I haven't heard Mark Levin's speech to CPAC yet but did read a few comments that he made. He said that it was our duty to defend President Trump because the Constitution itself was in danger. He's absolutely right on this, in fact it was because of this very reason that there was so many of us who voted for Donald Trump in the general election to begin with (not but the primaries).....for the Constitution would also have been under attack by Hillary Clinton.
Congressman James E. Rogan was one of the 13 House managers in the Impeachment trial of Bill Clinton, and his book on that experience, Catching Our Flag: Behind the Scenes of a Presidential Impeachment, should be read in the impeachment climate of today. It would be one thing for the Democrats to take back the House and begin impeachment proceedings but another thing altogether to get a guilty verdict in a Senate trial. We should take these threats very seriously....but not panic....thereby causing even more problems.
I bring this up because this communist inspired element in our Congress today that tries to not only undermine but destroy our Constitution must be confronted on every level but we cannot in the process open the door for another kind of tyranny.....that of globalism and a New World Order ushered in here in America by the establishment wing of the Republican Party. The unfortunate situation is that we have more than one front in this war on our sovereignty. Donald Trump is not a conspirator here for he doesn't have this ideological passion....but his daughter and others in the White House may very well have it.....and thus we cannot just defend and not hold the actions of this administration to account.
President Trump is impetuous, juvenile and disturbingly vindictive. He rushes to put out a tweet.....and at times.....like something that a teenager might do......he gets in trouble for it......and that's what happened in March of 2017. Conservatives....this is your champion!
Donald Trump ran.....and pushed everyone else out of the way.....on a few key issues. The repeal and replacement of Obamacare was one of them. The Republican establishment came up with a bill last March that was correctly labelled by some Obamacare Light and Obamacare 2.0. We recognized this right away....but President Trump got behind this bill and started applying the pressure to the Freedom Caucus. He lost his temper and threatened the only true conservatives that we have in the Congress. They held firm. Obamacare Light was thrown in the garbage. President Trump could care less about actually repealing and replacing Obamacare. What has happened since then on Obamacare in no way absolves this president from what he tried to do!
President Trump had to be dragged to the table to sign a paper purportedly getting us out of the Paris Climate Accord. Observant conservatives were wondering why he kept saying things like....I'm thinking about it...I'm thinking about it. Ivanka was on his case. He finally signed it but this is something that can be brought back at any time and just this past week a former adviser of his who has since left the White House said that President Trump may very well indeed return later to this accord. This is your champion......deny it if you want.....he could care less about an issue like this!
President Trump also campaigned on reforming the tax structure. Admittedly this is a tough task. Failing to do this in itself would not condemn the President. The problem is that after getting what was a tax cut passed....he bragged about yet another promise kept....instead of doing what he did yesterday at CPAC in saying that it wasn't reform but a tax cut. So what happened is that he deceived as he always deceives until he felt comfortable it telling it like it is. This is your champion and he will continue to act like this....for it is who he is.
President Trump made a big deal about signing directives for the government not prosecuting on the Johnson Amendment that restricts what pastors can say from the pulpit. This is good. For the Johnson Amendment to be done away with it would have had to be included in the recent tax bill. It wasn't and no one talked about it. I wonder why? I know why. President Trump doesn't really care about this either.
There was a lot of talk about military spending included in the recent budget deal....and this also is good but President Trump had done little to nothing over the past year as far as strengthening the military. Even the Military Times commented on this. If he cared so much about this...this was an odd way of showing it....but then again this is Donald Trump. There are very few things that Donald Trump really has a passion about and those generally revolve around a booming economy.
President Trump did nominate a conservative Supreme Court judge.....and quite a few conservative federal judges.....but if you are going to be honest about this you will acknowledge that Ted Cruz and other candidates would have done exactly the same thing....and many of the strict regulations that have been done away with would also have been done away with had these candidates succeeded. So it's good what President Trump did here but it is disingenuous to imply that this is all because of him.
