					<description><![CDATA[Dan Patrick thinks that old folks should be willing to die to save the economy in a pandemic?  Is he willing to do that?  If he is, then, with apologies to Charles Dickens, &quot; [He] had better do it, and decrease the surplus population.&quot;  I am not willing to die for Wall Street.

Edited to add:  Donald Trump is a grandfather (literally) ten times over.  Has he volunteered yet?]]></description>

Greetings Big K
I hope you and your family and friends are well.

I’m not certain what you are trying to express in you post.  Why are you upset that people don’t like Trump?  Trump didn’t like some of the past presidents and made no bones about it.  Why should you be upset when the name changed to Trump and it is his turn? It comes with the job.   This will change again at some point. 

I don’t understand the ‘new’ conservatism - mainly because it is not.  I truly believe that a person is accountable for what they say (including tweets) and do. (Or what they fail to say/do.).  

Do you realize that Trump fits into the category of ‘expendables’?  He is over 70 and a grandfather.  Shouldn’t he and the other older Republican leaders lead by example?  

Who in your family are you willing to take the hit?  Remember the odds are just that - odds.  It doesn’t prevent anyone from getting sick, even fatally ill.

What do you mean by cost?  Almost everyone in this country has taken a financial hit of some sort.  The financial lost of someone who was mugged can be quite trivial, but the emotional cost can be quite high.

Finally, while it is a Trump trade mark to attack all the time, I personally believe that it is a sign of weakness.  You can bully &#038; beat people into what you want, but the won’t respect you, like you or willingly cooperate with you.  It certainly isn’t conservatism - rational constructive dialogue - or Christian.  

Best regard,
CJ]]></description>

Hello CJ,

For a better understanding please watch this video with Victor Davis Hanson. I hope you can view the whole video... if not it would be good to start at the 7 minute mark.

Cordially,
Big K]]></description>
