The Gladiator
To see Mitt Romney, a man of such integrity and graciousness; a man who is a patriot and loves this country, sacrifice his personal and political reputations to spearhead the Republican Third Party Candidate project is disappointing and sad. To have many times sincerely professed his love for America and its people, Mr. Romney and others have been involved in trying to manipulate the will of those very Americans by sabotaging the candidacy of Donald Trump. They are proposing a Third Party presidential candidate option. What he and others don’t seem to understand is that most Republicans don’t want a third party candidate. They want a gladiator. They have overwhelmingly chosen Donald Trump.
Time and again, the American people have given the Republican Party, in both Houses of the Congress, their votes and support and catapulted them to majorities of congressional power. Time and again, the Republicans have squandered that power by going along to get along with the dishonorable, dishonest likes of the Obama Administration. Always afraid that they will be seen as obstructionists and terrified of being held responsible for a government shutdown, the Republicans consistently seek the comfortable pseudo-shelter of compromise. Surely, compromise has its appropriate place in the legislative process. It’s difficult to understand, though, why the Republicans shy away from conflict on the drastically serious issues that America faces today; like the real possibility of nuclear proliferation, terror and ISIS, Illegal Immigration and our dangerous, unsecured borders and Obamacare. Why? Are they protecting their long-held political bases of power and influence? Possibly. Are their donors unrelentingly threatening them with the power of their purses? Possibly. All they have managed to do is to daintily pirouette around the promises they made to the American people. Then, once elected, the Republicans left Americans with nothing and no one to protect them from the demons of the Obama Administration but the lies they skillfully fed them in order to get elected.
The Republican Party must be better than that! For if Hillary Clinton were elected as President of the United States in November, Americans can count on eight more dreadful years of the Obama Administration. At stake here is not a simple policy dispute between two warring political forces; rather what is at stake is preventing the sinister, intentional demise of America by the liberal Progressives, whose contempt for America and love of other people’s money, success and accomplishments they make little attempt to conceal. Then, in the end, America, as it was founded, will be tossed into the dustbin of history. How could this happen? No one fought for it; that’s how. No one had the courage to take a stand and put their positions of power in the Congress on the line and say, “This is wrong!” “What we’re letting happen to America is wrong!” No one had the courage to throw the biggest hissy fit of the 21st Century. Until Donald Trump.
These are dangerous, perplexing times in America. America and its global reputation have been turned upside down and sideways economically, morally, socially, religiously and politically. Thanks to Barack Obama’s contempt for Israel, its leaders and its people, America’s 60-year-old alliance with Israel has deteriorated into empty, meaningless rhetoric and ignorant political insults from the Obama Administration. Terror and violence have become the horrors of the day in America. It’s as though the Republicans are in denial and cannot face the fact that America is in true and dangerous crisis. In the meantime, the Obama Administration gives the Congress a rude, disrespectful gesture; then carries on by shredding the Constitution; stomping on the Rule of Law, and bedding down with the corrupt likes of the United Nations. Arrogantly, then, and with malice, they merrily skip their way down the road to tyranny unobstructed.
Enter Donald Trump! There is no need to sabotage his candidacy. Republicans and others wanted a gladiator who isn’t afraid to help them reboot the freedom and democracy that is the soul of this country. Their overwhelming support of Mr. Trump speaks volumes as to the anger and frustration of the American people. So what if he’s a little unconventional. Most Americans don’t care! He isn’t “owned” by anyone. He truly “gets” how the world and the economy work. He’s spent his entire successful business career actually living it. He loves this country, and he wants to help. Mr. Trump has made it clear that he doesn’t needlessly compartmentalize his thinking; thus, he leaves himself open to seeking the advice and counsel of the finest-of-the-finest legal, national security, economic minds (and more) to help him wade through the complicated, murky legislative waters. In short, if he has a question, he’ll ask it. Then, hopefully, in the end, he will have found a way to revitalize and recapture the majesty of that which was and can be again the most magnificent nation on Earth.
So, it’s imperative that we all vote on Tuesday, November 8th There is no room for indifference. WE MUST NOT STAY HOME. God Bless America!
