An American Awakening
By Michael Finch| July 5th, 2018

What a fascinating and momentous time we live in—a time that may well be remembered as an awakening of our great nation. President Trump, the catalyst, has changed the debate in this country on seemingly everything from identity politics and immigration to trade and foreign policy. Barack Obama said he wanted to “fundamentally transform” the United States, and did his best to carry out that promise to the detriment of the country. But it seems Trump could be the greater “transformative” president. All for the good—a transformation back to our constitutional and historical roots after almost a century of progressivism.

And he certainly is changing the Republican Party along with we’ve come to know as the “conservative movement.”

Critics will say that Trump is “not a conservative” and that he doesn’t have any governing philosophy but, as they have been with almost everything when it comes to Trump, the critics are wrong. Trump does indeed have a governing philosophy. It just isn’t the one we have been hearing from Republican leaders for the past 40 years—including everyone from Jack Kemp, Newt Gingrich, the Bushes, Paul Ryan, and all of the leading conservative think tanks, National Review, The Weekly Standard, and the rest. Trump’s philosophy goes deeper and further back than our self-destructive dalliances with globalism, “free trade,” open borders, what’s good for Wall Street, and an imperialistic, “neoconservative” foreign policy.

Trump has been called a nationalist and a populist. He is certainly a bit of both of those, but it is very difficult to define Trump by political labels. One thing seems certain; there has never been a more “American” president than our current one. He is a self-made man in the truest sense in the American tradition. Trump is part Andrew Jackson, Andrew Carnegie, Buffalo Bill Cody, with plenty of P.T. Barnum thrown in. He is a can do, rough-and-tumble, builder, creator, frontiersman; employing brains, brawn and yes, a fair amount of hucksterism to achieve not just his dreams, but America’s promise.

That seems quite true to me.

More from the article:
"The election of Trump, his rise, and his presidency are a part of this very long and overdue awakening. For that we can be very thankful, but, of course, its success will depend upon more than him. We have to succeed. And that success hangs by a thread. The Left is at war with Trump, which is to say that it is at war with America. They will stop at nothing to derail this Awakening. Trump is just a stand-in for America and for us. If they succeed at that, our great Republic will pass into the sunset, forever."

The Left is at war with Trump, which is to say that it is at war with America.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

If they succeed at that, our great Republic will pass into the sunset, forever.

And if Tump is the exemplar, we deserve to pass into the sunset.

This article explains my attraction, since my late grandfather (1881-1967) worked for Bill Cody's Wild West Show, before settling down at age 40 for marriage and family.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

And if Tump is the exemplar, we deserve to pass into the sunset.

No, Tump is getting things done, if the border is secured, if Roe v. Wade is reversed, those who sat on their hands deserve all the credit in the world (sarcasm / off)

2nd amendment rights too.

BWAAAHAAAHAAA,  some whatevers, turn their back on the unborn, people roll up their sleeves and try to change the situation and these er... phonies just jeer??
