Trump: "It is my profound honor to be the first president in U.S. history to attend the March for Life!"

It's hard to take people who are plainly more liberal than conservative shrieking "Trump's not a real conservative" when for 40 years those same undercover liberals have strongly advised GOP presidents to stay away from the March for Life.

Is Trump really a conservative?

I don't know. Is my lawyer really on my side? If he keep doing a good job at pressing my claims in court and defending me from accusations, do I care if he's "really on my side" or just on my side because I pay him?

Is my lawyer acting like he's on my side just because he loves me or due to the facts that our interests align, and he can expect to profit by advancing my interests?

Does it matter?

You know, Milton Friedman said, approximately, never count on a politician to "do the right thing." Only count on politicians to do things which are in their own interest.

And Donald Trump has, for whatever reason, decided that advancing the conservative cause is in his own self-interest.

Meanwhile, the NeverTrump critics of the billionaire's-playground "conservative media" have an entirely different set of interests -- career interests which include making sure they're always considered "safe and reasonable Polite Company Conservatives" who can be hired by Michael Bloomberg and other leftwing media tycoons, and making sure their columns comport with the political and economic imperatives of the identities-concealed AEI corporate/billionaire donors paying their home mortgage payments.

Trump acts as if he's on my side.

Which the True Conservatives never do. The "True Conservatives" only seem to get emotionally invested in politics when it affords them a chance to attack real conservatives and make a show for their liberal friends of "patrolling their own."

Always eager to build up goodwill with possible future liberal employers... at the expense of losing all goodwill from actual conservative voters.

These guys are "not on your side." They do not write for you. You are not their clients.

You are their commodity, the thing they package up and sell to their actual clients, their employers, their donors.

Ever wonder why they spend so much time trying to convince conservatives of the rightness of liberal ideas, and so little time trying to convince liberals of the rightness of conservative ones?

So here's that Fake Conservative Trump, doing what "Real Conservatives" have always lacked the courage to urge presidents to do.

Or have been paid not to urge them to do.


"Unborn children have never had a stronger defender in the White House," Trump declared. He mentioned his administration's efforts on the Mexico City Policy, a pro-life rule on Title X funding, support for the Little Sisters of the Poor, new rules preserving faith-based adoption, and his 187 confirmed originalist federal judges.

"Sadly, the far-left is actively working to erase our God-given rights, shut down faith-based charities, ban religious believers from the public square, and silence Americans who believe in the sanctity of life," the president declared. "They are coming after me because I am fighting for you and we are fighting for those who have no voice, and we will win."

Given that it was during last year's March for Life that the "True Conservative" grifters in our movement decided to use their influence to slander a pro-life 16-year-old for the crime of Being White While Protesting, it's a great time to re-read Julie Kelly's carpet-bombing of the "Call Out 'Conservatives'" who gleefully join the left whenever possible.

On Sunday afternoon, as the media's narrative fell apart and the reality of the situation came into view, National Review quietly removed Frankovich’s article from its website. Rich Lowry, the outlet's editor, explained in a very brief post that he and Frankovich had been duped by a "hoax" and that Frankovich's "strongly worded post" had been taken down. Lowry also deleted a few of his own tweets that inaccurately portrayed the incident.

That was it. Rather than acknowledge that the editor and deputy editor for a once reliable and thoughtful conservative magazine were complicit in mob-shaming teenage boys attending a pro-life rally, they quickly excused their behavior as nothing more than gullibility. There was no apology, save for this quasi mea culpa. There was no "calling out" other conservatives who also had participated in the viral assault on innocent young boys.

Two NRO articles addressed the the media’s malfeasance in the matter. In particular, "Nathan Phillips Lied, The Media Bought It," wrote Kyle Smith.

But the fact that editors for National Review also bought into the various lies escaped mention. This also included senior editor Jay Nordlinger, who deleted a January 19 tweet that read, "the images of those red-hat kids surrounding and mocking that old Indian are unbearable. Absolutely unbearable. An American disgrace." Jonah Goldberg hand-waved away Frankovich's vicious post as just "different people reaching different conclusions or having different opinions."

