In an interview conducted by The New York Times with president-elect Donald Trump, Trump confirmed the worst fears of conservatives, asserting that he’s less interested in executing conservatives principles than achieving high approval marks from the public.....

I'll be wary of what the press says, Rush pretty much proved this morning that the press was taking things Trump said out of context.

This surprises you, coming from a Trump fan who claims to be the dean of Advanced Institute for Conservative Studies?

It was clear from the beginning Trump was no conservative. Not because he claimed not to be, because he claimed he was. It was the contemptuous way he spat the word out when he used it.

The press lies no more than Trump.  So neither are trustworthy sources.  This particular comment matches Trumps actions and character perfectly.  He craves praise and worship.  He wouldn't know a conservative principle if it bit him in the bum.  Of course he cares about one and not the other.  To think otherwise is to see only dreams while ignoring reality.


Yep. Trump is not to be believed any more than the NY Times.

Yeah it all kind of evens out.

He lies at least as much as the media and cries about them more than anyone I've ever seen.

I'll make my own mind up about what is valid and what isn't. The "minders" can get in the wind.

Not like we did not know Trump was going to rule as a NY Liberal Democrat.

But few would listen.

They insisted Trump was the MOST "Conservative candidate in the field".

They are ALL liars.

Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775

Trump is an anomaly in the sense that he seems to take pride in lying. Here he is admitting (bragging) to Wolf Blitzer about lying about Rafael Cruz.

Gad, I'd forgotten about this. If you had posted this on 11/8 I would've stayed home.

Its a textbook definition of lying and he did it again and again and again throughout the campaign.

I compare it to Johnathan Gruber bragging about lying to sell Obamacare. People got angry because he lied to us but I never felt that way. He knew many of us weren't buying what they were selling so he was lying only to the morons dumb enough to buy it.

Did he say he was Conservative? I recall him telling us to go to hell. He had Bernie voters to drag him over the line.

In fairness, Trump never claimed he was a conservative. He's actually a Progressive Nationalist.

It was his supporters that molded him into their personal conservative
I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

You can go a little further afield as well looking for precedents for nationalist progressives, if you just remember that a synonym for progressive is socialist.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
