Forget Tawdry Trump or Lyin’ Hillary; Vote for the Party Platform
Trevor Grant Thomas.com ^ | 10/13/2016 | Trevor Grant Thomas

I was not the least bit surprised to hear a decade-old recording of a biblically-illiterate, adulterous, strip-club owning, presidential candidate do his best imitation of someone corrupted by liberalism. (One of the first things I said to my wife after hearing Trump’s vulgar comments: “He sounds like a liberal!”) However, unlike many conservatives—especially Christian conservatives—I never declared myself a “NeverTrumper.” And (like the highly regarded Dr. Michael Brown) I’m still not. However, I’ve also not committed to voting for Trump.

Nevertheless, I’m as certain as any human being can be that the next President of the United States is going to be Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton. If that is still the case when it comes time to cast my ballot, I almost certainly will vote for Mr. Trump.

There are many people who will be voting for Donald Trump primarily to prevent another pathological, lying, murdering traitor from squatting in the White House, stuffing the SCOTUS with the scum of the earth, and wiping her bloated keister with what is left of the Constitution to the applause of the Demonicrats and RINOcrats in Congress.

Thanks for posting.

Podesta's years-long battle (People for the American Way) to remove and eradicate America's faith-based foundations and replace with a counterfeit idea, is now being exposed for what it is, as he goes about leading Hillary Clinton's campaign. The picture is not pretty and, like all other such short-sighted historical efforts, will fail.

So-called "progressives" of both Parties in recent times, portray themselves as the "intellectual" elite, although they may be totally bereft of any real knowledge or understanding of the great ideas which were the seedbed of Ameria's successful 200-year experiment in liberty.

Today's so-called "progressives," with all of their domination of academia and Far Left politics, seem to fit into a category described in an essay by T.S. Eliot on Virgil:

"In our time, when men seem more than ever to confuse wisdom with knowledge and knowledge with information and to try to solve the problems of life in terms of engineering, there is coming into existence a new kind of provincialism which perhaps deserves a new name. It is a provincialism not of space but of time--one for which history is merely a chronicle of human devices which have served their turn and have been scrapped, one for which the world is the property solely of the living, a property in which the dead hold no share."(Bold added for emphasis)

Without intellectual anchoring in the enduring ideas which provided the philosophical foundation of America's Declaration of Independence and Constitution, their vain imaginations of superiority only expose their limited world view.

Yet, the America which rose from obscurity to greatness, from crude hoes and axes to putting a man on the moon, and from oppression by King George to a symbol of liberty for millions all over the world--that America provides shelter for them, even as they attempt to "change" her into something unimagined by the Founders, and ungrounded in Constitutional principles.

If they are allowed to succeed in their own little provincial experiment, their posterity never will know the "blessings of Liberty" proclaimed by the Preamble to America's Constitution.

See excerpts: The Anvil that Has Worn Out Many Hammers

By Editorial Staff
Published December 22, 2007

Nineteenth century writer H.L. Hastings once forcibly illustrated the unique way in which the Bible has withstood the attacks of skepticism:

“Infidels of eighteen hundred years have been refuting and overthrowing this book, and yet it stands today as solid rock. Its circulation increases, and it is more loved and cherished and read today than ever before. Infidels, with all their assaults, make about as much impression on this book as a man with a tack hammer would on the Pyramids of Egypt.

“When the French monarch proposed the persecution of Christians in his dominion, an old statesman and warrior said to him, ‘Sire, the church of God is an anvil that has worn out many hammers.’ So the hammers of infidels have been pecking away at this book for ages, but the hammers are worn out, and the anvil still endures. If this book had not been the book of God, men would have destroyed it long ago. Emperors and popes, kings and priests, princes and rulers have all tried their hand at it; they die and the book still lives.”"(End excerpt)

Now, read an excerpt from John Quincy Adams's Jubilee Address, delivered in April 1839, in New York City, which recaps the real history of the founding of America and the framing of its Constitution:

Excerpts: “The motive for the Declaration of Independence was on its face avowed to be "a decent respect for the opinions of mankind." Its purpose to declare the causes which impelled the people of the English colonies on the continent of North America, to separate themselves from the political community of the British nation. They declare only, the causes of their separation, but they announce at the same time their assumption of the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, among the powers of the earth.

“Thus their first movement is to recognize and appeal to the laws of nature and to nature's God, for their right to assume the attributes of sovereign power as an independent nation.

“The causes of their necessary separation, for they begin and end by declaring it necessary, alleged in the Declaration, are all founded on the same laws of nature and of nature's God - and hence as preliminary to the enumeration of the causes of separation, they set forth as self-evident truths, the rights of individual man, by the laws of nature and of nature's God, to life, to liberty, to the pursuit of happiness. That all men are created equal. That to secure the rights of life, liberty and the pursuits of happiness, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. All this is by the laws of nature and of nature's God, and of course presupposes the existence of a God, the moral ruler of the universe, and a rule of right and wrong, of just and unjust, binding upon man, preceding all institutions of human society and of government. It avers, also, that governments are instituted to secure these rights of nature and of nature's God, and that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of those ends, it is the right of THE PEOPLE to alter, or to abolish it, and to institute a new government - to throw off a government degenerating into despotism, and to provide new guards for their future security. They proceed then to say that such was then the situation of the Colonies, and such the necessity which constrained them to alter their former systems of government.”

Which is more dangerous to the future of the Republic?

Which is more dangerous to the future of the Republic?

A career politician with a prove track record of corruption and lawlessness who, as the darling of the US Political Media, will be able to thumb her nose at any attempt to check and balance her power (Even if a cowardly PC Congress or Judiciary would be ever willing to try)

A crude lewd businessman, who career has demonstrated a respect for the rule of law, and whose power would be balanced by a hostile media and a suspicious Congress/Judiciary?

Not voting for Trump is voting for Hillary. All the childish rationalization and pompous grandstanding in the world does not change this basic fact: Trump or Hillary will be the next President.

If you think Trump is ANY kind of real, reliable conservative who’s going to do even half of what he says, or that he’s ANY kind of political savior that will vanquish the evil “establishment,” then you’re the one sadly deceived. The good thing is, win or lose, you will soon find out the truth about him.

Did you even read the piece? Trump or Hillary will be the next President. Mr. Thomas makes the same point and concludes that, if that is the case, he will vote Trump.

You don’t know politics or history. Read the piece and educate yourself.