Goldberg and Lowry also retweeted false accounts of the event to their hundreds of thousands of followers, inviting even more people to join in in the public lynching of a boy.

So, what motivated a seemingly measured man like Frankovich to pen a midnight hit piece on teenagers? What compelled Lowry and Nordlinger to join the outrage mob, and Goldberg to defend their choice? Why do NeverTrump (or even SometimesTrump) "conservatives" like Lowry more often than not side with the Left's mercenaries in the media who are hellbent on destroying this presidency and the people who support it? After all, these are the same folks who warn us on a daily basis that the president cannot be trusted, that he’s a dishonest purveyor of the truth, and that his cult-like followers have no ability to distinguish fact from fiction.

The easy explanation for their bad behavior this weekend would be confirmation bias, the propensity to select or ignore evidence to support a specific viewpoint. Anti-Trump "conservatives" long ago decided that Donald Trump not only is unfit for office, but that his supporters are ignorant rubes with racist tendencies. (NR's David French wrote recently that Trump is the reason for a supposed--but actually imaginary--rise in white supremacy.)

In an interview Monday night, Goldberg again defended his side’s confirmation bias by invoking another tactic--false equivalence. "The confirmation bias that says, ah ha, this proves that the people I disagree with aren’t just wrong, they're evil, which is rampant on both sides of the aisle these days." Contrary to how Goldberg tries to sell it, it's pernicious on one side: His.

But this time they crossed a line.

Yes, this time they made it quite clear with whom their true political/cultural allegiances lay. The masks slipped, a little too far to recover in time.

And I think we all really want to have more "True Conservatism" preached at us by people who gleefully join with the left in viciously slandering pro-life teens.

And we need to have "accountability and honesty" preached at us by people who refuse to this very day to admit their role in the mob savaging, or confess what bad wiring might have caused them to do so.

--

This is the entirety of my support for Trump.

I don't have much of an opinion on his personal life; I wouldn't live mine that way. I don't think too much about his previous donations to democrats; he was a developer who had to work with the party in power.

What I do care about is that, as we discussed here a while back, since 1989, the GOP has come through on exactly two campaign promises - ending the death tax for the year 2010, and not renewing the AWB.

Meanwhile, Trump has succeeded, or partially succeeded in keeping every promise he made during the campaign that I can think of.

When I vote for someone, I expect results, and Trump is about the only office holder that gives them to me, and that is all I want.

Which the True Conservatives never do. The "True Conservatives" only seem to get emotionally invested in politics when it affords them a chance to attack real conservatives and make a show for their liberal friends of "patrolling their own."

++++++++++
This, right here, is the fundamental problem with their argument. This problem is two-fold, with an addendum:
1) It is an arbitrary purity test. "Really conservative" according to whom? To Bill Kristol? Why is his opinion more valuable than anyone else's on conservative purity?
2) It disregards results. From a purely philosophical standpoint, this might be okay but politics is not purely philosophical - it is also practical. If you have conservative results but fail the purity test, you're still bad and results be damned. This is stupid. This is controlled, uni-variable, first-year academic classroom theorizing in a massively complex, multi-variable real world. This is not to say that philosophy is meaningless, because it isn't - but it cannot be the sole criterion. The people who push this line of reasoning appear to have only this one facet.

The real problem with point #1, though, is that it is unprovable. It assumes Gnosticism. To be a "real conservative" and pass the purity test, to Ace's point, you have to be inside the person's head so as to know if he is a "real" conservative and not just acting like one. This is unknowable. These people are not telepaths. They don't know. They pretend to know because they have some kind of higher, received wisdom on the topic. It is arrogant and it is borderline mad.

By the standards of their own positions, it is impossible for anyone without their Gnostic wisdom to know whether or not someone is a "real conservative." And it just so happens, in their self-serving manner, that all of their friends are in anyone who disagrees with them are out.

