Does this man look worried? Well he should be. Because of his actions in recent days, his career as an influential professional inside the beltway politician may be soon coming to an end. And he won’t be alone.
Richard Burr of North Carolina, Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Mitt Romney of Utah, Ben Sasse of Nebraska and Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania. Remember all of those names. You can add that of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky. These Senators, Republicans in name only, are emblematic of why the Republican Party as it existed prior to the presidency of Donald Trump, and now, since he has been replaced, is weak and ineffective. They, and others like them, are why the GOP may soon cease to exist.
If we are not to be dominated by the Democratic Party as it exists today, a far left organization, with ideas and goals so far from the beliefs of mainstream America that it can never return, we must coalesce around something new. A truly conservative party, which believes in our Declaration of Independence and Constitution, and the ideals they represent for this nation.
Although I disagree with virtually all the positions that the “New” Democratic Party has taken, I still must respect them for two things. First, they are not afraid to wield political power when they have it and second, they always stick together, there are no “DINOs” among the Democrat politicians.
In contrast far too many Republicans are satisfied being in the minority. Still part of the “Beltway Buddy Club” in Washington, DC, enjoying the perks of their office, but reluctant to go toe to toe with the Democrats over serious issues. They don’t want to fight for what they believe. That’s why the seven Republican Senators listed above voted the convict Donald Trump of the ridiculous charge of inciting insurrection during his January sixth address to the “Stop the Steal” rally in our nations capital, and Mitch McConnell then threw gasoline on the fire by stating Trump was guilty as charged, but could not be impeached after he had left office.
President Trump was and is a fighter. Those seven are not, and like McConnell, they fear Trump for who he is, and what he stands for. Namely, a non-politician who loves this country, and is willing to put his reputation and money (literally) on the line to protect and defend it. Trump is the face of true American conservatism. With very few exceptions the rest of the Republican leadership and rank and file congressional members are not, and they know it.
It is my sincere hope that Donald Trump will continue to fight against the coup which removed him from office, and it is the duty of all of us who voted for him to support him in that quest. The Democrats, by their actions have proven that they are not just divergent in their viewpoints, but in many ways enemies of our Republic. Led by a mentally challenged president, a grasping, dishonest vice-president, and aided by equally dishonest leaders in the House and Senate.
Many conservative commentators and historians, including Victor Davis Hanson, Mark Levin and Bill Whittle have recently pointed out the undeniable fact that the actions of the Democratic Party since the November and January elections, most recently the second impeachment proceeding, have put us on a road that can indeed lead to a violent confrontation. No sane person wants that, but conservatives and Trump supporters can be pushed to the point they feel they have no other viable option.
