In this latest submission from Justin Smith, he expands upon his Facebookthoughts in which I cross posted entitled, “Memo to Third Party and ‘Never Trump’ Thinkers”. I concur with Justin that for Conservatives to stay home on election day or to vote for a Third Party candidate is the EXACT same thing as placing a check mark next to Crooked Hillary’s name on the ballot in November. Justin thus expands this theme.

The Anti-Hillary
By Justin O. Smith
Sent 8/27/2016 1:46 PM
Donald Trump may not
be the strong constitutionalist that many conservatives saw in Ted Cruz. Still,
we can acknowledge Trump's abundant flaws, his Big Government Leftist leanings,
just as I have done in several columns, and vote for him with a clear
conscience, since a corrupt society gave us both Trump and Hillary Clinton.
Save the political infighting over "true conservative values" for
after the election. We are not responsible for Trump's shortcomings; but, we
can certainly take advantage of his known strengths, as we unify against
Hillary Clinton, who is an evil ideologue hell-bent on the abolition of individual
and religious liberties, the most corrupt elitist to ever seek the presidency.
Hurt feelings or
not, the intransigent "never Trump" conservatives appear to be
throwing a politically immature toddler-like temper tantrum. Reveling in their
false pride, their patriotism questionable, they point to Trump's assertion he
could survive without them, while they endanger our republic by still refusing
to vote for Trump, who is the only candidate with a real chance of beating
Clinton. They bring Hillary Clinton one vote closer to the White House and the
Clinton Foundation ever closer to its next billions in "donations"
[bribes] from foreign governments, forcing the Founding Fathers' edifice ever
closer to becoming a banana republic.
Morally speaking,
everyone, including "never Trump" groups and conservative Democrats,
must look at which candidate will preserve human rights, our unalienable rights
under the U.S. Constitution. Which candidate will best protect our right to
free speech, property ownership, self-defense and life that natural law and
reason guarantees all human beings?
Hillary Clinton is a
political chameleon, changing position as the situation demands __ pro and
anti-free trade [TPP], anti and pro-raising the minimum wage and anti and
pro-same sex marriage. Her consistent views are shameful. She met with 57
Islamic nations in December of 2012 in New York to discuss how best to induce
the Senate and the House to criminalize any criticism of Islam, a blatant
attack on free speech. And during her presidential campaign, Clinton has warned
abortion opponents moved by faith that their "religious beliefs"
would "have to be changed."
On June 21st, 2016,
Donald Trump met with hundreds of Christian leaders in New York City [A
Conversation with Donald Trump], where he gave extremely encouraging answers to
the tough questions posed by nearly 1000 evangelical and Catholic leaders. He
pledged to always appoint pro-life, pro-Second Amendment and pro-religious
liberty judges and Supreme Court Justices, and he promised to eradicate the
1954 Johnson Amendment, which unconstitutionally silences pastors from the
pulpit on issues of the day.
Clinton will be a
full scale disaster. Along with her pro-Death [abortion] comments, she has
already been clear about her intentions to succeed in disarming Americans. She
will appoint a fifth Supreme Court Justice to gut the First and Second
Amendments. She'll further cripple our military, and she'll force American
industry to bow to her will through tax ploys and the regulatory infrastructure.
Leftist
indoctrination of two generations of Americans, through our universities, has
moved the Democratic Party far left of many European socialist parties; so much
so that Hillary Clinton feels comfortable enough to brazenly suggest that her
government will dictate to companies how much employees must be paid. Can you
say "unconstitutional"? How about "fascist"?
Trump's proposals to
undo the immense tax and regulatory burden on U.S. businesses, the job
creators, will bring many old businesses back into the U.S., along with new
businesses. Money currently outside the U.S. will return, and the result will
be an economy that will benefit all Americans, if they are willing to work.
Concerning the
Supreme Court, Donald Trump has sought the guidance of the conservative
Federalist Society and Heritage Foundation, as he notes that these well
respected think tanks have set "the gold standard" on judicial
appointments. These think tanks helped him list 11 judges with the judicial
temperament and constitutional knowledge that we can expect from any of his
potential nominees to any federal court or the Supreme Court.
If Hillary Clinton
is elected, she'll bury every one of her and Bill's secrets and settle old
scores with her enemies. Her agenda and the Progressive agenda is at stake,
from Uranium One and donors like Gilbert Chougary and advocating unnecessary
wars like Libya to Obamacare, the Iran Nuclear Deal and more potential
unConstitutional Executive Orders, which is great motivation for the vast left-wing
Clinton apparatus to fight to retain the levers of government power.
Unlike Obama's
"experts" in the DOJ and the CIA and Hillary's State Department,
Trump takes a more pragmatic approach to governance. He will encourage law
enforcement policies that make U.S. cities safe for all regardless of color or
ethnicity in opposition to progressive policies of division. He correctly sees
the Islamic State as a bigger problem than Assad, where Obama and Hillary
failed. He doesn't mind re-evaluating allegiances that have been taken for
granted, and he has castigated U.S. ally Mexico for its lack of border controls
and the flood of illegal aliens into America. He has also said that Saudi
Arabia would have to do more in the fight against the Islamic State, which
would be a significant change from the Saudis' prominent role in funding
terrorism against the West.
Hillary Clinton
policies vary only slightly from Obama's. If Obama's progressive policies had
been proper and backed by action over the past seven years, would we now have
such racial and ethnic strife in America? Would the Islamic State's diseased
brutality persist? Would America's middle class be disintegrating? Hillary will
give America four more years of Obama's malaise and defective, negligent,
incompetent and treasonous government.
I'm not voting for
Trump to be my new best friend. I'm voting for him to be the Anti-Hillary. I
don't care if he's mean and hurts the tender feelings of the fey and fainthearted,
or even if he grows fangs and fur every full moon. I know Hillary Clinton is a
worse person who would be unrestrained in power and pose a significant chance
of plunging America into violence.
Donald Trump's
nationalist populism is not the death knell to conservative values that several
conservative Christian pundits will have one believe. His current proposed
policies will actually serve as a breastwork against all of Obama's policies
and terrible legislative legacy and Hillary's planned radical destruction.
Trump is a strong advocate, by and large, for the GOP platform, which contains
mostly traditional conservative positions, and placing Trump in the Oval Office
will prevent Hillary Clinton's undoing of America, the destruction of the U.S.
Constitution and America's transformation into a godless neo-Marxist banana
republic.
