War
has a way of clarifying where people stand. When the Hitler War came to Europe,
the French government fled from Paris to Vichy and offered to Hitler all
the innocent French Jews he could murder. Vichy France surrendered with hardly
a shot fired. The worst war in European history did nothing good, but it
clarified Good and Evil. Almost every occupied country in Europe turned
out to have its native Nazis. Denmark was a noble exception, but Sweden sold
arms to both Hitler and the Allies. Norway had its Quisling. War clarifies, and
generally the things it shows are shocking and discouraging.
Perhaps
the most shocking fact today is the open betrayal of the Conn-e's -- the
self-proclaimed conservative establishment has openly abandoned the nominee of
the Republican party. Don't misunderstand this: The very conservatives who have
been flying the flag of true most vigorously have betrayed the cause. This is
the flight to Vichy, American style. It is the most abject and dishonorable
surrender to the worst ideological enemy conservatives have ever faced: Both
Obama and Hillary, the two most dangerous candidates for the Oval Office in two
centuries of American history.
Trump
is as conservative as any Republican candidate for President in the last half
century -- who were always supported (sometimes with reservations) by the
Conn-e's, the Conservative Establishiment. Bill Buckley and National Review
supported Nixon and Ford with deep reservation as the best of the available
options. Neither Nixon nor Ford were 100 percent pure conservatives. But they
were far, far better than the alternatives, and Buckley's National Review chose
the most practical realistic option.
Not so Buckley's and Irving Kristol's
successors. Given a true conservative battler, who takes the fight to the
enemy, Donald Trump, they have fled to the foxholes. I know I will never
trust them again; I certainly will not buy their magazines or pay for their
advertisers. No. I'm waiting for a New Conservative Media to emerge (as it
is already doing) and I will boycott the Old Conn-e's who failed to fight when
their support was crucial.
I
don't doubt that they will be blamed either way -- if Trump wins or Hillary
does. Since Hillary is an unconvicted felon in the eyes of conservatives all
over the country, and has highly suspicious money flows from the Jihad forces
in the world (which we now know were accepted for her by Huma Abedin) this is
an historic moment for choosing. No Hillary voter can be a patriot when the
fate of the country is at stake. I don't care what flavor of conservative Trump turns out to be: He
is an unapologetic patriot, and that is what matters in this fight. Other
conservatives I trust, notably Giuliani and Gingrich have taken sides. This is
no time for those who shy away from battle.
In
the words of Thomas Paine in 1776:
"These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier
and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the
service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and
thanks of man and woman."
Well, Jonah and Bill and George, you are
the summer soldiers and the sunshine patriots today. You shrink from the
service of your country. Well, so be it. You can be sure that your purified
conservatism that shrank from the battle when it came will never again enjoy
the credibility it once deserved. To patriotic conservatives you have failed,
and failed forever.
Goodbye in your future endeavors, but this
black make of cowardice at a crucial moment in American history will
forever stand against you. And that goes for Paul Ryan and all the other
sell-outs as well. This is the most dangerous moment in American history since the
Stalin-era Communists sold the Manhattan Project plans to Stalin. It is even
worse, because the West is constantly infiltrated by Jihad forces on top of the
usual Leftist treason.
Well,
you have chosen your path.
Millions
of US conservatives fervently hope that you lose, along with the Obamas and
Hillary.
