The Hired Gun

Wednesday, 30 September 2015, 11:37 BFH Uncategorized 52

The conservative response to Barack Hussein Obama, a man whose stated mission was to fundamentally transform America, was the Tea Party.

The Tea party knew what fundamentally transforming America meant. It meant sucking more out of the middle class to give to the parasitical class. It never meant taxing the rich, that’s why the Tea Party was always largely comprised of middle-income Americans.

We knew the agenda was about giving more political power to the unproductive, which would include opening the floodgates to the border, and the voting booth, in order to ensure that democrats stay in power forever. The plan is to expand the entitlement class by handing out bread crumbs in exchange for votes while 90% of Americans raced to the bottom. The rich, democrats and republicans, would remain largely intact.

The Tea Party fought back. We took the hill. We neutered Obama. Then something funny happened. Our representatives began to sneer at the Tea Party.

We told ourselves that when “our guys” didn’t march triumphantly through DC with a giant gavel that it was because we had class. But we should have known better. They didn’t march with a gavel because they knew they they had a problem. They weren’t on board with the Tea Party. They were on board the “fundamentally transforming America” train.

Obama wasn’t stopped. He was enabled.

Every radical pick for the Supreme Court was confirmed. Every smashing of the debt ceiling was facilitated while dissenters were called wacko birds, crazies and extremists. Obama is allowed to call the Mexican border an issue that requires “reform,” while laws exist that could handle the problem, unless, of course, stopping illegals from entering is the part that needs “reforming.”

When the Tea Party got vocal on these issues, our representatives seemed embarrassed by us.

Enter Trump.

Trump is a business man, an opportunist and a winner. Is he a conservative? I don’t know. But does he have to be? I think of him as a gun for hire who is going to come to town and take down the corrupt sheriff. He might be every bit as bad as the sheriff, but he understands business, and taking down the sheriff is what he’s hired to do.

Trump is a quick study. He understands his mission. I have to believe he’s going to play his part to the hilt and please his employers – The Tea Party.

We’ve already had a bunch of actors playing the part of conservatives that were willing to break our business arrangement.

I think Trump honors contracts. He understands this contract. I think I’m going to roll the dice with him and sign on the dotted line, despite what all the bad actors – George Will, Charles Krauthammer, Karl Rove, The National Review, The Chamber of Commerce, Glenn Beck and the rest – say.

  5. Couldn’t have said it better myself. I’m done trying play nice within establishment parameters. Trump may or may not be as conservative as we’d like, but his plans for immigration, guns and especially his tax reform make perfect sense.

    Both houses are corrupt beyond repair. Send in the Trumpster!

    Btw, if you haven’t seen Ted Cruz’s 1 hr speech on the floor yesterday, you need to watch it. It caused the weird Rand Paul to declare that Ted’s “pretty much done for” in the Senate. Gee, Rand, I guess you told Ted, huh? Hey, Rand keep aligning yourself with McConnell and the current GOP leadership and your days are numbered, “sir”.

  7. Here in The People’s Republic of New York, Donald Trump is considered something of a joke. People say to me, “Oh, but he’s such an egotistical jerk.”

    Oh, yeah? I tell them. “But he’s an egotistical jerk who get things done.”

    If they still don’t get it, I say, “I have two words for you–WOLLMAN RINK.”

    Then the light bulb goes on.

  8. Watch McCarthy and even Ted Cruz – they are careful with their words. I hate listening to politicians who are careful with their words. I want a STRAIGHT ANSWER to a question. Cruz was my #1 guy but every time I hear him speak, he speaks like a POLITICIAN/LAWYER.
    I TRUST Trump to do what he says. If he can’t do it, no one can.
    If Trump just builds a wall and deports POS – good enough for me!

  10. Can’t argue that Sen Cruz chooses his words carefully and thus sounds like a politician. At least he actually does what he says. Always has. He tends to play nice, but after 7 years of destruction by both Dems and Repubs, I’m done with playing nice. Ain’t got time to play nice.

    Pumped about sending Trump in!! Fire ’em all!!

  11. I need to agree with the man himself. “Why are we even having an election”. What makes guys like Trump so successful is they possess the ability to gather a winning team and efficiently manage that team and execute. He’s no politician. And he’s not a litigator. Goals will be set, and goals will be met. We need him in office NOW, before war begins with Russia.

  13. Here, let me fix that:

    I believe that Trump’s constitution is such that it would not allow him to get in front of the American people and promise things he has no intention of delivering.

