The great strength of the Progressive Left is that there is no logic or genuine reasoning or common sense involved in their movement. To say that they can be easily led is an understatement. The weakness in the Conservative Right is that there is no single core value to hold it together. There are only core values...plural...that can be and have been brought together to temporarily end the reign of Progressive terror.
To some of us a core value is the constitution. To others it is, as Steve Bannon would describe it, economic nationalism. To many of us our flag is the hill that we would die on if necessary. Many have been so negatively effected by Obamacare that health care is what drives them. There are more. Each and every individual core value involves logic, genuine reasoning and common sense.
What we are seeing today....this week to be more specific....may be the beginning of the breakup of the conservative movement leading not to a restoration of Progressivism's reign of terror....but to that beast of the Establishment.
I just heard....one hour ago....the single most disgusting....and condescending radio interview that I have....maybe ever heard.....and it was on one of conservative talk radio's strongest programs. The issue was health care and the interviewee was Lindsey Graham. The pathetic soft intonation of his voice and the patronizingly constructed phrases meant to have us believe that he is one of us was unnerving in that not only was this conservative talk radio...but part of the best of talk radio.
The absence of a unifying core value is evident in how we so easily let down our guard. We may use logic, genuine reasoning and common sense but we do so only in defense of our own individual core values. We are willing to see other's values....once brothers in arms... go by the wayside as long as our own values are still addressed. President Trump abandoned his supporters on the immigration issue.....he's abandoned other supporters on their issues.....he is attempting to consolidate what is left with anyone else in the Republican establishment or even Democrat Party....to insure the success of his own personal core value.....himself!
Note: The New York Times is reporting on more leaks intended to humiliate Jeff Sessions. The White House is being forced to deny rumors that we may not leave the Paris Climate Accord. There's a story out of Australia where someone told a TPP participant to "keep a seat warm," implying that we may go back to that. President Trump will give conservatives only what he absolutely has to or what serves his purposes also. Now I hear Trump supporters say things like..."Oh, we knew all along that he wasn't a conservative".....no no no....we told you that. Now we're asking them to at least think through what he is saying before cheering him on so quickly.
