… And Donald Trump is the Problem?
Dustin Detroit July 15, 2015

A quick message to our Republican “leaders” and pundits: shut up and stop complaining about Donald Trump.

The IRS has been used to silence a political viewpoint. This is illegal but all the Republicans can muster are subpoenas for more emails. It has been three years. If you’ve got something, do something. If not, shut up about Donald Trump.

Immigrants flood our border in occasional waves. This is illegal but all the Republicans offer is talk about “comprehensive” immigration reform. In the modern fashion “comprehensive” has come to mean “incomprehensible, let the Supreme Court decide what we mean”. All of my grandparents were immigrants so I am not opposed to immigration; I wouldn’t be here but for immigration. However, if the laws on the books have no meaning, are unenforceable, stand moot and useless, change them. Republicans stand by silently as laws are ignored. They refuse to exercise any congressional power to defend the rule of law. Allowing federal i*********n l*ws to be broken as a matter of policy is nihilistic.

Nihilism defined: a viewpoint that traditional values and beliefs are unfounded and that existence is senseless and useless. A doctrine that denies any objective ground of t***h and especially of moral t***hs. A belief that conditions in the social organization are so bad as to make destruction desirable for its own sake independent of any constructive program or possibility.

And that is exactly where our border policies have landed. I*********n l*w is treated as illegitimate, unfounded, senseless, useless, and devoid of moral t***h. The law is being ignored without any constructive program to replace it. Sanctuary cities are blatantly illegal, yet they announce themselves loudly and no Republican says or does a thing. They should stand up loud and clear for the rule of law and pull the purse strings. Do that or shut up about Donald Trump.

Appellate and Supreme courts disenfranchise v**ers at every turn, rendering valid propositions approved by legal state e******n null and void. This is illegal; courts were never given such broad power. Courts are supposed to interpret the law, not rewrite the law, or create law out of thin air. Courts are not supposed to moralize from the bench. The four liberal justices always v**e in lockstep. Of the five supposedly conservative justices two of them are as unpredictable as the path of a tornado. Their level of havoc on the rule of law is commensurate to an EF4.

And what action do the Republicans take? No action.

Do something or shut up about Donald Trump.

Now I could go on and on as the President kicks sand in the face of most hard working Americans, flitting from subject to subject, telling us who we must live with and how we must live with them, and where we must live with them, that we are inherently r****t and that Muslims are fighting the good fight, that the climate sky is falling, that people who look like his imaginary son are more important than a young woman, who doesn’t look like his real daughter, shot to death by an illegal resident in an illegal sanctuary city firing a gun legally registered to a federal agent.

And through all of this the Republican establishment and punditry are loudly and in unison trying to tell us that Donald Trump is the problem?

Trump is a symptom of the silent disease k*****g the body politic.

You can eliminate Trump, but the disease will continue unabated and most likely undebated. The left shouts and throws a tantrum about everything but nobody on the right talks about anything unless Donald Trump brings it up. This is why the Republican establishment h**es Trump; he forces questions they are not prepared to answer. They wish to remain silent and motionless, under the radar until some imaginary big day in November of 2016.

Trump speaks to the American tired of being bullied by words like r****t, homophobe, xenophobe, and somehow privileged as unemployment continues in record numbers. Americans weary of being acted upon, who would appreciate some action on their behalf. Americans long treated as cash cows for global and local sanctimonious social engineering projects. Americans played as chips in a game of crony capitalism.

Nobody else even talks to that American.

Trump is probably unelectable, but he has the right to run, and to say wh**ever he likes. Why should he shut up when the whole of the Republican Party has carried on a conspiracy of silence and inaction in spite of being in control of both houses and most state legislatures?

And here you have the essence of it; Trump is loud, uncouth, and a loose cannon. Yet, as the mounting politically correct beating upon his business interests attest, he is fearless.

The rest of the Republican Party is just silently contemptible. Their heads are bowed and they are silent about everything; everything except Donald Trump.

There are many problems in America, but Donald Trump is not one of them. Decent people would admit to at least that.

The lack of decent people in governance, bureaucracy, politics, and media is the real problem

talk is cheap. politicians are afraid to do something bold and then lose their job at the poles.

Donald Trump will never be President, but he has stood up for free speech. He has guts and as the Sargent in Full Metal Jacket said " guts is enough ".

I agree, I don't think he will either. I posted it because I appreciate the fact that someone told the republican party exactly the way it is with all this crap going on. Do something or shut up. Can't be more plain than that.

I don't see what's wrong with Trump at all so far. He speaks his mind openly and honestly, he seems more than willing to articulate the ills that have plagued our nation and what ought to be done, he isn't afraid to offend anyone, and I'm very sure he would not be making nice with our enemies. He's bold in his opinions and not like our usual politicians who promise everything to their constituents until they get into office when they sit back and 'do nothing' which is absolutely true for most of them. I don't see Trump letting anyone walk all over him - nor the good citizens of this country. He is a real patriot, and far more p**********l than the current occupant of WH.

My problem with Trump is that I believe he might switch his positions. What he says now is great. I don't believe he always sounded like this. The other thing is he has not held political office.

well, obama was hardly in the senate for any length of time.a good businessman with a great cabinet would be fine minus a political background.

Exactly... Trump is not a so-called Washington insider, and I do not think he has much respect for the way politicians speak out of both sides of their mouth, as the saying goes. To get elected politicians will say wh**ever is expedient. Once they are in office, you know what happens. Nothing. And all both parties do is blame the other side when nothing important gets done.

Trump isn't doing that. He's not promising anything stupid to anyone or any group. He is stating what is so obviously wrong with our government, and he's uncensored. How remarkable, though I've always admired people who speak the t***h no matter how unpopular the t***h is received by others.

As far as experience, Obama didn't need much prior experience to run for president. He only needed an specific agenda.

Trump on the other hand wants to see America put right if it's not too late. And, as I think I've written somewhere before, a smart businessman understands that what's good for the nation's economy will be good for business - and Trump is nothing if not a shrewd businessman.

It may be time for a non-politician to run the country. After all, Ronald Reagan.. an actor didn't do too bad :-)

Anybody would be better than Obama. He surrounded himself with political types. They have more power than the few competent individuals who have haunted this administration. When the one finally leaves, there are professionals in the State Dept, the Military, and the Justice Dept. who will be happy that the amateurs are gone.

Now the wackos in the EPA and IRS and Education Depts. will have to make sure all of the bodies are buried deep and the hard drives wiped clean and the papers are shredded.