66 The parable is important here:

28 But what think ye? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard.
29 He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and went.
30 And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir: and went not.
31 Whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say unto him, The first.

Maybe if the Bill Kristols and Jonah Goldbergs picked up a Bible sometime they might learn something. Or their faces would melt like in Indiana Jones. I consider either way a win.

67 Saw like a Reuters headline that went with something like: "Trump breaks precedent to attend anti-abortion rally." Makes it sound like it's bad because it's bad "to break precedent."

But here it's just Trump breaking the long-established precedent of GOP presidents being just a little bit ashamed to have the support of people who ACTUALLY believe abortion is wrong.

And yes National Review is nothing but a grift at this point and probably hasn't been anything else in 50+ years.

How many abortion did trump have to get for his $$$ girl friends and then have to pay them off???
Posted by: raimondo


To put it in biblical terms, God also chose King David as a leader of Israel and Peter as the Rock of his Church.

I'm not even disagreeing that Trump has probably taken care of a few of his "mistakes", but at least he's trying to help NOW. In a concrete fashion no less. Says a lot that he's doing more than "Good Catholic" John Roberts did about the abomination of Obamacare paying for abortions directly (which it does).

Whatever. The man has a past and is not terribly polite.

Fuck.
Right.

76 66 JJ, when he was elected I said that I expected a NY lib Republican and anything conservative would be gravy. Apparently it's Thanksgiving every week.

I still think some of this is driven by the way the establishment has treated him. If the Dems had been smart, they would have given him a few victories in exchange for some of their long-standing wants such as amnesty.

That was my big fear early on, that is the "deal making." If he didn't realize who and what they are in the beginning he sure as hell does now.

Yes they were incredibly stupid not to try and co-opt him instead of trying to overthrow him and claim he stole the election.

The Democrats are dumb; it's just that the GOP historically just let them get away with murder.

94 The easy and foolproof way to forever win the abortion debate is to get as many conservative "volunteers" as possible to consciously sacrifice themselves for the cause in the following way:

Pose -- permanently, in a 24-hour-a-day lifestyle manner -- as racist neo-Nazis. The, form yourselves into groups who come out IN FAVOR of abortion and IN DEFENSE of Planned Parenthood. Go to PP clinics and hold up outrageous (but historically accurate) signs like "Margaret Sanger Was Right: More Abortions = Less Ni&&ers" and so forth.

The people doing this will really and truly "sacrifice themselves for the cause" because they will have their reputations ruined forever as neo-Nazis (hopefully they'll get arrested and get their names and their message splashed across the media), but the end result will be to open the public's eyes to the racist roots of the abortion industry, which will destroy its air of rectitude and sanctity.

He is, in essence, making the same point that the NeverTrump "conservatives" do. Trump failed the purity test. He's a divorcee. He was a cad and a bounder. He has a checkered past of good behavior and bad, success and failure. Like everyone does.

The point is not whether the vessel is perfect or utterly pure. The point is whether the person, when it counts, makes the right choices. Man Trump hasn't always. President Trump hasn't always. But President Trump has made far more better choices than worse choices by my measure. He is governing as a conservative. If he is was not always a conservative in his heart and soul, well okay then. If he is not now a conservative in his heart and soul, that is between him and his maker.

He is governing as a conservative, whatever his personal history or present, hidden reality known only to the Gnostics on the NT right.

I think he may really hate abortion, and is not just on our side because of politics.

In fact, I think much of what he does is based on what he believes. That is hard to fathom from a politician, but it may be so.

I wouldn't blame Laura Bush for her husband. If she has his nuts in her purse that doesn't speak well of him, President or not. Conversely, it's entirely possible that Melania Trump is the catalyst to make Donald Trump a better person: compared not just to the Bushes, but probably Reagan himself. However: Trump had to actually walk the path. He had to make choices that were impossibly difficult. And he deserves the credit for them.

