The Fight Of Our Lives in These Memorable Times



The Fight Of Our Lives in These Memorable TimesOh, what a remarkable era we are experiencing today! We will all look back on these days and say “Wow! I never thought I’d live to see a fight like that!” This fight is colossal. It’s Olympian. It’s brutal. It reminds me of a cartoon fight drawn to look like a dust cloud with fists and clubs and rocks mixed in with yelling and cursing and broken bones and gouged eyes and crutches flying about.

President Trump is in the greatest political fight of the past 150 years

Today’s battle is also reminiscent of John Engler’s terms as Governor of Michigan from 1991-2003. Engler was a brawler, a slugger, and he battered his political opponents often, and in the most public, brutal way. The Republican party in Michigan was happy to have him fight the battles they were too timid to enter, and many of them took credit for the gains the party made while Engler was governor. The party sat back and let Engler dominate the arena where the fighting took place while they bragged about what a great job they were doing in keeping Michigan out of Democrat and union control. Engler grabbed his opposition by the throat and refused to let go until they capitulated or got out of his way. It was remarkable to see. When Engler finished his third term as governor, leaving the Republican party to fight their own battles, they found out it wasn’t as easy as Engler had made it look. A Democrat, Jennifer Granholm, followed Engler as governor. Michigan hasn’t had a decent senator since Spencer Abraham left office in 2001. And they were doing so well! Today we see a similar story developing, but with higher stakes. President Trump is in the greatest political fight of the past 150 years. In many ways, it is the greatest political fight in the history of the Republic. Most Republicans seem content to sit on the sidelines, look up at the sky, and whistle random tunes while this knock down, drag out struggle for the very soul of our country goes on in the same room. They offer little in the way of assistance, and a few feel comfortable joining the president’s enemies now and then, giving them aid and comfort with no apparent feeling of shame or guilt. Every day we see both sides going all out to win, or die fighting. On the Democrat/NeverTrump side, no lie is beyond consideration, no fiction is too outrageous or too unsupported to prevent its use against the people who elected Trump as their president. There are secret hearings, scurrilous rumors, public lies, and official corruption, all carried out in such a way that it’s clear the perpetrators believe they will never be held to account for any of it. They’re still smug and smirking, and spewing their condemnation of the duly-elected president as though everyone agrees with them. The Socialists have come out from under their rocks, announcing that a government based on legalized plunder will solve all our problems.

Sounding the battle cry of the righteous

The President, for his part, is even more brutal than his Lilliputian opposition because he has the facts and the truth on his side. He’s sounding the battle cry of the righteous. He’s busting chops every day. He’s a brawler. He’s a slugger. He is absolutely brutal. He fights happily, enjoying the sting of battle. He takes on all comers. He doesn’t bow or apologize for his views. He teases and messes with his petty opponents, calling them out for what they are. He characterizes them in front of national audiences, mocking them and holding them up to the ridicule they deserve. He calls the sniveling press out in front of roaring crowds, daring them to shut the cameras off. I keep coming back to the word ‘brutal,’ but there simply is no better word to describe it. Tomorrow he will renew the fight, stronger than he was yesterday. Count on it. Savor these moments and days, fellow patriots. Help this champion of our freedoms and our way of life at every opportunity, for the day will come when he will step down (not until 2025, we hope), and we will see how difficult it is to continue the fight with the élan he has shown us all. Yes, it’s quite the spectacle. And it’s about time. I’ve waited for this my entire life, and I’m enjoying every minute of it. Savor it with me, won’t you?