    Cruz ditto

  14. For those who don’t know the story, check it out.
    40 years ago, Trump kept his promise to the people of NYC.
    Early, under budget, with union labor.
    Who says Trump isn’t a conservative?

  17. I heard something on a FOX News show yesterday where someone said ‘it appears we’re looking at the birth of a NEW Republican Party’!

    I think Trump is just the catalyst we need to kickstart the process!

  19. Excellent post, BFH, I certainly agree! UNLIKE our elected traitor politicians, I think Trump understands and appreciates that the middle class is the strong foundation upon which the upper classes’ fortunes are built and grown. If not for all levels of the middle class,and the opportunity to “climb the ladder of success”, there would be no forward progress for the endeavors of the rich. I believe Trump is genuinely concerned that Obama has nearly destroyed that middle class foundation – it has served Trump well, and he seems grateful for that, UNLIKE the elected traitors.

  22. Amnesty?? OR the good ones can come back – they gonna pay all their expenses with their EBT cards, too ?

    Is he gonna fix the military and get the PRO America Leadership in OR keep sodomizing it with homosexuals ??

    Is he gonna fire ALL of Barky’s hires in those eight years PLUS another 100% AND reduce govt spending ??

    Is he gonna stop rewarding third worlders for illegally jumping the border ??
    ++++
    I’d trust him to honor his contracts like I’d trust him NOT to declare bankruptcy four times.

  23. Good article, no misrepresentations there. I agree 100%. For all you that want to support Trump but are afraid of how Trump’s comments reflect on you…..you need to be a different kind of supporter. You are to promote Make America Great Again.

  24. I hope that Trump holds daily press conferences disclosing all of the waste and stupidity that he finds in WaDC. It’ll be combative and it’ll be awesome.

    Images of entrenched gov workers vacating their jobs carrying their desks in banker boxes filing out of every gov building in DC. When the media freaks out about it he counters with it’s time they find real work in the private sector-with new jobs-thanks to Trump’s America Inc.

  26. Wollman is a great and perfect Trump story. I wish he would tell more of the details on the stump. And of his daughter, Ivanka, he recently said in an article about her conversion to Judaism (when she talked about her incredibly full schedule and adjusting to the orthodoxy of the faith), “She gets things done.” I wonder where she learned that?

    My sense is that Trump is like Susuna Martinez when she said, “Well, I’ll be damned! We’re (she and her husband) Republicans!” A lot of people vote ‘Rat because they buy their lie “We’re the good guys”. If they start to look at their values they realize they are a lot more conservative than they realize. I think Trump, based on his values is a lot more conservative than most people think. His admitted contributions to ‘Rats, from what I can gather, have been in his (self-interest — John Galt, anyone?) pursuit of furthering his empire. Very conservative thinking behind that — Libertarian, even.

    Go Trump!! I’ve signed up to his campaign and have written him to offer coordinating a campaign visit to Seattle. Would love to make that happen.

  27. OMGosh! You, too? I love Cruz to pieces, but his speech pattern is like a pull-string doll. 🙁 I hate it! It’s like someone put a quarter in him! And for a man of his size, he could use some lessons on how to get his voice down in his diaphragm and out of his nose!! Look what Trey Gowdy does with that skinny frame of his!

  29. Fur, thanks so much for this!! I sure needed a shot in the arm today. You are spot on — as you often are.

    We are all exhausted from listening to weasels chattering their weasel-y words! Trump’s “Art of the Deal” is business school must-read and it’s because everyone has to win or there’s no deal. This is why he said that he would shred the NAFTA — it was a bad contract from the beginning, should never have been authorized and it needs to end.

    Trump knows that a deal agreed upon through lies or cheating is no deal at all and will eventually be breached. This goes for his positions with the American people.

  30. Wow! Powerful and engrossing. He spoke with the impenetrable shield of truth. Thank God that this Warrior has arrived in that cesspool of lies and corruptness and is not afraid to stand up and expose the lies and manipulations that are destroying this once great nation.

  31. I don’t care what Ted Cruz sounds like. I care that he stands by his principles, promises and loves this country, constitution and people more than anyone in little o’s administration and the GOP leadership. He is in trouble because he is keeping his promises to the people who elected him. The ruling GOP want him taken out because of what he stands for and who he works for (the people of Texas who elected him).

    I don’t care if he does “measure” his words. That’s his debating skills (you know, the kind of debate that has rules – not the kind where one group of people try to manipulate the process to shut some people down). He spent his tenure as Solicitor General of Texas speaking to the Supreme Court where measured words mean something.

