FROM a speech made this week by Donald Trump:

The attack on the Pulse Nightclub in Orlando, Florida, was the worst terrorist strike on our soil since September 11th, and the worst mass shooting in our country’s history.

So many people dead, so many people gravely injured, so much carnage, such a disgrace.

The horror is beyond description.

The families of these wonderful people are totally devastated. Likewise, our whole nation, and indeed the whole world, is devastated.

We express our deepest sympathies to the victims, the wounded, and their families.

We mourn, as one people, for our nation’s loss – and pledge our support to any and all who need it.

I would like to ask now that we all observe a moment of silence for the victims of the attack.

[SILENCE]

Our nation stands together in solidarity with the members of Orlando’s LGBT Community.

This is a very dark moment in America’s history.

A radical Islamic terrorist targeted the nightclub not only because he wanted to kill Americans, but in order to execute gay and lesbian citizens because of their sexual orientation.

It is a strike at the heart and soul of who we are as a nation.

It is an assault on the ability of free people to live their lives, love who they want and express their identity.

It is an attack on the right of every single American to live in peace and safety in their own country.

We need to respond to this attack on America as one united people – with force, purpose and determination.

But the current politically correct response cripples our ability to talk and think and act clearly.

If we don’t get tough, and we don’t get smart – and fast – we’re not going to have a country anymore — there will be nothing left.

More proof that the candidacy of Donald Trump, the thrice married entertainer, casino magnate and ego maniac, is manufactured false hope for “conservatives” and hopelessly naive patriots, who are going to be co-opted big-time by voting for him and thus ensuring their complicity with the satanically immoral and criminal elements in the American government. The result of Trump’s candidacy will be the disarming of resistance, not the empowering of it.

America will never be great until it is virtuous.

Trump’s speech is another example that Trump means to win and to break the Left in the process by fracturing their coalition. A little divide and conquer directed at the Left for a change.

Ah, I guess I’m just not clever enough to see that a candidate who says that homosexual liberation is at the “heart and soul of who we are as a nation” and who perpetuates the unsubstantiated and dangerous theory that an Islamic terrorist murdered 50 people and wounded 53 others in a physically impossible display of expert marksmanship in a dark nightclub one hour after it had stopped serving drinks (while also posting his thoughts on Facebook) is playing a benign political game — no, that he is actually serving the welfare of our country.

Trump will not break the Left. He will strengthen it. He is not a deal maker. He is a deal breaker.

He’s not even a politician, really. He’s an entertainer.

He will, however, do a very nice job — and has already done a very nice job — of compromising those who consider themselves conservative.

Wow, you are in for major disappointment if he wins and you voted for him. I’m sorry to seem rude, but I must be blunt. You will possibly never recover your sense of civic integrity, so disillusioned will you be by your own lack of political judgment.

Only one good thing can come out of this election — the resistance of those who refuse to participate.
