Trump Has Nerve - And Hits a Few

Love him or hate him ... Donald Trump just said something which needs to be said... and done by an American President who actually is willing to stand up for what is decent and right about this country of ours.

In a recent edition of the Conservative Tribune, Mr Trump was quoted in an interview as being willing to stand up for Christians, who are being persecuted by ISIS and other Islamic extremeists in the Middle East, as well as, Christians right here in the United States, who are being ridiculed and punished for their beliefs concerning gay marriage, illegal immigration and other anti-left wing hot button agenda issues.

I am sure as the weeks roll on, we will see and hear more of Trump and his comments. I am not sold on him as President, but the next President needs to be this forthright, with no pussy-footing around political correctness BS.

I agree with some of what he says but he needs to be certain he is correct. Obviously, as time has worn on, his comments about Mexicans has proven to be taken out of context. He didn't paint a wide brush, as the media and some GOP apologists claimed. He was quite specific but the LSM played "gotcha" by taking key phrases out of context.

I will say that of the other GOP candidates; only Carly Fiorina, my current choice for the nomination, had the courage to at least agree that The Donald was hitting a chord on several ideas which many Americans believe.  All the other men in the race either remained quiet and gutless, or stood on a soap box to pontificate how much Donald Trump does not represent the values of the Republican Party.

Really? What values? Hey Jeb and Rand and Ben and George and the rest of you... are you talking about the values of Boehner and McConnell? Those values look a lot like the Islamist who presently resides in the White House. And if you are presently criticizing Trump for challenging Obama's policies on everything, then you should be running for the Democrat Party nomination.

At least, your ideas would be more in tune to what has been wrong in this country since 2009. You are Democrat-lite candidates, not Republicans. Certainly, not Ronald Reagan Republicans.

I am not saying that Trump is a Reagan Republican. He is far from it. But at least he is willing, like Reagan, to discuss what is and has been wrong in this country for a long time, and challenge us to think about it. I know he donated to Democrat candidates, who he liked at the time, in the past. After all, that is his right as an American to do what he wants. I am sure he has voted for Democrats over the years. Again, that is his right.

Or did you all forget about that five letter word? Three of those are in one of our Sacred Documents, where the author discussed our God-given rights - life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Oh, right. He also criticizes the Marxist and his Republican Party apologists for not following that other pesky Sacred Document called the Constitution of the United States. You know. The one you all swore to uphold but don't. It is our Basic Law, not a suggestion list. If you all did, then President Joe Biden who is, in my view a patriot, would be the Democrat standard-bearer, because the Congress would have done its Constitutional duties by impeaching and convicting this treasonous criminal, and would have directed the Sergeant-at-Arms to arrest and escort him to Leavenworth.

Instead, you have given Donald Trump even more topics to talk about, like the unconstitutional Trans-Pacific Partnership and that wonderful, brand new unconstitutional Iran deal, which puts Israel, and, to a lesser extent, Jordan and Egypt into harm’s way because they like us. And leaving four Americans behind, including two Christian pastors.

So, maybe, all the people running for the GOP nomination who are talking trash about Donald Trump are themselves nothing but trash. Other than Carly, I don't think any of you have the b@ll$ to be President of my country and defend my Constitution. At this point, if the election were today, I wouldn't be voting for any of you.

Except Carly Fiorina. And Donald Trump. Their values regarding my country are in line with my values. No one else in the race has shown they are willing to stand up and defend our Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic, especially the one residing at 1600.

So, keep talking Donald. The more you talk about what is wrong, the more nerves you will hit. When a nerve gets hit, even a person who is sleeping, as many Americans have been for quite some time, wakes up and opens his eyes. May you continue to sound the tocsin! Then, maybe we will be able to take our country back.

After all, isn't that what 2016 is about?
