We....all of us conservatives....have this in common.....we want President Trump to guide this nation through these treacherous straits with a steady hand....but there are differences in how we approach this. We all have criticized Progressives.....Democrats.....for 25 years on how they utterly refused to hold Bill or Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama or Nancy Pelosi or Harry Reid or Al Gore...up to any standard of truth. Speaking for myself it was mind-boggling how they could give these people a free rein and a free reign. November 8th of 2016 was a great day for America in that this globalist and communist ideology lost its seat of power in Congress but the principle remains in force.
I wrote the following in a post from before the 2016 general election...."A recent CNN report quoted (then Senator Jim DeMint) in 'I don't have the support inside Washington or even inside my own party'." The report continued. "DeMint took hits from leaders in his own party when Republican incumbents and establishment-favored candidates were brought down by his tea party favorites. This summer, he proved to be one of the most intransigent members of Congress, refusing any compromise with the Obama administration in debt-ceiling negotiations." Senator DeMint is quoted again in, "I was lectured in front of the whole Republican Conference saying, 'DeMint, you don't understand how this place works. It's not about principle, it's about the numbers'."
And this...."Thomas Jefferson wrote...'In matters of principle, stand like a rock; in matters of taste, swim with the current' ".... and lastly this...."Abraham Lincoln wrote: 'Important principles may, and must, be inflexible'." That very thought is an anathema to many professional political strategists of today.
To hold true to these thoughts is to hold our own party leaders accountable when they stray from principled leadership. Most have no problem with President Trump on this.....but many of us do. To attempt to deny us our right to challenge on this is neither wise nor even helpful to the president of whom we both hope for wisdom and success. The post that these quotes came from concluded with this.....
"Should God give our nation more time even though it is very obvious that we are seeking answers from anywhere and anyone but Him, and should Donald Trump become our 45th president, he will have ample opportunity to fall to his knees in prayer for guidance as our 1st president had done so many times. Whether he would do so or not would remain to be seen. He has shown from his many statements on religion that he knows not the power nor the holiness of God. We need to resolve to offer fervent and continual prayer that this man comes to realize that the art of the deal is temporal and fleeting but "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom." (Proverbs 9:10)"
