Yes, you have every right to criticize deficit spending...just as I could fairly criticize Reagan for the same...but you are wrong to pretend that Trump is not doing a whole catalog of other things that are powerfully ADVANCING the conservative cause.
What part of "I have heaped plenty of praise on President Trump" did you not get?
So WE don't support Trump while YOU support Conservatism...we support Trump BECAUSE he advances Conservatism.
Uh, no. It goes far beyond that. When Trump supported Kelo, his supporters defended him. When he said that Planned Parenthood does wonderful things, his supporters defended him. When Trump came out in favor of Touchback Amnesty, his supporters defended him. When Trump imposed the exact same type of tariffs that Obama imposed, his supporters defended him. And when Trump signed a stimulus package bigger than Obama's, his supporters defended him. None of those are Conservative positions. None advanced Conservatism. Yet you say that you support Trump BECAUSE he advances Conservatism even though each of those positions is the exact opposite of Conservatism? I think not.
As I said, the sycophants are never satisfied. I applaud Trump for getting Gorsuch and Kavanaugh on the bench just as I applaud Ted Cruz for making the courts a primary issue these past two years. Yet that isn't good enough. For some reason, I am expected to praise Trump while at the same time vilify Cruz as if he were Trump's Emmanuel Goldstein. To hell with that.
Grow up already. Stop being so damn insecure. If Trump wants my support, then he will do Conservative things. But I WILL NOT support liberalism just because Trump is the one doing it. This really isn't complicated. I had this exact same conversation with some guy named JimRob at some other site. I had wrongly assumed that he would act like an adult about my defense of Conservatism. Yet he wasn't secure in his position since it was a position not based in truth. He took the same tact as you. Blind allegiance no matter what. And with the reigns of power he held, he retaliated against truth by censoring the voices of those who defended Conservatism.
Personally, I am really glad that Donald Trump is President right now. And I will be voting for him in 2020. But I am not about to turn my back on what is true and right. So I refuse to lie to others about how Trump is a swamp-drainer or how Trump is going to do away with baseline budgeting and demand that they swallow those lied. Because TRUTH is simply too important to forfeit for the sake of a king.