The fact that certain kinds of trolls scream like the Wicked Witch when splashed with holy water. That includes raimondo, but it also includes the "neocons," who betrayed the American people to the last man.

Fortunately for us Conservatives, the Democrats went batshit freaking insane. Add in the RINO Establishment GOP and NeverTrumpers refused to support him early on, he was forced to rely on the Conservatives for his support.

He realizes we are his rock like support that only he can lose through betrayal.

In return, he supports us, while he has patrioticly delivered for the whole nation economically and militarily.

He is not afraid to "shake up the box," and "break the Bureaucrats rice bowl."

Remember when the Mideast exploded after we moved our Embassy to Jerusalem?

He takes controversial stands like appearing at a Right to Life Rally. Controversial? Really?!

His only focus group, as near as I can tell, are the people that elected him to office.

No not with his heart. So to rainmondo I would say this:

God takes great delight in granting forgiveness. When we ask for forgiveness beneath the bright Banner of Jesus, from a heart that hates sin, and with a longing to be holy as God is Holy, we place ourselves on the path of God's Delight. We become a stage for God to showcase the glories of his heart. We join God in his passion to bring many sons and daughters to Glory. We display to Saints and Sinners Angels and Demons that Jesus Christ is a strong savior.

151 Fortunately this issue is now down to amusement value. The jerks mentioned in the article have no influence, and they know it. (Which is one reason they are so pissed off.)

Of those above, there's only one partial exception. I believe Lowry really thinks he can mend fences. I doubt it. But I notice that he never wholly barred pro-Trump writers like VDH and Conrad Black. I'm guessing he thinks that would be enough. Again, I doubt that. At a minimum he'd have to start calling out his fellow Never Trumpers, and put out a major mea culpa. And that would get him only two years on double-secret probation.

I don't know if he's just playing the game now or if these are now hard held beliefs. Either way, he has done a great job thus far in addition to turning on the light so we can see the cockroaches scatter. I will gladly vote for him this time around instead of just pressing the straight Republican ticket button.

Exactly how are these "conservative" thought "leaders" going to square the fact that they opposed Trump doing all these conservative things when the man himself is no longer around? A year after Trump's out of office, no one is going to care that he was crude, called names, or hurt these micropenised idiots fee-fees. Their jig is up, and they are latching on like ticks to the only sustenance they can see coming down the pike.

From Today's Cuckpatch (by Jonah):

"In his column this week, [Hewitt] argues that the only moral and statesmanlike option for Republican senators is "rapid disposition" of the trial "with a strong dose of senatorial scorn."

I find it amazing that so many people think this is all one-sided. Like Hugh, I am perfectly willing to criticize the way the House pursued impeachment and have done so countless times. Unlike Hugh, I'm willing to acknowledge that the president invited his troubles upon himself. Literally the moment the Mueller probe concluded, Trump got on the horn and tried to bully a foreign leader to help him with a political dirty hit on an opponent and to legitimize the Russian propaganda that it was Ukraine that meddled in the election (that is what the Crowdstrike conspiracy theory is about).

If Trump is not punished somehow for it, if people like Hugh - and so many others who are far drunker on Trump's Kool Aid - celebrate acquittal as a vindication of the president, if they echo the preposterous claim he did nothing wrong, Trump will do worse and future presidents will borrow from his precedent."

Yeah, Jonah. Sure. Other people are drinking the Kool-Aid. Uh-huh.

I don't know. He strikes me (from the interview I mentioned above) to have the hate for abortion of a man who's wife or gf decided to have one. Specifically, his attitude reminded me of a couple guys I have known who have gone through that.

This is crude and maybe underestimates the man, but he loves everything he creates and I think for a woman to do that to him would leave a mark. That is my guess. But who knows, he has many other strong conservative values, and he really doesn't seem to do anything he does not want to.

We saw very, very few protestors, maybe a total of 20 or so, all up by the Supreme Court building. They were sullen-faced and sadly, most were young women. They didn't yell obscenities, thank goodness, but they were yelling for abortions in some fashion.

