Liberalism Must Be Destroyed
2018-05-06
[TownHall] If you thought conservatives could "make nice" with liberals, that "both sides have the country’s best interest at heart," you were wrong. This week more of the con-jobs and character assassinations the political left is attempting have been exposed, and if it doesn’t make you realize the Liberal Industrial Complex will stop at nothing to protect itself and destroy the Trump administration, nothing will.

The economic news was all good this week, though you’d barely know it if you watched cable news. The unemployment rate dropped to 3.9 percent, which means nearly everyone who wants a job can find a job. Black and Hispanic unemployment are at the lowest rates ever recorded. Turns out all those liberal predictions of doom and gloom if Donald Trump were elected president were not only wrong, they were lies.

...I wasn’t a big believer in the "deep state," this push by the permanent power class in Washington trying to destroy the President because he crashed their party. But with every new bit of "evidence," there’s little choice but to believe it’s true. Politics is a clique where party only matters around the edges. Donald Trump didn’t work his way through the ranks, pay his dues and kiss the right rings as he ascended to the White House, he stormed the gates and cut the line. He not only didn’t "pay his dues," he beat those who did. Upsetting the apple cart is always unsettling for those who cultivate apple trees.

...I don’t know if his lawyer paying off a porn star is a technical violation of campaign finance laws, and I don’t care. I didn’t vote for Trump to marry my sister, I voted for him to be president and to make sure Hillary wasn’t. On that count, his presidency has been a smashing success.

But to the Liberal Industrial Complex, it’s a nightmare.

...Electoral politics is their domain, their path to wealth. It’s important to keep in mind that while they scream about President Trump trying to use the White House to get rich, he was already rich. He will likely be the only person in the modern age to leave the White House poorer than he was going in. Meanwhile, the Clintons and Obamas went into "public service" as people of relatively modest means and amassed generational wealth in and after leaving office. Who’s corrupt again?

Donald Trump’s biggest, non-personal sin was winning. And for that, they’re trying to destroy him. And they’ll destroy anyone and everything that stands in the way of doing that, even the country, if necessary. They have the infrastructure to do it, the accomplices, and the will to do it.

Which is why they have to be destroyed first.

...This week was a stark reminder of the importance of having judges who are interested in the rule of law and the Constitution, not advancing a political agenda. That’s what is on the ballot his November. While the idea of beating back the liberal mob in the fields of science, journalism, and Hollywood is appealing and important, those are but the tentacles of the monster. The ballot box and confirmation votes in the Senate are the only way to truly destroy liberalism. I just hope we destroy it before they destroy everything.

#14  Call them national socialists and a lot of historically ignorant Bernie Bros might start calling themselves that.

#13   re #1; They are stealing the language!
Liberal used to mean "open to new ideas".
Gay used to mean "happy".

#12  It may be people on the right who destroy "liberalism", but it won't be "conservatives".

It will be people who have decided that rules are for suckers and decorum is for cowards. Even those of us on the right won't necessarily like how that all turns out.

Unfortunately, many "conservatives" decided that their own tranquility and good manners were more important than fighting back, or at least supporting those who do.

The wind has already been sown.

The reaping is next.

#9  An Oligarchy pretending to be 'For the downtrodden'. Remember that Julius Caesar was the People's Choice for Dictator™ the next time someone talks about the Left.

#6  Fascists. That's what they are: "You can own that company, but I'm going to tell you how to run it. Or else..."

#5  Call them what they are; 'Progressives' or more accurately transnational progressives.

#4  Liberal Industrial Complex

Go back and read Eisenhower's warning. The left stops at 'military industrial complex' and buries the academic technological complex he warns of.

#1  If you want to destroy “liberalism”, stop calling them liberals. Use the correct nomenclature.
