Dear Mr. Trump,
You certainly have changed the process of the common election cycle. Heck, there’s so much going on behind closed doors you’d swear there was an all out conspiratorial effort to "schlong" your campaign. Of course, they’re so upset with you they’ve lost all sense of decency and they’ve taken their hate for you straight into the public square.
The rumor mill is swirling with details about how this one is going to go rogue (which would only give Sarah Palin a much deserved Republican hat tip) (Jeb Bush of less than 6% polling fame has made such rumblings) or how there suddenly is a need for a crowd-sourced effort to name a new party for the Republican Establishment to hang their hat.
Hey, George Will, guess what? Here’s a name for your new Republican Party, The Whipped Party (TWP!). Specifically, this party is dedicated to being just considered conservative enough by Washingtonian types without having the baggage of actually holding true to any real conservative principles. (Also, affectionately known as a RINO Party) Or is that too harsh for your delicate ears?
As the former friend of conservatism, you’ll understand if the rest of us tried and true conservatives eagerly dismiss you from any immediate consideration as reliable source of information. We’re not sure when your sell out occurred, but we’re sure that you’re no longer one of us. This leaves your words fatefully falling on the tone deaf ears of those whose favor you currently find yourself in. The problem with preaching to the choir is that everyone will agree with your position so you’re left with a false sense of being in touch with the heartbeat of your constituents. In your case, nothing could be further from the truth.
So where does that leave the rest of us? Those who believe in the former greatness of the American Dream? Where do we turn to understand the political options of those before us?
The secret isn’t all that difficult to understand. We turn to our basic civil understanding of the America we grew to know and love…the America which instinctively resisted the urge to be drawn into the fight in Europe against the surge of Nazism (by a group of nations lulled to sleep in the false pretense of promises). The American ideal which intrinsically understood our military directive to openly identify the enemy while beckoning our nationalistic pride as a force to be reckoned with.
Hitler learned the hard way that we Americans can’t be relied on to sit idly by while one maniac wreaks havoc on the innocents of civilian life. We don’t like losing and we have little patience for the bullies of international affairs. We don’t go looking for fights…but when we’re called out you might as well know you’re in for one hell of an ass kicking!
What has that to do with you, Mr. Trump? Plenty…as long as you understand how truly terrified they are of you. They need to dispense of you without tearing apart the fabric of those you’ve brought together to do battle against their core of mediocrity. We chose to walk the path of difficulty in the name of principled excellence.
These are features found in the core of character casually derided by the elites of the RINO Establishment. Since we never appear on their radar…we don’t appear in their political dialogue. It is to their peril that they continue to ignore us. They really have such a common disregard for the likes of us they haven’t a clue as to how you’re able to hold the polling position they so desperately envy.
While the establishment elites make plans for their errand boy Rubio, having realized that the Jeb version in the Bush Family Crest never had any lasting luster, they quietly ponder the Trump phenomenon. These political pundits wouldn’t know a political uprising if it appeared at their bedroom doors swinging torches, clubs and pitchforks.
Earlier in the week, someone used the term revolution…it seems radical to use such a phrase within a society which deems itself above such uncivilized ideas. And yet, that’s exactly what is here…on their doorsteps…ready to break down all the doors of resistance and climb the stairs to their bedchambers…ready to confront them where they’re most vulnerable.
These are frightening times for the ignorant…they’ve lost the battle years ago and only recently understand how little they truly control. The problem with this sleeping giant is that he’s no longer asleep and he’s not going down without a fight. It’s already so bad out here and the real political brawl hasn’t even begun to be fought.
All of this is happening right before their eyes and there’s not a damn thing they can do about it. This is just now happening in the Republican tent. We haven’t even gotten into the ring with the Democrats yet.
Well, sir, this is just about the best thing that’s happened for this country in a very long time. What we’re witnessing is a little push back that’s been brewing for the last four election cycles.
We value the cost of our freedom. It wasn’t handed to us. We believe that the Constitution was written by men…declared into law and defended by the blood of American Patriots for almost 240 years. Those lives weren’t sacrificed in vain. And we’ll be damned before we see our beloved country go down without a fight.
To those political enemies of the Constitution let me gently remind you that your time is coming to an end. The best part of your legacy is yet to be written. We’re determined to undermine you at every intersection you chose to make a stand. If you decide to flank us, remember this…we outnumber you by millions not thousands.
Watching from the sidelines,