    I don’t care if he sounds like a politician. Did you watch the video where he called the turtle a liar? What kind of balls did that take? And you see what the leadership is doing to him, don’t you?

    I’m not saying he is better than Trump. I’m not saying Trump is better than Cruz. I’m just pissed that people care about what he sounds like instead of focusing on what he has done and is doing. Reminds me of the left talking about how Sara Palin is dumb because of what she sounds like.

  32. My belief in FOX News proves I can be duped in a big way, but through it all, we learned and we learned well. I’m rolling the bloody dice and regardless how it turns out, I will forever believe I am doing the right thing because anything but Trump is a disaster!

  33. Claudia — I’m pretty sure Bad Brad and I were simply talking about his delivery — not the man and his principles. Those are first-rate. I worry that his message is lost in his delivery. A speaker should know when he is putting up stumbling blocks to his message. I was 1000% for Cruz and still am.

    Trump does have a point, though, when he says that this election will not be about “nice.”

  36. One of my favorite Donald Trump stories:

    Trump was on a committee to raise funds for a hospital wing. The goal was over a million dollars. They had planned a benefit, and auction, and were going to sell 800 tickets. It didn’t look like things were going to work out.

    Trump showed up late, listened to the situation and said: “Call this PR firm – they owe me a favor and they will have people fighting over tickets. I’ll donate this to the auction which will raise ___$. On the way over, I called the White House. The President is coming, so we will be able to raise the price of the tickets to ___$. That should more than cover it.

    With that, he got up and left with his team of assistants, leaving all the young folks in the room who had never seen Trump operate wide-eyed and slack-jawed.

  37. More Questions — Reorganizing under Ch. 11 (I think this is what he has probably done in the past, but haven’t checked), is often the only logical thing for a business to do without completely going under. Many bankruptcy laws were written just for that purpose. It doesn’t mean he’s a deadbeat or that he started businesses with using the bankruptcy laws as an end goal. This is what people like Fiorina like to trot out as a black eye on their opponents, knowing full well I imagine that there is a reasonable and responsible explanation. And every time Fiorina has made that claim, Trump just looks at her like “pfffft”. As a business school graduate and former CEO, she is probably more versed in bankruptcy law than most and she knows what she is saying is hyperbole. Unfortunately, Trump’s full answer to that charge would take more than a couple minutes to answer. It would be fun to ask Fiorina how HP got around U.S. sanctions to Iran and why she thought HP was above U.S. law. She didn’t exploit a legal process, she completely skirted it.

  38. i like cruz too. He uses his debating style of speech because he wants to convince you to come over to his side. Thats awfully nice of him, and I appreciate it,
    but these f-ing politicians need to be clubbed repeatedly with a big Thor sized hammer. Beat the bastards into oblivion. Smash them into cockroach sized spawns of satan and send them back to hell where they were sent from.

    Piss on it. I’m tired of being screwed.

  39. I really, really want to trust someone. I just find it hard to trust in “talk”. We desperately need a spiritual revival in this country……

    I think I could pull the trigger for Trump……or Cruz……..or Carson…….

  40. AA, He started to respond to her that he used the laws dictated to put his company in a better position and got cut off by the moderator. It was his fiduciary responsibility and Carly knows it.

  45. Yes, I know Cruz’s style of delivery is not the fiery slapdown we so desperately want today. We are living vicariously through Trump’s wiping the floor with the people we elected to oppose Obama, only to be betrayed. It feels so good to have someone say the things we are thinking.

    I just feel let down by people who seem to dismiss Cruz for his delivery even though he is fulfilling the very thing we begged for from the Rs years ago (get a spine/balls).

    I’m not saying that anyone here really dismisses him, I just felt the need to say something.

  47. If you look at those plans he has produced, they are have many conservative elements. What I see him doing is learning quickly what represents conservative ideas, and I think he’s truly adopting them.

    I’m diggin him today. And I LOVE when he pisses off the libstains.

  48. Hey you two. Did you hear what Mitt the bitch Romney said about Cruz and Trump today? The GOP has resorted to Mormon style name calling. Like I said, Trump and Cruz should split from the debates. Google it. It will curl your hair.

  50. Like all the other candidates are gonna do? Trump is the only candidate of either party NOT FOR SALE. He’s our guy to kick in the door of the DC cartel (h/t Cruz) and take ’em down. Every other candidate is beholden to their donors. Very simply, the choice is the GOP establishment or Trump.