The pro-lifers did what they always do - just smile at them, and keep going. Never engage, never yell, never taunt, just smile and carry on.

The irony is that they stand there across from the Silent No More women, who are holding signs that say "I Regret My Abortion." Those ladies are so brave to be there, and it's very powerful and moving to see them. I hope that some of the protestors may be moved by them some day.

When Trump came out in NYC for his victory speech and he had a big chunk of his enormous family with him, I saw Barron fidgeting a lot on stage. I commented on it later to my brother about how I was surprised he was fidgety. I know it was late and probably exhausting and confusing, but that I found his fidgeting to be unexpected for someone as old as him.

That's when my brother told me that giant kid was 11 years old. Actually a kid. I figured he was 14 or 15.

209 In Brandon Sanderson's novel The Way of Kings, one of the viewpoint characters is considering whether another character really is honorable. The viewpoint character in question had been betrayed by another character who had a reputation as honorable, but wasn't in reality. And the viewpoint character was wondering whether this new honorable man was going to also prove to have a rotten core.
And then the viewpoint character remembered how the man he was thinking about had just made a *really* bad (from a practical standpoint) deal just to keep his word. And the viewpoint character realized that if the man truly was rotten but was still willing to go to extreme lengths in order to pretend to be honorable, there wasn't really any practical difference between that and a man who actually was motivated by a desire to be an honorable man.

Trump is like that. Maybe he's personally conservative. Maybe he doesn't care. But for all intents and purposes, it doesn't matter to me because the practical results are the same either way.

Posted by: RickZ at January 24, 2020 05:33 PM (Y8PSl)

That's a great analogy. You really should read up on the psychology of the kapos: they had to obey any atrocity, because any arbitrary SS officer could simply send them back into genpop. Which mean an incredibly cruel death, even by Nazi standards.

I'm sure Kevin Williamson, for one, fears such a fate more than anything.

236 Religious conservatives are often acccused of hypocritical behavior because they support Trump, who has never posed as a choirboy.

Everyone knows that, including religious people. They still support him because he supports them. Or at the very least, doesn't want to persecute them.

Religious people want only to be left alone to practice their faith. The left will not permit that.

Not terribly frequently, but even in places where there are caps on damages, premiums rise to the level the market will bear, which is a function of the cost of living in an area, not the cost of lawsuits. Dentists in your area figured out they can charge $900 for a crown and people won't walk out. That's what they charge.

On the Yom Kippur after 9/11, my rabbi gave a sermon on this topic. He was a reform rabbi and as liberal as you'd expect. But he either wasn't a leftist or he stopped being one as a result of 9/11. He gave the best sermon I ever saw him deliver on that Yom Kippur. He talked about how, while there is all the room in the world for a difference of opinion, there is such a thing as good and evil and we had best not forget it. We had just been given an object lesson in evil and that evil must never be accepted and it was our job as the faithful to use our judgement and prayer to try, every day, to discern evil and keep it separate from the good.

At some point, if you say that your wife's loyalty is just her acting loyal, that woman has the right to kick you in the beanbag.

By the same token, the fact Donald Trump is obviously a better man and better Christian than anyone who occupied the Presidency since St. Ronnie (probably since Silent Cal) has to be acknowledged. No irony. No little winks to the cunts who want normal Americans dead. Just "of course he's a bro, fuck off you cocksucking queers."

This argument seems the most idiotic thing I possibly have ever heard- which is not surprising since it comes from NT's (who suffer at best from Intellectual dissonance and at worst from moral cowardice and betrayal.)

George Bush Senior was the worst. He was known as a 'moderate' from the 1970s so that when he *did* make some pro-life moves as President, the Left treated it as hypocrisy, insincerity, and betrayal. Thus pleasing absolutely nobody.

The Quayle pick was a case in point. What would you say Quayle did here, in George Senior's Cabinet? Gore was active in Clinton's. Cheney acted as George Junior's executive-officer, was more powerful than George himself if anything. But George Senior sidelined Quayle like Barky sidelined Biden.

