have trouble deciding which candidate is better for America – or think genitalia and skin color should determine your vote – God help us all.

Only one candidate can be considered a constitutional conservative. Your choices are these: vote for a person you dislike who did a good job as president. Or vote for a person you may or may not like who has done a terrible job.

One succeeded. The other did not.

For nearly a decade, I have watched former Republicans and conservatives drop out, check out, and divorce themselves from either the Party or politics in general. Astonishingly, thousands of these people across the country have convinced themselves this shows their honor and decency.

It shows just the opposite.

If you brag that you’re not going to vote Republican as long as Trump is involved with the party, you are by definition making the party the focus of your decision. I honestly don’t care what party Trump is affiliated with. If he was a Reformed Druid Baptist running against a committed leftist, and he had the best chance of beating them, I would vote for him.

Focus on the Party and you’ll get caught up in 3 AM dorm room-level discussions. Focus on what is best for the country, and the decision comes easily.

This just in: NO ONE CARES what you think about the parties. There is no such thing as a protest vote. There are just people without the courage to take a stand. If you oppose Trump, even though you do not favor socialism, it means your commitment to the good of the country is less important than virtue-signaling and being a part of the self-righteous, smug anti-Trump crowd.

Do you really think it is in the best interests of the country to have a president with Harris’s gross incompetence and socialist positions? Make the case. Go ahead. Convince us that is best for the country. Unless you are a socialist, you can’t.

It takes zero courage to turn your back on a party or a candidate when it is the popular thing to do. Courage is not usually found among the group of people standing at the side and making fun of someone.
Courage is found in sincere thought, facts, sound ideas, values, principles, and actions that back them up.

Hate Trump? Good for you. You’ll get a lot of self-congratulatory dithering from others who also haven’t the backbone to hang in for a tough fight.

I don’t know about you, but IF we lose, I will go down fighting. If we ever lose the country, it will be in spite of my best efforts. Quite literally, it may be over my dead body.

So you can choose. You can be courageous, strong, and patriotic, or you can hang out with the vacuous ciphers who pat each other on the back and claim they’re better than you are.

If You Vote On Issues, You Have Exactly One Defensible Choice

By Rob Meyne

A recent article from a North Carolina columnist sums up the views of many anti-Trumpers.

His arguments are well-worn and widely accepted, but so are a lot of things that don’t rely on facts.

Tom Campbell has written a lot of good columns. His latest is not one of them. (His work can be found by searching for Tom Campbell & North Carolina.) His basic point: “Trump sucks,” (not his exact words), so how can anyone support him?

The author’s tactic is typical of those used by many politicians, commentators, and average people; attack the person, not the policy. If the left/media (but I repeat myself) can convince you that Trump is a threat to the nation, and people who support him are mindless zombies who worship him, they don’t have to discuss policy. This is very convenient for people who have records that are difficult to defend, or who are running against a president under whom America did well. That summarizes the 2024 election.

Biden and Harris have been a disaster. Harris and Walz favor Marxist policies, which threaten our freedom and economic strength. And most Americans realize Trump performed well as president, even if they don’t like him.

The ONLY tactic that is likely to succeed against Trump is to claim he is so dangerous literally a threat to the survival of the nation, while avoiding discussing issues, and lying when forced to confront your record.

Every time someone says YOU are a mindless cultist, what it really means is they can’t explain why they support Harris. Count on it. As has been said many times, in general, leftists win by lying, conservatives win when they tell the truth.

Campbell writes that Trump’s commitment to making America great again is “all show.” Apparently, he can read minds and possibly predict the future. Remind me to ask him what the next winning lottery number will be.

Trump entered politics as a rich, famous, successful employer in the private sector. He had taken a small family business and built it into an iconic global brand. Leading Democrats – Harris, Biden, Clinton, Obama, Pelosi, Schumer – spent all or most of their lives on the public dime and grew rich through selling influence and insider training.

Trump also delivered policies that helped mainstream Americans. If that is “all show” I’ll take it.

Trump’s personality, combativeness, and pettiness are a turn-off for many people. We get it. The question is what is most important to you? If it is more important to have a president who doesn’t send mean Tweets than, for example, to prevent nuclear war, then vote for Harris. If the future of the world is more important than personalities, vote for Trump. Decide what is most important and you’ll know what to do.

Campbell says, “And please help me understand why his cult seems willing to forgive his crimes, his outlandish conduct, absence of morality or his incessant lies and still pledge allegiance to him.”

Accusing people of “pledging allegiance to a candidate” is the accusation made by anti-Trumpers who can’t defend their policies and want to vilify you and me. When someone accuses you of being a cultist or of pledging allegiance to a person it proves they are, themselves, bigoted. They accuse you of doing what they are doing.

Calling America a Cult Is Useful for Leftists and Anti-Trumpers

The nature of politics is that people don’t always have to answer for their actions and mistakes. Same goes for life in general. That’s probably a good thing. Count me among those who wouldn’t look forward to such an exercise, at least not in a terrestrial environment. I expect to be held accountable in the next life, but if I can skate for a while, in this one, cool.

Yet, it is frustrating that few significant political actors are held accountable for their roles in putting people in office who then damage the country. It is easy to vote for someone who ends up being a disaster and avoid accountability simply by staying out of relevant discussions. If you are a Jets fan you probably didn’t start a lot of discussions about football last year.

Anti-Trumpers, as a group, have received more than their fair share of attention. They fulfill the wildest dreams of many on the left and in the media, but I repeat myself, because they love nothing more than disloyal Republicans.

It brings them even more joy if they blame Trump for specific atrocities. A home run for them is when RINOs place blame on Trump for the “deadly” actions on January 6. Such accusations are uninformed, politically bigoted, or both. Blaming acts of violence on the politicians the criminals support is almost never reasonable and represents lazy and misleading thinking.

Grifting Can Be A Good Way to Pay the Bills

No discussion of anti-Trumpers would be complete without a look at the Lincoln Project. They were promoted as Republicans who were so offended by President Trump’s character, rhetoric, actions, or morals they simply could not support him. They claim to be conservative constitutionalists who find Trump so reprehensible they would prefer to have a far left/nascent socialist in office.

That’s worthy of reflection. Assume for a moment you’re a hardcore Constitutional Conservative. Short of compelling proof of a crime, a candidate going on a killing spree, kidnapping elderly nuns, or assassinating puppies, what would they have to do to persuade you to support the most extreme leftist ticket in your lifetime? Right. Hard to think of anything. Especially once your candidate had established an actual governing track record that was indisputably conservative in most ways.

Democratic Strategy: Lie About the meaning of “Court Packing”

An old saw holds that all politicians are scum, whore-chasing liars. I think you could put the word “people” in the place of “politicians” and still be pretty accurate.

I marvel at those who act offended – shocked – that an elected official might lie. The preening, condescending, morally self-assured anti-Trumpers remind one of Captain Renault in Casablanca. He says he is “shocked” to find there is gambling going on at Rick’s. He is then presented his winnings.
