Trump Trumps Trump?
Already,
President-elect Donald Trump has backed away from several of his earlier
positions on key issues, positions which won him the election. He has reneged
on his promise to prosecute Hillary. He is softening his stance on climate
change whackos and may be getting a bit weak-kneed about repealing Obamacare.
Apparently, it isn’t just politicians that lie to get elected.
This is
why government moves inexorably to the left. Once in government, or even just
in its on-deck circle, the rookie politician/leader of the free world is
continually bombarded by leftist special interest groups, politicians, power
brokers, PACs, celebrities, media types, world bodies, money-men,
influence-peddlers, and assorted other cranks and poke-noses, who insist said
politician/leader of the free world do
something about this issue and
promise to give something to this group. The pressure to look
compassionate and tolerant and welcoming is overwhelming- indeed unbearable to
almost everyone put in that situation, regardless of their beliefs. After all,
while conservatism demonstrably does the most to elevate society, it is a very
hard sell unless one has conviction, remarkable strength of character, and
superb communication skills. And patience.
Moreover,
with the rapid demographic changes upon us, it may well soon be impossible for a conservative to win the
popular vote nationally- and locally in many areas.
I still
have hope that Trump will do the right thing on many issues, and am certain
that he will be a much better president than Hillary would’ve been. He’s made a
few good cabinet choices and has a few key ones left.
If,
however, he ends up touting Rosie O’Donnell or Keith Ellison for elevation to
the Supreme Court, I will get nervous. If he recommends he himself be
prosecuted for foundation irregularities, he will have done a complete
one-eighty.
Trump
was elected because we are on the brink of a misguided, insurmountable transformation.
We
can’t afford to “Make America Wait Again.”
