For all of George W. Bush's virtues as a leader, I think he erred greatly in not fighting against the media narrative - and Karl Rove admits this. Trump, for all his faults, is willing to fight the media narrative. Given that the media and the Democrats are carrying out a slow-motion putsch... I'll stick by him.
I have no problem fighting the media - most of us do it on nearly a full time basis on forums and social media. But Trump is supposed to be The Statesman of the country - and petty alleyway brawls is not becoming of a leader who is supposed to lead and steer a nation's virtue and appearance before the world.
No, it's not about conservative or liberal. It's now about something bigger than conservatism - it is about the Constitution. Do we still have one, or is it a dead letter when it gets in the way of the "progressive" Left's desires?
Ask the GOP that question. They are just as complicit. They certainly pay it lip service while doing nothing to preserve, defend and protect it from what the Left has done to it. Considering their own desire to grow government, I do not think they have anymore loyalty to limited government as prescribed than the Left does.
Since November 9, the Left has been trying to overturn the results of the election. That must not succeed if we are to have a country left. There is a time and place to debate the wisdom of standing by Trump or nominating him. That will be the 2024 Presidential primaries.
No, no no, no. I never bought the lie that we had to vote for Trump if we were to have a country left. I do not buy the lie that we must stand behind Trump if we are to have a country left. I do not buy the lie that we must wait until 2024 before debating or rendering judgment on the fruits of whether or not Trump has served in the interests of liberty and the Constitution.
That is a dangerous trap I will not walk into.
Salvation for the country does not rest in fealty to a man or a party.
We are either governed by foundational principles in the fear of The Lord, or we will be ruled by the tyranny of men.
