Terrible Choices

On Tuesday, former House Speaker and failed Vice-Presidential candidate Paul Ryan, said that American voters have terrible choices for President this November. Ryan said, “I, like the majority of Americans, wish we had a different choice than the ones that none when we’re being presented with. I can’t help but think of Nikki Haley. The week she was dropping out, she was 16 points on Biden. She’d probably win this thing by 12 points… It’s gonna be a very, very close race. I think they’re terrible choices that we’re being presented with.” This statement shows you how clueless people like Paul Ryan actually are. They believe that we are living in 1995 America when there was still a level of sanity and patriotism with the people on the left.

Regardless of how well Nikki Hayley was polling against Biden at during the primaries, we all know that the moment she got the nomination, the Democrats would pull out all of their heavy artillery against her, and like all RINOs, she would be standing there, fighting them with a butter knife. And by the time the election rolled around, she would be down 12 points. Nikki Hayley, Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan do not know how to fight the far left. They think it’s a flag football game, and the left treats it like a back-alley fight to the death. That’s why John McCain got destroyed by Obama, that’s why Romney and Ryan got pummeled by Obama. They did not understand the nature of the fight that we are in.

The man that Paul Ryan ran against in 2012, promised to “fundamentally transform America”. What does Ryan think “fundamentally transform America” means? Quibble over tax rates and domestic spending. Think back to what America was like in 2006, 2007 and 2008. And think about what America is right now. America has been fundamentally transformed over those last 16 years – transformed for the worse. Does Paul Ryan actually believe that Joe Biden, Barack Obama and the rest of the Democrats are going to stop the transformation of America at where it is today? Biden has let 10 million illegal immigrants into this country in three and a half years, and if he gets reelected by the time he leaves office in 2028, another 15 million illegal immigrants will have entered this country, and we will be paying their housing, their food stamps, their welfare, their healthcare while staving off racial discrimination lawsuits by people who broke our immigration laws to enter our country. Why do you think we have $34 trillion of debt and out of control inflation? Because it makes us stronger financially? It is all done on purpose. It is all part of the fundamental transformation.

The left is implementing a classic Cloward-Piven strategy. They are doing all of this to absolutely crush our country, our economy and our way of life, in order to usher in their authoritarian, Marxist ideology. We will have full-blown socialism within 15 to 20 years if we keep going down this road. The Democrats will talk about supporting the Constitution, and defending democracy, and promoting free market capitalism, but like everything that they say, it is a lie. They don’t believe a word of that. They support our Constitution only when our Constitution serves their purposes, and then will destroy or defy our Constitution when it gets in their way. They love capitalism only when it makes them millionaires, but they don’t trust the rest of us with capitalism. They defend democracy only in elections that they win but will cheat and destroy democracy to get their guy elected. This is what Paul Ryan does not understand. We are in an out and out war, and Paul Ryan is writing strong worded letters in response.

I would love to have two better choices than Biden and Trump, but because we have Joe Biden as the President and his far-left policies, we need Donald Trump. As Nikki Haley would be getting viciously attacked by the politicians and the media on the left, she would be worrying about offending someone in her response, or she would be trying to be being politically correct. She would want to stay above the fray and act “Presidential” as they are bashing her skull in. These people don’t understand the war that we are in.

This is like the people calling for a cease-fire in Gaza. They do not understand what is happening in Israel. Hamas, who was voted in by the Palestinians to run Gaza, want to eliminate every Jewish person in Israel. They do not want a two-state solution, they want a one state solution in which the Palestinians take over all the land of Israel and either slaughters or pushes every Jewish person off the land. That is the existential threat that Israel faces on a day-to-day basis, that’s why a call for cease fire against Hamas is absolutely absurd. That would be like after the D-Day invasion when the allied forces were surrounding Berlin, people calling for a cease-fire with Nazi Germany and Adolf Hitler.

Leftists rely on people like Paul Ryan to execute their attacks on America. Paul Ryan is the proto-typical useful idiot. Does he not realize that the Democrats are trying to put Donald Trump in jail for the rest of his life in hyper-partisan political prosecutions simply for running for President. The most important thing to do is identify who the enemy is, and Paul Ryan has been unable to do that throughout his career. He still doesn’t see the far left as the enemy to America that they really are, and that’s why he wants to continue to play nice with people who want to slit our throats.

Whether you like him or loathe him, Donald Trump is absolutely necessary to the survival of our country. He is the only one willing to stand up to the out of control far left. If Paul Ryan or Nikki Haley or Mitt Romney had been charged with 92 felony counts and facing decades in prison in partisan prosecutions to keep them off the ballot, they all would have withdrawn by now. They would have caved and protected themselves. Steve Bannon told Tucker Carlson last week about his impending imprisonment, “In my twenties, I spent almost four years on a Navy destroyer in the North Arabian Sea, Persian Gulf, Western Pacific, [and] South China Sea. So, in my twenties, I served my country on a Navy destroyer. In my seventies, I’ll serve my country in a federal prison.” Donald Trump is also willing to serve his country in a federal prison. He is willing to stand up and fight the real existential threat to America – the far left. And that is why he may be the last best hope for our country.
