Trump

    All of a sudden Donald Trump is colorful face on the political horizon. Politics apparently drew him from his Golden Tower. He is, in case you didn't know, obscenely rich person or a bankrupt gambler. Either way he is a controversial person in business affairs and now in politics. With bluster and pizazz Trump has entered at the top. He's declared himself as a candidate for President. Why did he do this? He knows he will be criticized like never before. Who needs this? 

    Well, it seems that Donald Trump is one of a dozen people that seriously want to be elected President. Has he a chance? Probably not - but as a candidate he has an opportunity to voice his dissatisfaction with the today's political system, and to express his anger at the recent direction that President Obama is promoting. Trump is wise to the growing dead weight of America's excessive bureaucracy, the growing and dangerous federal debt, and the obvious need to turn the entire government back towards the application of  'common sense' in political decisions. For voicing his opinions in loud (and blunt) language the elitist ultra liberal press has been over-critical. They paint Trump as some kind of non-educated rich guy with a jello brain. Their treatment is not unlike that afforded (unfairly) to Sarah Palin a few years ago. Sarah is another fair minded, common sense, conservative leaning person that speaks her mind and gets the public's attention. 

    The liberals want to spend without limits, grow the size of government;  administer the constant creation of new governmental requirements, and to lead the country in the direction of socialism. Trump and Palin are both trying to reverse that trend. They see the disintegration caused by a liberalism that is not tempered with conservative thought. Both see the need for government control of certain political realities - but understand there must be a more cooperative spirit of "what's best for the country" on both sides. 

    Despite liberal resistance, there is no question that America's government is vastly overstaffed, employees over paid, and too many agencies duplicated. Conservatives like Donald Trump and Sarah Palin may not have the horsepower to be President but they certainly should be able to expound on their opinions. The press and other media should at least attempt to discuss all sides of controversial issues. The media needs to bring back some integrity and fairness.

    Liberalism has penetrated most colleges and universities and impressed their philosophy on several generations. That is perhaps the most significant reason for liberalism's popularity today. Liberals tend to create and enlarge welfare programs. That is another reason. 

    Over the years our American government  has been dominated by liberal persuasion. We've steadily drawn away from the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.  Traditions have faded to obscurity. Government ethics and morals have been pushed aside. Honesty in government is a thing of the past.
