That’s the headline
at Fox News today based upon a tweet this morning by @realDonaldTrump which says:
"The Freedom Caucus will hurt the entire Republican agenda if they
don't get on the team, & fast. We must fight them, & Dems, in 2018!”
I want to thank president Trump for clarifying who the “real”
Donald Trump is for those who might not have been paying attention. The Real Donald Trump has embraced the
socialist-lite policies of establishment
Republicans in the House and Party leadership, and The Real Donald Trump sees the
Freedom Caucus as the enemy. He’s pretty much threatened to use the power of
his office to drive out The Freedom Caucus if they won’t get on board the Trump
train.
Needless to say I hope conservatives, whether initially Trump
fans or not, are hearing alarms go off with the rhetoric that’s coming from
Trump and his surrogates. The word “loyalty”
keeps popping up, as if House members with an “R” after their names are somehow
now beholding to Donald Trump rather than to their constituents or to the
Constitution. I hate to invoke the
Hitler analogy since it’s been so gratuitously and absurdly misused by the Left
against Republicans, but personal loyalty to one man was no small part of Germany's problem. How was the U.S.,
or the Democrat Party for that matter, served by personal loyalty to Barack
Obama? Let history teach us the
proverbial lesson conservatives are always fondly preaching about by focusing
loyalty where it rightly belongs: to the
people and the Constitution.
I have a message for The Real Donald Trump. I hopped aboard your train rather than face a
head-on collision, but don’t think I’m going to sit quietly in my seat while
you steer the train down the wrong track just because it’s the track of least
resistance. I don’t care about your legacy. I care about the future of this nation and
about preserving our Constitution for the welfare and freedom of my children
and fellow citizens.
Long live the Freedom Caucus.
