Cliff Kincaid: Conservatives have to become the resistance

Conservatives have to become the resistance
By Cliff Kincaid

Despite the election of President Trump, which seemed to momentarily disrupt Democratic Party plans for total control, conservatives are losing politically. Trump's basic failure was the inability to seize control of the Pentagon and intelligence agencies away from Obama and his holdovers. Conservatives that Trump tried to put in were systematically purged. He's the ultimate target. It's unclear whether he can save himself.

We see the results in the failure by Trump and his top officials to name radical Islamists as the enemy in his 9/11 speech. Homeland security analyst Ryan Mauro says, "By omitting any mention of Islamism or jihad, the Trump Administration's language is even closer to that of the Obama Administration than Hillary Clinton, who defined the enemy as 'jihadists.' President Obama refused to use any terminology associated with Islam at all." He did say, however, that "the future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam."

Trump is making deals with Democrats, ranging from debt to taxes and spending, as the national debt surpasses $20 trillion. He seems to be leaning toward some form of amnesty for DACA "dreamers" and maybe other illegal aliens. The Democrats, meanwhile, are embracing a total federal takeover of the health care system, as represented by Senator Bernie Sanders' unveiling of a "single-payer" plan to replace Obamacare. This is what happens when federal programs fail. The Marxists call for more government to "fix" the problem they created.

I thought Trump and his Orange Brigade was the resistance...silly me.

Most conservatives have gone Galt. We've been told we aren't needed, so why fight it?

Conservatives cannot become 'the resistance' while in a party that has sold them out to their ideological enemies.

Conservatives are in exile - and until they get together to create something outside of the corrupt walls of Mordor on the Potomac - we will remain politically irrelevant.
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

It's a little damned late for Trump fans to look to Conservatives to "fix" the problems we are now facing.... especially since Trump and his fans demonized Conservatives (and still do) to the point that Conservatives have been marginalized and Conservatism demonized.  This article is hilarious to now suggest that Conservatives even have the power to "resist" the momentum of that Trump Train.

Asinine, in fact.
No quarter given to the enemy within...ever.

Thought conservatives were already the resistance since we didn't vote for Trump?