There are Word People, and Action People. And by and large, they each have little regard for the other. So the Word People (and journalists, think tank people, and most politicians are certainly that) largely don't care what people DO, they care what they SAY. And Trump, well, you know, he blusters, he doesn't always speak in complete sentences, he uses crude words and language - the Word People think he's beneath him.

The Action People, on the other hand, are less outraged about a guy who talks about theoretically "grabbing them by the p****," than they are a guy like Clinton, who actually did the deed, or a guy like Biden, who at a minimum sniffs the hair. And the actions they see from Trump on the economy, Iran, immigration, etc., have them firmly on Trump's side.

It's hard to bridge the divide between the 2 sides. I must admit, I've spent most of my life as a Word Person, and I've been slow to warm to Trump because of that. But I'm also devoutly pro-life, and Trump has actually done more for the cause through judges and the March today, than all previous Republican presidents combined. So I'm coming around.

Yeah, when the docs offered the amnio to check for serious comorbid disorders like Edward and Downs, we declined, and there was no pushback. They seemed happy about it.

Of course when you have a baby that faces these kinds of challenges, you go to doctors who are very, very serious about and accomplished in pediatrics.

I don't think the Gilles de Rais type doctors you find at PP go into the field.

The man has been through hell. He has done what most people would have thought impossible: make us empathize and feel sorry for a billionaire. And yet he keeps going.

Why is he the only one who feels it's in his self interest to HELP the conservative cause when he could just as easily think as all the RINOS did before him that it would be more in his interest to play towards the middle, or cede to the leftist shrieking like they all did too?

Maybe because he really believes in it. He certainly acts like he does, and nobody would endure the shit he's had to endure, not only him but attacking his family too, unless he was truly a lover of America like Reagan was.

This. Don't care about his motivations. He had the courage to promise certain things that I agreed with, and he had the courage to stand by them and fight for them.

However, thus far, he has shown what I suspected. He deeply loves America and Americans, and he wants us to succeed. In all but a few items, he has earned my trust.
Remember his cringeworthy abortion answer, if abortion was illegal, women should be punished for abortions? I cringed, but it was the right answer. That is when I knew that, regardless of whether it is most politically expedient, Trump will earnestly try to do the right thing.

He also has a great take on why these people are instantly discarded by society once their goals are accomplished - people who change the world, for better or worse, are disruptors by virtue of what they are.

People don't like disruptive people. If circumstances were normal, and not dire, they would be assiduously ignored, ridiculed and sidelined, and die in obscurity.

But when circumstances demand disruption, they immediately come to the fore.

So, once they've finished saving everyone's bacon, they get shoved back in the closet where people don't have to hear and see uncomfortable things.

Thanks Lizzy.

This is likely what happened and I think it's indicative of a certain mindset of conservatives that they accepted it and still voted for these people. I imagine there are many people who vote based solely on this issue so it's pretty devastating to the psyche to not get any positive reinforcement from the people you voted for.

Abortion policy before Trump for your standard GOPe retard was to come into office and sign the Mexico City EO about funding abortions overseas and then that was it. I wouldn't be surprised if at least one of these guys said, "Promise kept!" while he signed it while others in the room laughed. They never had any intention of rocking the boat.

A story arc known by both ancient Greeks and the Maya, um....among others.

It is a powerful theme if used by a good story teller: the fallen man who becomes a hero. Or the Villain who becomes a hero after a change of heart.

Eh, I go to a dental clinic in Los Algodones, Mexico (right close to Yuma), and the dentist's diploma is from Red Deer College in Alberta. They are good workers. At about 30% of the going rate in Canada.

434 You know why the NeverTurders are angry?

You might be tempted to think it's because that Trump decided to not ask for their permission to run for the nomination.

But you'd be wrong.

Their 3 year temper-tantrum is due to the fact that Trump decided to win.

It truly was my pleasure, Salty. I have so many good stories from the people I talked to today.