The Wall is another major promise that was made. President Trump obviously made big promises that were impossible to come through on. We can live with this for this unfortunately is what politicians do....but over the past year....right up until yesterday he continues with his mantra, and the purpose of it is solely to keep his supporters in line. There is little honesty in how this thing is playing out.....and its obvious here also that President Trump does not really have the passion on the border that he claims to have.
President Trump ran also on clearing out the swamp. How is doing here? Right from the get-go it was obvious that he had no intention of doing this.
How about the globalists? The global elite had big problems with Donald Trump....because they....like us.....believed that he believed in what he campaigned on. As time progressed they saw that he wasn't as big a problem as they feared. They actually kind of like him today. This friends is because Donald Trump is himself a globalist.
The 'Deep State' is more than just a problem. In fact the rogue element today...or the minority element....seems to be those who are good public servants in these intelligence communities! That's how bad it is. Now it would have been more than problematic for President Trump to just fire Robert Mueller....that damage was done by the assistant Attorney General.....but why hasn't he been fired? If President Trump was not involved in any collusion.....which it appears obvious.....and has since the beginning appeared that he wasn't....why has he taken such a high profile approach by tweeting incessantly for a year now? Just let the guy do what he's going to do....but give him a time limit.....this should have been done last summer.....and let it play out.
Why is it that as President Trump had one rally after another over the past year that we conservatives did not say..."OK....we're with you....enough with the campaign stuff." Why couldn't we see that something was wrong here....why was he constantly stirring us up? Something was not right. The answer is that if we were not kept in a state of high alert on something then we would have had time to look closer at who President Trump actually is.....with Ivanka and Jared and McMaster and others.
What about the most potent force in our favor in the conservative movement...conservative talk radio? Well, Rush Limbaugh made the most stunning reversal of a talk show host that I personally have ever seen. Everything was thrown to the wind in order to defend President Trump from the attacks of the Deep State. Do you remember when President Trump endorsed McConnell's candidate Luther Strange in the primary? Rush didn't even mention it...and when Strange was beaten by Roy Moore then Rush finally gave a weak explanation on why he was quiet. How is it that there are conservatives literally all over America who are upset over one thing or another with President Trump and yet they do not make their way as callers on his show? Is this honesty....or are we being played? Sean Hannity was a little more open about it. He did give just about all of his shows to defending President Trump but he at least commented forcefully from time to time on certain issues where President Trump was failing us....and President Trump then usually backed off. Mark Levin has held faithful to the principles of conservatism.....which brings me to Steve Bannon....
This is my take on Mr. Bannon.....he expected to have to work hard to keep Donald Trump in line....to keep him true to his promises.....but came to see that it was an impossible task.....that Donald Trump was not in fact who he said that he was. So he was out at the White House....but true to form in who he was.....the most proactive person in getting things done that I have ever come across....he took his plans of promoting genuine reform candidates back to Breitbart. The Fire And Fury book did him in and President Trump and those who he put around him jumped on it......Bannon was banished.....like Roy Moore was done in.....and like Jim DeMint was let go.....who was probably the best public servant that we have had in a long long time in Washington.
We in conservatism are between that proverbial rock and a hard place. The Deep State is in the middle of an attempted coup. This severe disease within our government goes back to the Kennedy assassination....and even earlier. President Eisenhower saw the problem clearly. We have to address this forcefully and conservative talk radio is doing this very well....but....but in the process they have let another problem develop.....and that is Donald Trump. It could have been done where the Deep State was addressed just as strongly but President Trump was also held accountable at the same time.....but that's not the path we took....and we will have to face that problem eventually.
So where are Christians in all of this? Folks, there are books written that we buy up and make best sellers that tell us that God gave us President Trump to make America great again. The America that they want to return to was not great.....that America is long gone. In fact that America that they want to return to was in rebellion to God and under the warnings of extreme judgment.
What I've written here in no way diminishes what happened on election day 2016. ....but we have not stayed alert and vigilant. We gave Hillary Clinton her walking papers but have been enslaved once again by the dreaded establishment elite....and we don't even know it!
