Today, whiny "conservatives" everywhere are pretending that they can't tell the difference between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. So, what I think they should do, is grow up, put on their big boy pants, and vote for the candidate who is running against the candidate who allowed four Americans to be murdered at the hands of Islamic terrorists. It's pretty simple. You think you can do that for me, guys? Because, I mean, it doesn't seem that hard. Or maybe just vote for the candidate who, be it ever so small a possibility, is less likely to appoint a Supreme Court justice or six who will sanction the murder of millions and millions of children. I mean, I can't believe we're even having this conversation. If Trump has stepped on your toes, get some steel toed boots. I would rather have a candidate who is at least nominally opposed to terrorism, child murder, and an incessant flood of illegal immigrants, however offensive he may seem, than a candidate whose actions demonstrate she has no problem with any of those things at all.
I guess what's really funny is that, as far as I can tell, I'm the most conservative person I know on a lot of topics, and I don't find Trump offensive at all (although I can see how other people do find him offensive, because he certainly does not sound like most politicians.) I am in favor of gun rights, up to and including the infamous 100 round clip. I am opposed to the murder of children, period (it's often given the sanitized, 'medical' name of "abortion", a term I suggest we all stop using as it tends to cloud one's reasoning on the subject.) I am against illegal immigration, period. I think, in fact, that the U.S. should put in place an immigration moratorium for five years while we figure this out. I am pro-military - whatever that means - but it's important to point out these days, because generally liberals seem like they want America to lose every war. I am in favor of free market economics within a context of reasonable trade policies, especially with third-world, developing economies and I don't think the government should simply tax and spend. I'm aware that Donald Trump isn't a perfect, by-the-numbers conservative. I'm aware that his political views hewed liberal for a lot of his life. Well, so did mine. People can change, and I'd like to think Trump has.
Still, I carry no illusions. From my archly conservative perspective, Donald Trump, if elected - and I strongly hope he is - will probably be an annoying, centrist, dishwater President on most important policies other than immigration, and candidly, the voice of experience tells me he's likely to waffle on that.
But politics is the art of choosing the lesser of two evils. And Donald Trump is vastly preferable to a lifelong feminist radical who sat back and did nothing while Americans were murdered, and who, without question, will go on supporting the murder of millions of children.
Four years of Hillary. Four million children murdered.
Think about that.
So come on, guys. Get rid of the hashtags, swallow your hubris, and do the right thing for America. I'm sorry Trump didn't stroke your egos.
But this one is a no-brainer.
The issue I think with Trump and conservatism is that I'm not convinced he really is one. He hasn't outlined any sort of hard policy stance on anything that has me convinced of his policy goals if elected. Offended isn't the right word, but he says things on purpose to cause a stir, and in essence a marketing gimmick and frankly it's worked. As for murdering children, I honestly think if Trump had to support abortion to be president, he'd do that too but he knows that to be a republican in America you must be pro-life.
