As Niki Haley proved last night, conservatives in America are all “c-words” starting with COWARDS, CRAVEN and CORRUPT.
Two weeks ago, Nikki was huddling with her homies (her donors), insisting that Donald Trump was “unqualified”. Now, despite the fact that Trump’s “unstable and unhinged” – and despite the fact that Trump is now closer to being convicted of election fraud – Nikki says she’ll vote for Trump anyway – just as she wants every other Republican to do. Every other conservative. That’s just plain CONTEMPTUOUS – of every single Never-Trumper who supported Nikki or (more fool them!) sent her money!
And COWARDLY again. That word describes an awful lot of conservative behavior. It’s the “thinking” that gave credence to the idea that though you hated Trump as a human, the dollars he put into your pocket told you you had to vote for him anyway.
More C-Words
That’s CORRUPTION making COWARDS and CRIMINALS of CONMEN and CROOKED CLOWNS.
Conservatives, let’s be clear want to CONSERVE – just like their name says. So, the obvious question is: “WHAT DO CONSERVTIVES WANT TO CONSERVE?”
I’m a PROGRESSIVE (I like that word better than “liberal” because “progressive” more accurately describes the nature of my thinking). I want to see human beings progress into our collective future in the best way possible that benefits the most humans possible.
That means we treat as many people as possible fairly and respectfully. And it means we do everything we can to benefit the planet we live on rather than continue to make it unlivable.
Conservatives don’t want what I want. They don’t want a diverse, multi-cultural society that gives equal voice and sway to each of its citizens. And especially its voters.
Progressives, back in the day, weren’t pro-slavery. That was a conservative way of thinking. A CHRISTIAN way of thinking here in America since so many Christians justified slavery by pointing to it in their bibles.
Conservatism CANOODLED Slavery
Slavery’s bottom line is stolen wages. That’s the whole point of enslaving someone. You get their work product for nothing (minus whatever it costs to clothe, feed and house your slave – the costs of doing business via slavery). The Europeans who COLONIZED America – who took its land as their own (though in fact it belonged to other people) – found three CASH CROPS that grew spectacularly well here: tobacco, sugar cane and cotton.
All three agricultural products required huge amounts of physical labor to get from field to factory (wherever that factory was). The money seeking to profit from those crops had hard costs like equipment, land and the seeds themselves and soft costs like labor.
Actually, labor was (and remains) the one big soft cost across most industry.
And that’s why – even to this day – manufacturing will chase the lowest labor costs it can find up to and including slave or prison labor. Cos it’s as close to free (like good old fashioned slavery) as you can get. The battle for a minimum wage in America is a vestige of slavery! Those who oppose having a minimum wage are slavers in waiting.
If the American South had had to pay its agricultural workers a fair market rate for their work – instead of enslaving them – would the Confederacy have risen the way it did? No, of course not! I bet the American South would have become the world’s first worker’s state!
In order to preserve slavery, the southern states formed the CONFEDERACY. I think it’s safe to say that the Confederate States of America were a CANCER on America’s history. It took a CIVIL WAR to defeat them.
From CONFEDERACY To CRIMINALITY
While one never knows what any jury will actually do, if the jury empaneled to judge Donald Trump follows their instructions as they pertain to the law, they will convict Trump – and quickly, too. That will officially make Trump the thing he’s been all his life: a CRIMINAL.
And, because Trump CORRUPTS everything he touches, he’s turned the entire Republican Party into CRIMINALS, too. That’s how it is when you CO-CONSPIRE to COMMIT treason – as the Republican Party did when they nominated Trump despite knowing that Vladimir Putin owned him.
In Nikki Haley’s defense, she didn’t just lose her integrity. The truth is, she never had any to begin with. The instant you CRAWL into bed with Trump, he has you. Anyone actually shocked at Nikki’s flip flop 1) hasn’t been paying attention, 2) doesn’t understand Nikki Haley or the Republican Party and/or 3) could be part of the problem themselves.
It takes CAJONES to speak the truth.
Oddly, that’s one “c-word” CONSERVATIVES don’t do.