One thing I loved was seeing the different groups - a lot of Catholic churches, as always, but also Protestant churches and groups. And I was pleased to see banners that read "Secular and Pro-Life." And tons and tons of high school kids and college kids. So good to see.

440 401 Im starting to wonder if for the first 2 years the "experts" and experienced advisors told Trump not to go to march for life, and then at some point Trump started to think, you know... you guys are fucking idiots, why the hell should I listen to anything you say now?

Sort of like the Pentagon. I really think Trump believing the best out of everybody and the the old Bushie types he enlisted would help him, and now he's starting to realize everyone in DC is a fucking idiot including the people he hired.


I expect Trump Part 2 is going to be running the government by himself one year into his second term and we'll all be better for it.

Posted by: Two Weeks From Soyville at January 24, 2020 06:09 PM (+dsLj)

Oh I definitely think it's largely due to the election and he feels like he needs to shore up that part of the base. There's been some seriously fuckery going on in the religious part of the base with the Christianity Today stuff and probably a lot more I don't know about. Notice how quickly Trump hit back on that. He knows what's going on. Also important to note that the person who wrote that screed and anyone supporting it is a wolf amongst you and should be cast out to the outer darkness. The timing of it stinks to high heaven and they probably have some interesting deposits in their bank accounts that people would love to know about.

Do I think Trump is pro-life? I don't know, but I remember listening to the story he told about why he changed his mind and I found it plausible. I could see meeting someone who I thought was a fabulous person and then finding out they almost got aborted and having that change my views. It's believable.

Anyway most of it right now is politics because of the attacks on Trump from some "evangelicals". I wouldn't worry about it because he seems to be willing to try as hard as he can to deliver on his promises and he actually works to the goal. I have some reservations about the judges (they might end up being cucks), but I wouldn't be surprised if Roe goes bye bye some years after Trump leaves office due to the seeds he's planting right now in the judiciary. Lacking that, we could see some serious restrictions on the laws on the books now.

Posted by: ace at January 24, 2020 05:45 PM (PbpT7)

Yeah, I am with this. It sort of mattered in 2016 whether or not Trump was a true believer or just playacting because we had to work up our own predictions of his future behavior. But we now have actual real world evidence of how Trump will behave as president, so whether or not he's read "The Road to Serfdom" or Russell Kirk, or whatever, is much less important in the grand scheme.

You can go to Mumbai or Mumbai can come to you...what's the difference? For some strange or evil reason we've decided to give some of our best paying industries completely over to foreigners. The West has been at war with the West for decades now.

444 My wife is an office manager of a dental office. Mexican dentistry isn't a bargain to fix when it goes wrong.
Posted by: USNtakim profoundly deplorable. at January 24, 2020 06:12 PM (0OmEj)

In Mexico, you don't sue the doctor or dentist.You report it, it's investigated, and if the doc is found to have been GROSSLY negligent, there's a loss of license and even prison time.

Save money, sure, but it's different.

Posted by: NaughtyPine at January 24, 2020 06:24 PM (/+bwe)

445 What this impresses upon me is what cowards previous "prolife" presidents were. I wasn't Trump fan, and I admit I wrote in rather than vote for him in 2016 (I've come around, y'all, MAGA 2020). That he is the only president to *ever* attend the March for Life, even though every R president in my lifetime has claimed to be prolife, should make those other presidents ashamed of themselves. I'm ashamed of them.

God bless Pres. Trump. His presence at the March is greatly appreciated.

450 Wise man once said:

"By their fruits ye shall know them." - Matthew 7:16-20

What are the fruits that Trump hath wrought?

Is President Trump a conservative? Who's the last president that attended the March for Life? Who are the SCOTUS justices he has put on the bench? Who are the federal justices he has appointed? What are his policies? What are the results of his policies?

If President Trump isn't a conservative then the word is meaningless. His accomplishments and the results of his policies give a much better answer better than any talking-head pundit ever could.
